Film Center Cafe

Last night, for a late dinner after the gym, we went over to Film Center Cafe. This place has been in our neighborhood for years, and we've even seen it undergo a renovation, but we've still never eaten there. I've gotten delivery at work, but this was the first time we actually went through the door. $5 off thanks to LivingSocial Instant Deals didn't hurt!

A got a pulled pork sandwich which came with seasoned fries:


He thought it was just OK. Not a lot of sauce, a little salty, and just OK. The fries weren't too bad.

I got the Maryland crab cake burger with cajun sweet potato fries:


I also thought this was just OK. The taste of the patty wasn't bad but it wasn't that seasoned. The sandwich fell apart a few times because of everything in it. Also, crab cakes that come in circular patties are just a little strange to me, but I guess that's why it was a "burger" and not just a crab cake sandwich? I like the one from Dalton's down the street better. As for the fries, they were fine but only if you thought of them as just sweet potato fries. There wasn't really anything cajun about them. But since this was post-gym, sweet potato fries were definitely a better idea than regular fries.

The atmosphere was more fun than the food. There were people singing and dancing along to the dance songs that were playing, and the bar was pretty lively. We would go back, since the food was OK, but maybe try something else. Maybe brunch - seems to be popular for that.
