I stopped by Pemi Burger Bar on a cold Thursday night. The place wasn't too busy and I sat myself at a high top in the lounge. There are menus and wrapped silverware at each table. The bartender arrived to take my drink order and I quickly placed my food order for the Nachos ($16 plus tax) with Chili (add $4 plus tax) and the Thursday Night Wing Special, got 10 jerk chicken wings ($5 plus tax) and an ice water. The food arrived together to my table in under 10 minutes.
The loaded nachos had lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese sauce, green onions, cilantro, sour cream drizzle, homemade meat & bean chili, on top of warm crispy tortilla chips. The deep fried chicken wings with jelly rub were tender, most wings were juicy, served with bleu cheese and a few small pieces carrots & celery.
I finished the wings, which was a dine-in only special and got a box for half of the nachos. The check was presented which was $27.13 with tax and before tip.
Overall, a good relaxed stop for some hot food with prompt service. The lounge started to fill up with customers after I was all set. I will have to stop back on a Monday night for the deeply discounted build your own burgers with hand cut fries, which has been very popular.
One note, the printed menu should be more clear on pricing especially with the loaded nachos which states $16 with choice of proteins. However, on the actual online menu, proteins are an additional charge such as chicken (add $3), chili (add $4), veg chili (add $3), pulled pork (add $5), no protein (subtract $2). read more
