Not sure what was going on there a few years back, but I'd definitely recommend going back now. The staff and the manager are all super friendly! They always have what I want and I'm always treated with kindness and respect. read more

Being spoken to in a condescending manner wasn't high on my list of things to do while I was briefly out to grab something to drink but I was in luck when I went through this drive thru. The guy who was working there l must have lost his dog today. More likely that the dog ran away to avoid this guy riding around on his high horse because he was left in charge and felt he needed to exhibit his crappy life in his attitude and felt like a big man for the first time in his life. This is the second time I was disrespected by this boy and will be the last. I am a long time customer at this place. Coming in at least every other day to spend my money on snacks and smokes. l don't drink so my purchases are limited to soda and cigarettes. But I don't think the manager of this place is aware of the bad attitude the boy displays to his customers when he isn't around. I hate to give the whole place a bad rating due to this asshats behavior but if your going to leave him in charge you should monitor him a little closer. There are at least 2 other drive thru's within a short distance of this place and they have better employees. read more

Drove thru the drive-thru tonight. A young fella reluctantly waited on me. I was scolded for pulling my car all the way up to the end to allow more cars to fit in the drive-thru. Young fella said next time I better stop at the door (I dunno what that is), and pointed two cars back, then stormed off. I asked him to please come back and offer clarification. In my drive-thru days, it was best to have cars pull all the way up so more cars could fit in the drive-thru and not block traffic in the street. He said NO and walked away. I can only imagine that he recently lost control of a situation in his non-working life and needed something to hold on to, anything to make him feel good about himself again. Maybe the door was imaginary (which would explain why I didn't see it, but I'm blind so who can really say?) and he was living in a world he created for himself where I was merely a pawn to be pushed around and sacrificed to save the king. I accept that. It happens a lot. Regardless, terrible service from my first/last visit here. First time I never tipped a drive-thru employee, not that he needs my money-he's probably rich and has his own TV show that I was 'punked' on. Fun Fact: when I pulled out onto Watervliet to go home, traffic was backed up in the street from the drive-thru, presumably because cars were stopping at the 'door' so his majesty would not have to walk an extra step or two. Bow down. read more

Whoever this new girl is doesn't need to work in customer service. My first encounter with her was awful. Her attitude was apparent as soon as I looked at her and continued through the transaction. If you're not polite why are you working with the public? Everyone else there is great, but not this girl. read more

It seems almost designed to make you feel like an asshole for either just standing at the counter trying to browse their selection while the staff just stares at you or for having to ask about the proce of everything that catches your eye because nothing is labeled.

A local brewery's bottle of a bourbon barrel beer is priced at $5, and in the brewery it is $10. The liquor stock is good unless you want something specific.

(He did not look to confirm). We went out of our way and rushed our activity to get to the store before they closed. They did NOT have the bourbon in stock and there was not even a sticker for it to go on the shelf. Not a happy customer!!

The Foundry stays open late (food til 10 pm) so it was a great option. I sat at the bar and had the following: -Bbq short rib (3.5/5; pretty tasty. Short rib was tender and bbq sauce had a nice kick. The rice wasn't cooked properly so it was hard. I wanted to like this dish more...I think the traditional pairing of short rib w mashed potatoes would have been better) -Deviled eggs (3/5; these are mixed w avocado which makes them unique. Unfortunately, the flavor was lacking and needed some spice (Dijon, salt, pickles?) I wouldn't get these again -Oaxacan old fashioned (5/5; this old fashioned was made with tequila and mezcal and a flamed orange peel. The smokiness of this drink was super satisfying) Overall, the drink was amazing, service was great and food was alright.

I'm here 1-2x per year if friends request to go. I'm usually one and done. Drinks aren't that great, and they're not well-balanced. They are more affordable than craft cocktails elsewhere, but you get what you pay for. Back to the service. We have experienced the most awkward rude service here repeatedly, which is so odd, as we know most of the long time bartenders around town and don't experience the same elsewhere. I'm not sure if it's management, a bro, toxic male culture, or what, but these dudes are jerks. It had to be said. If it was once or twice, fine, but something's amiss. Sorry, guys. Do better. We are trying to support you, but you make it so difficult.

The menu is always thoughtfully curated and unique with excellent presentation. The bar is rarely crowded and we always have a great time. While it's kind of a non issue for me, I will agree with some of the other reviews that note the bartenders aren't super friendly. Not in a threatening way or anything, just not super talkative or friendly. I also wish they changed go seasonal menus more often, but that hasn't stopped me from coming back.

You can tell they're aiming to put a unique twist on classic brunch dishes, which I can appreciate, even if it wasn't quite my style. I ordered the Gravy'd Cheddar Tots, and my friend ordered the Breakfast Burrito. While the food was well-prepared, I personally found the value a bit lacking for the price. The Gravy'd Cheddar Tots consisted mostly of tater tots topped with eggs, white cheddar, and gravy. I basically paid $16 for 2 eggs; I left more hungry leaving than I did coming in. I understand that their menu is designed to be creative and different from a traditional brunch spot, but I found myself missing some of the more classic breakfast elements. In the end, it just wasn't the right fit for my preferences, and I left wishing the meal had been a bit more filling.

So we just walked in, and the host was kind enough to let us sit at the little bar area near the window. I like their ordering system. You have many options --- go up to the cash register and order there, order from the server who comes by your table (or in our case, bar), or use your phone by scanning the QR code. And if you use your phone, each person in your party can do it themselves on their own phone. Regardless, it all gets added to the same order for the same table. Pretty slick. At the end, when it comes time to pay, the app lets you split the check however you want, and you can even see the name of the person that ordered each item. The food was incredible. It's not cheap, and the portions are a little smaller than some might expect at an Italian restaurant. But for us, it was filling enough. I personally had the raviolo, which was delicious. Little did I know that in Italian, "raviolo" is singular while "ravioli" is plural. So I got one giant raviolo on my plate (see picture). I didn't care much for the runny egg yolk on top, but it was as advertised on the menu. All the other food orders were amazing, especially the desserts. I'd definitely come back once my food budget resets.
