Everyone we talked to was really friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. It was right after they opened on a weekday so they weren't too busy. The taproom is fashioned like a viking longhouse and the layout is great for big get-togethers. Not to mention the sprawling campus with gorgeous views. The beer was all pretty solid. Nothing to warrant a trip by itself, but I enjoyed all of them. The Margherita is always my litmus test for a pizza joint and they delivered! The crust was light and airy, really flavorful, and the charring was perfect. The sauce was bright, mozzarella fresh, and the basil (correctly) added after the bake. The pretzel was just as well done. Really fluffy with a crisp crust and just the right amount of chew. Their rotating specialty pizzas all sound amazing so you know next time I'm in the area I'll stop in for a pretzel, pizza, and a few tasters.

The Jamaican Me Crazy coffee is really good. The Veterans, to include myself, around the Eagles Healing Nest always praise how good to the coffee is.

Just amazing and good vibes frfr :) Salute to Jitters entire team as a whole and thank you making not just my day but plenty of others day better. Monte

The attendant who was also a nurse snapped at me "be quiet I can only listen to one person at a time". She was rude, arrogant and did not listen. While our order was being made (30 minutes prior to store closure) she shut out the lights. As we were leaving went to dispose of a napkin that had an apple cord in it. She snapped "don't put that in our trash I don't want anything growing in there". Needless to say 'No TIP'. The worst "Barrister" I have ever met. Should be fired!!!!!

I decided to get a pastrami and a pulled pork sandwich to go. The kid behind the counter actually heated up the two meats in a pan, I thought that was a nice touch. The lady was very nice and served it to me with a smile. I got 4 elk burgers to grill and I have had two. They are kind of gamey in a nice way and super lean. I will add some salt and pepper to it when I grill it up tonight. I might even add a slice of pepper jack to add a little fat to the meal. It went well with a nice side salad and some zucchini sticks. This place was a great small town meat market and there was a vegetable stand in the parking lot and I got some great cherry tomatoes.

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!
