It’s the end of the work week in the historic heart of Burlington: Village Square. A large crowd streams into the big and beautiful old house-turned-British pub with the face of famed English novelist Charles Dickens on the side. They’ve come for relaxation, shared laughs, a beverage or two and maybe even dinner. Later there will be live music and dancing.
Stan Mishaud will be there, partly because he’s the co-owner of The Dickens, but also because there’s no place he’d rather be. “I like Fridays, maybe because my whole life I’ve worked every Friday. If I’m not working I’m kind of lost,” he jokes. “I like the after-work crowd. Everybody just seems to be in a good mood. The weekend’s here. We get the happy hour crowd. We get the dinner hour crowd right behind it.”
First off, this place is pretty average. Not great, but certainly not bad.
Service was slow because they don't have enough people working there. The waitresses themselves were great, just way too busy.
We had nachos, which is generally a good 'trial' food for a new pub because it's hard to screw up and there can be quite a bit of variety.
Good:
- lots of toppings
- beef is seasoned perfectly
Bad:
- has gross US-style 'cheese sauce' as well as normal shredded cheese
- chips were overdone (which is easy to do in the deep fryer, apps guy has to pay attention!)
- onions were raw (onions can go on while it's toasted in the giant toaster oven they use, makes them way better)
- lettuce wasn't cut into small enough pieces, so it was a bit awkward.
They have a good selection of import beers, which seems to be standard for Burlington. Beer prices were average for Euro imports.
These are all minor complaints, the biggest problem was just that there were lots of people there and it was slow. People there can be kinda skeezy too, but that was probably just the time we went so can't fault them for that.
Overall, meh, might go back with buddies, but otherwise it's pretty average.
