So good! Love the patio!!

It's good with a nice selection of beers that are fairly over priced as is the food. Sandwiches come with nothing, no fries or chips, you need to add those, which makes it not a very good value.

My wife and I LOVE coming here for our date nights! The service is fantastic. Tonight, we had Shannon taking care of us, and I'd give her 10 stars if Google would let me. We're coming back tomorrow if Shannon is working.

Ben is a fantastic bartender. He tended to our needs while my fiance and I were waiting for our table. Very professional and accommodating. Make sure to ask for BEN @ the bar.

Over the past 3 years, my girlfriend and I have been to the Stilt House just short of a dozen times. This has been our favorite spot, particularly for the calamari and a good burger.

Unfortunately, I don’t know the next time we will visit. Out of our 9 visits to the Stilt House, 3 of those visits have had a polar opposite experience from the rest.

On 3 separate occasions now, the food has been awful. Most recently, I paid 15$ for a chicken maple bacon sandwhich, and got a cold, kids-sized sandwhich on a value bun from the grocery store with bacon that was clearly old and cold. This has happened to me twice with this exact menu item. To top it off, our calamari was soggy, and we had guests in town that we had hyped this place up to.

They were extremely disappointed (one ordered the bulldog burger which was cold, and we got another chicken sandwhich that looked the same as mine, with shrimp tacos that were overcooked.

We know how good the food is at this place, but if you get it on a bad night, it’s a very unpleasant meal. The definition of hit or miss, as when the food is good, it is some of the best you can find in the area.

We have never had an issue with service here, always friendly and polite.

EDIT/UPDATE: Gordon, the owner, reached out to us personally and made things right with us, covering our bill from our poor experience and inviting us to try his other restaurant. While this doesn’t erase our experience, it does emphasize the point I made on how our service has always been great, and we will be back for more. I will boost this review from 3 original stars to 4 stars for making things right.

FINAL EDIT/UPDATE: After receiving a voucher from the owner to return to the Stilt House, we went back for a meal. Once again, the food was sub-par. We did take pictures this time. Our apps were good (calamari was cooked crispy this time, and the sauce they serve it with is delicious. We also got the sliders which were good).

However, the sweet potato fries we ordered were off…they had an odd texture, almost like a stale chip. They were room temperature and under-seasoned. The beer cheese fries were under cooked, under seasoned, and the beer cheese was gritty and luke-warm. My girlfriend ordered the southwest chicken salad, which came out with rubbery overcooked chicken, with what looked like black beans that were just rinsed from the can and added to the salad. The dressing tasted like thousand island mixed with taco seasoning. My sandwhich came out fine, but this type of inconsistency is what will keep us away from the Stilt House in the future.

It is worth noting the staff removed the items from the bill. We have always received great service here, but after embarrassing ourselves with guests coming into town, and then having a poor experience again after receiving a gift voucher, we cannot justify keeping this restaurant in our local rotation. We have now had 4 poor experiences here in the last few years of visiting. Worth every penny if you get it on a good night, but it sure can be disappointing if you don’t.

Great to sit outside by the creek. The waitress was great. The menu could be improved but a lot of sandwhiches. The cocktails were awesome.

Came here for the first time and had a great experience. My friends and I came during the harvest festival so it was busy but we were sat right away and had prompt service. I was impressed by their cocktail menu and ordered the Lavender Haze which was so delicious. Great taste and mouthfeel. I should’ve ordered a second one.

Food options were diverse and had items for pretty much everyone! I would definitely recommend and come back if I’m in the area again.

I've been here on numerous occasions and have loved it every single time. It's a staple for sure! They always have the best beer options for flights, incredible flatbreads, and a great atmosphere.
