“My first time to eat here really great“

“The ONLY reason I put yes instead of no was the bartender working Father’s Day. She deserves a raise, with all the chaos I didn’t catch her name. I watched this sweet woman take the weight of that whole restaurant with a smile on her face. We waited so long for service after she brought us drinks to help the server who was supposed to take care of us.. when the server never came for our order we were going to pay for our drinks and leave but she said if we stayed she would take care of us. When we finally got our food we were happy but the bartender really saved this from being a “we left because no one waited on us” review. Also are you hiring because I wondered if that was the issue?“

“First time visit was 5 stars! We arrived on a Friday evening expecting 10-15 guests for my son's 21st birthday celebration. I had not made a reservation or called ahead but the hostess offered a couple of options for us - despite the bar and dining areas already being pretty full. We were seated in the "party room" which was just perfect. Our waiter/bartender, Neal, was amazing! We immediately became friends and his service throughout the night was top notch. Drink and food orders were delivered quickly. The food is delicious. The menu is a step above normal pub fare, but if you're looking for steak or other larger entrees those are not available here. Our group ordered a variety of items and were pleased with the portions and quality. The Bavarian pretzel appetizer was DELICIOUS. Loved the beer cheese.This was our first time visiting Brewlink but I can promise you that we will return - soon. Thank you to their entire staff for making my son's 21st birthday party exactly what he wanted.“

“I met with a couple who wanted to ask me in person to officiate their wedding. It was their desire to make the request special and Charbono's provided the perfect setting. They were out of sirloin steak? However, the Bourbon Street Pasta was phenomenal. I love spicy food, especially cajun. Charbono's has been a special place to our family for over 25 years. It was nice to introduce a young couple form Lebanon (Boone County) to the restaurant where the amazing Cunningham Restaurants began. Thank you, Charbonos!“

“We paid for and attended the movie event on 12/16. They were out of popcorn when we arrived, so they had to make more - it was about 30 minutes before we got any popcorn. Service was extremely slow - waiting about an hour for our entrees. The movie and dinner concept is fun, but probably need more staff and better preparation ahead of time.“
