The food came out in a reasonable manner but our server couldn't have been any slower. 10-15 minutes before she came to take our order. Forgot to bring a drink, then spilled the drink. When we were done eating we sat there for a good 15-20 minutes until we grabbed another waitress to get our bill and to go while our server stood chatting with other guests the majority of the time we were there. Really a shame because the food was good. Plenty of allergy friendly options. Burger was cooked well and flavorful. Bacon could have been a little more crisp but not bad. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well but the service really brought it down

You can sit wherever you'd like and there are games and stuff to use while you're there. For a beer company, the selection was fairly small. They did have canned cocktails that were local though!

I would highly recommend stopping by or check out their other location in Lancaster. We will definitely be dropping by again.

As we were pedaling past Hell In A Bucket, my fiancée said we should stop there on our way back. Sure enough, we stopped by to reward ourselves for taking on the 28-mi NW River Trail. What a place!!! Seriously! First of all, we wanted to sit at the bar (our usual preference when dining out, if it's possible). The bar was full, but there was one stool open. A guy noticed that we were looking for another stool, and he gladly gave up his place so we could sit and eat together. I later found out that he was the owner and Brewer @ Hell In A Bucket. He had moved to a few chairs down and was talking to his friend explaining how the Dark Star Stout was brewed. The DSS was superb! Janie, my fiancée, picked the Harry Hood 12oz. Which she enjoyed. While these beers were absolutely what "the doctor ordered" after our bike ride, the best was yet to come. We were handed a sheet with today's specials. I did not expect a brewery to have "daily specials" at least not in the form of food. The specials included a Souvlaki Mediterranean Sampler (think, a charcuterie with goodies from Italy and Greece). We also chose an another special called Arancini (a baseball sized cheesy risotto deep fried to perfection). Lastly, we shared the "Pasta of the Day" -- Eggplant Parmigiana on a bed of pasta. Everything was Amazing! We continued to compliment the chef when the owner said he only started a short time ago. I said, "Keep him!" Our dinner tasted like we were eating at a 5-Star NYC restaurant right here in Marietta. ...and at a price that was so reasonable that I KNOW I'll be back! Aside from the great beers, the phenomenally great food, I also have to say that Hell In A has a great vibe. We know we'll be coming back, maybe without even riding the trail!

First- Walking in and getting stares was awkward. It appeared that a majority of the patrons…read moresitting at the bar are "usuals" and it's a very "everybody knows your name" type of place. No one greeted us- which is ok but we were a little confused about seating since there was indoor and outdoor. We figured out that we were to find our own table and order at the bar. Which, again, was fine, except there was a sign to view the menu using a QR code- also fine, but we couldn't find the QR code- anywhere. We eventually found paper menus. I ordered the soup of the day which was tomato based with chicken and mozzarella. It was the best part of the meal. I got the pulled pork sliders on pretzel buns. It was so dry. I needed to ask for mustard. That helped some but overall the taste was average at best. The biggest, and oddest, disappointment was the cucumber and watermelon seltzer. There was a very distinct taste that I couldn't put my finger on until I forced myself to take three sips. Finally I pegged the taste as pepto bismol - which is definitely not cucumber or watermelon. It certainly had to have been a bad batch. A very strange and very unsatisfying experience. Maybe it was just a fluke. I like to give places second chances because you never know what the story is and it could have been an off night. But, this place won't make it back on my list. One positive is that they had a few option of non-alcoholic beer.

The man who waited on us at the bar area was rude. He greeted us as well as other customers with "what's up?" which I thought was so ignorant. Almost 50 years old and never had that kind of greeting at a food establishment. Also left us standing there for a decent while to just pay for tab as he was assisting all the bar customers with making sure they were completely taken care of first. Only helped us as the line was growing. There was one other woman working so they could definitely use help. Aside from the staff taking your orders at the bar area, it is completely self-serve. I would recommend this place for the food but not the drinks or the staff.
