Last night we decided to check another local brewpub off our list and head out to Rock Bottom<\/a> in King of Prussia with Bob. In Lew Bryson’s book, he defends the fact that it’s in a mall (one of the biggest malls on the east coast!), and so we were hopeful that it would still turn out to be a good place.<\/p>\n

I don’t like malls. I don’t like driving around big ones because there are so many people. But I would give this an honest chance.<\/p>\n

I think it was around 5:30 that we arrived, had a 15 minute wait (not bad for a Saturday night, we expected worse). Once seated we got a really nice waitress who was honestly excited about the brewery part of the place, she was more knowledgeable than most waitresses we get, it was a pleasant surprise and all the wait-staff seemed to be that way. She got a good tip.<\/p>\n

The food was good, entree portions were big. Michael’s dish came with their signature white cheddar mashed potatoes, which I didn’t mind stealing a few fork-fulls of. I got a yummie chicken sandwich. Bob ordered meatloaf, which he seemed to enjoy, he’s the only one who finished everything on his plate. For dessert I ordered the carrot cake that was “made with a whisper of Pale Ale” – yowza! This was some amazing, moist carrot cake, and the slice they gave me was HUGE.<\/p>\n

Now, the beer!<\/p>\n

I ordered their brewmaster’s special, which was a spicy winter ale based on their amber ale. Honestly? It tasted like an amber ale + a spice cookie. It was good, but probably would have gone better with my carrot cake dessert than with my meal. Then I had their Prussia Pale Ale, which was a pretty average pale ale, I enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

The verdict? It was good, but not so outstanding that it’s worth the KoP traffic specifically to get there. I won’t hesitate to go back if I happen to be at the mall, or am meeting friends and KoP is the central location we decide upon (which happens sometimes). I’m glad to know that it’s there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
