The menu matches the ambition of the building: Vietnamese, Mexican, and Mediterranean influences share space with straightforward American comfort food, headlined by the Sovereign Burger (American cheese, caramelized onions, a secret sauce, pickles, brioche bun, $17) alongside Brussels sprouts, steak tacos, and a cocktail flight reviewers specifically call out. Google has it at 4.5 stars across over 1,500 reviews, with Sluurpy's 4.3 across roughly 1,770 recommendations backing up the consensus — genuinely strong numbers for a restaurant built around a menu that could easily read as unfocused but apparently doesn't land that way in practice.
Expect to spend $30-50 a person. No happy hour or discount special turned up in research here, but a former trolley barn turned into a globally-inflected American kitchen is a strange enough proposition on its own to be worth the drive out to Plainfield.
