There was a small but steady crowd throughout the night and we had top- notch service from our server- knowledgeable about the menu, attentive in the 'just right way' - carefully observing drinks and not interrupting date night more than necessary. A variety of local And other craft beers were featured although surprisingly not any from Firetrucker next door! The holiday decor was still up but even without it has a warm feel- love the various table sizes and heights and the long bar with a pretty decent offering for cocktails. While there, the bartender was experimenting with drinks and having fun. After recommendations I ordered the French dip which was phenomenal! Homemade bread, warm, generous meat and peppers and grilled onions, flavorful dip . I will say if I ordered again I would ask to have the sauce left off as I am not a fan of horseradish sauce. Still, it was tasty! Side salad as option was super fresh with mixed greens and the house creamy Italian was bursting with herby flavor. my husband had the tenderloin and while delicious- it was 'bougie' and not the traditional Midwest. It was generous and interesting as a dinner option. Would certainly return as the patio is inviting (just not in January)!'

There aren't many fast food or to go food places that have soup. This place does. My favorite is the chicken wild rice, but on this day, they didn't have any left, so chicken dumplings it was for me! I got the 12 oz size. The kids are so well fitting, that I was able to put this in a bag to take to car and no leaks! Grab the croutons for extra flavors. 5star for a bowl of soup? You bet! This was something I was craving and readily accessible and available on this day. Lots of chicken, dumplings. Great amounts of herbs. In fact, I'm craving it again as I write this. Are my tastes simple? Maybe. But that soup was perfect for them. I do go to many fast food places, but can find the treasures in each one. Lot parking here. Friendly staff. Great prices in most things-the coupon from the app got me this 12oz soup for $0.99 plus tax. CyHawkApproved.

Still a 3 star. Visited tonight and they actually had boba. Got to try the milk tea and it was…read morenice/refreshing. Good flavor. The boba...extra mushy and sad. (Indicating it was old or over soaked) The server seemed he was about to tell me he didn't have boba. But he scooped whatever he had left for the night. Waited 35 minutes for our two drinks. It was 10 minutes till closing when we received them. I think my review stands true. Customer service was not there. Shop was very unkept. I felt uneasy by how it was not clean for guests. Drinks were ok. Our friends enjoyed their specialty drink. They said they would try it again.

I stopped into Neighborhood Liquor House this past Sunday after checking out Liquor Lovers…read more Neighborhood is a nice little shop with a good selection...some fairly rare bottles of bourbon just sitting out on the shelf at close to MSRP. The young lady working was polite enough, but never came out from behind the counter. Quite a 180 from my experience at Liquor Lovers. I picked up a bottle of Penelope Wheated and a New Riff for my shelf. I'd go back because of the selection. But the customer service is lacking like a lot of other shops throughout the metro... They say bourbon hunting and the people who do it make up a community all in itself... And part of that community is the store staff. To be personable, to strike up a conversation, to get to know your customers... Especially when good bottles cost $40-$200+ each... It's important.

Their design is kind of cool in that the lanes are on opposite side, one for driver's side and the other for passenger. As I was willing to reach and the line was shorter, I chose passenger. My choices were single cheeseburger, fries, and a lemonade. Great stuff and it was certainly messy dining on all this goodness on the road. A Midwest favorite.

The restaurant does not have an indoor dining area, but there are some tables outside that you can sit and eat at. On Mondays, they have a single burger special. It really draws people in and packs the place. They pretty much only have burgers and fries. I got the bacon western burger. It took them about 8 minutes to prepare. The burger was ok. It did not live up to the hype. I liked that I could taste the flame-broiled flavor, but it also had a frozen-patty taste. The fries were also not up there with the best that I have had. Was I able to eat my food? Yes... but it just did not rank up there with the better burgers I have had. This would not be my go-to spot for burgers. I would more than likely find a different burger joint to satisfy my craving.
