qwertyy Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I had an hour to kill this evening, so I stopped into Chief Ike's for a couple of beers. I haven't been there in years, and I think then only on (hectic) weekend nights. The place was empty early in the evening, and I noticed an extraordinary smell coming from ... somewhere. So, thinking I may come back some night for some wings or rings of some such, I picked up the menu next to me and took a look.Salmon burgers ($don't remember)Apple-glazed cornish game hens ($13)Pizza with roasted garlic, caramelized onion, sausage, and mushroom ($14)Not on the menu was a special of tri-tip with sauteed mushrooms and roasted potatoes that looked gorgeous.Wha? This is a dive joint, right? I regret that I didn't have the time to partake this evening, but have any of you enjoyed the fare at Chief Ike's? Is it as good as it sounds? The price is amazing; the product is promising; the vision is inspiring and admirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twillis Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 My guess is that their liquor license forces them to sell food. That is a pretty common occurence in DC and forces some places that have no reason to ever sell food to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenman Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Wha? This is a dive joint, right? Yes. The menu is a shock to me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demandalicious Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I've eaten there before. It's been a while, but the pizzas used to be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I went for a post-midnight Chief Ike's beer tonight, getting a PBRĀ ($3) and a Famosa ($3), enjoying the beers on their patio. The bartender was as friendly as could be on a slow night, not even asking us for a card when we went outside. No food, no nothing; just good service and low-key fun.
