Very slow and poor service. Mediocre food.

Served rancid (spoiled) pork, even the smell was so bad, it was like ammonia.🤢 Husband ordered a medium cooked hamburger and it was extra well done and dry, hard with the weirdest taste ever. The Fries were soggy and taste like they’ve sat in old oil for weeks, then loaded with salt! We only took a few bites from our dishes. The only upside was Kat our server who was very kind and understanding. Bless her heart. Unfortunately we won’t be returning or recommending.

Pizza was barely cooked and way too much cheese. School cafeteria pizza would be better. And Thursday’s they advertise $15 pizza but after they clarified the deal is only for cheese and pepperoni… will not be returning

Went monday and received our mix drinks and drank them b4 we received our 1 flight of beer. Then the food. Ordered steaks and were told they don't have any steak. Ok ordered pulled pork...we don't have any pulled pork. Ok ordered jagerschnitzel...came overcooked and hard. You say u get your meats in mich 1 1/2 hours away. Should have seen u were getting low on fri sat or Sunday. Unfortunately we won't b back. Oh and 2 people 77.00. Waitress was very apologetic and helpful but should have mentioned no meat available when we were seated. In conclusion I guess call ahead and ask if they have food available

Good place to hang out and try some great beers. The appetizers are amazing. I had some trouble getting the correct beer, but it ended up being OK. I got to try a few different brews.

We went here while out of town last weekend with a group and despite the great reviews, we were extremely disappointed. When we got there we were seated quickly and as we were looking at options, we're told that they were out of wings and Sprite and did not have a remote to have the volume for the football game. We asked the server what they recommended and placed out order. Each party had a separate check and we told the server who was on each one. My husband and I ordered the chili, cheese curds, and Ruben (that was recommended by the server) and a kids mac with sweet potato fries. When the appetizers came out they had the curds and pretzel sticks another party at the table ordered and said our curds were coming shortly. The party with the other appetizers asked for their pretzels to be passed down to the kids. After about 20 minutes, we asked where our curds were and he said he gave the 2nd order to the kids which we did not request and let him k ow but nothig was done. Then someone came out and said they were out of sauerkraut for the Ruben. We also had a member of the group ask or the waiters favorite pilsner on tap only and after waiting they were told they had no pilsner on tap. When the bill came, we were charged the $15 for the cheese curds we ordered but no one in our party got to eat because he gave them to the kids side of the table so we got charged for his mistake. Between that and being out of practically everything we for sure will not be back. $65 for half a sandwich with fries, a bowl of chili, kids mac with fries and a drink. It could have been different if the waiter corrected hos error but charging us for his costly mistake was in no way right.

Nice selection of beers. Their bruschetta was just posted bread with a short of a "Greek" salad... Sorry but no Italian connection there.

Our server was good. The beer was good. We got the Reuben bites as an app and split poutine and a burger for dinner.

The Reuben bites were very tasty and cooked well. I really enjoy the bacon sauerkraut.
The burger however was really disappointing. The bun was really burnt and totally overpowered everything else. For a $20 cheeseburger I’m surprised it was allowed to leave the kitchen.
The poutine had good flavor. The gravy was cooler than I’d prefer so maybe it was sitting out too long while the burger cooked or something.

If you are looking to just have a beer, this place is pretty good. If you are looking for a meal, I recommend going somewhere else. My wife and I have tried it 3 times, and every time the fries were undercooked and cold. Burger was very greasy but not terrible. Overall, good beer, bad food.

Tried several beers and all were very good! Burger was very good, but Jagerschnitzel was a disappointment.
