Pretzel
Alicia L.

I have driven past this place 2 billion times and have never stopped in. This rainy, Saturday night me & my date wandered in. There was a very small crowd enjoying the entertainment of a live band. We found a waitress (Liz) who gave us the lay of the land & pointed us to a table. We came for the food but ended up getting a whole experience. This place reminded me of that show Cheers. I felt like everyone knew everyone & we felt welcomed. The food was excellent. Boom, boom, pow shrimp appetizer was really good & so was my fish & chips. The fish was fried 2 perfection & the batter had to be seasoned. Plus, this place was open late. I think they close at 1:00 a.m. I will definitely be back!

I was in the middle of eating my meal and a cockroach ran off my table up my arm so i went and told the manager and he tried to bribe me not to tell anyone after that as i was walking back to the table another cockroach ran out from in under someone else's table

Cristie is the best!!! She is so kind and customer service is fire! Great prices, dope vibe and awesome regulars too. The chef is super kind and food is delicious! Get that Tavern Pretzel! It's amazing!

Boom boom pow shrimp and fried jalapeños.

Had the very best fried boom boom shrimp and jalapeños. We love this tavern and all the folks that work there! Cristie is the absolute best.

Walked here from hotel. Cute inside bar area and music playing. Our server was Christy- very patient and friendly. The blue cheese chips and fried pickles were tasty and we enjoyed. One of our group had the hot dog and said it was really good and the fries were really good. We also tried the Reuben. This was not my favorite- the corn beef was somewhat fatty. We ended with the beignets and they were really yummy. Great selection of beers as well.

Food arrived cold. The lettuce on the salad ($10) was wilted and not eatable, so we threw it away. The chicken on the chicken sandwich ($14) was so overcooked it was like a piece of solid rubber, and I ended up throwing it away. So that left 2 "loaded" baked potatoes which were very small and only included a couple of crumbles of bacon, a small amount of cheese (size of a quarter) and a small container of sour cream (each being $10). Also left on our order were 2 "large" (as ordered) sides of mashed potatoes that were a small circular container in the same footprint as a soda can, just not as tall (each side was $6). This was definitely not a meal worth $73, which was our total with Grubhub+. We won't be ordering from here again.

Mediocre hole in the wall bar food. Nothing special. Server did her best but they were clearly short staffed.

Nice local pub. Lots of activities in the evening like 'regular' bingo. Food was fine but usual pub grub.

This is such a neat little place with a good bar, good service, and good food. Highly recommend stopping in, if you're in the area.

Worst food ever. Service is only for people drinking at the bar. Absolutely no ambiance. Just being honest. Would not eat here again.

I love Barleygarden, but it's FIFA time and it's nooo parking spots. So, I'm alone and trying to…read morefind a spot to run in and pick up my food. The restaurants are all crowded in this area. I don't eat chicken, but I love the buffalo Mac and cheese. I forget to tell them to put the chicken on the side, so I had to pick the chicken out. But besides that, the Mac and cheese is delicious. Next time I come back, I'll dine inside like I always do. :-

SERVICE (3/5): Downstairs service is great! the upstairs bar…read moreis not the best. They always seem overwhelmed and understaffed. The seating upstairs is all seat yourself. You order at the bar, they give you a number to put on your table and try to find you. When it's busy, the servers walk around multiple times and get so frustrated because they can't find the correct tables. And no one busses the tables because it's SO BUSY & not enough staff. FOOD (3/5): Out of all the places at Trilith Live, this is one of the better places to go, excluding ENZO (which is fine dining), this is a bar. The wings have been consistently good. I think their food is hit or miss. $12 KUNG PAO BRUSSELS SPROUTS: this was SO OILY! I could only eat a few bites before stopping. $17 CAESAR SALAD +ADD GRILLED CHICKEN: it's mixed with kale, which I loved! It was good. $13 THE J ARTHUR BURGER: this was good, but messy! It fell apart easily so I ended up eating it with a fork & knife. AMBIANCE (4/5): This is a great place to hangout and have drinks.

We ended up having to wait extra long because the biscuits had gotten burnt and had to be remade. They gave us a complimentary appetizer to make up for it. Their food was so good and their biscuits and gravy was one of the best I had! I would definitely come back to this place! The decor was super nice and cute too!

I ate dinner here with a friend yesterday. The food tasted great but sadly the Curious Pig messed…read moreup just about everything else that goes into one's dining experience. It's always sad to me when this happens, because in my opinion having great food is the hard part. Seeing them excel in that but fail the easy stuff is hard :( What they struck out on: - host and hostess chatting when we walked up, they seemed to be complaining about something. We didn't receive any smiles. Didn't feel like they wanted to be there. Yes I understand it's a job, but warm welcomes are important and they are the first impression for a customer when they walk in. - It was 80 degrees and dreadfully humid outside since it had been raining. They had the doors open and I didn't see or feel any fans or air conditioning running. I saw a patron using a hand fan while we ate. - Since there was no air conditioning running, all the steam from the dishwashing and cooking in the kitchen came out to the dining area and lingered in the air the entire time we ate. We thought it was smoke at first but it didn't have a smell, when we walked out to leave I felt the steam leaving the kitchen area - Unbearably loud. I'm not sure why the acoustics are so bad but there is just nothing absorbing any noise. All the ruckus just echoes. Pretty sure this was mainly due to the tables being somewhat close together and the chairs having no sound buffers. It was suuuper loud when people got up to leave and when bussers were cleaning the tables. - Out of the fried green tomatoes which we were excited to order. - I ran out of water while eating. My drink didn't get filled until maybe 10-15 mins later. - Our waitress was running around, very busy. We didn't get checked on that much. It wasn't her fault. She was very courteous and was working hard. They seemed to not have enough staff on hand. - The napkins shed everywhere? When I opened my napkin a cloud of lint came up from it. It was all over my black shorts when we left. - Ends of the tables were all scratched up. - Decor is a bit of a hodgepodge. Having fake candles at each table for a place that gives southern farmhouse is an interesting choice. - The pimento cheese plate came with only 5 mini pieces of toast. We had to ask for more which was an upcharge. There's no way all the pimento cheese could be eaten on 5 pieces. Their home runs: - The food was amazing. I really liked the steak frites. I ordered the steak medium. It was nice and tender. The fries were seasoned and crispy. The chimichurri sauce was great. My friend and I both liked the pimento cheese and the bread that it came with. We weren't crazy about the house pickles. My friend loved her caesar salad. - The prices are great. Super affordable for high quality food. - Menu is expansive. - We had no wait to be seated. - No trouble parking. Location is convenient. As you can see, the list of cons is very very long. It was truly an odd thing to experience, since the place had such great food. I'm thinking the Curious Pig needs a restaurant management consultant or something? We might try this place again sometime later. We'll see.
