March 7, 2017 Jack’s Abby
Jack’s Abby is expanding (after only a year!). We went there a while back to try out their beer hall and kitchen (before they had expanded). The craft brewery, which was founded in 2011, makes only lagers. You can get a growler to go or grab a wood fired pizza, you can even tour the new facility. The restaurant is open and has communal seating with long tables and benches. They don’t take reservations, but we didn’t need one when we ventured in for a weekday lunch.
Their thin crust pizzas are pretty delicious – here is a sample of their menu:
Potato & Bacon $14
Garlic Cream/Cheddar/Scallions
Farmer’s Market with Goat Cheese $14
Tomato/Summer Squash/Zucchini/Eggplant/Fennel/Red Peppers
Clam & Bacon* $15
Fresh Mozzarella/Pecorino/Thyme/Red Pepper Flakes
Prosciutto & Arugula $15
Fresh Mozzarella/Dates/Thyme/Grape Must
BBQ Pork $15
Pineapple/Serrano Chili/Cilantro/Red Onion/Gruyère
The four cheese macaroni and cheese ($10) was thick and creamy, stick to your ribs, comfort food. It had a crumb topping that I wish there were a little more of.
You can’t come to a beer hall and NOT get the house lager pretzel ($5) served with horseradish mustard and beer cheese.
The desserts left me wanting more, they were just eh (the main stars for me were the pizzas). The bread pudding was more bread than pudding in consistency, and a bit overdone for my liking.
I wanted the crisp to be delicious, but it was lacking in flavor – do you really want to waste your calories on something bland?
