My husband and I visited Pub 56 for the first time after a trip to the Aurora Outlet Mall. Since it was suggested based on location, we decided to give it a try. Upon entering, the dining room had a nice ambiance, and we were immediately seated at a booth. I started with a Blue Moon. For an appetizer, we shared the traditional single-size buffalo wings ($9), which were excellent. They had prominent grill marks, giving them a delicious smoky flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the Reuben sandwich ($13.50), but it was underwhelming. There was barely any corned beef between the bread, and it was a bit dry. I wouldn't order it again. However, I upgraded my side to the broccoli cheddar soup ($2.50), which was the right choice. It was thick, creamy, and exactly the texture I love in a soup. My husband ordered the beef brisket ($16.50), but our waitress mistakenly put it in as the Smoked Brisket Melt ($13). Since he doesn't eat bread, this was a big disappointment. There wasn't enough meat inside to make it worth keeping, so he had to wait a bit before he could inform the waitress of the mistake. She corrected it and apologized, and once my husband received the right dish, he enjoyed the brisket's flavor, but he still thought it was a bit small. He also ordered a Caesar salad as his side, which he liked. Service was a downside to our experience. Our waitress seemed to be having a bad day--she wasn't very friendly, and it took a long time for her to check on us, despite the restaurant being nearly empty. The only time she seemed more engaged was after realizing her mistake with my husband's order. Additionally, it appeared she was sick, as she was coughing throughout our visit, which was concerning. Overall, our experience was decent, but nothing exceptional. The food had some highlights, but given the service and some of the inconsistencies, Pub 56 wouldn't be my first choice for a return visit. read more
