On a President's Day Monday at 1pm, the establishment seemed at just under half occupancy. I thought I needed to wait for seating, but staff said I could pick any table and they'd head over shortly. My friend and I ordered the sausage roll ($12) and scotch egg ($13) appetizers to share, and I ordered the bangers and mash ($19) entree for myself. The sausage roll, cut up into 6 slightly larger than bite-sized pieces, consisted of flaky and buttery pastry with herbal, earthy, and slightly crumbly sausage out of its casing. Imaging homemade breakfast sausage, but less sweet and more sharp. The accompanying brown mustard provided a nice contrast, yet remained relatively mellow. It also came with a bit of field greens so I could pretend to be healthy. The scotch egg arrived as a textbook example of a softboiled egg with a yammy yolk. The outer sausage shell tasted similar to that of the sausage roll. The accompanying chili jam cut down on the savoriness just a touch; it melded tart, spiciness, and sweetness yet also remained mellow, not overpowering the egg. My entree, the bangers and mash, proved exceptional. The peas were some of the brightest, most vibrant, juicy and crisp peas I'd ever had. Each one had just a slight burst at the bite. The caramelized onions adorning the mash had been browned down a long time, like what you'd expect in French onion soup. The mash itself, made from red potatoes, tasted robust and rich without being overly dense or overly reliant on butter (not shaming butter, but these potatoes deserve to shine, not drowned out). The bangers themselves possessed crisp, taunt casings with juicy interiors. I would almost describe it as "fresh" in the same way I would describe high-quality vegetables. Weird, but I don't know how else to express this sentiment. Service was a bit slow, probably from the Monday holiday. Since it was technically a weekday, I was able to order $4.5 bud lite drafts from the happy hour menu (Mon-Fri 1-230pm). Overall, I walked away quite impressed from what was me randomly picking a place to get lunch after being at White Birch Armories at opening to beat the range wait.

It was mid-day on a weekday, and there was a gathering - sounded like an office function - in the main bar area, so I took refuge at a small table near the front. Each visit to Cara reinforces my ties to the bar. The wait and bar staff have consistently been helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The menu offers a great example of Irish pub fare, all reasonably priced. I was in for a boilermaker (Maker's Mark with a side cider), and although it's not listed on the menu, I ordered a side of fries without the curry. Perfect comfort food in a relaxed pub setting.

We have been dozens of times and always enjoy ourselves. We mostly go on live music nights but…read moretonight we went for the trivia. Food is always good and sometime exceptional! Honestly for bar food a solid 4.5. The staff is on it especially when you sit at the bar. They have fun and usually very good specials. The blue cheese smash burger is out of this world. We constantly get the poutine and it's as good as any poutine I've ever had. The gravy has great flavor and the cheese is amazing. I've never had a bad meal and it's our favorite local chill place. Laid back and easy. It's definitely not a frills place but you always feel welcome especially when they get to know you!

We finished half the chips before we ran out of salsa and it was $2.50 for a small salsa refill. Won't be getting these again. I had the throwback taco and the pork carnitas taco. The throwback was beef and it was okay. Not a lot of flavor but decent. The pork carnitas was very good and I will be getting it again. My husband got the same two items in bowls and he enjoyed them. The ambiance is okayish. All high tops inside and the seating was not comfortable at all. My legs really hurt by the end of the meal. I've never commented on seating before on any of my posts so just know that's how much I felt they were hard on the body. Service was fast but I don't like that you have to order on the app or go to the bar. It's very impersonal but is what it is I guess. Over all we spent $90+ on 4 tacos 3 drinks and chips and salsa. That's a bit high imo for what you get.

This was a bit out of the way to get to and probably would not be my choice to come back.

While the crust was good, the overall balance wasn't quite what I personally look for in a classic margarita. It leaned heavier on the cheese, and I tend to prefer a version where the sauce plays a more prominent role, with lighter amounts of fresh mozzarella and basil added just before serving. That said, this is still a solid spot for grabbing a beer, and the bar food is generally very consistent. I'll definitely be back, especially for the wings.

Our window seat gave us a great view of the lower square in Downtown Dover and we had plenty of tv screens if we wanted to watch! Nice pub atmosphere. Pete's fish tacos looked great and my Caesar salad with Cajun shrimp was nice. My one complaint about the taste of the salad was that it came across as too salty. Our waitress was kind enough to bring me a different dressing which helped tone it down. Kudos for the shrimp not having their tails! All in all a decent meal.

This time it was burnt. The meat was dry as dust. When the server saw me throw my napkin on my plate she came over and asked if we wanted another drink. I got the check and debated how long we should wait for her to come back for the credit card. I put cash on the table and left. Some things are hit or miss. Tonight this was a miss.

Burger: I went with the Beast Mode, which comes with two patties, cheese, double bacon, "Hop sauce," crispy onions, pickles, and maybe more. Can't really specify temp, so the patties a bit dry, but well-seasoned and really good beef flavor. I liked the creamy, zingy sauce. But that bacon! Flavorwise, among the best bacon I've ever had. Texturewise, I really liked the thickness and pliability, but this came at the expense of some crispness. I'll take that trade but same may not. I also really liked the bun, which is a seeded briochy model that's less dense than what I've had previously at Tuckaway. Overall, very good burger. Gimme some juiciness and it's a great burger. Fries: They come standard with the burgers and chicken. A small order, but enough to get by and nicely done. Many fries options with various add-ons. You can also get onion strings, even though they're not on the menu. Shake: I went with chocolate. Not as fudgy as some I've had, but tasted very natural, with the milk flavor coming through, no shortage of chocolate, and a consistently that's thick but very drinkable. Good accompaniment to the burger. Chicken Tenders: I split a trio that came with fries and choice of sauce. These were huge and flattened, kinda like a chicken parm. Very crisp, well-seasoned, and juicy in spots, not-so-juicy in other spots. Good flavor on its own and in tandem with our hot honey (generous cup), dry rub (ditto), and both. Friendly staff throughout. Looking forward to coming back.
