We had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Our waitress Riley was super friendly and knowledgeable. She offered us suggestions and let us know all the little ways they make their food and drinks so good. We had an orange Creamsicle drink, buffalo chicken dip, chicken quesadilla and custom Stromboli. The cook hand delivered the food and made sure everything was fantastic. We will most definitely be back.

My family and myself are frequents at this amazing hole in the wall. The waitresses and chef all knew us by name after the second time we ate there. Everyone is incredibly friendly, and the food is always delicious!

Inhospitable service, too busy gossiping to talk about the beer or food. When they did comment on their work environment it was to criticize the owner about inability to decorate or accept help. A regular said how good the soup was and the staff immediately talked about how terrible and gross it was in ear shot. Will not ever return.

Great hometown brewery. Carla was fantastic, I had a pizza and some homemade onion rings, they reminded me of a blooming onion! Food and beer was good and reasonably priced, service was friendly and quick! Don't hesitate to stop and give them a try!

Pizza was great.
Onion rings were great.
Service was great.

Atmosphere is - spartan.

No need to get too fancy, but at least put some pictures on the walls and get some fake plants or something.

Great place, great beer and really good onion rings, and a huge portion for only $5!

It was our 1st time there, and we will definitely stop again when in the area. Hopefully, we will have time for a full dinner, all of the food looked great.

We were on our way back from Renshaw’s Pumpkin Festival and my husband found this place. Let me tell you. MAKE THE STOP. Go out of your way. It is a friendly atmosphere and the flight of beer was a fantastic way to try different types. The pizza, brisket, and pasta were all to die for. The best part was… no coloring pages.. they had FAMILY games for the kids. It was a fantastic place and wonderful atmosphere to end the great day we had. We live far away, but will make the trip back to eat here often.
