"Cathey" Kabobs
Who says only bad things can come from playing with pointy sticks in a brewery while working around open flames? We take our sirloin and marinate it in our special recipe and skewer (go ahead, you can say it out loud - we like the way it sounds, too) them with some red peppers, onions, and green peppers and cook them over our open flame mesquite grill. Brewer's Note: Experience all the richness of the steak by drinking a maltier beer, like our Alt.

Fish 'N' Chips
We couldn't call ourselves a pub unless we carried this traditional meal of beer-battered fish served with our homemade cajun tartar sauce and golden brown chips (fries, if you will).
7.95
Brewer's Note: Enjoy this with a traditional pale ale, like the White Mule!

Market Square Burro
Not to be alarmed friends, we mean a burrito here, not the pack animal. We stuff our flour tortillas with taco beef, refried beans and mixed cheese and bake it to a golden color and top it with our homemade salsa.
8.95

Shrimp Alhambre
Imagine if you will, delicious shrimp coated in lemon pepper and garlic butter. Their delicate little forms skewered and cooked over an open flame mesquite grill to a perfectly plump state and served with a side of our rice and vegetables. Okay, now stop imagining and start ordering because these things are waiting for you!
14.95
Brewer's Note: Enjoy this light, delicious meal with a light beer, like the Downtown Blonde.

Durango Chicken
Caught off the coast of Montana - near a snipe farm, these lil' buggers put up a heck of fight. Nonetheless, we begin grilling the chicken breast then cover it in our sweet stout BBQ sauce. After grilling it to a moist state we cover it with mixed cheese, tomatoes, and bacon and even place it on a plate (see, we care).
10.95

Fajitas (Fa-He-tas)
Hot and sizzling (keyword: HOT) marinated steak, chicken, shrimp or portabella served on top of mixed peppers and onions. We serve these delicacies on a HOT skillet with a side of sour cream, mixed cheese, lettuce, and pico de gallo. These things scream how good they are on their own because they're on a HOT skillet! All fajitas are served with a side of rice and beans and flour tortillas.
Chicken, Steak or Portabella 12.95
any two from above 13.95
Shrimp 14.95
add homemade guacamole 1.00

Taco Trio
In the tradition of the great threesomes throughout history: the Three Stooges, the 3 Musketeers, Charlie's Angels, the Brady boys, and the Brady girls (although, that's really six, we suppose), we offer the taco trio. Three spicy beef tacos filled with lettuce, tomatoes, and mixed cheese. We recommend it with rice and beans. However, the sides are a duo you can choose.
8.95
we offer it with grilled fajita steak or chicken for an additional 1.00 per taco

Mesquite-Grilled Chicken
Our 10 oz. chicken breast mesquite grilled to a juicy perfection. We can season this with lemon pepper, cajun spices, caribbean style, or blacken it. For a nominal fee we can top it with pepperjack cheese.
9.95

Caper Chicken (Pasta)
There's nothing worse than chickens that have gone awry (get it, caper?). Well, maybe, but we really don't want to think about those types of things. We top our mesquite grilled chicken with sautéed mushrooms and onions, chopped parsley, and of course our capers. We offer this either on a bed of fettuccine noodles or with two sides. See, we're not as bad as the chickens.
11.95

Dan's Chicken Pasta
A combination of our alfredo sauce, mushrooms, and grilled chicken. We then toss it around a bit with our penne noodles (not in a mean way - a delicious way). We put this in a pasta bowl and top it with mozzarella cheese and bake it to perfection.
9.50

Dave's Parmesan Pasta
A combination of our homemade marinara sauce, diced fried chicken strips, and mushrooms. We toss this with the skill of a master sword juggler, actually more of the skill of a master pasta flipper but no time to be picky. We cover this with mozzarella cheese Italian seasoning and coincidentally enough cook it to perfection.
9.50

Mark's Italian Pasta
Imagine if you will a pizza - try not to cramp up. Now, imagine marinara sauce tossed around penne noodles, Italian sausage, mushrooms, peppers and black olives then we top it with sliced pepperoni. We sprinkle this with Italian seasoning and yet again, with deft skill, we cook it to perfection.
9.50

Al's Fredo Pasta
Our own special Alfredo sauce tossed with fettuccini noodles. It's a light and creamy dish unto itself. However, you can make it more filling with chicken, portabella or shrimp for just a few dollars more each.
7.95

 

Meat Temperatures
Just to make sure that we get it the way YOU want it, here's a guide on OUR meat temperatures:

Rare:
A cool red center.
Medium Rare:
A warm pink center.
Medium:
Done mostly through with a sliver of pink in the middle.
Medium Well:
Cooked evenly throughout.
Well D
one:
Cooked all the way though with exterior done more than the inside, slightly. takes a bit more time so be patient. Sorry, we do NOT guarantee the tenderness at this stage.
Butterfly:
If you're in a hurry we slice the steak down the middle and open it up to allow to cook quicker. This will cook either medium well or well done, only.
Burnt:
A style of cooking that leaves the meat resembling asphalt or mesquite. If ordering this way, please ask for a refill on water or beer.

