My husband and I split the nachos, and I ordered the tomato bisque and grilled cheese. The nachos were HUGE - like 6 people could have easily shared them - but they were so good, completely loaded with cheese, salsa, pickled onions and jalapenos, beans, and grilled chicken. We barely put a dent in them but not for lack of trying. The grilled cheese and soup were also really tasty. I wish I was less full and able to enjoy it more. Our server was great, and the outside area is lovely. I definitely want to try more of their alcoholic options, and other food options, next time I am in the area.

This was a positive experience due to the following: -Bri…read more(server) was really sweet and personable. She did a good job of managing several tables' needs. -Philly cheesesteak was pretty good, I'd give it a 6/10 -truffle fries were DELICIOUS. Very garlic-y in the best way -chili cheese fries were good Only complaint: -my friend wasn't a fan of the brisket grilled cheese bc she said the brisket was a little too fatty and not the 'melt in your mouth' kind of fat, but 'chewy hard to swallow' kind of fat Overall good experience!

There is a huge sandbox for the kiddos, there's a covered patio to have a few cold ones with signs that remind us all that "Wu-Tang is for the Children", and there is another sitting area at the bottom of the hill by a gorgeous creek. Although I wouldn't recommend carrying a flight down there. Inside there are maybe 8 beers on tap ( I can't remember) but I got a flight that consisted of a Vienna Lager, a Mexican Lager, a Hefe, and a Chapter 2 IPA. All of the beers were solid, but I think the Philadelphia Vienna Lager was my favorite. There was a food menu but wasn't hungry at the time. There were also beer slushies and other items for those who don't drink beer. The service was friendly. My only complaint would be the flight boards are a little flimsy for those tall flight glasses. I almost lost mine before getting to the table.

The outdoor…read morespace is still beautiful and makes for a nice place to relax with a drink, but the dining experience fell well short of expectations. We visited around 3:00 p.m., well before the dinner rush, so we weren't expecting service delays or other issues. Unfortunately, the food was bland, overly oily, and significantly overpriced for the quality. We used to come here regularly and always enjoyed it, but it just isn't what it once was. The dining area was also uncomfortably warm, as the air conditioning didn't appear to be on. The only relief came when the kitchen door opened. Service felt rushed and impersonal as well--we were greeted with a curt "Where do you want this plate?" when our food arrived, which didn't make us feel particularly welcome. The property itself remains a lovely place to spend some time outdoors, but based on this visit, we wouldn't recommend it as a destination for dinner. We hope the restaurant can return to the level of quality and hospitality it once offered.

There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Do know it can get packed on weekends so outdoor seating can be harder to come by.

We recently went on Mother's Day and they were doing a cute brunch and giving out free carnations. I enjoyed their classic cider and exclusive one. They have a pretty big food menu which is nice.

The beer The views The food The music The vibes We haven't been here in sometime but I'm so glad they're still giving five star service. We were looking a little lost coming in, but David grabbed us up and said "I can help you over here". From there it was love at first SIP! He has us at FREE SAMPLE ciders. David took us through the offerings, educating us along the way. He mentioned what ciders are the most flavorful and why. He hung with our curiosity, eagerness to drink and indecisiveness at the same time. Customer service is crucial to a pleasant experience. I can only hope the rest of the staff are as easy going and likes their job as much as he does. Now for the cider. GET THE FLIGHT! Sample and fall in love with options instead of one. We settled on: Pineapple Imperial Berry Summer Slice Paradise Orchard Imperial orange Vat #1 (champagne cider) Imperial All amazing and refreshing selections. Paradise orchard is my new fave. Let's get into this food. We ordered: Tacos w/ house chips Chicken Nachos Cajun Honey wings & fries All great and very fresh made to order, so good, good flavors. My fave were the wings and the house chips. Only notes is out more sauce and seasoning on the wings, I felt like BR was teasing me with a good time. I needed more! Same with the nachos so good. The chips were fresh, but I need more cheese throughout the chips. Chicken was on point. Everything was super super fresh so good. House chips is a huge staple love them. Keep doing them maybe add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if you are reading this and you're debating about coming here get the house chips get a flight get it all. Our total bill $75, but omg we sampled sooo much! Love this place... BR give David a raise!

And yup, I knew I was getting a beyond meat burger and that's fine. Bun was so stale it fell apart as I was eating it. Though, the fries were good so that's a plus. For reference, the plain burger is 15 dollars. So a 7 dollar upcharge for beyond meat. For more reference, 12 oz of beyond meat at Kroger is 6 dollars. I get that restaurants feel comfortable ripping off vegetarians, but if its that hard, I have a pretty good veggie burger recipe you can use. Either way.

The setting was exceptional: perched beside the cidery with a pasture stretching out nearby, it had that perfect mix of open space and laid-back charm. For a first outing, I don't have much to compare it to, but it's hard to imagine a better start. Connectivity was surprisingly excellent--we were pulling 5G UW, which felt like a small miracle and made everything easier. The location couldn't have been more convenient, with trails, venues, and restaurants all close at hand. The cidery itself offered around two dozen options, and the Imperial Peach quickly became our go-to libation. And yes, they've got a happy hour at the cidery--and you already know that's my favorite time of day. Within three miles, you've got IGA, the ABC store, and Beltie's, while Devil's Backbone sits right across the street. The on-site BBQ Beast delivered exactly what you'd hope for--no surprises, just solid, satisfying fare. We lucked into something special during our stay, landing right in the middle of a migration path. One morning alone brought the sights and sounds of over 25 bird species--nature putting on a full show. All told, it's a fantastic place to boondock. We enjoyed it enough to tack on an extra night, which says plenty. Here's hoping the rest of our adventures measure
