“I’m only in town for a week, but have already been here twice since it’s short trip from where I’m staying and I enjoy a good brew pub. Ate at the bar both times. Food and service were 💯both times. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the supreme pizza. Meatloaf was great, pizza’s ok. I tried both their hazy beers and the Freedom and Founders IPAs, all good choices. I’m planning on bringing my husband for my 3rd visit before heading home. Looking forward to having the Stroganoff pasta on my next visit. Would highly recommend for food and craft beer selections.“

“Nice, chill location. the food was good. I ordered the 10pc wings with fries. I don't recommend getting the honey mustard sauce. it's the cost of a drink🥴, literally. Why something the same size as ranch or blue cheese costs the same as a drink (while the ranch and blue cheese don't cost extra), I'm not sure. If you're like me and don't eat ranch or blue cheese, bring your own honey mustard. other than that, I highly recommend.“

There is also a campus located in South Korea, which can be cheaper for in-state students to attend for a semester there vs domestically. With the current climate I’m even more proud to have gone here. 💚“

Everything from taking our orders, to checking in on us periodically, to just having conversations with us about the food. We got the seafood scramble, catfish and grits, and thick cut brioche, and wings Everything was 100/10. We also tried every cocktail on the bottomless drink menu and they were amazing!

“The best banana pudding milkshake out of any place we've been to, and it's not even close. The California burger was amazing and perfectly made. This is a must-try place, especially if you've never been before! It was our first time, and we absolutely loved it! The only issue was the size of the fries; they are on the smaller side, but that did not affect the taste. We just wished they were bigger.“
