Found this place on yelp and the reviews looked great…read more We loved this place so much we came back three days in a row. The food and drinks were fantastic, and our bartender Leslie made the experience even better. The guacamole and birria empanadas were standouts, and the drinks were all great. We loved the cantarita, margaritas, Blue Hawaiian, and the spicy Bloody Marys. Leslie was friendly, attentive, and makes excellent drinks. And they put the Illinois men's basketball game on for us!! If I lived here, this place would definitely be in my regular rotation.

A few coworkers and I stopped in for lunch instead of going to our tried-and-true Friendly…read moreConfines. I have to say, this was a nice change. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, the staff are super friendly, efficient, and everything was clean. The menu is presented via electronic tablet, which was a unique experience, but I can only imagine this is expensive for the business to maintain. Regardless, I prefer this versus large paper menus or scanning a QR code to look up the menu. I decided on the Carnitas Fajitas for lunch which came to $14. This is a bit expensive for lunch but I did order Fajitas, so that's my bad, lol! The dinner portion is $22.50 which actually is priced competitively to other restaurants in the area. They do offer more affordable lunch options, but I decided to splurge a little. Our food was out in about 15 minutes and my fajitas were sizzling hot just the way I like them. It was well worth the $14 and I was stuffed most of the day after devouring this plate along with all the chips, salsa, and queso. There were four of us in the party and everyone was happy with their meal. Great Job Zacapa Team, we will be back soon!

Can't wait to come back and try dinner next time!

The beers are great and there seems to be something for everyone. They also have wine and Absolute seltzers if you bring a companion who isn't into beer. There's always a food truck out front to curb those beer munchies. If you just want a bag of chips, C28 has those behind the counter. They even have homemade dog biscuits for your furry friend. Now. This place is like a speakeasy. It's not easy to find! It's in the back of an industrial type area. It's at the end of a cul-de-sac. Just keep driving! You're not lost. Google Maps is correct on these directions. There's always something going on here - BINGO night, Trivia night, run club, disc golf, monthly markets ... never dull! Check their FB page for weekly events. You can even rent space out for parties. So come on by and be a part of the C28 family!

When you first walk in, the place feels cozy and inviting as if you were inside a cabin with all the wood accents including picnic tables and high tops. There's also an area for kids with video games. If you need food, you can place an order from the business next door at the bar. They have pizzas, cheesesteaks and hot dogs. There was a workshop happening that evening about bat conservation, it was interesting. I later learned that they host different community workshops once a month. They also host different events, like a running club, yoga and trivia nights.

Lovely Easter Brunch on the Patio…read more We came here for Easter brunch and had a really nice experience. I called about 45 minutes before arriving just to see if there was any chance we could get a table. They mentioned they were only taking reservations that day but were kind enough to squeeze us in for 1:30, which worked out perfectly. Raven was our waitress and she was wonderful. Super welcoming, friendly, and attentive the whole time without ever feeling overbearing. My husband and I shared a Caesar salad and the steak and eggs, and of course we had to order mimosas (two each... because brunch ). Everything came out fresh and tasty. One small personal preference, and this might just be me, but I would have liked the Caesar salad lettuce to be chopped a bit smaller instead of the larger pieces. Not a deal breaker at all, just something I noticed. The steak was cooked well. I wouldn't say it was the best steak I've ever had, but it was definitely good. What really stole the show for me was the chimichurri sauce. I could honestly eat that by itself with the potatoes, it was that good. We sat on the patio and were a little worried it might be too hot, but it was nicely shaded and they have fans going, so it was actually very comfortable. The only time we got a little warm was after our second mimosa... but that might be on us Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back.

On Saturday's, they do a bottle of champagne for $20 and it wasn't the cheapest stuff in town! Our server was amazingly helpful, gave great recommendations and helped make our visit special. Everything is true farm to table so the menu rotates. But the dishes we had were divine. We split the savory crepe that was an egg crepe with mash potatoes, sausage and a sage brown butter sauce. Other item split were the haute pocket and steak flatbread. You can tell a lot of thought is put into the menu items and blending of flavors. We for sure will return!

I sat at the bar and watched the bartender chat with every single person at the bar in a most genuine and friendly way. The couple next to me actually knew him by name and he also knew them by name... so that's a very important quality for me! I ordered this French dip style sandwich, very generously accompanied with French fries. As I was attending the Film Festival across the street at the Ritz, I wasn't able to drink alcohol, but the drinks looked really good! Ambiance-wise: this is a very fun and open-spaced bar. I sat at the bar but there were picnic tables behind me (indoor). It was lovely and very well lit. When I walked outside, I felt very safe. This is a really great spot to hang out with friends there in Sanford!

In town on a work trip, my husband, and I decided to try this place out! What a wonderful surprise! From the moment you walked in the eclectic, industrial, modernized, warm, cozy feel welcomes you in. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we knew right away that this place was a find! A wonderful happy hour menu, led us to a full menu of what felt like a farm to table experience. I sadly didn't get to snap a photo of the excellent appetizer buratta, but it was a perfect blend of balsamic tomato and creamy cheese! I am a true foodie, and this was hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten. My husband absolutely loved his shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked and well balanced flavor. Well, I know everyone recommends the chocolate cake, I can't rave enough about the crème brûlée. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to enjoy a " private chef experience" meal! You will be glad you did!

I had the Caesar salad and 1501 dry rub wings with ranch. Salad had corn bread croutons which could've been good but tasted like just oiled soaked stale dense bread. Dressing came on the side, which I'm guessing was due to a misunderstanding because my cousin asked for his wing hot sauce on the side. The chicken was chewy unfortunately. The skin was crispy and rub was good but the texture ruined it and they just tasted bad and overcooked. I would opt for another dinner choice or maybe they have other food that's better.

We came twice during our trip because of the great outdoor dining experience and excellent service from the bartenders. They have a very limited menu and the lady working it, stayed on her phone lol. The bar is clean enough but the ladies restroom could benefit by a deal clean and fixing up a bit. The atmosphere is so nice and it's kid/pet friendly. One thing I especially loved were the nice wine glasses you can take outside. So many places have gone to plastic and while we understand, it's so appreciated. Come with confidence.

Celery City Bar is hands down one of the most unprofessional bars I've ever stepped into…read more Both bartenders were visibly drunk, rude, and acting like they were the main characters in a sad little power trip. I ordered an espresso martini from one bartender. Another randomly made it without confirming, then absolutely spiraled when I asked about my drink. Instead of clearing it up, he chose public humiliation berating and talking down to me at the bar like I'd committed some unforgivable crime. Full medieval town-shaming energy. Shame bell not included. What were they busy doing instead of their jobs? Flirting with freshly-21 customers and openly staring at their chests. If you weren't new, young, or feeding their ego, you were invisible or worse, a target. Two grown adults behind a bar acting like sloppy, insecure children with alcohol and an attitude problem. No class. No taste. No professionalism. Just embarrassing behavior that would get you fired anywhere that actually cared about standards. Save your money, skip the humiliation, and go literally anywhere else.
