Great drinks and great service. Got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries. The fries were delicious but the hot chicken wasn't. Not spicy at all and very dry. Dry exterior and dry chicken. We also go the pot pie. While aesthetically pleasing for the gram the puff pastry on top was a bit hard to cut through with a fork and knife. It tasted good though.

Had a night out with friends while here out of town. This restaurant was great. The beers were tasty - all sorts to choose from. Pretzel and pimento cheese and crackers as appetizers. I would recommend the pretzel for parties of four or more, it's HUGE! It comes with three dips (Dijon mustard, cheese sauce and a cinnamon sugar butter). The cinnamon sugar is to die for. We also had two salads, chicken spicy sandwich (pretty spicy I was told) and a burger. The fries were crispy and flavorful. As far as price - it was more than a burger joint but less than some of the other restaurants at the casino. The server was friendly as well.

Very disappointing. Service was slow, although that is management's fault - the server had way too many tables to take care of on her own. Calamari was overcooked and salty. Chicken pot pie was not good. Thee potatoes and peas were way undercooked and it was a bit sweet. I returned it (which I never do) and got a chicken sandwich instead- went the opposite way - very overcooked! Kind of wondered if the chef did that out if spite when the pie was sent back due to being undercooked. The only redeeming item was the fries. Would not return.

Amazing f***ing drinks, food, service, and atmosphere. Period. Ask for Bobby, he's the s**** And ask for Cara, she's the best and will make sure that you have the best experience possible.

Excellent restaurant at the Encore Hotel and Casino. Met a dear mentor here for dinner after a decade - we enjoyed drinks and popcorn (!) - first at the bar and then at our table. Our server Cara was gracious and discreet and steered us correctly towards a satisfying appetizer (spinach and artichoke dip) and entrées - burger for me (medium well, and superbly made!) and salad with Nashville chicken for my guest. Bathrooms were clean and the décor was fascinating, with photos of design patents related to the beer industry - like the bottle, can, and (as shown in this review) the ale or beer condenser or cooler from 1894! Will certainly be back!

This was our first time and we went for lunch and had a wonderful time. The food and beer were both excellent and the restaurant had a very relaxed and comfortable feeling. It is located in a restored mill and has a modern, but historic feel to it. Some of the other businesses in the mill are also worth exploring. Staff was top notch. Will definitely return to try both dinner and breakfast.

We really enjoyed Night Shift! Tap beer flights for $12, awesome deal. The food is overpriced but delicious and everything that went by us looked delicious! We only got the massive pretzel to share. Pretzel was $28 but half filled us up and now we get to take the rest home! Our server (I can't remember his name) was awesome, friendly, and attentive. We would go back for sure!

Santiago was our server and he was amazing. I had the brisket chili which was scrumptious. We both had the butter lettuce salads which was one of the best most creative mixtures, it was wonderful. My husband had the signature burger, he said it was the best he ever had. Then we shared the brownie/ blondie sundae, leave room for it, it's so good. I had a mocktail as I no longer drink and it felt very satisfying. My husband had a cocktail that he really enjoyed. The music was great. The atmosphere is fun, alive and beautiful. I can't wait to go back!!!

There were 9 of us dinning with varied apps and entrees before hitting the cassino. Everything was excellent for all. The service was prompt, knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely be back again.

Before heading to dinner at Mystique, my boyfriend and I decided to check out Night Shift Brewery. We shared a complimentary bowl of buttered popcorn and a tasting experience of four 4oz beers on tap for $12. My boyfriend enjoyed Fluffy more than Juiceflow. I enjoyed both Night Shift Brewery Slushie Weisse and Wachusett Brewing Co (Blueberry Ale) with fresh blueberries. The Slushie Weisse was creamy, fruity, and tart. The Wachusett Brewing Co. Blueberry Ale was light, subtle, sweet, fruity, and smooth. We are curious where we can find these and other Night Shift Brewery beers (including Local Love, Blueberry Piescraper) nearby us.
This was horrible on all levels! The wine was putrid and the food was not edible and very pricy! Nasty shrimp taco for $25. The bill was outrageous. $90 for 2 drinks and 2 appetizers.Not kidding. When we spoke to the manager she just parroted "I am sorry" . Not once did they try and make up for the awful experience. Do NOT waste your time nor your money.

Went here around 11 pm on a Saturday night for just drinks. Casual place that wasn't too busy. Drinks were very good and pleasantly strong. Waiter was helpful listing the vodkas they had. Nice window to people watch while drinking. Several TVs. Will go back.

We were looking for something simple while at the Encore casino (i.e. not insanely expensive). We hopped into Night Shift and had some excellent beers (btw, look at both sides of the drink menu, they have more than Night Shift brews). We ordered food and, boy was it a wonderful surprise. The steak tips were excellent (and my friend's chicken sandwich looked awesome). A nice respite from gambling!

I enjoyed my dining experience at Night Shift Brewing Kitchen and Tap. The food and drinks were great, especially enjoyed the beer. Our server, Ayoub, was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the meal and added to the fun and experience overall. Highly recommended.

Had dinner with my friends here. First time at the casino. Ayoub was our waiter and made the experience incredible. His attention to detail when explaining the menu and his friendly and positive attitude was a breath of fresh air. He made us feel like high rollers. Best meal, drinks, and dining experience I have had in a while. Request Ayoub when you come here and you will leave happy
