Honestly, last night had some catharsis to it. Little Pub is one of these places where I've been…read moreby it a lot. Probably like a thousand times. I've walked by their parking lots and had to navigate my way past cars coming to eat here. And then there's a few times where I had ordered from this place on UberEats. It would be their pulled pork Mac and cheese I would get delivered 3 miles up the road to where I work, and I thoroughly enjoyed it every time I've had it.
Last night, I had finally come here in person.
After an in-service function at my job, me and my best friend from work went here for dinner. Honestly, it was a much needed night. I will say that parking for the dinner rush is pure hell. If you do manage to find a good parking spot during dinner rush, go buy a lottery ticket. But once we did find a space to park (the downpour from earlier made me have to both channel my inner Olympic gymnast and wish I could levitate so that I could miss the rain puddle where I was to get out), it wasn't too bad to get in. You have a little Photo Booth before you even get into the restaurant proper which we saw a kid using upon our arrival. The interior is definitely reminiscent of rustic British atmospheres. Not like being transported back to the medieval times so much as going to an old town British bar where you might either drink 80 beers with a group of vikings or end up as part of the chaos during Gaston's song sequence from Beauty and the Beast.
It took a moment to decide what we wanted, but we were seated right away since we were just two people. I decided to start myself off with "The Jasmine Blossom", which has a Japanese gin base. Ever tried drinking a flower? Ever thought that that flavor tasted good? That's what I got from this drink. As for food, my friend had the Buttermilk Ranch Crunch Wrap, opting for sweet potato fries for a side, and my order was the hot honey chicken sandwich with the regular fries. I wanted to do something different from what I had previously had delivered this time around. I would say we both enjoyed our meals, but I do definitely think while my fries did have a good crisp to it, the sweet potato fries were the better fry. As described by my friend, the Crunch Wrap she had was sweet. Not in a sickening way, but sweet in how a way that makes a crunch wrap tasty. As for my sandwich, it looked like a burger at first. That was until I took a closer look at it and saw that this was indeed chicken. I dislocated my jaw and took my first bite. The hot honey made the overall sandwich sweet. Not sickeningly sweet, but the kind of sweet that makes a hot honey chicken sandwich tasty. I will say that the bottom of my sandwich struggled to hold its contents. It flopped in the middle, and it was a lot of work trying to hold it together to finish. The chicken was indeed juicy, and probably contributed to why the bottom struggled to keep itself together. But DAMN was it good!
The prices honestly weren't bad either. For what I had, it came out to $33.32 which might seem like a lot until you realize it was both the sandwich and the cocktail on my tab. And no, I did not make that total up! That's what it showed on my tab. Speaking of, I do like the nice touch of getting post cards and a "Little Pub" sticker given to us on our tabs. Mine had Godzilla on it. They were pretty funny like that. We were in and out in maybe a slight bit over an hour, which honestly isn't bad given everything typed in this review.
I'd definitely get food from here again, but maybe next time I try it I'd do well to wait for a time not so busy to come.
