Sweet heat burger with sweet potato fries
Bella B.

This whole restaurant just screams average. The decor is average, food average, cleanliness average. There was only one lady working the whole front of house. You order up at the bar they where out of a few things but nothing major. They give you tiny tiny tinyyyy little glasses for your drink. We started with the garlic bread hedgehog. It was tasted but not something I'd come back here for. I also got the sweet heat burger with sweet fries. Again all very average. The burger didn't have much flavor and the sweet fries where overdone. There's no reason to come here. Go to beer project you'll leave a lot happier

Stopped in on a Thursday evening for a beer and some appetizers. The place is within Whole Foods and was not crowded. Played a couple games of pool before sitting at the bar. The billiard table closed at 7pm to stage a two hour trivia contest. A number of people arrived for the contest filling the bar. Staff was attentive and friendly as we ordered. The atmosphere is very casual and as you might expect first class. They have a nice selection of beer on tap and an ok appetizer menu. Food came out promptly, ordered wings and frings, the wings were ok but small. The frings (fries and onion rings) were good , came with two sauces. I wouldn't hesitate to return and try an entree.

I havent tried a lot of menu items here but I will vouch for their margaritas. They are small but pack a punch. You can expect to pay $10 per drink so I will usually stop for only one when I'm feeling up for it. The bar is clean and modern along with the dining seating. The bartenders have always been friendly. They also write on the menu when the tap lines are cleaned which is pretty nice to know.

When you're hangry but you need to shop. Stop and have a drink and order some food. There's a nice long list of local micro brews and Kombucha from Barrel and Brine on tap. Also they notify you when the tap lines were last cleaned (thank you). Ten days ago/- not bad! Try the Elder Flower rose kombucha! Delish! The menu is pretty broad, lots of veggie options and nice selection of snacks. My salad was good and no Complaints. The restaurant itself is comfortable with fresh flowers on the table (nice touch). There's a pool table and two large TVs showing sports. All in all, the food's kinda expensive but you're at Whole Foods so what do you expect.

Next to, and accessible from, Whole Foods is this cafe/burger joint/ bar. It's large and has all sorts of seating, and a full bar. The menu has some local goods on it, which is great. That partnering will be appreciated by all of us. It's open and bright. Very comfortable and relaxed all around. There were both shoppers and lunchers only when I was here. There is some outside seating here too. A few TVs show games, but on low or mute. No loud radio either. It's a smaller menu which I gather they will be modifying as needed. It isn't the cheapest menu around but it's ok. Weirdly the fireplace was on this 80degree September day. It'll probably make more sense in December. I can see this place being a success. It was busy when I was here and busier the last time when I considered coming in.

Looking forward to my burger

My cheeseburger was served with a couple of thick pickle slices and a mini- mountain of crinkle cut fries. The burger was cooked to medium rare and was almost hot when served. It was very good, although I would have liked it a bit hotter, temperature-wise. This seems like a very nice place to go sit and eat either before or after grocery shopping. My friend purchased food from the hot bar in the grocery section and was welcome to bring it into 1818 to eat it.

Chicken wings (Texas BBQ) are WACK and I'm positive all their wings are similar. Cauliflower tacos were cool , different but the tortillas were cold and diminished the meal. Beer selection is on point. Don't sit by the bar on summer evenings, the giant windows will make you uncomfortable.

Classic burger with sweet potato fries. Looks like it would be good, but unfortunately very dry and flavorless.

We really wanted to like this place but ended up disappointed. We like to stop by Whole Foods every now and then to get a few fun cheeses or desserts so we decided to try Bar 1818. It's an attractive, casual setup with various seating options and even a pool table. You order at the bar and then food is delivered to your table. The one real positive throughout our experience was the service - the cashier helpfully explained a few menu options, and the waitress was very attentive despite it not being a traditional table service setup. Unfortunately that's where the positives end - we ordered two classic burgers with regular fries and sweet potato fries, an app of Buffalo wings, and a chocolate shake. The Buffalo wings and shake were average - not great, but a mediocre version that's at least not actively unpleasant to eat. The burgers were VERY disappointing. They looked good and the buns were high quality, but the burgers themselves were so dry. I don't know if the meat mix is incredibly lean or what, but our burgers were not juicy or flavorful at all despite us ordering them medium rare and rare. Overall led to a really disappointing meal. We might return at some point and try something else on the menu, but honestly there are such numerous food options in the immediate area that we probably won't risk it.

The classic burger...with the addition of cheddar cheese!

Service/atmosphere: sat at the bar.. the bartender was very friendly and attentive. Food and drinks came out quickly. Ordered: cocktail: dirty palmer...very sweet but a nice take on one of my favorite summer drinks! For food: black and blue burger and the classic burger with of course the addition of cheese!...they definitely know how to cook a burger! Perfectly juicy! Also I need to note that I appreciate the size of their burgers...the exact size of a burger I want...not too big yet not too small. Overall: I definitely would come back. It's a nice spot to grab something quick and fresh to eat. ALSO...they have posted when their tap lines have last been cleaned...a very nice touch!!

