Our server was friendly and efficient. Several people got the prime rib and were not disappointed with the taste, although commented that the size of the cut seems to have gotten smaller through the years. I ordered the grilled salmon and it was good. The sides were mostly fried items, so I wish they had a few healthier options. The meals came with salad and garlic toast. The salad was basic and on the small side, but was fresh.

Sluggers is a hole-in-the-wall mid-sixties concrete block type of place (ie not impressive from outside), but they have really good char-burgers, steak sandwiches, Polish sausages--and an excellent selection of draft beers too--Guinness, Fat Tire, Boulevard, Blue Moon, Sam Adams. You can even get a bottle of VT hard cider, damn this place has it covered. A cool place to watch a game or play pool (2 tables) but it does a good lunch bizness and they are freakin friendly too.

My first thoughts were ugh, bar food. But it's better than that! It's delicious. I had the chicken taco salad. It was made with a homemade chipotle tortilla shell. It cooked up just like a regular tortilla and was yummy. I really enjoyed the salad as well. It was HUGE. Sometimes taco salads have like no lettuce and they are a soggy mess, other times they have lots of lettuce but no goodies. This was a nice balance. In addition to fresh lettuce, it had spinach, onions, lots of yummy veggies. I didn't really care for the guac and the salsa is Pace. A homemade salsa would text this up a notch or two! My friend also had a taco salad but she had the beef. Both equally full and delicious. The third person in our party stole the show with his meal. He got a philly and probably the best sweet potato waffle fries I've had. They were large and full of soft mash but with a little crunch on the outside. Sometimes sweet potato fries are small and overdone but these weren't. They were sweet like a funnel cake. They were hot and crispy and you get a ton in your order! Literally perfection. We all shared them. Kim was an awesome server!

The waitress was friendly and prompt to come and get our drink order and to get it brought to us. Then our order was not long after that. A table of 4 and we received our appetizer quick enough and had time ro enjoy it before our order came. We all made sure to get something different so as to try as much of the menu we could. Burger, fries, cauliflower, chicken fried steak sandwich, pork tenderloin sandwich, onion rings, glue fries, drinks and im sure im missing something. Everyone left feeling very satisfied, and loving our choices and what we ate. The place is smaller and I can see once its a packed house it is probably noisy but its to be expected. After all it is a tavern. I will be recommending the place as much as I can and will visit again when I am in town.

Our server Jeff did seem busy, and was pleasant, but never around. He greeted us and took our order quickly. Then someone else dropped off our entrees (app was supposed to come out first which he clarified with us when we ordered). My order was buffalo wings with a side of buffalo sauce, and the wings came naked with a side. I would have asked for these to be taken back and tossed, but was hungry and ate half of them before we could flag down our server--my husband had finished his entire meal of wings by this time. When we were able to flag him down, I asked for more sauce, and our app. He apologized for this, and brought out the (hot) app very soon after. The wings were ok, and would have been much better if sauced. My husband likes his boneless wings just fine. The cheese curds we got were pretty good--more of a breading than crispy fried texture, but the flavor was great. I would come back and give this place another chance, but in the future will just walk back to a kiosk to find an employee if we have any issues, since we had to wait so long to flag down our server (on our own) for assistance.

I had a prime rib dip which was a large portion but I'm pretty sure it was just roast beef. Sweet potato fries rocked. We ordered the Gouda Mac and cheese appetizer. It is definitely an app to share with a few people. It is really rich and you can't eat more than a couple pieces a person. The mule menu is extensive and were well mixed.

We arrived about 9pm and there was a sign that said kitchen closed, after driving all day we were parched and looking for a bite to eat. We asked if it was closed... it was, but they opened the kitchen back up for us! How genuine and kind! We ordered pickle chips, and each got a sandwich and a side, it's worth coming just for the double cheeseburger! It was absolutely huge and totally worth the price, tasted like mom made when I was a kid. Definitely homemade! We had two rounds each, and stayed to chat. We ended up being the last ones in the bar. Our server - Stacey is incredible, very sociable and kind! At the end of the night she bought us a round! The ambiance is your favorite small town bar! A pool table, juke box, casino games and beer signs fill the well lit bar. There were signs that mentioned this bar was for sale and sounds like the owners are looking to retire, I sure hope this bar has a long life, if not with the current owners then with new owners - this is going to be a new staple for us on our way through town!
