Photo property of 1787 Brewing
A couple of Saturdays ago, some friends of ours came to visit our 1890's tiny house for a visit. They brought some great goodies and took us to lunch. We all picked the 1787 Brewing Company which just recently opened in Hamburg, PA. Only open from Friday to Sunday, they have a lunch menu that changes every week (and is posted on their instagram - @1787brewingcompany) and a full regular menu. They have a full line of interesting beers (can't tell you anything about them as I don't drink beer) but they don't brew soda yet - although I did beg the waitress a bit to put in a good word for rootbeer!
The service was first rate - we didn't have to wait long for anything and the staff checked in regularly to see how things were going and to see if we needed anything. Even the owner stop by to shake hands and check in! Nice touch.
Now the food - shoe string fries need to be crispy - these were mushy - needed another few minutes in the fryer. That is the only negative I have to say about the food! Gav had a garden burger with all the trimmings and potatoe salad which he enjoyed; J had a crab cake sandwhich which didn't come with all the trimmings but they added them at her request without batting an eyelash; T had the American burger which he said was delicious; and I had the turkey club - it was made with that good Thanksgiving turkey right off the bird, easy on the mayo - perfect!! Every plate looked beautiful and everyone said their food was delicious. Hardy plates because no one ordered dessert and they had some fancy ones on the menu.
There area few tables outside under an awning and you can eat at the bar or in the bar area, but the quietest place to eat is in the dining area toward the back where you can look down into the cellar and see the brewing tanks. It is a very clean restaurant, very friendly staff and really good food. No too expensive either!
I'm looking forward to my parents trying it out - hopefully Gav and I will be able to take them soon!
