There's plenty of parking nearby so you don't have to walk far. This neat beer bar reminds me of the crowler shops that you used to find around Atlanta, with around 30 taps containing about a thrid local beer, so you can sample several local breweries without visiting each one (they're mostly not too near each other so this is very convenient). The taproom "beertender" seemed to be fairly knowledgeable regarding the various offerings - there's also a convenient list highlighting the different beers with style notes. We sat at the bar and were able to bring in some food from the nearby restaurants (I grabbed some wings at the nearby Marthie Ann's which were excellent). To drink I tried Hoptown's own Orange Mango Wheat - a somewhat basic wheat beer with hings of sweet tangerine and mango - nothing special. I had a Maine Brewing "Lunch" with the wings which is always a winner - it's an exceptional New England IPA. Service was great - I can see myself hitting Ooltewah just to come by for a break in driving.

Knowing they'd probably busy, we made reservations the night before, arrived at the time of reservation and only had to wait a few minutes to be seated. Wait staff was friendly, and attentive, checking on us regularly. The ambiance is very relaxed. We got a picture of mimosas to share, and I got a brisket skillet. The food came out fairly quickly. They did not skimp on the brisket or other fillings, and everything was absolutely delicious. They have a good variety of food options as well as coffee drinks, cocktails, and a full bar with an OK beer list. I'd definitely return and get the brisket skillet, but based on how good it was, I'd also be up for trying some of their other items in the future.

We shared a fried green tomato and smoked salmon appetizer. The fried green tomato was crispy and wen well with the potato salad served with it. My favorite was the smoked salmon appetizer which came with crackers. I ordered the 1885 burger with mac and cheese on the side. The burger was very filling for me and a bit too fatty for my liking. The mac and cheese was a bit bland but I liked the bread crumbs on top.

On the bright side, my salmon and the green beans were delicious. I had some of my husband's shrimp Alfredo and it was incredible! I'd definitely ask to get the salmon with the alfredo next time.

I ordered the Carne Asada, which is usually my "go to" when I eat at a mexican restaurant. Wait time wasn't so bad. The chips and salsa were good too, the tortilla chips were crunchy and salsa was flavorful. But unfortunately, my Carne Asada fell flat. I asked the beef to be cooked at medium but the beef was tough and overcooked. I was surprised at how dry it was. There were some pieces of the beef that were decent, but overall just too overcooked and dry for me. It was pretty disappointing actually for my first time here. Service was great, they were attentive and checked up on us from time to time. I just felt like the Carne Asada price at $17.99 did not correlate with the quality of meat at all. The other sides were good, like the avocado, beans and rice. And the overall portion size was great too. But for the dish as a whole, I can't justify the price for that. I've been to other mexican restaurants in the area with better Carne Asada that I'd choose in a heartbeat. Despite that experience, I'd come back here but I'd definitely order something else.

I didn't hear a single complaint and it was all very filling except the wings. Not sure why the wings are so much and come with no sides. Kids ordered 6 wings and a side of fries ($10.99 + $4.99) when my specialty burger was $15.99 and came with a side. Just seems a little high for me. The food itself was great and the service was definitely better than average. Not sure if there might have been a better deal on the menu for wings but the waitress never mentioned anything. Other than that and the fries never being put in for one of the orders our experience was pleasing. We will return more than likely just will look at other options for the kids.

So we arrive just about 15 minutes early but were immediately seated. It was a bit confusing about where the host stand is since there are two entrances... but no problem because the owner was at the bar to greet us. The customer service is top tier! The venue is beautiful! But the food ... left something to be desired. I ordered the pot roast based on recommendations from the waiter. He also recommended the greens over the green beans. I also added a side of mashed potatoes and fried corn. So first, the plate came out messy (see pic). It would have only taken a second to wipe off the edge of the plate. Then the pot was appeared shredded and covered in thyme and rosemary. Both over powered the meat. I'm wondering if I had the last piece and they covered things up with the extra seasoning from the bottom. My friend also ordered the pot roast and although hers was also chopped, she did not have as much thyme and rosemary- although she complained that it was too much. Next the greens tasted unseasoned and undercooked. The fried corn was not fried but were kernels of sweet corn in some type of cornstarch slurry - awful! The mashed potatoes are boxed but edible however the white gravy was not good. I missed on the menu that the gravy is white - it should be brown. Finally, we received a piece of cornbread- it was very dense but sweet. My friends liked it but I did not. My friends had a mix of feelings from "it was good" to "just ok but I won't take my left overs home." Needless to say I also did not take my left overs home. One saving grace about the meal was the fruit tea! It was delicious! I also ordered two chocolate covered strawberries for dessert and I wished I ordered more! Since it was four friends birthday- the singer (yes there was live music) called out their names and sang a rendition of "Happy Birthday". This same singer had the room up and dancing on several song! She did a wonderful job. Plus the restaurant provided a free dessert to each of the four birthday friends! They all enjoyed their desserts! So the verdict... the venue is beautiful and a vibe for a Saturday night but unfortunately I won't return for the good. There are much better spots for soul food at much cheaper price point!
