We also ordered a Gluten Free Bourbon BBQ Chicken Pizza and a Honey Garlic Chicken Pizza. The food took about 30 minutes, which was fine, since we were conducting our meeting anyway. Everyone enjoyed the food. I also tried the Vernal Equinox which is a nice crisp beer that will be a good one for the warm weather.

Gotta be honest with you...meh. I was a little disappointed…read more I'll start with the beers. I tried the Old Reliable and the White Girl Wasted. Not much flavor in either one. Hate to say it, as it's local, but I'd much rather knock back a Budweiser. And I never even drink Budweiser. Tried the Margherita pizza. I really liked the wood fired crust. Super tender with a wood fired flavor to it. But the pizza overall was quite bland. And, with tax, it was pushing twenty dollars. That's an Andrew Jackson for a pizza not much bigger than the size of my hand. They have to be pulling fifteen dollar margins on that small pizza. You're not gonna feed a family of four in here without it hurting. And that's just odd to me when we're talking pizza. I really like what they did to the place. Sharp looking inside. But the service ain't really that great, especially when you consider the prices. And it attracts a certain white collar, hipster clientele. Not that there's anything wrong with that but that's the feel. It's not a place you're going to go after you just plumbed a house. It just doesn't have that blue collar feel to it that some breweries do, and I kinda left wishing it did. But hey, what do I know? Place is popular. I hope it's successful in this expansion location. Before I went there, I asked my neighbor what he thought of it when I saw him walking back from the place with a box. He said, in two words, "It's expensive." That's it. All he told me. So, I'll leave you with that.

Had an absolutely great time at Blue Stallion Brewing Co. This place is a whole vibe…read more First of all, the beer menu? Impressive. There's something for everyone, whether you're a "let me analyze the hops" person or a "just give me something cold and delicious" person. Everything we tried was solid, and it's clear they know what they're doing. The venue itself is super cool. Family friendly, relaxed, not pretentious, and somehow feels both lively and laid-back at the same time. The kind of place where you can hang out for one drink and accidentally stay for three. Service was great: friendly, fast, and helpful without hovering. Exactly what you want when you're trying to responsibly sample your way through a tap list. Parking is excellent. Stress-free. No parallel parking gymnastics. No circling the block questioning your life choices. Just... parking. Beautiful. They also had a pop-up event featuring local artists, which was awesome. Apparently they host things like that pretty regularly, and I love that they're supporting local small businesses. Nothing pairs better with a craft beer than community spirit. They offer pizza, which we didn't try this time, but it looked and smelled incredible. Great beer, cool atmosphere, excellent service, strong community vibes, and parking that doesn't make you cry. 10/10, will absolutely be back.

It's nearby for me and, at least for the time I visited (early afternoon) it wasn't crowded, so super convenient. The restaurant features upscale burgers and gastro-bar food, so we tried a couple of burgers. The mac and cheese patty melt was outstanding. A four inch burger patty plus a four cheese mac and cheese smashed with a spiced Texas toast type bread was excellent. The Goodwood burger was another great selection, featuring two four inch smashed patties, fried pickled jalapeños, pimiento cheese, onion, and bacon. The burgers were great and with the convenient location and mellow vibe, we'll be back to try some of the other offerings soon! Strongly recommended.

The entry space is dedicated to carryout orders, while the majority is a dining room and bar. Although we both enjoyed our dishes - a smothered burrito with chicken and a burrito bowl with carnitas - I couldn't detect anything particularly unique about the cuisine. They had a good selection of Maiden City craft brews (the sweet pear cider was yummy!) and margaritas with house-made flavor additives. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, and the proximity to both LexLive and Country Boy is really great. I hope this becomes a destination for students, nearby residents, and visitors alike!

Nothing terrible, just a style or flavor pairing that I'd really rather not have. That being said, the Baba Yaga is one of my favorite and I can't wait for release date every year. The Muffin Man is such a delight, but the Raspberry Lemon was like 99% lemon and a whiff of raspberry. Back part of the brewery is set up for darts and just large groups, which is great, but it does get loud if you're trying to play trivia (the building likes to echo). Now the parking... I have no good way to describe the frustration and the ongoing attempt to regulate parking. Also, the singular one way sign doesn't really do much.

Their pretzels and pretzel buns are made in-house using fresh sourdough, and you can taste the difference. Soft, chewy, and perfectly baked. The space itself is small, but very welcoming and accommodating. The owners run and work the shop themselves, and it shows. they are genuinely kind, friendly, and passionate about what they do.
