They have a bunch of their own beers on tap in a wide range of styles.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good food and friendly service…read more A friend and I came by for lunch after a hike in the area. Neither of us had been before, but it was conveniently located and looked nice--clean, open, airy, and not too crowded on a Thursday around noon. We sat at the bar, but didn't actually end up trying any of the beers (although I thought about it). We opted for Diet Cokes instead--maybe next time. I had the veggie sandwich with fries, and my friend had the cheeseburger and fried cheese curds. All were really delicious, the fries being especially good. We agreed that the cheese curds might've been too much for us. I don't know what we were thinking, ordering DEEP FRIED CHEESE--maybe that we were still teenagers?! They didn't have a ton of vegetarian or vegan options, but I really enjoyed my sandwich. Our server was genial and efficient, and we had a lovely time. Would like to try again, with some beers next time.

My wife found this brewery after having a local bite at a place nearby. We were immediately greeted…read moreby the bartender who was extremely helpful in explaining the beer or seltzer profiles. The brewery was "attached" to the pizza spot next door by a small opening which allows them to pass the food through. I def will be trying the pizza next time we are there. There was plenty of seating and a small patio in back for the pups. The beer and seltzers were very flavorful. Overall a great spot to go hang for a beer and chill.

Just a super nice place to hangout and have a great beer. Definitely a place I would return to.

Steve and I had Rōm Beer again after some time has passed and we are still impressed with it as we…read morewere last time. We had two different beers this time around to diversify the beer experience and we liked them both! The first beer we had upon our return was the Off The Grid IPA. This was a refreshing IPA and helped a slight craving for IPA'S that I have been going through lately. Things to look in the flavor profile are hoppy, piney, bitterness, citrus and tropical. Moving on from there I had one of my favorite lager types, a Mexican Lager. The name of this one was De La Playa. Flavor features with this beer are malty, perhaps a bit biscuity. Very crushable and light bodied which makes this a beer one that's easy to have more than one of. A very pleasant return to Rōm and may more return trips be in the future!

Definitely adding this place to my rotation list

The service was okay it is a self serve so you order st the counter then pick it up at the counter…read more It took some time for the food to come out we have waited for the food to come out for atleast 25mins. We saw this while driving downtown and didn't even know that it was here! They actually extended it so it was more visible but before it was a very small place so it is possibly why we have not seen it... they have a patio and plenty of seating inside and a bar plus they also have tables at the very back... the ambiance is okay it is a quick stop where you get a drink and a quick bite! The food were a little bit more on the expensive side and it is not something where you would come back for but they do have plenty of selection when it comes to drinking beers! It is a drinking place so if you like socializing and beer then this place is for you.

Nice small arcade to keep the kiddos and Dads busy, amd 2 counter bars. Order at the counter, your name is called, pick up your own food and full your own drinks. A chaotic rhis evening but overall a good experience. A very nice lady and son let us have their table. It can get very loud in there. Service is great. Pizzas wings and mozzarella sticks were a solid 8.5. Pizza is loaded with toppings, not too saucy or salty, freshly made. We will definitely try this place again in a not so busy evening or get it to go. Price on point for the amount of food we ordered.

We have visited Pizza Port multiple times, and the pizza is consistently excellent. However, today…read morewe were quite taken aback by the service. While we were still enjoying our meal and had half a pint of beer left, an employee approached our table without any prior notice and discarded our pizza tray, which still contained two slices covered by a plate. I had intended to take those slices home for my daughter. The whole incident occurred so quickly (we were in the middle of a conversation) that by the time we realized what had happened, it was too late. When we expressed our disappointment, the employee merely suggested we could get another pizza downstairs and walked away without offering an apology. While I understand it was just two slices, I had already told my daughter that I would be bringing some pizza home. I could have ordered another pizza, but the wait time was too long. Additionally, we noticed that two glasses of beer and napkins from previous customers remained on the table for the entire time we were there. It raises the question of why those items weren't taken instead of our pizza. As a suggestion, I recommend requesting the pizza to go. That way, it comes in a box and is less likely to get tossed.

Joey Salameh at Drift Distillery absolutely made the experience. From the moment we sat down, he…read morebrought a level of energy and professionalism that you don't see everywhere. He's the kind of person who genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in every interaction. His knowledge of the drinks was on point--he didn't just recommend things, he explained them in a way that actually made you excited to try something new. Every suggestion hit, and you could tell he really understands the craft behind what Drift is doing. What stood out most though was the service. Joey was attentive without hovering, personable without being over the top, and made the whole vibe feel elevated but still comfortable. It felt less like being served and more like being taken care of. If you're going to Drift Distillery, ask for Joey--you'll have a completely different (and better) experience because of him.

Today, on a Saturday at 12-ish, as a family of 4 we were able to get seated right away. Our server was attentive and offered/brought waters right away. We were seated inside which was open and spacious but loud enough to make it family friendly. The tables were far enough a part that you did not feel like you were on top of each other. Next time, we might ask to sit outside so our young boys can watch the cars drive by. We learned that the kitchen is nut free (always double check as this could change), which was amazing since our son has a severe nut allergy. He was so excited to learn this as he can be limited at other places due to cross contamination or the wrong oils. Then when the food came out and it was delicious - it sealed the deal. It is now in the top of our list of places to go. The kids cheeseburger is good size and not a smaller version as some places do. The chicken tenders were panko crusted which was so crunchy. My husband and I shared the smoked carrot and chicken tacos and we enjoyed them both. The beer was also very good with my husband and I each trying a different kind - an IPA and a Pale Ale. We are so glad we finally stopped in and so should you!
