Met some friends here for lunch. Everything was great. We ordered from the brunch menu, and the chicken and waffles was some of the best I've ever had!

A little on the pricey side but very good food and friendly wait staff. Would definitely go again.

We found this place using Google AI prompting for a brew pub walking distance to a hotel along our travel route. What a find! We will be coming back.
Yes like a 2 block walk from the Doubletree.
The building is a refurbished train station. So the inside is really cool. High ceilings, station architecture - they did a nice job preserving the building. But enough of the building and on to beer and food.
Problems with the keg cooling system so not too many beers on tap. But no matter, because they have their offerings in cans.
We ordered the Hayzeey IPA, Saucony Creek Lager, and Unicorns Hazy IPA. The Hazeey has a light flair to it. You definitely taste the hops but not over powering. I found it really drinkable and at less than 7% you can have more than one! As an IPA fan I had to try the Unicorns IPA. The description lent itself to a heaviness that I was skeptical to try. But no, a fav for me! It’s a light IPA with nice flavor. I don’t mean light in the marketing sense of light but rather just not as heavy as I was expecting. Very tasty indeed!
My husband had the lager which was a really nice drinkable beer. He had a few of those.
Service was really fast and friendly and our waitress Mia was great!
Live music now, Tres Hombres, and they are great. Music from The Monkees to the Foo Fighters!
For dinner I had the Miyagi bowl - lots of food, totally splittable for 2. It came with a huge piece of tofu and an abundance of veggies. My hubby had the Turkey Rachel with fries. He described his sandwich as very good! And the fries were steakfries. Also very good.
I took a pic of my dinner but only after I dug in and thought ooh I should post a pic of this. So please don’t judge the bowl by my partially eaten bowl.
All in all a wonderful experience and a call out to the host. What a cool guy! Would love to package his look and aura!
And final edit - what a really nice Women’s room: large, clean, and a variety of hand lotions and femininely products for use! This nicety has not gone unnoticed!

Slowest experience of my life. I have never left a Google review before but I came with a party of four when there were no more than 10 tables sat inside. We were greeted by the NICEST man. The experience is downhill from there. They have bad beers and slow service. In the span of two hours, our group sat mainly with empty drinks watching the bartenders work with no output. When a member of our table asked for an espresso martini the server said yes, then proceeded to tell us that they do not have an espresso martini. I am currently sitting here with a table full of empty glasses, 2 drink tickets that have been at the bar for 40+ minutes, and no hopeful outlook for the rest of my time spent here.

What a cool place! It is an absolutely gorgeous space, and when we came they had a very talented singer playing. The manager also jumped on the microphone and did awesome! The food was pretty good, the cocktails were delicious, and we loved the low seats with the refurbished train station benches. I bet sitting outside on the patio is gorgeous when it’s warm outside.

We liked this place. It's nice to see the old train station renovated. Food was above average, service excellent. With all the hard wall surfaces it might be noisy with a larger crowd. Nice rainbow when we left.

We had a late reservation, ordered food . Not long after we were told they ran out of mashed potatoes, then waited an hour for the food to be brought out. The place is really nice inside . I would try again, maybe it was an odd night! Drinks were above average really good

We didn't order appetizers & then waited about an hour to receive our entrees. We ordered Pan Seared Salmon & Trainstop Smothered Chicken both with mashed potatoes & balsamic Brussel sprouts. Food was not hot, salmon did not appear to be pan seared, over salted & Brussel sprouts were burnt! Despite thar the waitstaff & manager were extremely nice & discounted our meals, we would have preferred to pay full price with an enjoyable dining experience.

It was cool to see since it's an old trai station, but the inside was so loud, given the high ceilings, and the bar was messy.
