Sidecar *****

I don"t know if I can say anything bad about this place. the owners go out of their way to know you, the food is exceptional, burgers are fantastic, drinks are perfect, wait-staff is always available and polite.....let me think.....kids are welcome and encouraged to have fun....and on the other hand great bar scene late at night.... I know....I would like to see more food on the menu and brunch served. But that isn't a bad thing and it will happen soon, John, the owner tells me. I love this place, great people own it.
Recently, they have been on television for their Buttermilk Fried Chicken - really good stuff. Crunchy on the outside, nice flavored batter, juicy and meaty on the inside. They use free range chicken only and it makes a difference. The sides John serves are just as flavorful as the main dish. If you are lucky you will catch a night he serves Jerk Chicken - spicy and satisfying. I loved the red beans and rice accompanying the chicken.
