Outtakes Bar and Grill - at the New Hope Cinema Grill

This summer a few new restaurants have opened in our neck of the woods, but the best of the bunch has to be Outtakes Bar and Grill. It is next door to the New Hope Cinema Grill and has the same owners. The Cinema Grill has always had better than average food anyway, so I was hoping Outtakes would be just as good and it was.

I has the BBQ flatbread that has BBQ sauce, cheese, chicken, bacon and onions on it. I really liked the thin, crisp crust. The BBQ sauce had a nice flavor, if a bit on the sweet side. The portion was filling and generous and I took some home to eat the next day.

John had the buffalo chicken sandwich with waffle fries. He liked the sandwich a lot. The chicken was grilled and had buffalo sauce, tomato and lettuce on a lightly toasted bun. The portion of waffle fries was large. I believe all sandwiches come with chips and you can upgrade to waffle fries for an extra charge of $1.99. Even after adding the waffle fries, the prices are in line with similar sports bars in the area for similar food quality.

Both were solid choices and we will certainly return again soon. The location is close to home and very convenient. It’s always nice to have a go-to place that you don’t have to drive very far to get to. The service was quite good as well. I found it slightly amusing that the servers take down your order on a cell phone. At first, I thought the server was texting at our table while taking our order. After watching  her do the same at other tables I realized that is part of the ordering system apparently.  The space has been newly remodeled and is rather sleek and modern looking. We are definitely looking forward to returning often.
