“The food was delicious. The order wasn't perfect, but it was not anything to cause concern. They were more than willing to remake, but it was perfectly fine as it was. The salad was large and very fresh & the ranch was great! The wings looked amazing. Sadly, I couldn't try one, but I know they would be delicious as I watched my granddaughter devour them! She is a 1st grader and nearly ate the 12 piece. She is a small girl so I have no idea where she put them!“

“Had our Christmas party there this weekend. Service impeccable, ribs and seafood were great, t-bones were less than desirable, so tough I couldn’t cut with the provided steak knife so I got out the trusted ole buck knife. I would not recommend the t-bones at all. They were out of filets.“

“The food here is good, and it is a huge location so you can sit at a communal table or a separate high top. Girlfriend had the Nashville hot fries. She had had them before and they were great, and a TON of food. I had the biscuits and gravy and the gravy had just enough spice and flavor to it to make it interesting. Biscuits were thick and tasty as well. Not a huge portion, but enough. The bacon was pretty average though. Not thick cut or anything. The beers here are the real story though. All their beers are great! If you're in Waterloo, it is definitely worth checking out.“

“Kitchen was really rough to our waitress tonight. Put her behind, and told her incorrect information about the own places menu. It honestly came across as the kitchen staff bullying the new girl.The food is 5 star, especially the Irish nachos and social burger. It would be even better if they remember everything that is advertised in their menu for what is ordered. I will also add that there does seem to be about 1 thing forgotten or not seen by the kitchen staff even when the waitresses do write it down correctly.I understand that it can get hectic in a kitchen, but it should not be a 50% chance that everything is going to be correct for the food. Either the kitchen or the waitresses need to be checking the orders before letting them leave the counter.The drinks are always amazing and the food is delicious. While it is worth coming to as a hole in the wall restaurant, it's best if you memorize what you order so you know you actually get what you ordered.“

They had a nice outdoor seating area. The staff were also professional and friendly. They should replace McDonald’s across the country! ;-)Vegetarian options: Build your own bowl or burrito w/vegan meat substitutes.“
