We stopped in on a whim after hearing about the spot on the Southside. The sandwiches were okay but not anything that knocked us over. The pasta salad was a 50/50 at the table with some of us really liking it and others saying that they could take it or leave it. The Bourbon Pork was pretty tasty and the Mac n Cheese was a hit. The desserts were a bit much for what we received (skip them next time). The flight was overpriced even for this area. There are better options with better brews in the area. Final point: The food was alright but wasn't anything to go out of the way to stop over.

Was super excited to drive the 30 minutes here versus South Side. Unfortunately, food was inedible but service isn’t bad. Atmosphere is fun.However, after $2 upgrades per dinner for fries on 2 meals totaling $50 + tip accompanying 1 beer each, we weren’t impressed. There was only 1 fry between 2 plates that looked remotely like the photos on the Facebook page. There was only 1 person serving the bar and all the tables, but wait times weren’t bad.Not a place we’ll return to but good luck guys.

My wife and I came to the Cranberry location for the first time this evening and were highly disappointed. I ordered some sort of bacon cheeseburger with egg and she got burger sliders. The burgers were average at best as far as flavor goes. No seasoning on the burgers. We were asked if we wanted to “upgrade to fries for $2” as they don’t come with fries. We both said yes. When our meals came out, the fries were almost black. They weren’t overcooked, but were cooked in old grease. They weren’t the typical golden color that you expect fries to be and what is posted on their website when showing the food. You can taste the burnt old oil that was used. My wife ate 3 fries and couldn’t eat anymore. I ate the few that looked somewhat normal. If it is supposed to be some sort of privilege to upgrade to fries for extra money, then we shouldn’t have to eat fries that were cooked in old oil. My wife’s sliders were overcooked. She ended up bringing them home and giving them to our dog. The beer list is very small, which is fine…but to pay $9 and $7 for a 10oz beer is a little excessive.
Unfortunately our overall experience was very underwhelming to say the least. We live about 40 minutes away and was excited to try this place out for the first time, but if this is what is being served then we unfortunately won’t be coming back. The atmosphere of the restaurant wasn’t too bad. There was 1 other table and a guy at the bar, as well as what appeared to be a gathering in the back room. Which wouldn’t indicate that the restaurant was busy and it was just a mistake.

So good, especially after a long drive. Ordered the Jack Sparrow burger. You know a burger is good when they have to kill it twice. Beers on tap are good! We tried the 5150 and Elsinore - both made by Smiling Moose. Can’t go wrong.

Quirky and cool spot. Interesting menu but enjoyable. Good selection of drinks. I got the grilled cheese with a pieorgi on it and hand cut fries. Def a first.

The food is so mediocre- everything sounds good on the menu but we got the Cuban it was lunch meat for ham and some pulled pork on Texas toast and we ordered the jack sparrow burger and our waitress put the order in wrong- so it was meat and cheese with a pierogi on it and had no flavor. She didn't bother to put a new order in so I ate it anyway. They "lost" my boyfriend sandwich so his came after the rest of us were done eating. The carrot ginger soup tasted like baby food. The worst part was the service though. The waitress gave 0 F's that she screwed up (she also split the bills wrong, asked our friend his "seat number" and forgot beer). The bar manager was the only one who looked like he cared. Overall crappy experience so we won't be back.

Food is always on point… never had a bad thing here and the beer is pretty good too. Good service, not much else to say… gold standard of a restaurant/bar.

The beer was 5 star- 6x State Champ says it all! The food a solid 4 . The food was limited due to running out of items but the apple grilled cheese was good and the pasta side was surprisingly very good. The service at the bar from Laura was 5 star- professional, attentive, and helpful with merch. A fun bar experience if you are in the area. Love the logo!

Everything we had was excellent; the fried zucchini was fresh and crispy, we asked for marinara on the side as it was described as house made and definitely was.We had two burgers as well, and sides of waffle fries, macaroni and cheese, and pasta salad. The burger patties were delicious and well seasoned and juicy.The manager/cook took extra care when we identified an allergy in our party and sat down and talked through the menu with us. We will definitely return soon.

Food was fricking banging! Got the Kevin Bacon Burger and mozz sticks, highly recommend! Staff was super friendly - even though there wasn't an empty seat in the house, AJ made it a great experience! Coffee break was also phenomenal!

Smiling Moose was SO good! I went on a Saturday around 12:30. I was surprised to see a driving range right behind it. I need to come back in warm weather. We were seated immediately. They had a good variety of beers on the menu- I chose the hazy ipa- 5150. It was tasty! They had specials on the food menu but I chose the pierogi grilled cheese off their regular menu. It was SO good!!!! OMG the carmelized onions on it were to die for. I would definitely order it again. All of our food came out quickly and the waitress was super nice. I definitely will be returning!
