Wedgewood
Pub & Grill has been open for five years or so at the end of a strip center
just off of Sawmill Parkway, south
of Powell Road . Neither fancy nor pretentious, it has a pleasant
neighborhood sports bar feel to it. I’ve
been there several times, usually taking my teenage girls there for dinner on a
weeknight. During such times, it is
family friendly and I have never felt uncomfortable bringing the girls here.
As
a bar, the Wedgewood’s menu isn’t very aggressive or imaginative, but it does
offer decent pub food.
On
this visit, my oldest daughter, Molly, and I ordered the Deep Fried Green Beans
($7.00) for an appetizer as we have many times before.
The coating on the beans is nice and crunchy while still retaining the taste of green beans. Each time we have
ordered this appetizer, it has always been served with a ranch
wasabi sauce. Unfortunately, this time
the beans came with a small cup of sour cream – not the same.
Molly
ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap ($7.00), but when it arrived, it didn’t even
have a hint of buffalo sauce. After
bringing this to the server’s attention, she made a comment like “I don’t know
what they’re doing back there” and returned with a small cup of buffalo sauce
in which to dip the sandwich. Again, not
the same as chicken prepared in buffalo sauce.
My
entrée was better. I ordered the Pub
Club ($9.00) which, as one might imagine, consisted of turkey, ham, and bacon
with lettuce and tomato on toasted sourdough bread.
I asked for the beer battered onion rings and
received at least eight large rings. I’m
a sucker for onion rings and the Wedgewood rings are among the best I’ve had in
a while.
The
sour cream and buffalo sauce missteps made for a somewhat frustrating visit
this time, but, generally, the Wedgewood Pub & Grill offers good pub
fare. The service is sometimes
inconsistent, but the staff is always very nice.
UPDATE:
A recent trip back to the Wedgewood Pub & Grill resulted in an experience that was more typical..and pleasant. The deep fried green beans were accompanied by the wasabi ranch sauce also!
