(2 1/2 stars rounded up to 3)\n\nI've found myself mostly stuck in restaurant mediocrity lately, but that has more to do with the types of restaurants I've been choosing (not me, but the people I've been with) than any particular fault of the establishments themselves. We just all have different preferences and ideas of what we think is good, but enough with stating the obvious.\n\nOnce again, I find myself saying this just really isn't my kind of place, but I could see it appealing to some, particularly if you're looking to go to a place that features live jazz and serves good ol' southern style belly busting meals. I happened to be there at a time when live music wasn't playing, but I've heard good things about the Jazz scene here and the place has the right ambience for it.\n\nI had the Steeltown Sirloin sandwich and it came with a nice side of homemade style potato chips that ensure you get enough carbs with the meal - even if you're eating for 2 - but better to have too much than not enough, right? The sandwich was ok, nothing all that special, and the bun was good (thinking Breadworks?) other than being soggy on the bottom, which didn't bother me all that much but seems worth noting.\n\nThis place certainly isn't outrageously expensive, but it's not cheap either. For the money you're likely to spend here, there are a myriad of other places you could go in the city, so unless you're bent on dining to live jazz (be sure to check ahead on times this is featured) or you want to stay very proximal to AGH for some reason, keep that in mind.\n\nP.S. They do have a decent drink list if you're not dining with a group of puritanical teetotalers. After all, it is a pub.
