The Dip at Goodgod Small Club is opened from 5pm Wed - Sat, serving classic American fast food favourites, as well as their signature punch jugs and a list full of cocktail concoctions. Oh, and not to mention Wednesday night trivia with everything from Beyonce to Daria. This underground 'diner' has their mind in all the right places - music, atmosphere, decor, food.
Chevy Chase $28
A refreshing mix of organic vodka (sooooo me, right?), lemon barley water, zesty lemon bitters and lemon wheels. It reminded me of the lemon sodas I use to make at home, just with alcohol, so much win. One jug gets around 4 drinks.
Pull Pork Nachos $15
Having tried the nachos before, I just HAD to order them again. Corn chips with 12 hour smoked pork, pinto beans, tomato salsa, BBQ sauce, jalapeño cream and melted cheese... So much deliciousness on a plate. The perfect combination of spicy, smoky, sweet, creamy, as well as all that cheese. Def one of my faves!
BBQ plate $15
I ordered the monthly special which was North Carolina style pulled pork, BBQ beans, slaw, crackling and corned bread. The pork was juicy and flavoursome, and I have never felt as American as I did eating this meal. The crackling was very crunchy, but a bit too crunchy perhaps (is that possible?!). I've never had corned bread prior, which I later found it it just bread made with cornflour and not corn, but it is very dense in texture which was fitting to my very heavy meal.
DFC $12
Vee had the DFC which was made of buttermilk fried chicken burger with lettuce and chipotle mayo. The chicken was golden, crispy and juicy, but needed more sauce. It seemed a bit plain with just the lettuce and sauce, nevertheless it was still a great burger.
The Dip has a chill and laid-back atmosphere. Staff were friendly, however the bar chick took our order after someone else's even though it was more than obvious we were there first. The have specials monthly, with new burgers, nachos and hotdog flavours. I will def be back, next time for trivia night I think...
EDIT: The Dip just announced today on their Facebook page that they will be shutting in 4 weeks, with the last day of trade on the 12th of July. I hope the successor of The Dip will do it justice. All the best to Bianca, Levins, and their new bub, Archie.
