    Nachos
    Charlie T.

    A solid place to get some quick food when in The Zipper. They have some really tasty nachos that are packed of goodies. I liked that I could order an item from them and then other items from the surrounding area.

    Carnitas Burrito

    Excellent service and generous sized burrito. Love this restaurant and cooperative seating area. My family were able to get their faves and eat together!

    These tacos are SO GOOD! I got the pollo hellarito, side of fries (to taste them on they're own and there like beer battered and really good!), side of beans and rice, a side of esquite and quesabirria tacos with consommé. I think everything tasted really good and the chicken in the burrito was marinated, seasoned and delicious! Not just poached and plain tasting. Some of the plates come with a few of their homemade chips and those are seriously some of the best tasting chips I've ever had! The side of rice and beans didn't have much flavor. The esquite was really good I just didn't like that everything was sitting in like a liquid. I Just didn't like the thought of liquid mayo lol but I definitely recommend trying this place. It's kind of confusing to find but it's inside The Zipper next to Basilisk. Parking is limited!

    I hate to be a hater but I'm not impressed with the burrito I got. The meat was mid with no flavor. It also tasted like it had American cheese in it. It also came with 12 small chips. ( yes I counted!) the chips were good but next time I'll try the tacos. I spent $17 total on one item

    I'm one of those who initially winces at the thought of a non-Mexican owned taco business. It's not because of the debatable topic of "cultural appropriation", but rather because the taste often doesn't measure up and price points tend to be high. So I'm not a big fan of Tacovore, Stella Taco, The Taco Pedaler, Por Que No, etc. Well, the prices here are higher than at Mexican-owner hole-in-wall places, BUT the taste is a rockin! The carnitas were the perfect blend of spice, char, and juiciness. The tortillas are one of the best in town (Matt's Tacos also come to mind.) Your taco is complemented by some much better than average chips and garnish and is served on an aesthetically pleasing platter. It makes the higher price points palatable and a better deal than the aforementioned overrated competition. The Keto bowl rocked, it's a definite reorder. Service was friendly, but please tell the kid not to stare after spinning the pay pad (anticipating a tip.)

    Awful food, awful service, awful atmosphere, etc. I won't be returning. Taco Bell would be a safer bet.

Special shout out to the kitchen staff for big multitasking energy: watching the game, closing out the place, and firing out some amazing food. Wilder's near-close happy hour offerings were both tasty and generous. Cocktails featured offerings from local distillers that yielded complex flavors but nothing that was "trying too hard" to be artisanal. Also Made my date's night that they were using polenta as a bun.

    Fiance and I decided to celebrate our 8 year anniversary at Wilder because we saw Steak Tartare on…read moretheir menu and knew we had to come try it! We walked in at about 6:30pm on a Wednesday night and was kind of greeted by one of the servers. She wasn't too friendly and seemed to be irritated that we said we'd wait for a table as opposed to sitting at the bar. Once seated, that same server came over to try to take our orders and once again seemed irritated that we weren't ready to order. Luckily, another server took over from there and we had a pleasant anniversary meal the rest of the time! Here's everything we tried: Devilish Eggs - This came with 4 deviled eggs and was just okay. The crispy bacon pieces was the best part of this dish! Steak Tartare - This was the main reason we chose this restaurant and we were definitely not disappointed! We spent our first anniversary together in Europe and had so much tartare and this really brought back some wonderful memories for us. The tartare was rich and mustardy, beef flavor was great, and it sort of just melted in your mouth. The crispy chips paired well with the tartare and I can't wait to come back and have this again! Mussels - This was a big bowl of mussels in a white wine garlic sauce with toasted baguettes. Mussels tasted fresh and garlicky with just a bit of funk from whatever cheese they grated on top. The toasted baguettes were so good dipped into that white wine broth. I wish this dish came with skinny fries but it was also so good as is. Would definitely order this again! Field Greens - I asked for this to come out with my meal but it came out about 10 minutes before the entrees came out. It was very light and refreshing. I saved half to have with my meal but most of it was wilted already by the time our mains came out. But it's okay! The fried chicken actually had a small portion of this salad on its plate. I wouldn't have ordered this had I known, so next time will skip the side salad altogether! Fried chicken - I really wanted to like this dish but alas, fried chicken breast is very hard to make juicy. I definitely prefer dark meat because that's harder to mess up. My partner enjoyed it but he doesn't mind dry chicken. The sauces were phenomenal! That mustard sauce was great and the sweet glaze was delicious! The potatoes would have been a lot better if they were smaller to get more of that crust to creamy potato ratio but still okay the way it was. My fiance cleaned this plate up! Brown Butter Cake - This cake was phenomenal! It's hard to mess anything with Brown Butter up so I had really high expectations for this and they certainly did not disappoint. The server was nice enough to throw candles on it since we were celebrating and it really ended our meal on the sweetest note! The restaurant itself is small and cozy. A bit dark and romantic. It really reminded me of the small bistros in France that we frequented while we were out there. We'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu!

I have to admit I was a teeny bit worried when I saw Great Notion's hazy/tart-forward taplist yesterday. But The Soughten--a collab with Breakside, dry hopped with (per the website) "Citra, Amarillo, and Chinook hops along with Euphorics"--was SO SO SO GOOD. One of the driest IPAs I've had in years, and just delicious! Really unique. Instead of a punch-you-in-the-face hops (which I also like), this one had a super complex flavor. As for Great Notion itself, this location is just lovely. Airy, with dangling plants and assorted vintage/antique light fixtures. You order your Matt's BBQ Tacos from a computer kiosk, and then order your drinks from the bar. As always Matt's "The G.O.A.T." taco is the thing to order--yumm. We'll be back.
