    Flights with a side of chips and salsa- what more could a Texas Girl visiting Delaware want?! :) Super cool brewery, here for Trivia Night, packed house. Love the Gose and jalapeño/pepper IPA! The Pils is smooth, just the way I like them. My go-to every time I'm in Middletown. And btw, loveeeeee the music playlists

    Cool brewery. No frills. All the beers I had were true to their style and all very drinkable. I would come back especially with the live music they have planned.after spending time at the other breweries in the immediate area, I would have just stayed at Jakl, more focused on putting out a great beer product instead of excessive atmosphere or gimmicky food.

    Playing board games.

    Love this place! Great beers and even better prices. Dogs and kids are welcome! They have board games and some kid friendly play areas. We were there when California Taco was catering and the food was delicious! Highly recommend checking this place out.

    Stouts selection and IPA, Belgian!

    Loved the fruited gose, Soul Companion. Easy drinking and not too tart - perfect for a summer day. Glad to have another new brewery in town!

    Such a mixed review & experience. We made reservations for Sunday brunch and glad we did as the…read moreplace got crowded quickly. On one hand I want to try again for dinner but for the price, I'm not sure it's worth it. Pros: Amazing service - very attentive server(s); we had one in training/shadowing and she was just as good as our primary server, offering refills, clearing plates, overall greet banter Cocktails are fantastic - had the Minnie Ripperton and loved it - creamy yet refreshing and bright which is a tough combo to achieve Cons: Hidden entrance - after circling what looked like an abandoned building 2x we finally figured out the entrance was in the backy and down a set of stairs. I now understand the "speakeasy vibe" but the clutter in the front made the building look abandoned or under construction; not a great start to the experience for us Food service - the other couple we were dining with got their entrees about 10 minutes before ours and we were some of the first orders & diners of the day. Usually you might hold the whole table or refire some of the dishes so it all comes out at the same time. They finished theirs before we even got our to start, making it a strange eating experience Small print menu - with the low light of the speakeasy, the menu had the teeeeniest print I've ever seen making it very difficult to read the menu options. We also didn't realize that the menu changes/is seasonal (not called out on the website) so many of the items we had wanted to try were not an available option. I love a menu that changes but hope it's indicated on the website (aka: sample menu, subject to seasonal change) Hit-n-miss: Fried chicken Benedict- huge portions, amazing biscuits and perfectly poached (but unseasoned?) eggs. I don't know if the hollandaise soaked into the fried chicken or never existed at all - and that's the thing you want with a Benedict. If it existed, it never reached the biscuits because while they were good, but were completely dry Shrimp and grits - perfectly cooked, great consistency, but very under-seasoned Water - just an observation and maybe it's just the local tap water flavor but it tasted off or as off the soap hadn't been washed from the glasses Pro Tip: be aware of the automatic gratuity in some circumstances; if you don't know, check the website before your meal!

    I have to go with the majority of other reviewers on a few things here. To start very greasy food,…read moredefinitely low country style dinners here but SO good. Totally worth trying and you will leave soo full. The server was nice and this place was jamming all night. Very tight inside so definitely a cool date spot. It's dark in here, like old people with the phone flashlight dark but I didn't mind honestly. The only thing that threw me off was this bathtub drink... You won't finish your food but you'll be excited for left overs !

Perfect spot to let the kids run while the food is being prepared. Originally seated outside, our party opted to be re-seated in a shadier spot, under cover. Too much direct sun. A DJ conducted a version of musical Bingo with Crooked Hammock gift cards as prizes. It was very entertaining, especially since one of our table won a round! Our waitress, Kaitlyn, was great. She gave plenty of time to take the order and once delivered, Kaitlyn came back frequently to check in and provide drink refills.

I came at around 5 PM, and it was beautiful outside, but a little hot in the sun. The hostess was willing to see me in a table around the corner, where there was a nice breeze. We had a great server, who was very attentive to our needs. People enjoyed the various food offerings, including the pasta, which had a kick to it. I ordered the chicken thighs, which is a rare treat to find on a menu. My only disappointment was that they were a bit overcooked and dried out. Perhaps it was the time of day, but who knows. Other than that, I would come back and try another dish someday.
