It was Saturday night and we decided to check out a holiday light show in Findlay Township, so on the way out there we stopped off for dinner at Bocktown Beer and Grill in Robinson Township. Bocktown is located in the midst of strip mall-mania at The Pointe at Robinson.
Our car and about three thousand other cars were navigating our way through the labyrinth of shopping malls and strip malls in Robinson. We finally got to Bocktown, across the parking lot from the Target, and were greeted with a very warm pub-ish atmosphere. We were seated in a quasi-private backroom off of the main bar area, because the host probably thought we looked old and not in the mood for fun.
For an appetizer, we got an order of beer cheese dip, hoping to try and re-create the magic of the now-closed Ziggy's Beer Cheese Soup. The dip was fair and came with some soft and hard pretzels for dipping purposes.
My dinner was the Geno Burger, which was a take on a burger crossed with a Rueben (the namesake being for Geno Malkin). It was a burger with coleslaw and Russian dressing on marbled rye, then toasted. It came with some fresh cut fries.
DB~ chose the Crab Roll and fresh cut fries. Her crab roll was creamy and pretty middle of the road.
Overall, we liked the place. It's kind of like a Sharp Edge, but the food quality isn't as good and the beer selection not as deep. But other than that, it's just like it. It's a good place to grab a beer and a sandwich if you happen to be in the area, but probably not worth going out of your way for.
