We went on a Monday afternoon around 11:30, and by the time we left the place was pretty well packed. I ordered a Bloody Mary to start, which was ok, but could have used more spice for a boost of flavor. The Turkey Stack sandwich was served on a soft, buttery pretzel bun with a generous portion of turkey. While the tomato wasn't very fresh, the rest of the elements were good. The side of cranberry relish was not to my liking, but that's just a personal preference. However, because that was the only spread choice, my sandwich ended up being a bit flat in taste. The steak fries that accompanied were good, but also could have used a bit more seasoning for taste. My husband had the Bartender Steak Sandwich, and while deconstructed each ingredient was savory, the garlic bread was not the best bread choice to support the juiciness of the steak. It fell apart quite easily, and made eating the sandwich with your hands a bit difficult. Overall, this favorite neighborhood spot is a cozy place to grab a meal and relax.

The bar area is a nice size and there were several patrons there on the Wednesday night we were there. Our server was personable and pleasant. The food- I ordered a chili and it was hardly seasoned. Got cold right away because it wasn't properly heated. Also, it lacked flavor. My friend ordered a steak salad and she returned it. I was asked to taste it to get my opinion and i thought the steak meat texture seemed off. No flavor and i had to chew and chew and chew. The meat wasn't tough but the texture just seemed odd. The salad was returned and chili was ordered just for the sake of eating something to finish dinner. I would only return here for drinks possibly.

My regular catchup group of colleagues and I returned here for our third visit to this wonderful,…read morechill, and delicious brewpub. As usual and as expected, the food and drink were top notch. We also incidentally met more members of the family running this place. For one, it turned out our attentive, friendly, and capable server was Kate T who we learned upon our usual server interrogation was the owners' daughter. The friendly owner husband and wife team, John and Tony Taylor, were also present and working the dining room, and it was nice to meet them as well and recognize them as excellent brewpub owner-operators. As for food and drink, I had my usual 3 beers and on this night they were: a Stone Delicious IPA (7.7% ABV), a Noon Whistle Gummylicious IPA (6.0% ABV), and a Maplewood Fat Pug milk stout (5.9% ABV). For food, I had a delicious Shrooms burger with fries ($18). The fries were really fresh and particularly delicious and perfectly lightly seasoned. Our party shared our usual and favorite appetizers also - mussels ($18) and pork belly bao buns (3 for $16). My colleagues ordered a panko chicken ($24) and a BYOBurger ($16) with tater tots (a $2 adder) for their well enjoyed entrees. For the record we had the following selections of beers and they were all delectable for the varying tastes amongst our threesome: First round was a Stone Delicious IPA (7.7% ABV) and a couple of Krombacher pilsners (4.8% ABV). Second round was a Noon Whistle Gummylicious IPA (6.0% ABV), a Stone Delicious IPA (7.7% ABV), and an Old Irving Della kolsch (5.2% ABV). Third round was a Maplewood Fat Pug milk stout (5.9% ABV), a Yuengling lager (4.5% ABV), and a Cigar City Jai Alai west coast IPA (7.5% ABV). The place was busy on a Wednesday evening, but it wasn't slammed like in our two previous visits. It was a delicious and fun outing, and thanks once again Neat Kitchen for delivering, and continued good luck!

First visit, but we are planning on future visits. This time of year, when the sun begins to set,…read moreit cools off in a hurry so we elected to be seated indoors. Unfortunately, we were seated in the room right next to the outdoor seating and the overhead door was wide open. Too cold to enjoy a meal so we were cheerfully moved to another table, near the hostess stand. So, with multiple dividers, the table was in the direct path of the breeze from the open overhead door. Again, waaaay too drafty for me. I did notice this mentioned in other reviews. They did turn off the overhead fan and that did help. The tables for 2 are just that ~ barely room for the food on the table with drlnks. Our second table for 2 was actually soooooooo close to the 2 women seated already, that I felt like we were a party of 4. I don't understand the placement of the dividers ~ it reminded me of a lab with various mazes for the mouse to find the cheese. And there are seats on one side of the dividers so you have booth seating at a table with chair seating. There are no booths. The onion rings were delicious, My Panko chicken also very good, and my husband enjoyed his grilled salmon salad. Too full to enjoy dessert. Menu is not extensive, but something for everyone. Staff was very friendly and most accommodating.

I think there were TVs around for viewing. We ate out on the patio. I was a little apprehensive as it is right on Ogden Ave., but it was rather pleasant.

I was told that the BBQ ribs fall off the bone ~ just the way I like them. As promised, meat fell off the bone. I liked that I was given a separate bowl to deposit the bones to get them off my plate. Plenty left to take home for another meal. Wait times were appropriate ~ no delays. They are open for lunch and dinner so I will return.

The place is small and divey, but I think the $9 draft tag prevents it from actually being a dive bar. I do like the atmosphere. There's a small stage for musicians to perform and a kitchen that closes around 8pm during weekdays. Trivia night is on Wednesdays starting 7pm. Both times, I arrived little past 6pm and I seem to be one of the first ones there. The trivia crowd starts rolling in right around 7pm. Definitely get the sense that Wednesday night crowd is only there for trivia. Joe, who was there both times have been good to me. Can't say he's the most friendly person in the world, but he's one of those people who sorta grow on you the more you talk to him. Not sure if he's the owner or just the manager, but when I told him that I was in for the trivia and that it was my first time, he was super chill to explain the schticks. He also recognized me the second time around and was even more friendly than the first time. Steve, the host of the trivia was also a cool kat. I could immediately tell that 6-or-so teams that were there for trivia were all regulars and that my group was the newcomers. Steve definitely acknowledged that we were new and was super attentive and cool towards our group. I definitely appreciated that. Second time I was there, which was a few weeks later, he still remembered me and made small talks. Sign of a good trivia host, if you ask me. As mentioned before, I think the drinks are on a steeper side. This may be because the trivia I used to go back in Toledo had $5 - $6 beers on tab and that I'm not accounting for inflation and or the city taxes. But still, a tiny resentment over paying twice as much for same number of beers exists for me. Truth of the matter is that I'm still having a good time kickin' it with friend-lleagues, so the beer tag probably won't bug me as much. Still yet to get a crowd more than 3 of us going, but I'm slowly working my way up. I like the vibes, the trivia and its host, and their food--though not cheap.
