The Lock Yard Bay Ridge, a Review


"The Hipsters are coming . THE HIPSTERS ARE COMING" Are what they screamed as the announcement of this Beer Garden was going to be opened. Well to be honest if Hipsters love Artisan Sausages and Fancy Hot Dogs, then I expect to come in my the hundreds. But I am not a Hipster and I am not really sure what one is, but I didn't like my experience at The Lock Yard. Let me break it down for you

First I really liked the Pink Lemonade

It was not too sweet it was refreshing and provided a nice exhilarating quenching of my thirst. It all went down hill from there. I found the menu limiting if I was in the mood for hot dogs and sausages maybe I would have had a different experience, so I tried to make the best of my limited options and ordered a Kings Smoked Beef and Cheddar Sausage with onions. I'm not sure what the bread roll was that they gave it to me in but it dwarfed the sausage and I felt like all I was tasting was onions . Along with my order I ordered waffle fries with two dipping sauces. The first sauce I order was Carolina Gold BBQ and Sweet Bourbon Mustard. The Carolina Gold BBQ was really good, but the Sweet Bourbon Mustard was not sweet or any good, I spoke to a manager about it , he came back with replacement sauce but I didn't taste any improvement. When my fries arrived I thought things were picking up since they brought what appeared to be two portions of fries, now I started thinking "interesting generous portions of fries". When my bill came I got the bad news that for every dipping sauce I ordered , I apparently ordered another portion of fries. So I don't know if my server was just bad or this is a normal practice at The Lock Yard. Along with my experience I ate outside.

It looked nice at outside, but as you see it was pretty empty. Overall I didn't have a good experience , but I am willing to give the place another try, but nexttime I'll be in the mood for some hot dogs.
I give this experience 2.5 hot dogs out of 5

M@D @ The movies Transformers Dark of the moon review.





I hope you brought your 3-d glasses to PTU today or else this image will appear strange to you.

Here is the quick review of Transformers Dark of the Moon.

If you LOVE slow motion this is the movie for you! It was used nicely
in second Transformers' movie, but it is over used in this one. The explosions were cut down from the previous movies, but the amount of BS was increase 1000% I know its a movie but physics still have to exist some how.

In one such physics bending scene, a building was cut so that the top portion fell diagonally, but some how was able to suspend its self in mid air. Planets were able to exist in close proximity to each other as if nothing happened. So lets forget physics how was the story?

Well Opitmus Prime was made out to be a scene stealing douche, he would hang out or be delayed in some way off screen, then when needed most he would come out and save every body. (This happen several times)

Best part of this movie was the list of "stars" that were in this movie. leonard nimoy was the voice of one "Robot", John Malkovich had some good scenes as Shia Labeouf's boss, but the ultimate moment and the most entertaining by a non main character was by "Steve the Pirate" http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/steve.jpg

In closing, Shia Labeouf was the most non annoying he had been in any movie he had done before.

I give it 2 energon cubes out of five
