They have over 50 taps that you can choose from. Every beer style was well represented. The bartender let me taste a couple samples before I made a final decision. The place is called Barleygarden Kitchen, but it's also affiliated with Hop City. In addition to all the beers they have a full bar. Barleygarden is a winner and in a great location. It is a great option if you are looking for craft beer in the Avalon area.

We got seated right away which was nice and parking was free in the garage. I had the market salad and added grilled salmon. It ended up being $26 dollars for the salmon salad and I wasn't that impressed. The roasted cauliflower and roasted carrots were both served cold and very hard. It wasn't as enjoyable to eat as it looked. Presentation of the salad was very nice though. I ordered the cheesy mashed potatoes and grilled chicken for my son. The chicken seemed over cooked and burnt. The environment was decent but overall I thought this restaurant was just ok for the price.

The servers behind the bar tend to be energetic, friendly students from the nearby high school. The owner is also friendly. Everything is fresh. They have vegetables, fruits, nuts, proteins, and anything else that might go on a salad. Some categories of ingredients are extra, such as proteins. These are clearly marked so there are no surprises. They are generous with whatever toppings are requested. Ask for more of what you like. They do not weigh the salads they combine for you. They sell by container. Fill it as you will. I've seen people take advantage to the point where the container will barely close but the server just smiles. It must even out. The restaurant is spacious and well lit. Plenty of natural light during the day. The minimalistic design just feels right. Value is great. You really can't go wrong.

I've ordered at this location numerous times *requesting & receiving* that certain toppings (5)…read morebeets, tomatoes,eggs,bacon& cheese be packaged in the 2oz dressing containers. Was told today that I had to pay $2 per 2oz cup of the exact amount of toppings for two salads so that's $20 additional dollars, per the cashier & person over the phone due to "cost" issues, anyone knows not only do these come packaged 1000s per pack but how many of these or the the tiny lids for them fall onto the floor everyday at any establishment, the effort that was put forth to not accomodate this request was FAR more than was required to fufill it! QT has these for free like do I need to bring my own or GD WW ? Needless to say will not be back

There's plenty of space and tables, and even has a shop in the front corner of the restaurant. What I found (and loved) during my sleuthing before going, is that the menu changes daily, based on the fresh ingredients they get from local farms. This day, I got the turkey and pimento sandwich (bun courtesy of Alon's Bakery), Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken, and the cheesy tomato soup with garlic croutons as the topping. Here are my ratings: Cheesy Tomato Soup: 9/10, Rich in flavor, generous amounts of cheese. I personally didn't like the addition of the croutons, b/c it threw the flavor profile off (to me!). Gave it more of a lemony taste than garlic. Turkey and Pimento Sando: 8.5/10, solid sandwich with simple but quality ingredients. I took mine to-go and added a little red onion at home. Took it to a 9 (for me!) Mediterranean salad w/ grilled chicken: 7/10, nice flavor & fresh, but was lacking in dressing. Next time I'll ask for some in the side. I'd recommend going because I'll absolutely be back for a second visit!

We decided to try Slurpin' Ramen Bar first. I had read that they originally started in California so I had a good feeling about it and I'm so glad we went! Their tonkotsu broth was probably the best I've had in the US. It was rich and full of flavor without feeling overly heavy. It was so good that we didn't want to leave any behind so we actually took the leftover broth with us for the 5-hour drive home (thankfully we had a cooler bag!). I immediately had to tell my son who's currently living in LA for college so he can visit one there too. This place is definitely going on our must-visit restaurant list from now on.

First, when you walk into the restaurant, it is very cute, has a bar for solo diners and booths incase you are in a group. The location is very cozy and the employees were great! Our server was very patient and had no problem explaining, re-explaining, and confirming with the chef if he wasn't 100% on an answer. I got a tofu rice bowl, which I typically don't get and it was delicious! I asked if the salad could be put on the side rather than in the bowl and was given a full side salad that I wound up mixing into my rice lol. I also added broccoli to the bowl, which I probably wouldn't do again because it was pretty bland, but overall the bowl was good. Now the vegan dumplings... were FANTASTIC! We shared the dumplings and everyone agreed that they were easily the best thing that we had eaten the whole day. The green color threw me off at first, but the crispiness and texture of the dumpling was amazing. I would love to go back and try the ramen to see how it measures up, but again, great experience. Also, when you are paying the check, they bring you a small bucket full of dum dum lollipops, which I thought was a great touch. Me and my adult guests all left like happy children, which is exactly how eating out should make you feel.

I've had Mama's Kitchen on my list for a while once it popped up on my Taiwanese cuisine radar. It looks like the menu has expanded to included non-Taiwanese dishes, maybe to suit the tastes of the other cultures in the area. However, I was going straight for the Taiwanese favorites, including the Braised Minced Pork over Rice (滷肉飯), fried chicken cutlet over rice and of course the classic beef noodle soup. Everything was a-ok! Service was friendly, even inside the H-Mart food court. My favorite was the minced pork over rice (i even ordered a second order to go LOL), but the chicken cutlet and beef noodle soup hit the spot.

Then our ramen was STILL the best ramen in town... and I have been hunting for good ramen since the other location closed. I had Tori Paitan with extra spice, and it was perfect. My friend had the plum tea and loved it! And we wrapped it up with brown sugar boba bars and we loved those too! The service was incredible. Very friendly, personable, and attentive staff. They made sure we were well taken care of and were truly dedicated to a pleasant experience for us.
