Old 26 Bar and Grill

Decided to switch it up from our usual Friday night joint and try Old 26. It was very mediocre at best from food to service. The bartender was the waitress so she was stretched thin so we had to flag her down for anything we needed. The food was a basic fried fish, breading was crispy but fish didn't have much flavor; only potato option is crinkle cut fries and no baked fish. The cook came out and interacted, he was very nice. They just opened about a month ago so they'll hopefully work out some kinks and stay open; this location seems to be a bit cursed!

Cannot wait to go back! Homemade coleslaw - I ordered as a side dish and highly recommend. 😋 Update: The soup chef shared the recipe for the great chicken soup. As his grandmother directed him, for layers of flavors. to include the food the chicken eats, including corn. Absolutely delicious!

The food was great! Same as the service. They are a smaller volume bar, so you can't get a lot of cocktails here, same with beer. It's a small, neighborhood bar & grill. The only reason for the four stars for the atmosphere is that the establishment is very spacious; oddly spacious.

I'm a fan of dive bar burgers...Old 26's Bypass Burger did not disappoint. The selection of beers was limited. When I'm not having a porter or stout, Corona with a lime will work. It was a quiet night. Service was good.
