re: Blackened Brew in Hammond: my review page 13

So tried Blackened Brew and Iron Horse yesterday, and they were night and day difference.

I'll start with Blackened Brew. The positives: inside was really nice looking and a lot of seating, the wings and fried pickles were both pretty good. We were a table of 5 and not one order came out correctly. It took us 20 minutes to get water, one guy had to order his Bloody Mary 3 times before she finally put it in the system, and the two of us who got burgers had them both severely over cooked. I tried to order both of the Tin Roofs on tap and both were out, which is fine, but the waitress decided to bring me out a random beer which was some dark stout, totally different from the two beers I originally wanted. It might be petty, but for a place that prides itself on beer the staff should know the difference between the types of beer they serve. Wasn't a good experience.

Iron Horse on the other hand was a great time. The inside was really cool with the score ticker and at least 20+ TVs. Place was pretty packed and our waitress did great job of getting us in and out in about 45 minutes. We tried the duck quesadilla and Cuban sandwich. I really liked the quesadilla and the mango salsa that came with it. The Cuban was okay, not the best, but still pretty good (the pork was actually really good). Needless to say I would go back again, especially for March Madness or some other big sporting day.
