Used to be nice and affordable. Now just overpriced and don't allow food from outside.

Stopped in on Saturday around 530pm. Staff were all friendly and prompt. Had a beer and smoked old fashioned. The smoked old fashioned was fine, not great. We ordered food to go and this is why 2 stars knocked off. We got the chicken in a pickle pizza, cheese bread w the spicy honey and marinara and a Nashville chicken sandwich. It took a bit for the items to arrive. Unfortunately they chose to give us pizza and bread completely burnt on the bottom. We get that wood fired will have some charred spots - but not the whole bottom. Very disappointed. The honey jalepeno was really tasty, definitely should get w the bread. Chicken sandwich and fries were good. The chicken was pounded thinner and much longer than how it used to be at the reo town location. But still good. Live music on Saturday Eve.

Waited 45 minutes for a half pep and mushroom and half cheese pizza. Came burnt without mushrooms. We sent it back. We got a raw pizza the second time around. My daughter wouldn’t eat it because it was off. I ate it and now I’m puking my guts out. The beer is good. DONT EAT THE FOOD.

Delish food and drink. Ordered a hazy beer (I think it was called Morally Compromised) and bourbon sour. Reuben and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Both very tasty. Note that the Reuben was spicy but I loved it. Chill atmosphere. Ate outside with oldies music playing.

Want to get in touch with a brewery? Sit a few metres from the tanks where your beer is made? Industrial style rustic place with nice staff AND a food truck (not every day). Big Yay! BTW, the craft beer is awasome and consistent. You will see me here as often as opportunity permits. Update. Big. Food truck is now permanent and has expanded their casual but good menu. Enclosed outdoor patio replaced tha igloo, big deal! Now more music and comedy events. Both questionable. Music is very loud indoors so it is hard to communicate. But the comedy appears to attract a crowd, so it's probably just me. Oh. The Bingo/quiz had the coolest intelligent questions that were at least somewhat Google-proof. High five for that! We are always back, but will start making a fuss about the indoors volume.

Update: A friend told us that Ellison's does look good. Few customers. While I don't drink beer anymore we still like local business. We took the entire family and visitors there. Apparently the beer is as good as it used to be. The food was abysmal. Onion rings and pickles fried to death. Pizzas overbaked. I assume this is why we had to wait for over an hour. And remember,this place was the opposite of crowded. Sad to see this going down.

Average food, above average wait time. An hour and a half above average wait time.

The beer was okay. The olive burger was cream cheese. ?

Ordered nachos. Over a half hour later they came out soggy and lukewarm. The beer was ok. Not worth the price and terrible service. There are better bars and food all over.
