They came in and were warmly welcomed with "Go ahead, sit anywhere; we will be right with you." Unbeknownst to them, unfortunately, it was right as the team was switching in and out. The server, for one, was pouring wine for another table and had their table next. She came up extremely rude, asking for immediate service after being there less than 10 minutes. The server attended to them immediately, and with an amount of attitude you only get from a classic Karen, she decided to try and berate staff and act like they don't provide phenomenal service. I call bullshit when I see it, and her entire experience was made from her own ego and need to complain. Lies trying to make them look bad and just complain for complaining's sake.

I took a chance on it because I remember going to the North Shore in Hawaii, and the food was amazing. I ordered the Ahi sandwich, and it was perfectly cooked. It was definitely sushi-quality Ahi tuna, and the onion rings--especially the sweet onion rings--were delicious. I want you to know that this is a really good spot. It's based on the North Shore in Hawaii, so it offers a little reminder of that. If you've been to North Shore Hawaii, you'll feel a bit of déjà vu.

The crispy lace edges, the juicy center, the grilled onion, the slightly spicy sauce, the slightly sweet bun...all dreamworthy! Their sweet potato fries aren't all that great to look at, but omg, always perfectly cooked and salted! Perfectly complimented with the fry sauce. All that said, we were disappointed when we received our last order: 1. Packaging change (paper wrapped instead of cardboard box for the burgers) robbed the craveable edges of their crispness. Plus there was so much grease on the paper wraps it actually made it messier to eat than before. 2. The sauce has changed. The spice level increased (still not too spicy), but a side of sauce (which you pay more than a $1 for) is now sent in a premade branded packet. I have zero issues paying extra for a good sauce made fresh in-house, but instead of tasting like a fresh sauce made with mayo and spices, it now tastes of oil and spices and is not nearly as tasty. We noticed the difference on the burgers as well, so it seems like their sauce is all premade now and not nearly as good.

First of all, if you haven't been to Montrose, this was my first time, I highly recommend a visit. Main Street has an old-time feel, with plenty of cute restaurants and interesting shops. One of those restaurants is the black cow Café. The menu is very diverse with plenty of healthy and vegetarian options. I had the black bean burger, and it was delicious. I had planned on ordering the bean chili. I really appreciated my server who asked me if I ate meat, the bean chili did have meat in it even though it didn't say so on the menu as far as I could tell. She could've easily just taken my order, but instead she took the extra step to make sure I understood what I was ordering. All in all, I had a great experience here and would certainly recommend if you happen to be in the area.

The sourdough for the patty melt is buttery and crispy as well, and the cheese is melty with smothered fried onions atop it all. It's a wonderful sandwich--I asked for mild spread, btw, but it's good, too. Also, the patty melt comes as double but get a third patty added. I think the patties are 1.75 or 2 oz so it's worth getting the extra meat. The service is relatively friendly. The ambiance is outdoor seating, so there is a lot of street noise. I'm not sure if they have a bathroom. And parking is on the street. Prices are kinda up there for a burger, but to me it's worth it. Keep in mind that smash burgers aren't typically juicy due to the smashing. But the sauce, onions, pickles, and other condiments are where you'll get "juicy" from. You get the smash for the crispy edges and onions smashed into the burger. But I'm not sure the onions are smashed in here, tbh. Give it a try. I believe you'll dig it.

Personally, I think this is one of the best happy hour bars around. Inside, it has a steampunk-y sensibility with rich, dark wood tones & comfy booths.

Pairs well with their Happy Hour Prickly Pear Cider (in a can for $5). - Also, there's Habiscus Cider on draft, which is also sweet and more soda pop-like. It's not on Happy Hour. $9 for a tall glass. - Potato Skins are stacked with toppings and super cheesy. We tried their house Ranch and asked for a side of Bleu Cheese.

Despite being so close to a seafood restaurant, I never expected one of my favorite shrimp dishes to come from here. I'm glad I took the chance.

The spaghetti was cooked perfectly, and the fresh tomatoes, basil, and Parmesan added just the right balance. The warm French bread was perfect for soaking up every bit of the sauce. This dish completely exceeded my expectations and has earned a permanent spot on my list of favorites. Basin 141 continues to impress with both its consistency and its willingness to surprise.

Their hot dog is the platonic ideal of what a hot dog should be. The old bay seasoning on their crispy tots is a stroke of genius. The inside is small, so it's basically an outdoor-only seating or take-it-to-go situation. Thankfully a tall brick wall, umbrella-toting picnic tables, and large sails give ample shade to their large lot. There are a few parking spots in the back if you're lucky, otherwise street parking should be easy to find. When enough people showed up to eat, it felt like a backyard kickback. Music was a perfect volume for conversation and their Regular Show-esque bespoke mural gave us a lot to talk about. You put your order in with friendly staff inside, and they call your name on speakers when it's ready. Ice cold water is freely available as well as some select beers, wines, and juices. It's not fast food, but it's not slow either -- you can't rush something as delicious as what they have to offer here.
