So it was with mild trepidation that I ordered the $26.'n change Prime Rib one Saturday at Zinky's, a Pub in Dalton. Just east of Pittsfield in the Berkshires. Apprehension misplaced. The place nailed me with a perfectly marbled medium rare prime cut. Baked potato and buttered and fresh string Beans. Lot of food, true, but so delicious and a fine slab of beef. I told my wait person it was as good as any I've had in Chicago or NYC -- everywhere. It is a pub. But pub grub this is not. Some sour cream and butter for that tater (NOT undercooked as found so often in today's casual dining world.) For real. For certain. For under $30.

Though they only had four beers on tap when my boyfriend and I stopped in, they were all awesome. The four were: Wobbly Pop, a New England IPA, a Peanut Porter, Thai Wun On, a Belgian Wit with Thai spices and ghost peppers, and Dark Materials Imperial Stout. Since their flight includes five small pours, the bartender gave us the four and let us decide which one we liked best for our fifth pour. The Thai Wun On Belgian Wit was such an interesting beer and had great flavor, and little heat - thankfully! The bartender was really friendly and we enjoyed meeting the brewery cat Fuggle. She's so sweet! Though they don't serve food, they do let you bring your own food in. It's a great craft brewery!

It's everything a true hometown dive should be. Friendly locals who don't make you feel like an outsider, a bartender who actually talks to you like a human, and that easy, lived-in atmosphere that can't be manufactured. The food is exactly what you want here. Comforting, no-frills pub fare that hits the spot without trying too hard. Simple, satisfying, and perfectly in tune with the vibe. This is the kind of place I could see becoming a second home, the kind where you walk in and everyone knows your name, your drink, and maybe a little bit of your story too.

It was all edible, but there were problems with every single thing we ordered. We started with the marinated mushroom & sausage flatbread: one of the better items and fairly tasty with a tomato sauce base, could have used a tart element like a balsamic drizzle to wake it up a bit. My husband got the Korean bbq burger, which at $27 was honestly a bit insane and doubly so when it wasn't good. There's not a single thing that was wrong, the whole conception is an epic fail. A beef burger should not have an intense taste of soy. Sorry, harsh but true. The exorbitant price is insult to injury. The ham and cheese croquettes should never have been offered with the cinnamon sugar dusting. Another bizarre pairing that makes no sense in your mouth and adds nothing. The dijonnaise was good if a bit mild... amp up the savory flavor and put more ham in the mix with a touch more salt please. Finally, the Public Salad was a good base but needs a bit of a vinegar component to make it sing. I'd recommend red wine vinegar, just a small splash in the dressing. Overall enjoyed it and the chicken was adequately moist. Thank you for having us.