I had to stop in to pick up from the Amazon Locker, which is really convenient in itself, packages arrive earlier. I was walking out and looked at the menu board and decided "Why not?" I'd always wanted to try this. When I entered I was the only customer, so I walked up to the bar and double checked the menu. I ordered the Black & Blue burger with a side of fries. The fries were a side order, $3.00 but you only live once right? I sat down and looked over the list of local brews then rather quickly my food came. On looks this was a fine burger, over a half inch thick, dressed with fresh greens and the roll was fresh and not flattened. Definitely passed the eye test. The burger was juicy, not greasy and the flavor was great. The meat was very fresh and the Black and Blue were present but not overwhelming. Fries were crisp, not greasy and plentiful. Price was slightly higher than most similar places, but the quality justifies it in my belief. Will definitely return to try other items. The restaurant itself is decorated to be pleasant but not gaudy. First impression was good. Bartender had a great personality and was friendly.

Very impressed with this cute little restaurant! Before a long grocery shopping haul at Whole Foods I decided to stop and grab some dinner and the options are very intriguing. I may plan on spending some summer afternoons here solely for their boozy milkshakes and buffalo cauliflower bites! My first time here I opted for a veggie burger that had a spicy jalapeño mayo, cilantro and cheese- definitely a wonderful blend and highly recommend. My favorite though was the elderflower kombucha- I've never had one so smooth and just delightful. I hear it's a favorite for many! The beer/ drink options are just one reason why i would come back. Did I mention there are vegan options too? :)

Classic burger.

I really like their classic burger. They cook it to order, it's more than large enough for me, and I like the grass fed beef. I also like their roll. Plus, while I enjoy the other sides, you can get a salad instead for the same price. Which is awesome. And it's a good sized salad, too. The burger is nicely seasoned, as well. Simple, but good. Probably my favorite basic burger is lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard or mayo depending on my mood, pickle on the side. But the burger itself has to be good, no matter what's on it, and this one is.

After a walk around Whole Foods Market I ambled into the1818 bar in the front of the store. I am glad I did because they have a decent happy hour. Chicken wings and a draft for $10 sounded like a good price and it filled the bill. Actually there is a happy hour menu that shows various bites from fries and rings to hummus crudites dips. Also wines and or craft beers pick any two for ten dollars. The two wines today were sauvignon blanc and merlot. The beers were many about a dozen or so local draft beers of all types. The order of wings came with a choice of buffalo, soy ginger or honey mustard. I went with buffalo a anchor bar buttery piquant kind of sauce. The wings came out fast and hot and they didn't disappoint. There were about ten pieces of carrots and celery with a dip of which I couldn't tell if was ranch or blue cheese or a mix of both. I didn't have the time to inquire about this dip further but it was suspect at best. I will have to return tomorrow to follow up my investigation. The beer I selected was a bock beer a crisp cold clean dark refreshing dark beer that was satisfying. Service was quick and pleasant the folks at the bar were amicable. I will follow up on the review later. I have to learn more about the dip that accompanied the wings.

Black and Blue Burger :D

I asked my friend to pick a restaurant that was not a national chain. This was the choice. We met…read morefor lunch and caught up reminiscing old times. I know this place was the original home of the Buffalo chicken wing so of course that's what I placed an order for. My friend chose a pizza. Besides the buffalo wings, I also ordered a salad. The salad did come before the chicken wings and the portion size was pretty good. Hard pass on the onions and croutons so the salad had only lettuce, tomato, and cheese. I would've passed on the cheese, but I didn't know it came with it so I just picked it off. Quite a few dressing options and I went with the raspberry vinaigrette. Overall decent salad. Onto the main course, Buffalo wings. You are offered a number of different ways. The wings can be coded with. From hot to very hot sauces to garlic and other ways, I went with the honey barbecue. The sauce was OK there was just an awful lot of it. The wings were very good sized so big credit for that. I did try a piece of the pizza and I would suggest they stick with chicken wings. Super friendly waitress with quick service and good banter.

Stopped in for Lundin (Luch/Dinner) after a pretty hard and heavy morning. I don't know why I've…read morenever been in this location, but just about everything was REALLY GOOD!!! Had the ENORMOUS pretzel of which our party of 8 all took a taste with pretzel left to spare. Other app's were the fried deviled eggs, knockout shrimp, of which they shrimp stole the show with 100% recommended and the eggs with only 50% of the table enjoying. We also had loaded fries, which were ok. All the app's looked great. Happy hour drinks according to my guests, were delicious and generous in size for $5 margarita. Entrees were enjoyed by all! We only had one issue with a steak being sent back because it was not cooked properly. Of which they corrected right away and refired the entire meal WITH sides not just the steak. I ordered the salmon with rice and green beans. It was cooked medium and had a sweet but Blackened taste. The top of the salmon was a bit tough but not so much that it retracted from the taste or texture overall. The sides complimented well. I really enjoyed it. We ordered HUGE triple play burgers...of which even the guys didn't finish , wings, THE PORK CHOP WAS TENDER AND DELICIOUS (Can you tell I wish I ordered that...stole from my guest's plate), Blackened Chicken and shrimp avocado salad. Everything was really good. Had the Carrot Cake for desert and it could easily be enjoyed by three people. Great flavor in a surprisingly wonderful presentation. Service was with a new waitress, but she was kind and did her best. Service was out of order at times. For stance, she left drinks sitting at the bar so long they started to get watered down instead of serving them when she noticed them and taking our order afterwards. But she'll learn as she goes. She has the most important things down...service with a smile. Food came out at a good pace. Allowed us to have great conversation and enjoy the appetizers. Manager delivered the refired steak and stayed to make sure it was cooked to preference before leaving the table. Ambiance was tavern-like. Wood chairs and tables, dim lighting, clean, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Great for small or large groups. We also had no wait at 3:30pm on a Monday afternoon, which I was gratefu, especially for our group size. Check them out. We had a great time. Recommended!
