Have to update my review here. I've been going to FotM since it opened in Wash Park and to the…read moreHighlands one prior. Lately, I've been disappointed. The prices on everything keep creeping up while the quality goes down. I understand food inflation, but coupled with declining quality I'm just no longer a regular customer anymore. The last 3 times I've gone, the fries were very brown on the outside but not overcooked, indicating the oil was old and needed to be changed, this gives them an off flavor that's not good. When done right, their fries are fantastic, however this is a regular issue now. Also, they changed their burger in the past year, something I used to order a bunch, but not at all anymore. It used to be a grass fed patty and now they call this a wagyu blend, but it's awful and tasteless compared to the old one. Additionally, their wings (for some reason only when getting to-go) are either way over sauced, sitting in a pool of sauce and thus get soggy or they're under-sauced. The issue with the oil is really what gets me though. I'm guessing they're dragging it out longer before changing it to save money, but they're doing it at the cost of quality and now they've lost a regular customer. I may revisit next year, but not anytime soon. Employees are relatively friendly and service is ok, ambience is typical of a wing joint.

I really like their inside and outside murals. When we went to order, Stephen Monahan introduced himself to us, as he was manning the bar at the moment. He is the head brewer/owner. My husband commented on them having a Roggenbier. Rye beers are not often something we find on taplists. This one, Roggen Roll Dude!, had a sweet that balanced the bitter of the rye. It was a collab between Monolith and Alley Brews. I enjoyed their German Helles Lager, EO's Dream. Solid, to style and refreshing. We like to also do tasters and discuss, so we got a taster of Nanner Nutz, a Peanut Butter Banana Stout; Vorpal Blade, Roasted Jalapeno/Serrano Ale and Lord of the Links, Smoked Sausage Stout and a collab with A Bit Twisted Brewpub. All were unique and fun to try. This is a worthy stop for some fun brews.

There were a couple dozen people participating in a sushi making class, which we thought was a very interesting and entertaining activity for a brewpub. Their electronic menu board indicated that cooking classes are frequent. The very friendly bartender welcomed the pup in, and served my wife and me a very tasty beer each. Customers came over and greeted our little puppy and told us how cute they thought he was. A very pleasant trip to the pub all around. We'll head back for another visit the next time we're in the area.

The very nice patio was quite busy when we arrived, with lots of families with young children, several dogs, and groups of friends enjoying themselves. The crowd all seemed very happy to be there and was universally very pleasant. We each had a couple of very good beers to match each of our palates, and our four legged friend roughhoused with a great big English Cream retriever, who seemed rather amused at a four month old pup's attempts to wrestle her to the ground. We chatted with the owner and his family while the dogs got their exercise. We will definitely return to this great brewpub the next time we're in the area.

I went this time for the burger. I used to go 20 years ago for Golden Tee when in the area, but…read moreapparently they got rid of that machine about 19 years ago. Anyway, the burger. This was my next stop on hitting every burger on Westword's Best Burger List, and I had the deLIGHT of that burger this past weekend. Straightforward, simplistic, and delicious. But, let's take a step back. First of all, the service was PERFECT throughout my visit. Cheryl was my bartender, and gave me efficient, personable, flawless service that elevated my visit. She catered to me, the new customer, and took care of the regulars well, as she obviously knew them all. They had a Voodoo Ranger IPA on tap for me, which made me happy. I was able to get a seat at the bar luckily, and I think you have to be lucky, as the regulars populate them well. Back to the burger. As I said, very simplistic yet tasty. You get chips with it, and a side of onions and pickles. It was worth the trip, and worth being on that list, without a doubt. It is ironic that my darkest lighting in my pics IS the burger-guess I needed a candle lit next to it for a better pic. See what I did there? The bar area is on one side as you come in the door, and the place circles back around to it through the game room. You could technically do bar laps if you wanted to, although that would be a little weird at a dive bar. Pool tables, darts, foosball, and they had some blues rock in the background. Great atmosphere. Don't go looking for white table clothes here. But, if looking for lots of games, a cool dive element, and a surprisingly fantastic burger, this is your place. I highly recommend, and see you there...

I'm the weirdo that actually likes Malort, along with other bitter stuff like amaros and Campari. What grosses me out is sweet stuff, so I'll take all the bitter stuff. Did you know Malort smells pretty good? Check if it's happy hour! Also, being greeted by that big, fluffster, gentle giant pupster helped with the first impression :)

To respect the event I was attending, my objective at Trash Hawk was to obtain a ginger beer to have with my burger. They did not have ginger beer but offered ginger ale. They sat down a drink in my vicinity that had a lime with it and it took a sip, and it turned out to be a margarita that belonged to a nice lady. I was confused why there was a lime. The bartender gave me my ginger ale and made the lady a new margarita. Being a trash panda aficionado, I was delighted with the aesthetics of the place. Someday when I'm not striving for sobriety, I'll be back.

I'll definitely come back and try the dry cider and some of the food which looked great too.

On really hot days the few shaded spots go first so there may not be opportunity for cooler spots. The indoors is fairly small but on nice days the garage doors will be open. Beer is a good variety and has all the favorites. Princess Yum Yum is always a hit. Food is actually really good for a brewery. The wings and duck fat fries are a highlight. Burger is pretty good but they don't allow any substitutions. Service can be hit or miss, sometimes they are friendly and sometimes they forget about you and give you attitude. Right next door is Right Cream so you can enjoy ice cream after your beers and food.
