Forman's Tavern

A few days ago, I went to Forman's Tavern.  The last time I was in this building, it was Lucy's 51 and looked completely different on the inside and out. There is some seating out front, perfect for our great LA weather (as I am posting this it is raining out, but you know what I mean).  You walk in and there is a large community table in the middle, small tables off to the left and to the right there is a beautiful bar with plenty of seating (and hooks for a ladies purse, I love it when they do that!) and there are seats at the front windows.  I love the decor, simple, rustic, clean, fun!  There are Steins on the ceiling and here and there, they are going with the Tavern theme, but it doesn't seem overdone at all.

The selection of spirits is impressive.  So is the beer selection, there is something for everyone! 

Enough of the decor and drinks, let's talk about the food already!  I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich.  I have had many chicken sandwiches, this one was pretty damn good!  Sometimes the chicken is dry and cardboard-like, SO NOT IN THIS CASE!  The Chicken was moist and the batter on it is super crispy and deeeeeelish!  There is a dill pickle and the slaw, yyyyyyeah man!  There is something in the slaw that adds a spice and a zip every once in a while.  I can't pick what it was, if it was jalapeño in the slaw or red pepper flakes in the pickles, I don't know what it is! I need to have it again to see what it is!!  I also had fries on the side.  The fries were great!  They were double fried and then dusted with a seasoned salt.  They were great.  But, call me cheap, but paying $14 for a chicken sandwich and then you have to pay an extra $4 for a side of fries?  I'm not down with that.  The ketchup wasn't even doctored up or home made.  

In conclusion, I will be going back to Forman's, for sure.  I won't be ordering any extra fries, but I will be going back to try something new!  Cheers!
