Remarkably inconsistent is the only way to describe 540 North. We've been regulars of Picaroon's Roundhouse for a couple of years now and we never fail to be baffle by the food. More often than not it is stone cold (even something as simple as an order of fries), the fish tacos have ranged from ok to having almost no fish in them, while the burgers have been at times delicious and at others cold with hair in them!

And so bland....and cold...the staff will blame you for ordering during dinner time. Can't make this stuff up. Beer was great and staff in the brewery...
