I had the Prescription Pale Ale which was good...the price of drinks is less there on Tuesday nights. My friends an I all ordered burgers. I ordered mine medium with bleu cheese. The burger was cooked perfectly, with a big heap of bleu cheese (I actually took some off), tomato, onions and lettuce. It came with some excellent french fries and a small green salad. My friends had cheddar on their burgers, which looked somewhat better. The burger was good, though definitely not the best burger I have ever had. It's great that they use free-range, excellent quality beef though...however I actually expected the burger to be a bit bigger (I finished it easily). The chicken at the next table looked and smelled great, I might get this next time. Overall, a nice meal with good company, but nothing all that special in my opinion. I'd go back, but for burgers I'd probably want to try some other places.

My last two burgers were cooked as ordered but smaller and less juicy than in years past. Oh well, the beer is still good. Wed Sep 20 23:05:17 -0700 2006 1890527 13346 mattlz
