Went here with my boyfriend and his daughter because his co-workers raved about it...Either we cam on a bad night or their tastes in food is whack. Anyway, was so excited when my boyfriend said they had these awesome (sounding) Grilled Cheese sandwiches. I chose the bacon and pear. My boyfriend got a burger and so did his daughter. We also the the app with all the diff fried veggies. For drinks I got an Angry Orchard cider (wanted a heff but server said they don't have any... really??) My boyfriend go some other cider thing. and then since it was Sunday and their Bloody Mary's were $5, I decided to have one of those too (it was a rough day).\n\nSo let's start with the app. Most of the veggies and cheese curds were pretty good (pickles, green beans, not sure about the Okra because I don't like it, but the BF and his daughter ate 'em. The corn fritter things tasted like corn and raw pancake batter on the inside. Some of the smaller cheese curds were like rubber. The spicy aoli was good, the taziki was whack. It was not smooth with chunks of cucumber or just smooth is was like they put the cukes in a food processor and threw them in a cup. It was just weird.\n\nThe cider was good and so was the ale/cider thing my bf got. the Bloody Mary was horrible. Mix was thin and watery (f it was a mix) didn't have that \"zing\" to it, just blech.\n\nThe Food. The server said they cook their burgers \"pink\" in the middle and that is how he likes them. Nope, well done. Secondly, his buns were BLACK like completely burnt. Who lets that get out of the kitchen, huh? They do. His daughters was very dark too, but she was hungry so she just ate it that way, he asked for diff buns. My grilled cheese. First off, it was toasted bread. Not yummy, buttery, crispy, crunchy deliciousness you expect from a grilled cheese. No oozing cheese (supposed to have Brie, Blue Cheese and Cheddar) no brie, no blue. I asked the manager(?) when he brought out my bf's plate with new buns and asked him about the cheese conundrum. I opened the sandwich and told him to look. He says, \"there is a some blue cheese right there (it was the size of the tip of pencil lead). He also told me that they don't put a lot of brie or blue because they are very strong and pungent cheeses. Brie is strong and pungent??? And yes, blue is and I love it, so I want the flavors come out in the sandwich. That grilled cheese was $9.00! I was very very dissapointed. I make WAY better grilled cheese and it doesn't cost me $9.00. The waffle cut fries were gross but I DID love their sweet potato fries, and they did taste homemade. Service was great! The bill was almost $70.00 for that crap, never again. Even his daughter said she didn't want to come back and she isn't a food snob like my bf and I. Sorry Spokes on Southern, looks like you gotta flat.
