I'd highly recommend the chicken pita-every component had unique spices or flavor. The homemade fries were delicious. The cheesecake, made in-house was a little heavy and lacked peanut butter flavor.

Our friends got the fish & chips and they loved it. The batter looked very crispy and our fries were on point. Megan served us and she was very friendly and attentive. They've made upgrades to their menu and I think that their food options are getting better each time we return. We've also tried their Som Burger which is tasty and their Birria Tacos -- good but could use a little more seasoning. Overall, we love The Som and highly recommend them!

The Beer Tent is a dive bar and it is generally filled with the same folks most nights. Each time I went, I was served by the same guy: younger feller with ginger hair. I forgot his name, but he was totally fine with me calling him "Seamus" whenever I came in. The counter top of the bar has hundreds of bottle caps under a clear layer of resin. It's quite impressive. Drinks are cheap and some of the locals are rowdy. The weekend karaoke was always fun and we never had too long for another turn at the mic. If I ever visit Burlington again, I'll most likely stop in at the Beer Tent to get some shots and chase 'em with a few beers.

I had been talking this place up to our team to let them know it was good food. This year was different, we had 2 hours between games so we thought we would go and order a pizza. We arrived at 5:30 and got our order in at the bar. Sitting and waiting, the bartender never checked on us or our drinks. 6:20, still no pizza. Finally a different bartender comes to check on us and we ask can you find out about our pizza? He comes out and brings the pizza and it's ice cold, he said it's been sitting back there for some time and no one ever brought it out. Now we have no time to wait for another pizza. He apologized even though he was not the bartender who took the order. Then the original bartender comes back over and fails to see the problem and never once apologizes. Just said he got busy. I get it, it happens. But they just left a pizza sit back there for 40 minutes and never thought hey someone might want that? The bartender could not understand why we were upset. And he was so defensive. I told the other guy I understand mistakes can happen but for him not to own up to it and be so rude to me after his mistake. I thought it was unacceptable. I had never felt so disrespected at a restaurant in my life. It really ruined the night, especially since we were looking forward to this for so long. Extremely dissapointed and it really did ruin the weekend. Hopefully this bartender can get it figured out and not be so rude to his next guests.

I dont think it was too bad as he didnt mention anything after that. Price wise, you are looking at $12 to 20+ for lunch depending on what you are looking for. The drake specializes in bbq type items, and they used to have duck and similar game-type items which is where i think the name of the restaurant came from. When you go by there is usually a smokey smell coming out. I got the chicken hoagie that has buffalo chicken and peppers, onions etc. I probably would have gone for a burger but didnt see a lot of options other than the angus which seemed pretty high. I went with baked beans and blue cheese dressing. The wait for the food seems normal for a sit down place. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. The blue cheese dressing was the bomb. Big chunks of cheese, which couldnt have been out of a bottle thats for sure. Beans were good and sandwich was fresh and good. The only thing i would critique is the chicken could have been a little crispier, but when the chicken is in buffalo sauce, that is going to reduce the crispiness automatically so kind of the nature of the beast. The waitress did a good job of getting us the bill and taken care of there. If they could maybe get the price down a little and incorporate some more burger options, that might be a way to pump up business a little more. Didnt use the bathroom but based on overall cleanliness I saw, I bet they were fine.
