Dressel's Pub

Went to Dressel's for the first time since my nephew became chef, and so I don't have anything to compare it to the ""old"" Dressels', but my husband and I were delighted with the BEST FOOD EVER. I thought it was a bit pricey for a pub, but not so overly priced that I wouldn't go back. There is not a huge menu, but what there is, is very nice. Check out the Sauce magazine review - they did a great piece on it. Anyway, I had the fish and chips and my husband had the burger. Both were DELICIOUS, our food was hot, and serving proportions were decent, too. The atmosphere was very nice and the servers and other staff were very nice and friendly. I definitely suggest stopping in for a bite to eat - and a beer! :) They have a nice looking Sunday brunch, too, by the way. Can't wait to try it. more

I did not think until today that a restaurant could have such a completely horrid stem to stern operations than when we ate for Dining Out for Life this evening. Pros: The best things they could do is close the doors Cons: Horrible food and service more

This place goes back a ways and has a great pub feel to it on the inside, with a good basic pub menu. Also extensive outdoor seating when the weather's nice. Generous portions, friendly staff and a cozy feel. Pros: One of the better CWE pubs Cons: Can fill up inside more

I went to Dressel's last night because I have been there before and wanted to try it again. First of all parking is very hard to find but I expected that because of where they are located. The atmosphere is neat and the people there are very friendly. Normally at places that I have gone to the ""specials"" are resonably priced so me and my boyfriend weren't to concerened about this. They read the specials to you so they are not in a menu and there is no price. When we got the bill his was $14 and mine was $12. The food itself was good but not great. If I'm spending this kind of money I want to walk out saying, "" wow, that was great""! Overall, we had a good experience but I was just a little bothered by the prices. Pros: The place is neat and the people are friendly Cons: The parking is bad and the food is pricey more

Fron the caricatures and portraits of authors and poets lining the walls to the extensive menu of beers and whiskeys, everything about Dressel's says this is a place to get seriously laidback. Food is good, though not the main attraction. Old school bartenders with attitude go a long way towards making the place. more
