“We arrived about an hour before the kitchen closed. Our table ordered the ribeye with mashed potatoes, hot wings with a side of fries, and a brisket sandwich with onion rings. The ribeye was well-seasoned and very good, and the overall flavor of the food was great. However, I found a few stray green beans underneath the meat. If they were an intentional part of the meal, the presentation didn't make that clear, so I'm not sure whether they were meant to be there. The hot wings had a good level of spice, and the person who ordered them enjoyed them. Personally, I would have liked to see more color and caramelization on the wings. A little more browning would deepen and enhance the flavors already present. The side of fries ordered with the wings arrived on a saucer-sized plate, making for a surprisingly small portion for an additional side. It seemed a little odd, although the person who ordered it didn't complain. The onion rings were typical of a premade product rather than fresh, house-soaked and battered onion rings. I also tried their darkest beer. The flavor was decent, with coffee and chocolate notes coming through, but for a brewery's stout, it felt surprisingly weak. The alcohol content seemed low, and while it was nice to try, I wouldn't order a second one, much less a growler. Coming from Montana, where microbreweries seem to be about every five miles, I'm always glad to find a brewery while traveling. Craft brewing doesn't seem to be as established in this area, though, and this experience didn't quite measure up to what I'm accustomed to back home.”
