The Monk's Kettle
I'm a pub gal. Give me some dim lighting, an old wood bar, a sudsy pint of ale and a burger and fries, and I'm happy. The problem is I'm tired of grimy tables that remain sticky even after they're wiped down. I'm tired of the soggy fries and droopy pickles that show up on my plate. Here in Frisco we have plenty of good beer bars that serve food. But that's just the thing: They are beer bars that serve food! And they don't put much thought into what's coming out of the kitchen. Not so at Monk's Kettle in the Mission. The folks at Monk's have redefined pub grub. Not only do they offer an extensive selection of imported and locally produced beer, with a special nod to Belgian brews, but they also make their veggie burgers from scratch, use fresh organic ingredients and free-range meats, and offer a laidback, unpretentious atmosphere. My french fries were extra crispy and my pickle cold and crunchy. And when the waiter cleared my plate, it didn't stick to the table.
