    Blackberry cucumber-tini
    Beth S.

    I love going to Cap. It's a great place for a date, family meal, friend catch up or even a solo dinner at the bar! My boyfriend and I went and sat at the bar Thursday night and Stephen took excellent care of us. The beer selection here is huge so he was ready to make some recommendations when we had trouble deciding. I opted for a cocktail because the blackberry cucumber-tini sounded delicious and it was! We got the pretzel but opted to skip the beer cheese because their mustard is delicious. My boyfriend's hot buffalo wings were well sauced and cooked nicely. We really appreciate the "wing setup" with your very own paper napkins and wet wipes. We tried the brownie dessert this time and it was really good. I highly recommend the apple pie too! I would share more pictures but I forgot phone eats first on this trip.

    We came to this restaurant to meet our family that live in the area and celebrate my sister's son's adoption. I think overall the food came and was delicious. My fiancé and I shared the sausage and potato appetizer and he got the schnitzel while I got the black and blue burger. Across the table everyone's food looked great and we had a good beer recommendation that was light and refreshing against the rich German food we had. My sister's son is obsessed with hot dogs and he loved the spicy ketchup. We had a lot of servers making sure we had our food quickly, even though we had such a large party. If I gave any criticism at all, I was very hot in that part of the restaurant and would have appreciated more air conditioning in that room but that's it. Would be happy to go back, really enjoyed the experience otherwise.

    This was my third time at this brewery in Midlothian. The staff is always so helpful and friendly…read morethe minute you walk on the door answering all your questions whether it be about food or beer or the best place to sit. We ended up sitting at the bar for a couple beers and dinner. The outside vibe had fire pits and Adirondack chairs with some tables. From the minute, we entered to the moment we laughed. We were thoughtfully waited on by all the staff. Falcon smash is always my go to beer when I go there and this grilled chicken Parmesan sandwich was amazing. Definitely worth a stop when you're Midlothian Virginia.

    Stopped in recently for the first time to try an IPA. It was average but that's not what the one…read morestar is for... I've followed this brewery on social media for a few months and have noticed their pictures consistently feature pours with an inordinate amount (2-3") of head on them. As someone who absolutely hates foam, I asked up front for no head. The bartender winced and explained they had to pour that way or they'd get in trouble because the ownership "wants the aroma expressed." I was taken aback...not only by the total lack of regard for the customer but for levying that threat against an employee. I was waiting to meet someone somewhere else for dinner, and put aside my disdain and capitulated as I didn't want anyone getting in trouble over a beer. So, I figured I'd make the most of things out on the patio. Alas, you can't take glass out in the patio, only plastic cups. What?!? If this were a college bar on a Friday night, sure - pour into plastic. But happy hour in Midlothian? The bartender did say they could pour no foam for a plastic cup though, which I thought was funny - they're so precious about their beer the foam is mandatory, but yeah, just dump it in plastic for the patio. All in all, a negative experience and one I won't repeat. My advice is to give the customer what they want, don't threaten employees, and eat the cost of a few broken glasses. To be clear: I get the notion of aromas and such, but this isn't Russian River or Alchemist, or even The Veil (none of which have foam mandates). I could even understand if they were busy (I was the only one ordering), but I wouldn't have asked for a longer pour under those circumstances. The beers are average regionals and customer service and good treatment of employees are non-negotiables. I hope ownership sees this and chills out; the person who pays for the beer dictates the pour, not you.

I got the Chopped Brisket Salad. When the food finally got there, the salad had no brisket on it. Had to get the waiter to go get it. Flavors were all good, at least the brisket was tender.

There are plenty of seating, indoor and outside. Service was nice and attentive, and the food came out quickly. Their menu had a lot of different offerings from burgers, to pizza, to entrees. FOOD: ~Sticky Ribs (4.5/5): actually fall off the bone tender! The sauce was tasty. Only thing was the ends were a little too burnt, but it wasn't inedible - gave that nice char taste. ~Italian Grinder (5/5): Typical italian sandwich, but the bread was so good. The roasted peppers added a nice kick, and the sauce was yummy. ~Fries (5/5): love battered fries! And they were seasoned really well ~Catfish and grits (4/5): the grits were wonderful consistency. Catfish was fried really well and was extremely tender. The sauce was so flavorful, but it was very heavy. At first I was worried about the huge chunks of celery, but thankfully, it didn't have that strong celery flavor and added a nice crunch. A really solid meal, especially for a golf course restaurant!

    I have had soooo many wonderful experiences at Wood & Iron which is why I keep giving them a chance…read morebecause it could easily just be a bad day, but their menus are changing, the service is shifting (not in a positive direction), portions are smaller & prices are the same. This used to be a place where you'd have to wait for a table every time, but now the restaurant is half empty and I see why! When I was ordering my food our server was slightly rude & I was taken aback (but you never want someone to spit in your food so I ignored it lol). As I was ordering my food she repeated my wing order to me as she was typing it in, but she did not acknowledge the fact that I asked for all flats so I said all flats again & her response was an "I heard" under her breath which others at my table noticed the rudeness associated with it as well. The wings visibly looked different but fine, however once I started moving them around, I noticed they were dry & chewy like they were over-fried, but normally when I get them they are moist with a slight char from being grilled even tough they are dry rubbed. The loaded baked potato I was a shock to me..a lot more cheese than potato and it was cold. I'm simply very unsatisfied. I took my food home with me & ended up just throwing it all away. They've still got the best blue cheese though, hope that doesn't change! I've got lots of points to use so I'm going to just try a different location & pray. My two times at Short Pump have been better than the last six-eight months at Midlo.
