Came here for the $5 happy hour with a friend because it's right down the street from me! We ordered two margaritas, one Cranberry, one pineapple. I also had a mimosa, which was pretty good. Haven't tried the food here yet, but I will update my review when I do!
I'm updating this because after going to Borough Restaurant for a little over a year I can honestly say that my opinion has changed.
I've had almost everything on the menu. From the Fried Calamari (always overcooked and rubbery), to the Catfish Bites (usually slimy and fishy), to the Crabs Cakes (tasty but really small for $10). The only entrees I would recommend are the Penne Vodka and Lobster Ravioli.
That being said, there's an all weekend happy hour which is pretty awesome and the drinks are always strong!
But I mean, this is a restaurant, so you'd kind of want the food to be good.
Picked up a Borough burger, caramelized onions, goat cheese, lettuce, and tomato, and it was tasty. The patty was seasoned and at first I thought it was a lamb burger, but it was beef. Fries were standard and it was a generous portion. Costs about $9, and the kitchen is open late.
Great service!
Nice Food!
Got here about 9:30pm. No one else was here and I was a bit taken aback and hoped it wasn't because of bad food or bad anything … But, I was game as my friend who lives in the area recommended this place.
Nice ambience, with the candles and overhead lighting. I found the music a bit too loud and upbeat but from the look of things, it's a pub first restaurant after. *shrugs*
Immediately Kelsey the Hostess/Waitress/Bartender was at our service. This lady is amazing! Her attitude is contagious because we were tired and very hungry but her spirit awakened us. Too bad some others in the service industry cannot pay this place a visit and "catch" what she has.
Apparently we were their good luck charm because others started coming in after we ordered. Or maybe this is just THE SPOT after a certain hour.
My friend ordered the lamb chop with sautéed spinach and garlic mash potatoes. I got the Atlantic Salmon, string beans and garlic mash (go see my pictures please)
The food tasted heavenly. I tasted the sautéed spinach and it was great 'cept I found it to be a bit salty but two points to consider, I dislike salt (and too much sugar) and this was my first taste of spinach so maybe that's how it's prepared.
The price is worth the 15 minutes give or take wait for the food to come out.
I recommend this spot, tell them Freedom sent you. I don't know these people personally nor do they know me but hey! It's worth a shot right lol
The End.
It's hard to fully comment on a bar when the bar is broken, but I'll try. I came on a weeknight to discover the tap was not working. At all.
That being said, the bartender was really nice and tried to make the bottled beer experience as great as it can be – frosted glasses and friendly service.
Cool layout, looks like a tasty food menu – I'll be back and trust the tap will be overflowing once more.
Burgers were bland. Fries were bland. Chicken strips were pretty good though. I'll try back soon but right now don't get the hype.
This place has really delicious quesadillas. They are huge, inexpensive, and absolutely filled with meat. My bottomless pit stomach can't even finish an entire one. Last summer my boyfriend and I ordered quesadillas from here frequently. Now he lives a block away…we will be here many times.
UPDATE: we went here to eat, instead of our usual takeout. I got a Cobb salad, he got a steak wrap. Both delicious. I even liked the fries, and I hate fries.
I was super excited to see that Borough delivered via Yelp because after a long day of stomping around, we were just too pooped to head back out for dinner. My expectations may have been a little high though, because the fries were kinda soggy and the "crab cake sandwich" I was keen for was disappointing–a fairly dry crab cake. And also deconstructed? Lettuce and tomato hidden underneath the bun and fries, and I didn't discover them until halfway through my dry burger? Maybe it just fell apart within its container? Who can say…
The family all seemed to enjoy their food and hey, it got delivered pretty quickly, so who am I to really complain? It filled the holes in our bellies and next time I'd try a different menu item than the "crab cake sandwich" (let's not lie guys, it was a burger). Don't give up on this delivery option. Maybe I'm just a positive person.
