We started with the spinach dip and everyone loved it. It came with these toasted bread bites that had a great seasoning and crunch to them. They kind of reminded me of an everything bagel but as a bread bite. This paired really nicely with the hot spinach dip. They also have a ton of coffee and tea options. I was a little bummed that did not have fountain sodas. My sister got a smoothie and really liked it. For my entree I got the Italian flatbread. It was a really nice combination of flavors with the sausage and peppers. I sampled my boyfriend's flatbread (pickled) and thought it was great as well! They have a large variety of options, perfect for a group like my family with different tastes. Everyone enjoyed it and agreed we'd have to come back when in the area!

After sitting down, they always brought me my coffee, no complaints. But this morning, the manager told me my dog was not allowed there, and that dogs had never been allowed there, not in the 4 yrs she'd been manager. HUH?? Why was she lying to me? Why didn't she just admit that she was making a change in their long-standing policy of allowing dogs there? Just the week before, I had come there with my dog and found the green chairs occupied. When I asked the employee if there was another place inside where dogs were allowed, she said no. She did NOT say that dogs weren't allowed there anyway. Good-bye Brewskie's. Good-bye to a manager who feels no shame for lying to customers.

I had already chosen my "carved turkey Reuben sandwich", yum, when I first went at around 12:30-the line was out the door, so went to my appointment, hoping I could get back by the 230 close time. Returned at about 215 yay, and happily walked right up to the counter to order my lunch, when I was told they were out of carved turkey (the way the server explained it sounded like an ingredient in the Reuben was out, not the actual turkey. I asked if the "simple turkey sandwich" had carved turkey, and I was told no, it was deli meat-deli meat is so processed and unhealthy. I was super disappointed. So I opted for a Smashburger after asking how they liked it and she said it was "delicious". Well, it's not a Smashburger. It's a double burger on a nothing special bun. I was going to take the bun off and eat it with a knife and fork, and I was looking for those yummy crispy edges on a authentic Smashburger. They didn't exist. This was a double cheeseburger with very thick patties. I think they were grass fed so kudos to them for that,, but it was incredibly dry sadly, and when I saw that the bun had been toasted with butter, I put it back on and had a couple more bites, but was super disappointed-and trust me nobody loves a great cheeseburger more than I but now I love smash burgers as well!. I also ordered the Orzo cucumber and feta salad (as well as the french fries) on the side and while it was OK, it was nothing special. French fries were just meh. After all the stellar reviews I had I was very surprised that they would make a double cheeseburger and call it a Smash-burger-I wish these restaurants would stop doing that, it's misleading, other restaurants do this too. And for the money I spent, I should've just gone to Shake shack! I DO think it's worth a second chance, and I will say everybody there was very kind on the Service level and it's an adorable, really beautiful spot and vibe ! I strolled around and looked at the merchandise afterwards. So hopefully I'll be back but just super disappointed I didn't have a nice meal and left hungry.

Just slightly smaller than the regular but was still too big for me to finish. The bread was fresh. The vegetables were fresh. And the Chicken Salad was AMAZING! Bethenny Frankel influenced my desire for this sandwich and if I could personally thank her I would. It's delicious chicken salad. I highly recommend.

It's a cute little wing place with lots of antique looking signs on the walls. As I'm looking at the menu on the wall, the "too cool for school" dude behind the counter was ready to ring me up before I even ordered. The girl asks "first time in here?". It had been all of about 30 seconds since I got to the counter and with nobody else in the place not sure why the rush. The truth is, I had been here before but it's been a while and I was looking at the list of wing flavors looking for lemon pepper, which is not on the menu. The guy points to the counter in front of him and says, the menu is right here. I mean, I could see the menu on the wall just fine. I ordered the 10 piece wing combo with fries, a sweet tea, 1/2 Garlic Parmesan and the other 1/2 Sweet Red Chili and the girl says "That's a good one!"-referring to the Sweet Red Chili sauce. The guy points to the sides and says, "Pick 2". I said, "Two? It comes with 2 sides?" He confirms. So I said, "Ok add the Mac n Cheese" and he asks if I want any additional sauces. I said just Ranch and some Ray Ray Sauce for the fries. He rings me up and repeats back, "10 Nugget Combo". I corrected him with "10 Wing Combo" and he re-rings the order, I pay and go have a seat. The girl goes into the kitchen, comes back out and says they are all out of the Sweet Red Chili sauce so I ordered the Stingin Honey Garlic. When the girl brings me the order, it's the 10 Wing Combo with Mac n Cheese and no Fries. I asked about the Fries and we looked at my order which said 10 Wing Combo-Mac n Cheese. I told her that the guy at the counter told me to pick 2 sides but no big deal since I got what I paid for (or so I thought-people count your wings!) and it was just miscommunication. Once I sat down to eat, there was no other interaction with the staff. I did notice the floor had dried up sauce in various places and the floor could use a good cleaning. About the food. The Mac n Cheese was served hot and it's basically noodles with velveeta cheese sauce which is fine for this type of establishment but I remember the other time I had visited, the Mac n Cheese was served in a cup and it had actual cheese melted on the top. The Garlic Parmesan Wings were amazing. Just how I remembered them from last time. The wings weren't served as hot as they should've been (IMO), but seemed like they had been precooked earlier in preparation for the Rush. The Garlic Parm wings had a generous amount of sauce on them. The Stingin Honey Garlic wings did not have enough sauce on them. Some parts of the chicken didn't have any sauce on them at all. The tea was good. And now that I'm uploading pictures, I see they only gave me 8 wings. 5 of the Garlic Parm and 3 of the Stingin Honey Garlic. I paid for 10, the receipt is shown in the picture. Just took another star off. Really wanted to give them at least 3 stars.

First thing I noticed was how clean the place looked and the lady who greeted me was super friendly and attentive along the way. I ordered the Classic American Burger with extra cheese, no onions and the Chicago Dog Combo with crinkle fries and a Sweet Tea. The sweet tea is very sweet. The burger was delicious on a grilled bun, seasoned perfectly, and they use the good pickles. The only thing I didn't like about the burger was that the cheese was not melted. The Chicago Dog is really good and it's a grilled dog on a grilled bun with tomatoes, pickles, jalapeños, onions and mustard and sprinkled with celery salt on top. Yummy! The fries were good but needed to be cooked a little bit longer for my liking. Not very crispy. No seasoning added. Everything was made to order and came out hot. They have a large menu and I will be back to try more. I would recommend.

We were told the Cajun fries were curly but they were regular fries with seasoning. The fries were massive and thick. Unfortunately, over cooked due to sizing. Our waiter was cool.

They have the good ranch which is unheard of for a fast food chain and the jalapeno ranch is on another level. My go to when visiting is always a burger add cheese, hot dogs, and chicken tenders. I love that they have sweet potato fries as a side item which I also always get. This order has never let me down. I always highly recommend dairio for anyone looking for a yummy fast option!

They are again offering a seasonal item, Chili Bean Soup - 12 ounces for $5.99, and includes sour cream and crackers! I added shredded cheese which was 50 cents additional. The chili has ground beef, black beans, pinto beans, chopped white onion, chili powder, other spices, and a touch of garlic. The chili is thick, and very flavorful , much more a stew than a soup, and I'll most certainly have it often as the temperatures turn colder. The shredded cheese added a lot to this dish, I'll double it on my next order, and ask for double the 4 saltines I received. The Chili Bean Soup, while flavorful, is mild. I added the contents of a packet of Texas Pete at various times as I ate. Between this soup and the Brunswick Stew at Honky Tonk, this is setting up to be a toasty fall and winter!
