    I went back to the dirty truth for the first time in years. I think that the last time I had been…read morethere was when it was still a sister bar to the moan and dove. They have a very well curated selection of beers on tap. I had a Saison Dupont and a Foam collab. They also have food and I got an order of fries with some garlic aioli. Amazing!!! I heard that the chicken sandwich there is very good. I'd like to come back and try it sometime.

The beer selection is the best I've ever seen in terms of quality breweries. Hill Farmstead is on the menu today (four different ones!) and there are so many others! The wine selection is ok. This is a beer place in my view. Food options are limited and all excellent. Some dishes can be made vegan if that's your preference but there's something for everyone and the quality is spot on. Tonight I had a tofu sandwich that was excellent another person had a kale salad and raved about it. There's something to be said for a place that limits itself to things it does perfectly and The Dirty Truth seems to be that kind of place. It also focuses on beer and food that are interesting and of the highest possible quality. IT's affordable and unpretentious and very comfortable for large and small groups alike. I think I'm coming here on every trip to Northampton. It's that good! See for yourself!

I dipped instead of having it on the sandwich. The carolina mustard was my favorite Bbq sauce. They had amazing looking desserts as well.

    Third time's the charm? Nope. Try sixth time's the disappointment…read more I've given Wildwood BBQ about a half-dozen chances now, and I really wanted to like them. It's a small local spot, and I hate bashing those. But at a certain point, you have to call it what it is. Let's be clear: this is a BBQ joint. BBQ is their featured food. Ribs are a signature dish when u call yourself BBQ. So, my expectations weren't sky-high, but they weren't low either. You expect smoke, moisture, some love. I mean you're supposed to make it taste good right? What I got on my last visit? Ribs as dry as sawdust. Not "a little overcooked." I mean crumbly, chewy, sad sawdust. And then there was that flavor - you know the one. That lovely classic refrigerator note. That faint, musty, "I've been sitting in a walk-in cooler for three days too long" taste. Unmistakable. Dropping $40 feeling like you're eating leftovers from someone else's bad cookout is a special kind of frustration. Here's the thing about running a small business: you have to pay attention. To the little things. To the refrigerator flavor. To dry ribs. To the fact that a customer who has come back six times is now writing this review because nobody in charge seems to care. It'll be hard to go back. Not because I'm angry - just tired of spending good money on food the kitchen clearly isn't tasting. Verdict: Great location, nice people at the counter? Maybe. But the food needs a serious wake-up call. And until then, I'm out. I wonder if they will take notice or the owner will just wonder why the business thins out.
