Such a great spot with delicious food and drinks!
We came on a Saturday evening, and it was packed. Even so, the entire staff was doing their absolute best to keep things moving fast. We got our drinks almost immediately, and the food came out in about 10 minutes.
We ordered the pub burger, the American burger, and mozzarella sticks. The pub burger was so big I couldn’t even finish it. What really impressed me was how juicy it was without the bun getting soggy or falling apart like it does at so many other places - the bread was firm and really good quality. Both burgers came with fries. Definitely grab sauces right away; I especially loved the spicy ranch sauce.
For drinks, I had a sour beer, blueberry and lemon, and it was absolutely amazing. If you’re not sure you’ll like it, you can ask for a sample, which is a really nice touch.
The atmosphere is also super interesting: upstairs they have large communal tables, which makes it easy to sit, chat, and even meet new people. Such a fun experince.
The service deserves special mention - I honestly don’t know how the owner managed to hire so many friendly and professional people. We chatted with several staff members, and every single one of them was the definition of polite.
Highly recommend checking this place out!

Saturday around 5 PM. We stopped here after a bike ride around the city — hungry, a bit tired, and ready for a proper break.

The place was slightly tricky to spot at first. Nothing critical, but a small sign or clearer indication from the street would help, especially on a busy weekend.

Once inside, everything changed quickly.

We were welcomed by a great host — friendly, confident, and genuinely helpful. I had plenty of questions, and instead of just answering them, she helped narrow things down and suggested exactly what fit my taste. Calm, professional, and very natural service — the kind that instantly makes you relax.

I ordered mozzarella sticks, a strawberry mocktail, and the American burger.

The food came out fast and hit the spot after the ride. The burger was juicy, simple, and well balanced — no gimmicks, just done right. The strawberry mocktail was refreshing, not overly sweet, and perfect after being active.

We also asked for an extra sauce with the mozzarella sticks. It was brought out without any mention of an extra charge — a small gesture, but one that really stood out.

Overall, great experience. Solid food, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d come back to again.

Food and service were great. I ordered The veggie burger and strawberry splash mocktail. Burger was declined and came w/ fries. It had good savory flavor. Not too dry. The drink was sweet and tasted similar to a Shirley temple. Would recommend both! Ambiance was very spacious and social. They have an upstairs seating area and outdoor seating w/ portable fire warmer thingys.

Veggie Burger: 4.5/5

This burger spot is known for the craft beer but I was here for their talked about Wagyu Pub Burger. It’s loaded with almost everything! I’m talking about your standard lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, red onions with a slab of cheese and some bacon then slathered with thier secret pub sauce in a pretzel bun. Just by writing this doesn’t it just make your mouth water?! Well it definitely saturated my craving for a burger. It came with a side of fries which were also good and something I would definitely order again. They have an upstairs and an outside patio in the back so there’s plenty of room. Service was great and they bring your order out to you. So after this tasty and positive experience I’ll be definitely coming back. So if you’re in the area and craving a brew and burger the definitely check this place out when and if you can.

Amazing, family run small business! Great food, great beer, great people

Came to give this place a try based off social media advertisements. Completely disappointed and IPA from the Liquor taste better than the beer. & the food doesn't taste any better than outback steak house. Hard pass especially with size of establishment & long wait time. Don't waist your time its over hyped like everything else on tik tok.

Went here with a friend. Service was great, but after that things didn't go so well. I ordered the brisket mac n cheese, which the brisket was OK but the Mac was inedible. No flavor and a chalky texture. My friend got the buffalo chicken sandwich, which she said was good but messy. The place itself looked a bit rundown and haphazard. Only 1 TV in the whole place. It is nice that they bring the food to your table (since you order at counter). However, ice machine was down, out of sour cream, some soda was out. Overall I would not likely come here again. Although, it was a brewery and neither of us got a beer. So I cannot speak to that.

Husband and I got a flight and every single drink was delicious. I prefer hazy IPAs and he likes sours, but across the board they were great. Burgers were awesome, nice meat quality and balance of flavors. Try the fried pickles if you like those, they are the rounds not the spears. Employees were kind, helpful, and really made my Saturday night. Only left me wondering why they stop serving so early? I think more people would hang out and order more if they stayed open later!

Great service and fast service too. The food was wonderful. In total it was a 10/10.

Lots of seats all over and very spacious- we went outside because we have a kiddo that likes to run and play! They have board games too, more for adults.

My husband got the German lager and he liked it a lot (he’s normally a Mexican lager guy), and I got the peach seltzer and loved it!

I’ve visited this place for its beers but never tried their food.

I had the Brisket jam burger and truffle fries with garlic sauce. The burger was delicious, and the garlic sauce complemented the fries.

The honey blond was refreshing with a subtle honey flavor.
