Visit date: December 06
While I appreciate Yelp, I highly recommend everyone go to restaurants and form their own opinions. If you really need to use Yelp, don't go any further than googling the restaurant to see the overall number of stars users have given.
For example, I had dinner at Grub. Since they're new and the website is not 100% working, meaning the menus are not yet posted, I browsed Yelp for an idea of menu items. One person said the mac & cheese was not very good – didn't use elbow pasta, too saucy, etc. In fact, there was better at some Irish pub close by.
Apparently, we have very different viewpoints on mac & cheese. Grub used fusili pasta but this does not equal bad mac & cheese. If anything, each groove in the pasta retains more cheese! There wasn't that much excess sauce, but since when is extra cheesey goodness not a good thing? Perhaps her template is the famous blue box and neon orange powder... perhaps she doesn't realize we've stepped up our mac & cheese game a bit.
Grub is comfort food done pretty well. Glad to have it in the neighborhood after a few hours of drinking in the Mission.
