The Brutal Poodle

When getting out of your car, you are immediately greeted by amazing wall art on the side of the building. Walking in, you are greeted with a maximalist metal themed dining area and polite staff. Our waitress did an amazing job, and was super sweet with the toddler we had brought. The food was absolutely delicious, and the have vegan and gluten free options. The Beyond burger was by far the BEST I’ve EVER had!

Popped in here on a whim for a late lunch. The atmosphere was pleasant and what you would expect for a pub. It was clean and the service was quick and friendly. The food came out at a decent pace and was better than expected. They have a number of interesting menu options that are different than a normal pub and I would definitely be going back to try other items out. The chicken and waffles was delicious and their waffle was made of cornbread. The gruyéred cheese sandwich was far better than I expected with a tomato compote inside the sandwich... and definitely hit the spot. We ordered the tots with green chili as an appetizer and that was a great choice. If you are in the area, I recommend checking them out.

This place is always above and beyond expectations. Amazing food and heartfelt service. Amazing list of drinks, one of the best bloody Mary’s in the city. The food is also incredible, I always look forward to trying something new, and I have yet to find something that I don’t care for. The service is stellar even when they are packed, the staff really takes pride in this place it is easy to tell. Anything with the brisket that they smoke in house is amazing, I’m a huge fan of the brutal noodle, their take on Pho, made with Smokey brisket, noodles and a rich broth that is to die for. Such a unique and delicious take on a Vietnamese classic, amazing. They also make all of their sauces in house, they make a stellar barbecue sauce. The atmosphere is great, they have clean, inviting, and playful interior. Metal is king at this place, I’m not a huge metal fan but I really like it when it’s associated with great food, good drinks and awesome service, this place might make me a metal fan. Great prices for the quality of food. Lots of diet friendly options, vegan, GF, etc.

I stopped in to grab a brutal bite and check out the place. Brutal music on the speakers. Brutal movies on the big screen. Brutal food options on the menu. Brutal "free play" stickers on the Mortal Kombat and NBA games. Brutal merch on display for sale. I got the chicken and jalapeno cornbread waffles with saracha syrup. It was a little more cruchy and darker than I had expected but it wasnt awful. The cornbread waffle was a fun surprise. My friend got a burger and fries. Then added a second order of macaroni and cheese and had hot cheeto dust added to that. We finished the meal with nitrogen ice cream and a round of video games. The pinball and House of the Dead games cost to play but the Mortal Kombat and NBA are free to play. House of the Dead only had one player operational on our visit and they were out of medium and small sizes on one of their hoodies availabe for sale. They couldnt say when the restock would happen.

A typical dive bar vibe with extremely atypical food and service. Quirky poodle art, friendly, fast and attentive service and some of the best pork green chili and brisket I've had! I didn't mind the metal music but it was so loud, we had to almost shout at each other (sit on the patio if you can).
