Never been disappointed with my food and beverage orders here, I highly recommend a burger and bourbon.

The menu and taplist are great! Something for everyone! Plenty of vegetarian and carnivore options, most beer styles well-represented. Lots of local gems on the tap list, amazing selection of bottles and top shelf whiskey wall, and superb specialty cocktails. Great service-Real good people.

Gastropub decked out more like a sports bar. A little cold atmosphere. Service outstanding. Food was ok. Reuben was soft on meat. Fried chicken tender but dry. 0

Consume has been hit or miss. Came in one day and between great taps and awesome smashburgers we had an absolutely amazing time. Kebabs were quite good too. Came back a different night and it was a garbage sports bar. I assume it was because of the drunk sports people hanging around. But soup seemed to be frozen and microwaved. An order of onion rings came out as fast as the waiter could move. Did they just have food hanging out in the back so the staff could watch the game? Seems like.It feels like there's a fight going on between a chef who seems to want to make this place a high end gastropub, and some manager who wants to sell garbage frozen food to drunk sports fans. I hope the chef wins. This area doesn't need another Applebee's. There are too many cool ideas going on here to turn it into some generic sports bar.

Can't beat the price, portions, and quality. If you like bourbon, this is the place to be.

Met another couple for dinner, first time here. The Manhattans were incredible. General consensus at the table was the food was wonderful. We would definitely go back.

My husband and I went to Consume several years ago and were unimpressed with the food/ service/ ambiance. We happened to be right by it, and since a friend said he really likes their chicken wings, we gace it another try. Wow. We ordered the chicken wings and charcuterie plate. Both were shockingly bad. The chicken wings were fried, with no sauce. The ONLY taste we could pick up was a fried taste. No seasoning. Meat was dry, and the fat in the wings had not been rendered. Just not done well at all. The "blue cheese" dressing that came with it was the consistency of skim milk with the tiniest bit of blue cheese crumbles. Then there was the charcuterie board. I've never seen that much gray meat. The prosciutto was cut thick and gray. The smoked duck was also cut in thick wedges and gray. The rabbit sausage was gray as well. The cheese had mold on the sides. The cucumber (very odd with everything else on the plate) had clearly been cut and in the fridge door several days, not fresh at all. There were a few crackers on the plate, half of which were soggy from sitting in a compote. Will never be back.

Not to be confused with the dispensary named Consume, this place has great food! I came here for the first time with my husband, my sister, and her husband a couple of weeks ago, and we really enjoyed our experience. When walking in, you can tell it has a very modern and industrial aesthetic. The lights are dim, everything is woody, and there are many tables with one long bar. Food wise, everything was amazing. We started with the Sous Vide Buffalo Wings ($12 for 6 wings), and they were delicious and soft. I'm not sure how they can call them buffalo wings because they didn't even have a little spice to them, but the texture and flavor were perfect. For my lunch, I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich ($17) with truffle fries. The chicken sandwich was amazing and had a HUGE breaded chicken breast on the bun. The truffle fries were okay, but a little on the drier side. They were SO much better once I asked for the garlic aioli on the side. However, I'm not a huge fan of fries in general. It would be nice to have more side options such as sweet potato fries or tots! My family loved their meals, too! My husband ordered a Traditional Burger ($17), and the beef comes from grass-fed cows if you care about that! Definitely higher quality than most places. My sister ordered the half order of the Limon Steak Salad ($$12). This was pretty big, so we couldn't imagine how full-sized one is! Lastly, my brother-in-law ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich ($17), which he thoroughly enjoyed, as well because the chicken breast again was so juicy and fresh. Consume has a large alcohol selection, as well. They have tv screens hanging on the back wall that lists the names, description, sizes, and prices of the craft beer selections they offer, and they also have a large selection of cocktails and bottled/canned options. I ended up ordering the Tripping Animals 3 Years of Tripping sour ($12 for 12 oz), which was amazing. It has many fruity tastes like peach, pineapple, mango, passionfruit, and more. Service-wise, or waiter was attentive and friendly. He constantly checked in with us and got everything we needed. Overall, I will 100% be back here! It was definitely worth the trip, and I can't wait to try other menu items!

We love it here- their kids chicken fingers are hands down the best thing on their menu with the honey mustard. We also love their quinoa cakes. Beer choices are great tio
