Had great service tonight. Waiter gave my indecisive wife multiple samples. We split the lamb burger and banh mi. The lamb burger is excellent, the bahn mi’s sodium content was off the charts and super gross. They can’t all be zingers! Still love this place, check it out!
food was on point, service is 1 star.
Positives - food & decor
Negatives - service which is non-existent, for the price you should get more, the hostess just says here is your menu, your table is over there. No signage that says you're on your own the minute you walk thru the door.
Lesson - 85% recommend means, not worth trying.
Cannot say enough good things about Rare Bird. The beer selection is great, and they even have an impressive NA selection, too!! Burgers, black bean burgers, impossible burgers. This place has it all. And our kids are EVERYTHING.
Thanks for a great dinner while we visited TC.

The atmosphere is industrial with stories about the handcrafted tables and the owners' passion for brewing. The space is large and lively, often bustling with activity, making it a fun and welcoming place.