Captain Sirloin
Good enough to make the spirit of Captain Woodruff reach up and smack the cook for not having it when he was around! We take our 10 oz. sirloin and stuff it with sauteed shrimp, spinach, mushrooms, bacon, parmesan cheese, and garlic butter. We let this marinate for several hours and then cook it to your liking. We place two sides on the plate for you to save until last because once you start this you won't want to stop.
14.95
Brewer's Note: For those with a creative flair (and legal body), this meal is best enjoyed with our signature beer the Woodruff IPA!

Mesquite-Grilled Ribeye
A tasty 12 oz. ribeye, seasoned and grilled to a perfect state. Trust us, the grill marks are so defined you can play tic-tac-toe on them. However, remember what your parents said about playing with your food - you'll go blind or something.
14.95

Downtown Sirloin
Think seasoned choice sirloin. Think open flame mesquite grill. Think mushrooms and onions. Think feta cheese. Think two sides. Okay, quit thinking and grab that server of yours before you start nibbling on your arm.
13.95
mesquite grilled sirloin without the toppings 12.95

Ahi Tuna
It's sushi grade tuna, although we ran out of chopsticks so it's not rolled sushi style. Not to mention, it's a 10 oz. cut and very few people could cram it in their mouth in one bite. Anyway, we offer it in several different styles: blackened, cajun, caribbean, or lemon-pepper. You can have two sides placed on the plate for your timely consumption.
Market Price

Sunsphere Scampi
We lure 14 of our jumbo shrimp into our sauté pan - their bodies are big, not their heads; therefore, they're not too smart. We sauté them and serve them in our homemade scampi butter. We serve these delightful, mouthwatering morsels with two of our sides. Can you feel yourself beginning to drool?
14.95
Brewer's Note: Get your taste buds ready for this tasty meal with a Woodruff IPA!

Fresh Atlantic Salmon
Our hand cut fresh Atlantic salmon, cooked over our open flame mesquite grill. You can have it with some extra zing by cooking it blackened style, cajun, caribbean, or lemon-pepper style. We serve it up with two of our sides.
Market Price

Fish of the Special Day
We call this the "Fish of the Special Day" because it depends on whether or not we get up early enough to catch them. Not only that, it depends on where we're fishing and the bait we're using. There really are so many factors involved. The best thing to do is to check with your server (that's the person that keeps wandering to your table to check on you).
Market Price

Seasoned Mesquite-Grilled Pork Chops
We spice two of our 8oz. chops up with a bit of our specialized seasoning mix. Don't bother asking for the recipe; we keep it under lock and key, in the basement, with 3 guards, two German Shepherds, and a laser-guided Egyptian cobra (don't ask). The results are a tender and moist chop cooked to a savory finish waiting for you to enjoy. Served with two sides.
13.95

Mesquite-Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Our hand cut pork tenderloin tenderized in our homemade marinade and cooked to your specifications over our open-flame mesquite grill. Wow! With a description like that, how can you resist?! In case you can, we'll throw in two sides of your choosing. Now, that's a meal!
12.95
Brewer's Note: A well-balanced meal should be accompanied with a well-balanced beer, like the Downtown Nut Brown.

DGB Cheesesteak (or Chicken) Pizza
Downtown Grill & Brewery. Drink Good Beer. Don't Grab Badgers. Don't Get Busted. All good advice that can be reflected on while consuming this tasty pizza. We top our 12" crust with our homemade cheese sauce, mexican veggies, sliced mushrooms and mozzarella cheese. You then can have your choice of marinated steak or chicken sliced and placed on top.
9.95

Cheese Pizza
This is your standard pizza that every plain Jane (no offense intended, you wild Janes) will love. Our tasty pizza crust is covered in our chunky marinara sauce and topped with 4 different cheeses. You can top this bad boy off with any number of additional toppings for a quarter each: mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage, olives, peppers & onions, ham, more cheese, etc. We can add other things moving slower than us and that the cooks think can be cooked (e.g. NO cars, wallets, etc.) however, there may be more than a quarter charge.
6.95

White Pizza
We cover our pizza crust with an alfredo sauce (not just any alfredo, but ours). We then sprinkle it (it being the pizza) with cheese and Italian seasoning. We decorate it with sliced tomatoes and a lovely spinach blend. At this point it's close to a vegetarian item; however, for you omnivores (big word, huh?) out there we can add our mesquite grilled chicken for a truly exotic taste.
8.95
add Chicken or Portabella 2.75

Pizza Del Centro
Taste buds a little slow for the day? Well, we've got just the thing to launch them to an awakened state. We top our pizza crust off with some salsa, mixed cheeses, black olives, red onions, pico de gallo and Mexican veggies.
8.95
All right, you're twisting our arms here, but if your tummy really wants it we can send it out with some extras:
add Taco Beef 1.00
add Chicken, Steak or Portabella 2.75

Stout BBQ Pizza
Our skilled grill master delicately grills this on our mesquite grill… the chicken that is. We use our sweet Stout barbecue sauce as our base and top it with our grilled barbecue chicken, red onions and mozzarella cheese. It's a delicious item that's doing its part to bring the bib back into style. Brewer's Note: Appreciate all the flavors by getting your taste buds started with our State Street Stout.
