Devil's Alley - 19th and Chestnut St

Devil's Alley
I quite enjoy Devil's Alley, you can tell a lot of people feel the same way when you walk by it on a nice sunny day.  And what's not to like, they serve good American food, have a diverse selection of craft beers and outdoor and open window seating.  So today we decided to head over to the alley for a Friday lunch.

1) Fiesta Burger(special) - $11.95
The fiesta burger, described as including queso fresco, peppers and onions was mucho lacking in the fiesta department.  The fiesta components are over run by the giant burger so there was little to distinguish this from a regular burger.  For $12 I expected something more. [5/10]

2) Buffalo Chicken Sandwich - $9.95
My partner got this oh so exciting order and opted to forego the included bacon for reasons I can't comprehend.  Overwhelmed with the quantity of blue cheese and disappointed by an overly soft bun she was less than thrilled about her choice.
We both agreed, despite the fries looking like a pile of garbage, they were quite good.
[4.5/10]

3) Hebrew Original Ale(left) - $6.50
An imperial amber ale flavored with fresh pomegranate juice from Brooklyn, NY. 8.3% ABV
4) Long Trail Belgian Wit(right) - $5
An unfiltered belgian white ale with a hint of citrus and corriander from Bridgewater, VT. 5.3% ABV

Overall LTE score [7/10] This is usually a solid lunch spot and at times great so I don't want to drop my overall score because of this one visit.  Today's lunch was a disappointment but I'll be back again.
