A few weeks ago I was in town for a hockey game and in need of some refreshments pre-game. This was the perfect spot. It was a little rainy so a large portion of the place was unusable. In better weather the courtyard would've been a nice place to sit. There are many non courtyard tables and that's where we found ourselves. Calling yourself a beer garden and not having an extensive list would be foolish. Foolish they aren't here. Their list is extensive. So extensive and frequently changing that it's found via QR code on the table. The food menu is typical bar fare but taste anything but typical. The giant pretzel was delicious and paired well with the beers. Cheese fries are always welcome when having a drink and their version was equally great. Service was friendly and prompt. Check out Mid City Beer Garden. You'll like it.

In an experience that mimics my previous review, but this time with the eye rolling Dymond S. who would not utter a word to me despite my attempt at pleasantries - yet she would stop the transaction to say hello and see how someone (who was obviously a friend) was doing whilst the friend was walking out the door. Then immediately back to ignoring me. She then proceeded to throw my Veuve Clicquot into the same bag as the Tiger Sauce - with nothing but a small paper bag to contain the shards should they have busted against one another. And then without a word or even eye contact, held my receipt out for me to take. What is wrong with this location that their cashiers can't just be decent human beings and employ basic kindness to customers? We're not asking for a parade or to be fawned over, a simple response to a kind hello would suffice. But you choose to be nasty, without provocation, and I just cannot understand why.

I ordered the lobster ravioli, which sounded like a life decision I'd brag about later. What arrived was 4 ravioli and 4 small shrimp -- which, in most cultures, is called an appetizer but I might just need to go on a diet. Flavor-wise it was... politely stated..Not bad, just kind of bland. Also the shrimp still had the tails on, so dinner became a part-time job. Nothing says "fine dining" like performing minor seafood surgery in pink sauce while your pasta cools. The wine list was the real plot twist. No rosé. No Sauvignon Blanc. I have never -- and I mean never -- gone to an Italian restaurant and ordered beer out of necessity. Yet here we are. It just didn't feel right. Now, credit where it's due: the garlic bread was actually really good (though I'm pretty sure it didn't grow up in that kitchen), and the limoncello cake -- confirmed not house-made -- was honestly the star of the meal. Service was great, atmosphere was pleasant, and I didn't have a bad time... Three stars: good evening, questionable portion sizing, and a restaurant that accidentally convinced me to drink beer at an Italian restaurant.

They have some brands you can't find in many places, and the prices are pretty competitive. They also have a small wall of "alcohol removed" drinks that provide a great variety of beer, seltzers, wine, and liquor sans alcohol. The crew working in there was nice. No one offered to assist, but that let me roam the store a bit. I probably could have used a point toward some things I wanted, but it was fine. Great store for your party or personal needs!

Note: If you send your wife out to buy booze, then pay her back with paypal, do not put "Cuban Liquor" in the note. Paypal flags it, holds the payment, and their compliance team gets in touch saying you've potentially violated their terms of service. Paypal email included below: "It has come to our attention that you're advertising PayPal as a method of payment for the sale of items that may originate from Cuban. To resolve the compliance inquiry in a timely fashion, PayPal is requesting that you provide the following via email to mailto:compliancetransactions@paypal.com: * Details/documentation to explain where the Cuban liquor was manufactured and/or produced. In order to prevent risk for us and our customers, we have limited what you can do with your account until the issue is resolved.

Known for their delicious and diverse king cakes, they have all sorts of treats and special items. If they don't have it, they can usually order it as well. I was searching for a unique beer to bring some friends, and they have one of the largest and most unique selections in the state. The list of beers is growing every week as well. It's almost overwhelming all the different types, but hey, just go back and get another kind later! Their chicken salad is probably the best in town. It has flavor and larger pieces of chicken, so it's not a spread like others in town. Their pimento spread is great for parties as well. They have tons of different cheeses and olives and different Calandros brand goodies. Their produce is always fresh and reliable. They don't tend to cater to special diets, so if you have special dietary needs or restrictions, you may have to go to another store for those. But by nature, you can find items that will work for you. Top all of that with friendly owners, friendly staff, and friendly people all around, and it always makes an enjoyable shopping experience!
