The thing I like most about Brew-Bacher’s is how much room there is inside. Most sandwich shops have booths and tables stacked almost on top of each other. Here you don’t have to worry about bumping into anyone on your way to the counter to place or pick up your order, and you can just step back and look over the menu board to see what you want that day.
These guys are solid and they have all the sandwiches, all the burgers, and all the poboys you could want to choose from, along with a few standard plate lunches and all kinds of sides including fried mushrooms, fried pickles, and fried okra. They also have Barq’s in the bottle which goes a long way with me. I didn’t really know what I wanted when I walked in, but it only took a minute or two to figure out I was ready for a mushroom Swiss burger. They nailed it, and the fries were hot and crisp and I definitely ate too many of them.
Their menu definitely reminds me of one I was playing around with a while back. I’ve been thinking about the Big Dog Saloon for a long time. Just a day dream that goes away quick as soon as I even start to think about financing it. But I’m pretty sure it would be a fun place.
This most recent trip to Brew-Bacher’s, there were eight or ten State Police offers at a big table. And that is another advantage of this place. Get there early enough and you can put together a large table and since it’s counter service, you don’t have to deal with a server trying to get your order right. If you are all going to do separate checks anyway, why not go somewhere with counter service? I also like the food art on the walls. Good food, good atmosphere, plenty of room, and great fries.
