It tasted pretty good, but they put on such a small amount of meat that 1/3 bites were just onions, bread, and a little cheese if you were lucky. The fries were a little stale but not that bad still with a little salt and

The General Manager sat around and stared out the window while his servers were being absolutely crushed by large stations.

Waited over 45 min for our food. I had the jalapeño burger with cheese curds on side. Was great until I bite into a bread bag, plastic tie, that was in my burger. No compensation for a lack of kitchen control. Don't know if I'll ever go back.

Just left. They were short staffed and we understand that but the guy working was so rude. We asked for a booth because a high top with seniors can be tough. He was obviously mad and throwing things around. After no one came to the table after several minutes we got up and left. Others in the restaurant mentioned to us they noticed how terrible the behavior was. They did say the food was good. Too bad we didn't stay. A simple hello and sorry we are short staffed would have made all the difference.

Very let down by the speed of service and cleanliness of the entire restaurant. We arrived with a group of 12 to a fairly empty place but it took a solid 20 minutes to be greeted and another 20 minutes to get our drink order in. No "Sorry, Im the only one on currently" explanation to even provide an expectation (which we would totally understand given the group worked in the industry as well) - especially since it was clear there was only 1 server, 1 bartender, and 1 manager. Tables remained dirty for the 2+ hours we were there - pictures provided. Food thankfully was above average and came somewhat promptly but took another 45 minutes to get our bill once we were ready.TLDR: Understaffed and underwhelming.

Food was good. Service was pretty bad. Slow to get ordered and slow to get food.

I’m Celiac and was able to have a gluten free burger with amazing sauce! Only thing that would make it better is a dedicated gluten free fryer.

We were promptly & cheerfully greeted and seated. Our server was VERY pleasant, and seemed quite genuine (not a fake smile, nor a false, sugar-sweet voice). Our server was also attentive, without being overly so. Food was delicious, and servings were slightly more than ample. The atmosphere was pleasant, and quiet enough for us to have a good conversation. This was a relaxing, pleasant experience.

I had a flight of all their ciders, seltzers and fruity stuff and they were all delicious! I was pleased to have a chicken and avocado sandwich option- trying to eat healthier.

Came in to have a late lunch and watch the Iowa vs MN women’s basketball game. I had read this was a place Iowa fans frequent. No TVs had game on. Place had # of available seats and multiple TVs, some on same channels. Asked hostess if the game would be on. She said no. Asked it she could put it on, again no. So we left and took our business to Brothers who were more than happy to accommodate us. Will not support an establishment that only is willing to have men’s sports on.

We have eaten here twice and both times ALL was excellent! The first time I had their teriyaki chicken bowl and my husband had the garlic aioli burger. Second time I had the crispy chicken wrap and he had the butter grind bacon jam burger! All so delicious!! I should've taken pictures. The atmosphere is great and the service superb. As one reviewer noted, it has a sports bar atmosphere but you can definitely bring your children. They even have shakes!! I think we found a new place! Thank you!

I thought this place was astonishing. The atmosphere for family or sports lovers is amazing. The beer selection is fantastic, food is fantastic, and the service was right up there. Excellent place to go for a semi-casual dinner. Thank you lots for the great experience!
