It comes with a side and I chose onion rings. So this was pretty good. It was hot and fresh and the cheese was melty.

There are a few outdoor seats if you want to eat here. Most people were taking it to-go. The liquor store next door gets a lot of action. Reasonable prices. Ask for extra napkins!

As was the case last time, the food itself was delicious... it definitely handled the cheesesteak craving. I did find it off putting to pay a $.60 up-charge to add on mayo and then another $.60 for lettuce at a sandwich place. When I pointed out their menu indicated mayo specifically had no fee, the lady curtly told me that it did. As last time, the sandwich was very good, though a bit overpriced at $12-$13 per pop - especially if they're charging extra for just dressing their subs with lettuce and mayo. 4 stars for food quality. Minus 1 star for silly monetary practices, here. It's also worth pointing out that their original does Not come with green peppers, as their photo here depicts.

We arrived and were seated promptly, the dining room was pretty full, but they had plenty of wait staff from what I observed. They have changed it up a bit since our last visit quite a bit ago. They no longer have the counter in the back to order and its more table service with a cash register and order station more for to-go and ice cream. Lilly was our server and she was really sweet and checked in on us regularly. Refilled the tea glasses often and helped answer questions. We were able to do individual checks by couple so we could use our passports. Each couple ordered an appetizer; we went with the provel bites. They were smaller than they appeared in the pictures I saw but there were quite a few in the order. They were a table favorite! Buffalo boneless chicken wings were also very good, as was the ranch that came with them. The onion rings were HUGE! They were decent, I like skinny ones so they were just not my type. I ordered the house salad with no cheese, it came out correct and had mixed greens, onion, tomato, cucumbers, and croutons. I ordered the small and it was still a good size. My pizza choice was Margarita, it is becoming a habit! This one was good, puffy, chewy crust and a good amount of toppings to compliment, I dipped the crust in ranch - only if the ranch is good! Husband got a chicken sandwich and he said it was good. I forgot to say they still have the live planters with lettuce and basil and maybe other things, pretty cool. The service was good and the food was good, we will come back

He got home and they made the wrong one for me and my husbands was a hot sandwich. We drive all the way back up there to have them fixed. So we get there and tell them what happened. The worker said they aren't allowed to remake sandwiches and gave me attitude. I asked for the manager. The "manager" some 16 yr old girl comes out. I tell her we want them remade because his is now cold and mine was wrong. She looked dumbfounded. She said I could only get something remade if it was wrong. I said well it is!!! Are u not hearing me. Finally I place the receipt on the counter as she picks apart both sandwiches like I'm lying. Finally agrees to remake mine. I said well it's been over a half an hour and my husbands is no longer good or hot. She gave me crap about remaking that one. I said well I'm not leaving without my sandwiches or a refund. She finally says fine just remake them. They took the receipt to see what they were and first thing started making a 6 inch when it was a footling. I had to correct them like they are literally looking at the receipt! Are u kidding me. Not to mention the attitude. When it was all said and done he tried to keep my receipt. I said um no that is mine. I will be putting in a complaint on this store and the workers. The worst ever. I can see why no one wants to give there money to them especially when u can get a way better sandwich for the same price without the bull crap and attitude.

I really liked this place. This brewery has a great vibe, is HUGE, good service, yummy food, tasty beer and considering it was a cold, icky night when we went - there was more people there than I would have thought. My smash melt was so good. Messy but a good type of messy. It was also a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. The shepherds pie was really runny. A spoon was definitely the utensil of choice but the flavor was spot on. I struggled to get up the stairs because of my knees (both are new) and it appears to be the only stairs so I had to wait for some servers to go up (& vice versa) but when we got up there it was very cool. Honestly, this place is huge. I cannot stress that enough. There was a big party next to us and I watched how they were waited on...because sometimes big parties can be a challenge. It appeared that no one waited a unreasonable time to get their refills. Even a spill was taken care of by staff swiftly. That is a good sign. However, our service was just good. It took a long time to get a beer and we never got out second one we just paid and left All that being said, I will be back.

Hundreds of Hops US Hop Passport Amazing Brewery Race Stop 30 - 1/18 for Missouri…read more We stopped here as our first stop on our Missouri Brewery Race, plotted intentionally for the eats... specifically all you can eat fried chicken day... not that I could eat a whole lot of it, but I love good fried chicken and that KFC at home isn't scratching that itch. Needless to say, I ordered the fried chicken, dark meat. The hubs got a maple syrup (flavored, turns out - definitely NOT maple syrup). The table behind us ordered directly after our order was put in and also ordered all you can eat fried chicken, dark meat. When i heard, "we're sold out of that", with my order not up yet, I thought we were in for potential problems. Now, at 845pm, I'd understand that but 15min after the "special" starts, with a half empty dining room... I'm gonna have some questions. For example: Why is there no chicken available at open on fried chicken day? Anywho, the plates come out & I'd guess the potatoes were from the last special... cold & crusty, topped with the thickest, most concentrated "gravy" I've ever seen. Both were inedible. The broccoli was cooler than it should have been served at but tasted good. The real star was definitely the fried chicken. It absolutely hit the spot - unfortunately, they were indeed sold out of dark meat & i ended up with a wing... sigh - thankfully, I got 1 thigh, my true love & although it was all you can eat (only way they sell it), 1 thigh is about all I can eat. Still, I could have skipped the sides all together for a 2nd thigh... The burger was "ok", nicely cooked, but maple flavor is not at all the same as real maple syrup tho & it definitely could be improved with real maple syrup. The beer was pretty tasty. We had 3 different ones & could have pulled a 4th had the timing worked out. Overall, a so-so experience. I'm not sure why, when I ordered, that I wasn't told that there wasn't enough chicken for a dark meat order. I would have asked if there was a thigh left & likely still ordered it when they said yes, but it would have been my choice then. They did stop selling the chicken special before we cashed out.
