Great outdoor patio for chilling and cheering on Thursday Night Football! Food and beer selection are just what I needed!

Great place. Good food and good service.

A 5 star casual dining environment!

We found ourselves in the area around lunch and decided to stop in at the Reckless Shepard. I’ve heard several people refer it but hadn’t gone myself until now. For casual dining, this spot is great. Spacious and airy, it boasts several long high tops, two seater high tops for a more intimate feel, bar seating and an area for a private party.
There is a stage with ample lighting to make any night of the week; the best night. Multiple projectors spanned the room with a soft glow coming from the big distillery room. The ambience was really cool. We certainly appreciated the 90’s nostalgic playlist of music videos playing just loud enough to know your songs but continue your conversation.

We ordered a pizza, fries, wings, latkes, and a Cobb salad to go with our margarita, hazy IPA, and blue motorcycle. Everything was fresh and hot and savory. The drinks were delicious and well portioned! You scan for the menu and add your items so we only experienced the server when food was brought out but he was super nice still.
I loved the sauce on the pizza, light and tomatoey and savory as well!

The bathrooms were large and clean and the parking was ample for a Friday. We would certainly consider hosting an event or celebration here!

Kat was the best server! She gave very good recommendations and took really good care of us!

Very nice venue! Went there with my wife to see our favorite reggae band Jah Works. They have professional lighting and a couple of huge screens which shows the performers and some other cool stuff. Food was decent and the wait staff were great. I highly recommend this place.

After a recent bad experience at another restaurant, coming here was a breath of fresh air. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. We were greeted right away, seated promptly, and checked on regularly without feeling rushed.

The service was smooth and genuine — you can tell the team actually cares about their guests. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was relaxed, and everything from the food to the customer service exceeded expectations.

It’s clear this restaurant values hospitality, and it definitely showed. We left satisfied and appreciated. This experience truly made up for the disappointing one we had elsewhere — we’ll definitely be back!

We planned a surprise birthday celebration with coworkers at this location, which is usually spacious with plenty of available seating. However, on the day of our celebration, there happened to be four events going on—something we didn’t anticipate based on our past visits.

Upon arrival, I spoke with the restaurant manager, Alex, who was incredibly accommodating. He assured us that he would help if the community tables weren’t enough to seat our group comfortably by restaurant side. Alex and his team went above and beyond—assisting but also graciously accepting an early cake delivery and storing it in the fridge for us.

We had an amazing time and can’t thank the staff enough for their attentiveness and support with all the little details throughout our visit. Kids also had a blast.

Highly recommended!

Went here for a birthday party this weekend. Staff was super nice and accommodating. We had a separate section for our big group. Had a couple catering dishes and they were delicious. Also separately ordered a few individual dishes. Food was definitely decent. Not the best brewery food though. Pizza was really just ok. Nice stage for events. Also it was a really nice viewing set up for watching sports

Quality food and good drinks, quick service and reasonable prices. Packed when we came in with our young kids but the bar manager, Alex, showed us a quiet spot in the back with games for them to play. The patio looks beautiful once the weather gets nice too.

Excellent place for HH. They have Toast tab so everyone can be separate. They have long tables so a large group. They have games like cornhole and pool. The drinks are QUICK. This is the regular HH spot for my job. It’s just so easy. Also lots of parking.

I ordered a Classic Cheesesteak ($16.95) and a Side Caesar Salad ($5.95). I paid in cash, but the restaurant still charged $30 on my debit card. For some reason, the restaurant needed my card to start a tab even though I told them that I am only getting food and that I am paying with cash. The restaurant told me they will place a hold on my card. Instead, they charged my card. I had to dispute the $30 charge with my bank as a result.

UPDATE: The $30 charge was removed from my bank account. The issue has been resolved.

Bartenders Jay and Eric are truly a delight! Both are very personable and hilarious me and my friends will certainly be back!

I was very impressed this time, versus over the last few times I have been. The beer, food and venue itself have greatly improved! It is a great place to go and see a local band play. Can wait to catch another show like tonight's there again soon!
