Walked in expecting a normal dinner, immediately realized we had made a tactical error in the best way possible. The place was packed, loud, and had that kind of energy you can't really fake. Solid 10/10 on vibes if you're in the mood for it (and even if you're not, you adjust quickly). Despite being clearly short staffed, the service was impressively good. Not "everything is perfectly on time" good, but "everyone is working hard, communicating, and actually cares" good. They were very upfront and apologetic about the delays, which honestly went a long way. Food came out a bit slower than usual (again, not surprising given the circumstances), but overall I'd put it at a strong 8/10. Nothing overhyped, just well-executed and worth ordering again. I had the classic lager and it was meh. This is very subjective I realize but I'd rate it a 4 or 5/10. All things considered, it could have easily been a frustrating experience walking in on one of the busiest nights of the year, but it wasn't. Credit to the staff for keeping things running and keeping the tone positive. I'd come back, ideally on a slightly less festive evening, but also kind of glad I saw it at full capacity.

We were finally greeted and seated by our waiter. He was the star of the place. Super attentive, polite, professional, and patient. The ambiance here is cool. There's indoor seating and outdoor seating. The decor was nice and the place felt clean. No complaints there. The issue was the food. We ordered the hot honey wings, the grilled chicken Cobb, the gilga-burger, the guacamole bacon burger, and the campus burger. None hit the mark. When you walk into a brewery that looks this great, you kind of expect more from the food. The wings didn't have flavor. The burgers had the taste of old grease. It left us all disappointed. Overall, the ambiance was great and our waiter was awesome, but the food left a lot to be desired.

I sent an email and the baker responded that they used the recipe from Betty Crocker's The Cooky Book - which was exactly what my Mom used. Their pastries are superb, and not too sweet. Flaky croissants, Danish's with ripe local fruit, cinnamon rolls with and without raisins (I'm team raisin). Their quiche is delicious - some have a potato crust. Their sandwiches are generous and every soup I've tried is absolutely more-ish. The staff is friendly, kind, and involved in their community. They have a fund, kept up by them and other downtown businesses, that assures the UPS driver never pays for his lunch (I love this so much.). Since Nov. 1, they're offering 1/2 sandwich + soup lunch free to those who receive SNAP benefits. (Anyone can donate $$ to keep that going) Stop by and support this awesome local business!

The service is great, with it being small the fear may be too little staff to stretch all responsibilities however, based on our experience they communicate and flow seamlessly together as a team! If you're looking for a good, welcoming, and comforting breakfast this is the place! With even sweet treats available!

THe seating area was great, with a roof providing shade but still allowing for fresh air. Service was very friendly and very attentive. I ordered the Bacon Cheddar burger and my companion went with the Cowboy Philly Sandwich, both with fries. The Bacon Cheddar burger was great. A thick beef patty was paired with bacon and cheddar. The sauce was a nice, creamy 1000 island. It was rich and messy. The fries were good too. The brioche bun was soft and rich; it held up nicely. The Cowboy Philly Sandwich was an interesting combination of beef brisket, pepper jack cheese, grilled onions and red peppers. The sauce was a chipotle mayonnaise. There was slaw on the side. I just had a bite, but it all tasted good and went together well. This is a solid place for a good breakfast or lunch/dinner with great service.

I love the airport theme with model planes hung about the dining area. There isn't a whole lot of seating, so it gets packed fast, even on a weekday like when I went with my family. There is plenty of parking, though, so no worries about that. The service is fantastic. They have friendly personalities and are attentive. You could tell they got to know their regulars. The food was delicious and plentiful. There were so many options to choose from that I was afraid I'd regret my selection. Having sampled around my table, I can say with confidence that probably everything here tastes great. The hash browns were crisp, and the omelets were cooked perfectly. Definitely worth the prices!

My wife picked the Banana Foster Pancakes, and I ordered Peach Crisp Stuffed French Toast. The plates arrived, and both looked delicious. They both came with eggs and choice of meat (bacon, ham, or sausage). The banana foster pancakes were very good. Then, we tasted the peach french toast. OMG! They were amazing! I know what I'm ordering next time we go here. They were so good that we asked the staff to make sure they weren't just a seasonal special.
