“This place is a treat where everything is delicious. I've never had a beet in my life, tried the Beat Juice and it was wonderful. I've never ordered the same meal as I'm confident that whatever I pick will be fresh, delicious, convenient, and prepared the way I request. I still have more to try and am looking forward to next experience. This has become a go-to place for me.”

“I was flying solo this weekend and wanted a nice dinner and experience! Kruse's Deer Lake Inn did not disappoint. I chose from the Flavors of Fall on the menu (pick two) 😋 The stuffed shrimp was prepared perfectly (tender), and the baked shrimp and scallops were delicious. The pilaf pleasantly surprised me and was very good (pilaf is something I would have never ordered but it was the side for the pick two). I also had a Martha's Vineyard salad add tomatoes (not pictured)! I look forward to stopping in again soon!”

“My family used the Game Room 2/23/25 for a Memorial Gathering for my brother, Andrew Clark. Though the reason for the occasion was a somber one, the Game Room was perfect in atmosphere, size, amenities, and decor! Food was top notch, service superior with our 2 bartenders who kept dishes clear and beverages flowing. Erin, the manager was a jewel to work with! She answered questions and offered suggestions and took every phone call with grace and sincerity. I would highly recommend Buck Shots Bar and Grill for any reason to get together with family and friends! Sheryl Greene, 2/25/25”

“The Fed Community offered an amazing experience with excellent food and top-notch service, all in a relaxed yet elevated setting. The ambiance made it perfect for a quiet romantic dinner, making the evening even better. Everyone from the floor managers to the Chef checked in frequently on us, and Levi provided excellent service. On the food: everything had a great balance of flavors, textures, and presentation. We started off with bread service, all freshly baked, clam chowder soup and Spanish Octopus, followed by perfectly seared scallops. The Gnocchi Saltado also blew me away with the perfectly tender yet firm gnocchi and woodfire grilled tenderloin tips. For sweet endings we finished with a delicate Banofee Pie and the their Opera cake; kudos to their pastry Chef and team for these as well! We came for a quiet night out, and left with great memories! This was well worth the trip, and we'll be back soon. I apologize for not having any pictures, but I was too busy soaking it all in.”

“Love this place. Always great food and service. To the lady that left her purse there for how long?Six weeks? Honchos should have charged you a storage fee. You can't blame others for your lack of responsibility. You are slandering their business for something YOU did. How would you feel if someone slandered your husband's ophthalmology business over something he didn't do?”

Everything you need for your daily sip or a big social gathering. The walls of spirits is like being in one of those great whiskey cars that you see online and there’s depth in every section - Whiskey, Tequila, Mezcal, Gin, Rum, Vodka and lots more. The hot food counter serves up fantastic pizza and pizza slices that are perfect for a quick bite or a large gathering.”

“My husband and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Parker’s Hilltop Brewery, and it was absolutely fantastic! We worked with Kara, who helped us book the private room and coordinate our food selections. We had pizzas, mostacholi, rolls, and salad, and everything tasted incredible—our guests were very satisfied as well. Kara was extremely responsive and wonderful to work with, answering all of my questions and making the process seamless. The service during our dinner was excellent, and we have also dined at Parker’s Hilltop before and are never disappointed. I highly recommend this brewery for any dining experience—the food, service, and atmosphere are always top-notch!”
