Now the bar is very bar-ish. Dimly lit. A movie about drunk guys was playing on the bar TV (pretty funny one) Long horse shoe type bar. Plenty of seating. High topped tables , dart boards, two billiard tables/ keno machine... you get the idea.. I liked the spot. Decided to stay. We look at the menu. (You can too with this link! http://www.jordansdeli.com/pages/pubmenu.htm) Lots of great things so we ask for guidance from the bar tender. She likes it all, but tries to be helpful. I went with her suggestion of meatball su/pasta salad (the special) and the hubby went with the D6: "whats for lunch". (Corn beef, pastrami, swiss, lettuce, tomato on rye). Total: 15.75 Let me tell ya: that meatball sub was huge. Just HUGE. My hubby eyed it as I was eating it. Im convinced that even tho he liked his sammy, he secretly wished he had ordered mine. I clearly ordered wisely. Ha! It had a nice proportion of provolone and sauce. There was a tad more salt that I liked but its a bar.... They want you to keep drinking. But back to the size of it.... Did I say it was enormous??? It sure was!!!! Could have been split and shared--- but this little Miss Piggy scarfed it down all by myself. Yum. Will be back.

Meatball sub special, pasta salad included.

There's a part time DJ with an unhealthy affection for Rush, but the music is generally pretty good. Play shuffleboard with the Lowe-cals, they're a great group!

On my last visit I struck up a great conversation with the bar keep. Good folks! Come to think of it, they're all very good.

That wasn't really the case here. I saw they served food and planned to grab lunch. I was the only customer, which might deter some people, but that doesn't usually bother me. I grabbed a seat, ordered a beer, and started with an appetizer. The bartender, Amy, was fantastic- kind, friendly, and on top of everything. Truly no complaints there. You can tell she's doing the best with what she has. The beer tasted a bit off. It was not the end of the world, but it did make me wonder if the lines are cleaned regularly or if that particular beer just doesn't get ordered often. The main issue for me was the food. I ordered the $9 mozzarella sticks, and they were clearly microwaved. Literally the kind you'd get from a grocery store freezer aisle. Somehow they were both mushy and overcooked at the same time. The marinara wasn't great either, so I switched to ranch just to get through them. I'm glad I stopped at an appetizer and didn't commit to a full meal. Honestly, the vibe could work if the place leaned into what it actually is. If the food isn't going to be a focus, it might be better not to offer it at all. I'd consider coming back for a drink, especially if Amy is working, but I wouldn't return for the food.

My husband finally asked her, while she was washing glasses down from us, if their mushrooms were fresh or canned (they are canned which I prefer.) But that question prompted her to ask if we were ready to order? Um yes. Our menus have been closed and our drinks are half gone. We are politely waiting for you. When the pizza arrived it looked fantastic but the crust was chewey and just off. The topping were fantastic we loved the sauce, pepperoni and canned mushrooms. I couldnt put my finger on what was wrong with the crust. It looked golden brown on the bottom but it was just off. My husband ate it and was happy. I was the only one questioning the crust. I think she checked on us once in passing. I know I asked for a refill for my empty glass of water. I set my credit card in front of me, pretty close to me ,- not pushed toward the bar tender. My goal was to signal "check please". She reached over and took the card without saying a word and ran it. Thankfully she gave us the bill with the slip to sign. We were billed correctly. I Signed the slip and we finally left to fix our plumbing issue at home.
