Food was great! Libby was our server. For someone who doesn’t drink, her recommendation was right on target.

This place is a hidden gem! We're from out of town so we had never been there before. Elizabeth was our server and told us it used to be an old ammunitions factory in WW1! Lots of cool things to look at while you wait! The wait wasn't long for our food. Our server recommended the turkey club and it was delicious! She also went down the beer list and helped us pick a selection of amazing new beers they offered and we were able to try a few until we found one we loved. You can even take their house made beers home! Over all a very pleasant experience and very worth the visit!

Staying in town at an Airbnb they recommended this restaurant. Who doesn’t like an old factory turned into apartments in a restaurant atmosphere really like it. The Bluegrass bourbon burger I had was cooked perfectly. It was really delicious. The seasoned fries I mean nothing really to write home about but the burger was fantastic. They are like most businesses currently shorthanded. After we sat down, we waited far too long for anyone to greet us and get drink orders. Which would’ve been fine except a table set after us was addressed by the server before we were and we had been there at least five to ten minutes before them. Being a larger party, I wasn’t crazy about that cause that means our food timing is getting pushed back further than the slow service already. The section we were in seemed to have no set server. The server at the other table then came over to us and we ordered drinks and food in one shot. Someone different brought our food. No one ever came to talk to check on us not at all. I had to wave down a different server to get a drink refill. I had to wave down yet another different server to get our check. The service was a fail, though the atmosphere was interesting and the burger was great.

This is a very off the path brew pub. Sitting on the bike trail it has ample n parking among the apartments. The beer list is lengthy as it should be and the food options do not dissapoint. Cheese curds, wings, and a killer fried chicken sandwich were all fantastic. The surprise star was the sweet potato fries which were superbly seasoned. Get a beer flight and try a few of the styles.

We’re locals so we go in on week nights and weekends too. Food is great and wife likes the drink selection. Service is slow. We try to be understanding but it’s been like this for at least 6 months or longer. Carry out orders are difficult to place for evenings if you’re calling in. I’ve got to the voicemail multiple times. We’ve gone elsewhere because of less than good service time.

Tried this place out coming off the bike trail.. atmosphere was great! Service was alright not great.. Food looked delicious so we ordered and were so disappointed! Pepperoni pizza barely had pepperoni! Bbq chicken pizza wanted to love it but went home feeling sick! Don’t recommend!

My service last night was excellent. I had brady and he recommended the hot honey chicken sandwich which did not disappoint. I had the freakbeat to drink which was a good IPA. I could tell brady had a lot on his plate with many tables but he gave great service with a smile on his face. Will be back for the beer and the service! Thanks again

Service is ATROCIOUS. The bartender is rude and their food is mediocre. Never going back.

What I experienced tonight, I’m not sure they even WANT to serve anyone.

Be prepared to stand around at the host desk waiting to be seated (even if you are the only one in line) … I truly don’t think anyone that worked there tonight cares.

Sunday 8/30/25. Waited 20-30 mins before we wondered if we were supposed to be ordering ourselves at the bar. Asked someone who then sent a waiter to our table. He took drink orders. The bartender promptly poured them, then we watched them sit at the bar for another 20 minutes before someone else (not our waiter) delivered them to our table. My beer was empty before the waiter finally stopped by for the second time in the hour we had been seated to finally take our food orders, so we then ordered food and another round of drinks. Second round of drinks took just as long. Food took almost an hour and came out one item at a time, 5-10 mins apart. We eventually cancelled the last item we ordered as it had been 2.5 hours since we arrived and were now chasing daylight for our 10 mile bike ride back. In the time we were there, I witnessed one table wait almost an hour before drink orders were taken (they took had to flag someone down). Also witnessed a group simply get up and leave after not being served. Awful communication all around, no acknowledgement that things were backed up and would be a bit longer, and frankly if it didn't take 45 minutes to get a drink between the waiter taking our order and the drink finally being delivered to our table, I happily would have enjoyed a few beers while we waited 2 hours for food. Perhaps they were short staffed and I empathize for the workers trying to navigate whatever the situation was, but it was all handled extremely poorly. Whoever is supposed to be managing this place needs to get their act together.

On the positive side, the beer is good. The service, not so much.

Very shortstaffed and the staff they did have needed training. Once seated we placed our drink order along with a few appetizers. Took 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive, at least, all but one, that one took another 20 minutes to arrive even after asking about it. Took 40 minutes for the appps to come out, again - missing one of them. They were fine, nothing special - pretzels, pickle chips and some other chip. We placed our dinner orders shortly after - mind you we would have been happy to place the order earlier, but no wait staff ever checked on us. After the order was in - again, no contact - no checking on drinks - still missing one! - no nothing. We had been sitting about 1.5 hours when food arrived, and it arrived COLD. Okay, some of my food was luke warm, but some was actually cold - how long did it sit in the kitchen? And on top of that, one meal was missing. We had to literally grab someone to check on the meal, I literally held the water pitcher in the air until someone finally came to fill it. We walked to the bar to get our own drinks. There was a person who might have been the manager, but they stayed out of sight hiding - no help for sure. And to top it off, they didnt even offer any discount or anything - brought out the full bill, no apologies. Needless to say, we wont be back.

I’ve been multiple times and tonight was absolutely terrible. I had a reservation, and even then we waited over 30 minutes before anyone came to take our order. We had to walk up and ask who our server was. We then were able to order and then it took another 35 min before our food come. After finishing our drinks we waited for our server and after an hour and a half at our table we finally had to go ask for boxes and the check. The server then walked past our table to take others orders and didn’t bring our boxes… after about 15 more min we flagged him down for our check and boxes. He said it was his second day- if this is true, he should have been with a trainer. He was DROWNING and no one helped him. And every single customer was dissatisfied. As we walked out a table behind us said “we’ve waited over an hour and no one has come”. This is the worst service I’ve EVER had… I feel bad for the sever if this was his second day, he was truly drowning.
