“Love us some Pub at the Creamery. It’s a regular spot for our weekly date night. We each get a pizza, share the house salad and get a couple of their creative cocktails. My favorite vegetarian pizza is the Greek. The husband likes the classic pizza. My favorite thing about the house salad are the roasted garbanzo beans. Their cocktails are delicious and their ice is huge and clear just like we like em! You can also get the food to go which we did last night. The hostess called when the food was ready so I could pick it up hot and fresh. So great customer service too. 👌🏻“
