This road-trip stop was actually for trying their 25th anniversary stout (which was nitro and delicious with a free snifter glass, too!) but we also had some great food.
Ate outside off a less busy side street and had the Club on a ciabatta roll (would have been really nice with some hand-cut smoked turkey) a Cubano (very good) and the spicy pork sandwich (very good).
Food prices are in line with quality, but the stout price with the glass was a steal! Tried...

The food doesn't look like much in the photos, but don't be deceived, the burgers absolutely enormous. Service was quick, food came out hot and fresh and beer was very good.

Could have been a little bit more flavorful or special but what you got was just a good burger, good fries, and a pleasant place to be.

I stepped into my old work, which was founders Hill and is now Emmett’s, to have a beer and lunch. The bartender, Will, was Insurance super nice, attentive and friendly. Even the server who came around for drinks and the bar back who is helping out were very nice. Thanks for a great afternoon guys!
