good food but weirdly rude staff. came here a few months ago with my partner and i ordered a beer and food for us to initially share. after the food came out, my partner decided she wanted more food and went up to the counter and to get her own order on her own tab which set off the bartender who berated her for not wanting to combine our orders. just really weird. another bartender got upset at another female patron while we were there and they had a very loud back and forth. just not a good vibe from the staff here.

A favorite spot of ours. Rotating menu, I've tried so many dishes, I otherwise would not have tried. Great food. Great selection of beers on tap, also serves wine. Outside seating with views of the creek, inside seating with a large fireplace, lots of tables. Place your order, grab a beverage. They'll page you when it's ready, grab your food, utensils, condiments. Quick service is an added bonus

Very nice. Well run. Very clean. Something new Labor Day weekend. We got in and out of there in 20 minutes. A nice change in Murphy's.

Just had the barrel smoked ribs. !!!! Fantastic and great price !!! Sauce is amazing. I also love their cucumber salad. Wish the menu didn’t always change and they stuck with all best sellers !!!! Great food and value !!

I am sitting out on my deck enjoying my wife’s leftover potato salad this morning. OMG is this good. I can’t wait to go there and enjoy the beer and food. My wife said that she had burger and she said it was delicious. The girl bartender was so nice and responsive, hopefully you can keep excellent employees like her! The cashier was nice too, a bit of a jokester so don’t misinterpret him being fun when you go there! We have lived up here for 5 years and just love all the restaurants in town, the Watering Hole is one of the better ones according to my wife!

Stopped by here for lunch today while awaiting our guided tour time at the Caverns nearby. Would return. Basic summary: Food was tastier than expected. Kalua pork very yummy 😁 Prices were lower than expected. 😊 Lots of craft beer options. Nice atmosphere. Good crowd vibe overall. Recommend. Bar staff went out of their way to resolve a missing Mead order.

Used to be a much better food menu.
It was infact an always changing menu, not anymore. Just offering basic items to past couple of months

Really wanted to like this place. Good beer, good food, and a great space. But on 3 separate occasions over several years we've experienced the owner being extremely rude to employees and guests including our party. There's another similar place in Murphy's for great beer and food with amazing employees.

Food is different all the time- sometimes good sometimes not so much. The lady taking orders can be a little impatient. Dogs are allowed on the patio but not in the restaurant while you are ordering🙄? Outside atmosphere is nice next to a creek inside is just ok.

The place is great as far as the set up. I’ve been here twice and the staff are very impatient and the place is full of rules. Still worth a visit but customer service is poor.
Great outdoor seating area. Solid food. It’s right next to a creek. Was able to take my dog to eat outside after a day of exploring.
