They have so many high-end and harder-to-find options at really good prices, and I LOVE that you have the opportunity to try something before committing to buying a whole bottle. Their selection is honestly extremely impressive compared to a lot of places in the area, especially if you're someone who appreciates good bourbon. Kenny and his wife are also two of the most wonderful people. You can tell how much they genuinely care about their business, their customers, and making people feel welcome. It's the kind of place where you don't feel like just another customer walking through the door. And the FOOD!! Their kitchen is easily one of the best scratch kitchens I've ever been to. You can tell there's actual care put into what comes out of that kitchen instead of everything just being typical bar food. The steak bites, Rox Dog, and paninis are seriously to die for. I don't think I've ever left disappointed with anything I've ordered. It's also such a great place to bring kids. The amount of games and things they have for kiddos is crazy! My son has an absolute blast every single time we go, which makes it so much easier to actually sit down, enjoy our food, and spend time together. Great bourbon, amazing scratch-made food, genuinely wonderful owners, fair prices, and an atmosphere that makes both adults AND kids want to come back. Mr. D's is one of those places that deserves way more recognition. We absolutely love it here and will continue coming back!

They have a few year-round options that you can't go wrong with, but I love trying their rotating and experimental options the most. You can tell the love and care they put into the product. They typically will have some sort of charcuterie option, and those are a must. I've never had a better apple than here, and it makes sense. The cheese offerings are always delicious as well. In my experience, the service is top tier as well. The kind where they offer suggestions and have conversations with you. Must stop!

They have a great pizza deal ($22/2 beers and 'za). Easy parking. I would be a regular, no doubt, if we were local. STOP HERE!!!

The brewery has a large indoor and outdoor space, and we especially appreciated that it's dog friendly, so we were able to bring our pup inside with us. Outside, there was plenty of room for dogs to stretch their legs, along with lots of shaded tables to relax. Their beer menu was extensive--almost too many options to choose from! They definitely lean into unique flavors, with offerings like a pickle margarita beer and a mango wheat that made for a fun tasting experience. While none of the beers ended up being favorites for us, we still enjoyed the atmosphere.

There are some monthly specials, along with an extensive list of regular rotation cocktails. There is also a note, if you can dream it, they will try to make it. We had some BOGOs to use, so we tried a few different things. Hubs was a little disappointed that there was a drink with goat cheese that was sold out. It sounded so unique and interesting though! I had the Rover, a lemon raspberry gin fizz-like drink and the Peeps special. Both were light tasting, the Rover was delicious. Hubs tried the Gaia's Garden special, not my fave, but he enjoyed it. Worth the hour-ish drive from the cities or if you're up in the Collegeville area.

About a month later my wife and I hiked at 3 state parks and stopped here for lunch and a beverage. It is awesome! It's a family owned farm with the daughter making wonderful cheeses and they use the leftover liquid from making the cheese to make their spirit AZRO(Araga is the name for fermented milk wine- koumiss- distilled into liquor. We use Redhead Creamery milk sugar to make this fine spirit.) It is a super cook place with extremely friendly people working the farm. The cheeses they make are phenomenal, when I walked into the restaurant/shop area my senses were hit with mouthwatering smells and the food backs it up. Go support an amazing local business, you won't regret it. The drinks were great as was the food, my wife got the JER-LINDY SMASH BURGER It is beef seasoned and smashed with your choice of Redhead Cheese and a house made Lucky's mustard aioli and deep fried cheese curds. I got the pan fried curds, cast-iron fried to perfection and topped with a maple bacon syrup. Again this place is just awesome, definitely go check it out and go on a tour as well!

If you are interested in trying an alcohol made from whey called Azro (tastes like vodka with a blue cheese vibe IMHO, but is perfect for that "secret ingredient cocktail."), stop at the bar and restaurant. I wish we had time to try their food menu, but we will save that for our next visit. Also, huge shoutout to the staff and owner as they answered every question and treated us like VIP customers. Leave early to hit their business hours, make this your delicious detour! It's only a short drive down a gravel road directly to the dairy farm. You won't regret it.

And we've stopped in almost every since! I first tried the cherry dip cone served with a side of crunch. Nostalgic bliss. My hubby had a shake and loved it. Creamy and delicious.. We stopped back in for Cyclones last night.. thick and loaded with ingredients. Today was my favorite.. amazing rootbeer float. The large was the perfect size to accomodate the incredible chili cheese coney and onion rings. The Nathan's hot dog was a fabulous choice, and the chili was lovely. Thick, sweet, and just spicy enough. Perfectly seasoned. We can't wait for vacation again next year!
