We ordered shrimp & grits (barely any grits on my plate and mostly bbq sauce. should not have been served with shrimp tails on with that type of dish and ill-prepared beet salad with very dry salmon. Neither one of our dishes were impressionable and definitely not worth over $20 each. Drinks were mediocre. Music entertainers were way too loud for that small of a restaurant. I'm a local but won't be returning. Our $100 meal was not worth the money we paid. Very disappointed. Truffle frites were fairly good but need more seasoning.

Table of 4. This is the 3rd time we have waited for more than 15 minutes to even receive any service. Our friend arrived 10 minutes before us. He was never greeted nor received menus or even asked for a drink order. When we arrived we waited another 15 for the same. Eventually I had to walk up and ask if we had a server. I had been in the industry for 10 years previously and helped open 2 restaurants and managed 1. It seems that it is hit or miss on service here (as of late mostly miss). The food has been consistently good. Our sever only went to 1 table at a time with piece meal orders that were dropped off. He never came back for refills or ask us about our meal. I had to go to the bar to order more drinks. Appetizers came out more than 1/2 an hour after we ordered them and when the food came out it was 2 meals first. Followed by the 3rd 8 minutes later then the final meal 15 minutes after that. The first 2 were finished eating, and the 3rd person was almost finished when the last meal came out. Total dinner time was over 2 hours from start to finish of which the last 15 is when the final meal came out. That table should have been turned over twice in that time. More proft for restaurant and more tips for servers. I blame management and lack of proper training. It is restaurant 101. Servers should great every table within 2 minutes of seating for drink order. After dropping off drinks suggest Appetizers. Circle to other tables in their station. Give each table time to look at menu. Circle back to every table each time you go to any table in your section and ask how things are, offer refills, clear old plates or glasses and sell more. If you can't let the tables know. The higher the bill the higher your tips. Sell, sell, sell. All the food should come to the table at the same time. Of course there are exceptions to this. Wrong order, not right, etc.. If you are short staffed management or owner should jump in where needed. Cooking, expediting bartending, clering plates/glasses or dropping off food or drinks Of course no cell phones while working. It should be a dining experience with the goal of turning a table over ever hour. Your strong servers should get more tables. If they are in the weeds help out. Please raise the bar on service and train the staff properly. I want to come back but it is becoming harder and harder for me each time.

I was inspired to come here by a picture a reviewer posted from 4 days ago. This was a mistake - although their beer selection and beer flights are good, their salad is good, everything else was “meh” at best.Not only could the waitress not identify what I wanted when I showed the review picture and tried to order it, their best guess was *flagrantly* wrong, nothing like the picture at all.A Rueben and a hot dog took 45+ minutes to come out, and we were there at 3pm with the restaurant not crowded at all. Although flavorful, the Reuben was pretty light on meat, mostly kraut. The plate was mostly fries. Hot dog was similar - flavorful kraut and dressing, meat and bread were just grocery store quality, plate mostly fries and ultimately not satisfying for the price.Service was “meh,” barely saw her except at beginning and end, and once again, couldn’t identify a meal their restaurant served a mere 4 days ago.Overall, between the wait, meat deficit, service, and quality-for-price it’s a solid “meh” experience - 3 stars.

I'm just lucky to live in an area with such good food so close.Absolutely the most pleasant staff ever, and the food is amazing. It was cold and wet out today, and their Texas chilli hit the spot, desert was great too. If you havent stopped in here before you really need to. Parking is in the back.

Super cute little place! Lucked upon this place while traveling to Gettysburg for lunch.Highlights:- Really good food!- Plenty of TVs all set to a different sport.- Diverse draft beer selection.Ordered the loaded Weiner, my guy got the mustard version. Easily the best dog I've ever had! The pretzel bun totally stood up to the chilli, regular cheese and beer cheese with style.Service was delightful.The place is not too big, about a dozen tables inside with about 15 places at the bar. Outside has an awesome bar and I imagine that it's the place to be in warmer weather.We'll definitely see if our detour takes us this way again.
