asked for an extra, the beer barbecue. All three were fantastic but I liked the sweet hot mustard the best, but I do have a weakness for Asian so that might explain it. We also tried small orders of the sea salt fries ($3) and the pub tots ($3). The fries were served just like I like my men; big and cut thick, like steak fries. The tots were delicious as well! Since we are gluttons for punishment, we decided to also try the Black Forrest Villager ($11) and the Underdog's Dog ($8) and for good measure, the chef sent out a Cluck You, Henny! ($8) for us to gorge ourselves on. The Black Forrest Villager is a mouthwatering char-grilled burger topped with bacon bits, ham, melted bleu cheese, and
topped with sautéed mushrooms and onions and a bleu cheese ranch aioli. It's a heart stopper, and my fellow diner Anthony commented “This is definitely a contender for best burger on the drive!” The Underdog's Dog is a foot long ½ pound all beef wiener just like you might find on Coney Island. It's topped with Cony Island sauce (beanless chili) and served with a pair of pickles. Who can resist a foot long wiener? Anthony and I split it and it surely filled us both all the way up! The Cluck You, Henny! is a chicken breast sandwich topped with homemade guacamole, jalapeño and corn salsa, and roasted tomatoes. Just like the tenders I mentioned above, you can have the chicken panko battered and fried or you can choose grilled chicken. Either way, if you are in the mood for chicken, this is the way to go. Co-owner Greg Phelps (according to him, no relation to Michael) stopped by the table to check on us and told us that the management team is very happy with the menu and they are still working out the kinks but things are going great. The kitchen is open till 1 am, and during the high season, they may consider staying open till later just to provide one more option to those looking for a late night bite on the drive.
Stop in Village Pub and try their new Pub Grub, and make sure to tell them Hotspots! sent ya.
