Okay. Name changed and we were in the area during homecoming, and the wait at Elliot's was too long as we had tickets to DankHouse. We were sat quickly. Our order taken, quickly. But that was about it.Pour your own is nice, it's easy to use, easy to keep track of your tab. Still nice. No funkiness on the beers - so it tastes like the lines are clean!Their beer - a bit barely heavy on the pale ale, but they have a wide range of options (from light ales and lagers to cream ales to imperial stouts) to cover your tastes. I liked they didn't focus exclusively on local and had a nice range. I'll be back to try their other beers, for sure. This time, we opted for apps and split a sandwich. We skipped the Brussels sprouts this time (I liked the aioli). The Buffalo chicken wasn't shredded - it was *creamed* - not a retraction, just an unexpected texture. Not much heat to it, either (to the delight of my date). Not bad. The trash can nachos lived up to their name. They were trash. Overcooked chicken (the sear had blackened them), the mix was not good, and they use pickled jalapeños. It's a pass. The meatball sub we went for because we were going to do the appetizer but wanted a little more. Plus side - those meatballs are not GFS. imperfect. Flavorful. Liked the sauce and the roll. Tots are basic, as expected. Minus side - they were salty as FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. Too damn salty. Excessively salty. And the service. Our server was incredibly friendly, but after ordering we didn't really see her again. We saw a lot of kids walking through (not ordering), nor did they seem very busy. I can chalk up a "bad night because of homecoming" - it's not a knock, but I hope it's not a sign of a downturn in their quality. Until next time!
