Bison Burger FAIL! :(
Have you ever tried a BISON burger?? If you have please COMMENT below on how you like BISON compared to regular beef or turkey patties. After starving a whole day while at a TARTE Cosmetics event with my girl Stephanie @makeupl0verr, we literally sat in the car for about an hour trying to figure out where to eat in DTLA just so we wouldn't have to sit in traffic. #lastereotypes LOL! This was my first time trying BISON thanks to a DINE LA menu. So here goes another little review of my experience at PUBLIC SCHOOL 213 in Downtown LA. Don't forget to LIKE! ❤ TYSM!!! www.discoverlosangeles.com
Public School 213
Service: ★★★★☆
Food: ★★☆☆☆
ALL in ALL: ★★★☆☆
PS213 is a gastropub with several locations that only serves craft beer, although my girl and I didn't take a sip for Happy Hour, we definitely still enjoyed quality time catching up in this hip spot. They have dart and shuffle boards. The seating and atmosphere is so welcoming, reminding us of what it was like back in school where Recess and Lunch were the best parts of our day. Service was great and our waitress was very kind. Unfortunately, the main entrèe was a FAIL, so hopefully not all bison burgers are made that way. If they are, then please school me in the comments below & I'll be back PS213 for a rematch on that burger and dessert to shoot out more stars.

Appetizers
BROWN BAG FRIES Mustard bbq sauce, Sriracha ketchup - i mean you can never go wrong with fries or at least I have yet to come across bad fries. Cooked perfectly! (Ordered outside of DINE LA menu)*
CRISPY NAKED WINGS Buffalo Ranch, Hot Wing Sauce - i usually love getting wings like this where it's plain with no sauce that way I have control over how much sauce it gets dipped in. Definitely crisp to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning. (Ordered outside of DINE LA menu)*
BACON CHEDDAR TOTS Sriracha Ketchup - these definitely didn't look like your frozen in a bag tots, home made yummy bites with not too much cheese and bacon in each tot. They are pretty big in size and the Sriracha Ketchup is soo yummy, reminds me of Spicy Filipino Banana Ketchup. (If you don't know, now you know) LOL! =P
KALE SALAD - I would like to say that the little fishies on top were anchovies, not something I'd prefer on my salad, but maybe if I had some rice and soy sauce with that fish I'd have eaten it. LOL! Aside from that, salad was good and straight to the point, to be more specific, this was a Kale Caesar.
Entrèes
BBQ BISON BURGER Grass fed, whiskey bbq sauce, emmental, pepper bacon mushroom topping - I ordered it cooked to a medium NO bbq sauce with slaw as the side but got fries instead and with bbq sauce, but definitely not going to complain about them fries As the burger arrives, it looks tasty and I couldn't wait to take a bite. I've seen some yummy pictures of what this burger probably should look like, mine definitely was a mess. Unfortunately as soon as I picked it up to bite it the patty totally fell apart, the cheese just slid off, the bacon was way undercooked, and honestly this was so hard to eat. I tried it with a fork and as for the taste of the bison patty, I was surprised to have liked it. Just disappointed that my burger wasn't even together enough to even eat with a fork. I barely ate a quarter of it, sorry but I'd have to take this down as a burger fail. The waitress did ask me if I wanted something else but my appetite was ruined. Would love to give it another go eventually to shoot some more stars over.
Dessert
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE Macerated Strawberries, Whipped Cream, Mint - Sadly, I didn't receive my dessert. Definitely a bummer on top of the burger fail. Guess I'll have to leave this blank until I get to taste it.
