The Moon Saloon

We’ve driven by so many time and never stopped? I’m now asking myself why. We’ve been to all other spots near it. I Assumed it was more of a bar than restaurant because from out front it looks so small compared to all the places around it and well it says saloon Ha. Yeah, yeah o should’ve done by Yelp research. I’ll be better; scouts honor. We had a hard time finding somewhere to park. Area is packed, but we finally found one and went inside. It was actually so nice onside. Full bar, booths as well as high tops. Sears were comfy. Our waitress came over quickly, was so friendly and took our drink order. I was instantly bummed when I was told they carry no sour beers on tap or canned. Next I asked about ciders which is my close second. I was then told they only offer Angry Orchard in a bottle so I settled. Bummer. We ordered a different beer on tap as well and she gave us some time to look over the menu. I knew fairly quick I’d have the Chicago dog. I had been craving one and hadn’t had one in forever. I opted for side salad instead of fries. I’m glad I did and I’ll explain later. My husband ordered an Italian beef with fries. Our drinks came out soon with some ice water as well. They were fairly busy but we still had our food pretty quick. Everything looked delicious except the fries. At first I thought they were sweet potato fries but nope they just were maybe cooked in old oil? I dont know, but they weren’t very good according to my husband. I agree as I tried one. The sandwich, hot dog and salad were delicious. Lettuce crispy, toppings good and my Chicago dog so many toppings. Yum. I asked for another angry orchard and she unfortunately came back to let me know it was the last one. Our server stated not many people order it so they don’t carry a huge stock. That stinks for those of us who hate typically beer or expensive mixed drinks. I wish they’d at least add a sour or something on tap because I’d really like to come here more often. I’d come again.

First time there on a Saturday at 11. Clean place, 2 people at the bar. No tables when we walked in. Lyndsay our server was prompt with a smile. She took our order and our food came out quick. My swiss mushroom burger was average. Cooked to order, on a decent bun that held together. . Onion rings were good. Friends scramble was good. Average in size. The gravy was pretty good. Good peppery flavor. We will be back to try something else off the menu.

The Moon Saloon is clearly well run. It’s exceptionally clean, the pizza (!) is fantastic, and the service was excellent. Exceeded all expectations for a neighborhood bar. Rylee and Alexis are personable and a JOY to be around - even after I broke a glass.
