This place is nice because it's open late and has some pretty tasty food at a great price! We…read morestarted with an appetizer of breaded fried mushrooms, which came out super fresh and crispy with a tasty dipping sauce. For my entree I got the Texas toast grilled cheese with cheddar instead of American, and it was very good! The cheese was perfectly melty and the bread had a strong garlic flavor. I ordered tomato in the sandwich as well, but they did not put it in there. Our server was nice though and it's a cute pub, pretty typical pub vibes with lots of tvs around and a large bar seating area.

We stopped by McCoole's at the Historic Red Lion Inn on a Friday evening with a party of four and…read morehad a good experience overall. The food was very good, although they were out of a few of our first-choice menu items and drinks. I was hoping for a stout, but they only had a bottled porter, which ended up being a solid substitute. My wife and I were also looking forward to the Friday/Saturday Queen Cut ribeye, but since it was sold out we went with the NY Strip and the Swiss & Wild Mushroom Burger. Both were tasty. Our daughters enjoyed the Linguini & Clams and the Boursin Bacon Burger as well. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The only minor downside was that our water glasses weren't refilled unless we asked. One surprise was how quiet it was for 6:30 on a Friday night. It wasn't busy at all, but that made it easy to have a conversation without competing with a noisy dining room. We finished with the crème brûlée and chocolate mousse cake, and both desserts were a great way to end the meal. Overall, a nice dinner with good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Hopefully next time we'll get to try that Queen Cut ribeye!

The last time, the service was horrible. I was the 2nd person to sit at the bar. The bartender obviously knew the other guy as they chatted up like I wasn't even there. After the bartender finally dropped her 12 f bomb in her conversation, I interrupted and asked if I could order. When to food came, she placed it in front of me and walked away. No utensils. No ketchup. Nothing. Thankfully it was a sandwich and fries. The other two times I was there, the bartenders were very engaging.

Attentive. No problems. Had the beef sliders with fries. Sliders are sliders so they are small. You get two. They're cooked well done and needed something to make them less dry. Ketchup. Fries are the thick kind. Steak fries. Really good. Very salty. No Newcastle beer which was disappointing. Especially given the sign outside says "Newcastle" beer which made me want it. Oh well.

We started with the Toasted Almond & Fig Hummus, a house-made hummus served with flatbread and…read moretortilla chips. I loved the fig flavor--something different that I hadn't tried before. For my entrée, I had the Grilled Salmon with asparagus, steamed rice, and pesto sauce. It was good overall, though the salmon itself was a bit mild and needed a touch of salt. The asparagus and rice were perfectly cooked and very tasty. My partner ordered the Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, served with chipotle maple black bean salsa, mashed potatoes, and green beans. He absolutely loved it--the pork was moist and flavorful, and the sides were just as good. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, which we appreciated. The pub has a really cool vibe, but it became extremely loud as more people came in. Unfortunately, it got to the point where we couldn't even hear each other to have a conversation. We had planned to order dessert, but decided to leave instead--the noise level was just too much, and it gave me a bit of a headache.

I had a delicious Prime Rib sandwich, this is The Perk's, known go to with horse radish, dipping broth, chips and a Diet Coke. We also ordered onion rings. Everything was vert good. It can be a little hard to hear in the dining area. It was full and the waitresses were busy. Speaking of our waitress, she was upbeat, big smile and easy to speak with. I do not know how The Perk does it but with the crowd they have, they get the meals out quickly. Competitive pricing. Owners visits around making sure everyone is enjoying their meal. There is a parking area but small. On street parking for most customers. Cash or credit. I enjoyed our meeting and very good lunch. I do not think you will be disappointed eating at The Perk.

In the past I've chipped my tooth on tiny bones in the pulled pork. Had pizza so watery I could pour the water off, and had rotten salad ingredients. The bartenders are excellent, so if you want beverages you will be in good hands. They used to have a great Sunday brunch but haven't had enough help to make that happen lately (I heard).

Now that it's warm and summer time is approaching, it was always a great spot to stop for a bite and a drink after the lake. Who wants to sit inside after being wet and sun kissed. Come on Beckers, please bring back the outdoor seating!!
