A Good, Cheap Meal at Brew-Ha's

When we first came down to ISU we checked out what
kind of food they have in uptown Normal.
There is a pizza place, a Mexican place, a place to get individual
calzones. There is even a 24 hour diner,
and a couple of nicer sit-down restaurants.
All of these places are very very good, and they are all great places to
go with friends; however, the one thing that they lack is a really good, cheap
hamburger. Located at 102 S Linden St in Normal Illinois is a bar/restaurant
called, Brew-Has. When we walked into
Brew-Has we were greeted with the cozy feeling of a local bar. There are dart boards, TVs with sports on,
virtual poker machines, and tall tables with barstools at them. Brew-Has has delicious food. When we went we had the cheeseburger and the
pork chop sandwich. They both came with
French fries. A burger basket with fries
was only two dollars, and a two burger basket with fries was only three dollars
and fifty cents. The pork chop sandwich
with fries was also three dollars and fifty cents. All of these baskets also came with a
drink. When the French fries first
landed on our table my mouth started watering, my pulse started to race, and my
pupil’s dilated. The French fries were
seasoned with salt, pepper, and an array of other spices, they were fried to
the perfect crisp, and we could tell that they just came out of the fryer. Placed next to our mound of French fries in
the basket were the sandwiches we ordered.
The burger was a thinner patty on a nice, fresh bun. It had perfectly melted American cheese on it
and lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions on the side. The burger was not
greasy, but it was not dry either. The pork chop sandwich was also an excellent
choice. It was a nice tender piece of meat with the perfect amount of seasoning.
It was cooked to a good point where the meat was not tough. Biting into it was
like slicing butter with a knife. Personally, I am a barbeque sauce kind of
guy, so I put some regular barbeque sauce on it. However, I was also given the
choice of sweet and spicy or honey. Any of the choices would have done the job
if you ask me. Although the barbeque sauce was a nice touch, the sandwich is
good enough where it doesn’t need any extra additions. It can just be eaten
plain and it will still bring pleasure to your taste buds.
Overall, Brew-Has is a
great choice for anyone who is trying to get a good, cheap meal. The restaurant
has a nice comfortable atmosphere, but it’s not too loud like your typical
college bars, it’s got plenty of TVs so you can have your choice of shows, good
service, and most of all, great food. Also, they usually have a special deal
going on aside from their cheap burgers. It’s a great place to get some quality
food and just hang out. Check it out!
