After stopping by the Abraham Lincoln House and library, we came across this microbrewery and had…read moreto go in! They also have a cidery, but it wasn't open during this season. Thankfully we still were able to get one cider, and they had a selection of other beers. The cider was tart and refreshing, and I really like the berry mocktail, which had ginger beer, and a mix of berries in it. As for food, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich came with a lot of heat which was great. I got the dry rub version, which is spicer than the saucy version. The horseshoe sandwich is a local favorite, which is an open faced sandwich with sliced bread topped with meat (we got the angus beef), fries, and cheese sauce. It was quite heavy and creamy because of all the sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and our server was very friendly, although service was on the slower side.

There's a limited menu at the brewery, order drinks and food at counter and pager sounds to let you know when your order is ready. There's several outdoor games, jumbo Connect Four, beanbags, etc. to keep patrons amused and occupied. My chicken Caesar wrap was fresh and tasty, quesadillas reported as good. Not a bad way to spend a warm evening. I'd like to see an alternative floor outside, mini gravel not comfy when it gets into your sandals!

It's been several years since we've dined here and it was a very snowy day, sign on the door said…read morethey were going to close early due to the weather but we still had plenty of time for lunch. Even though they seemed really busy but we were seated right away. My wife had the house salad and added grilled chicken, I ordered the hamburger ponyshoe because I heard they were really good here. Our food came out extremely fast (too fast for fresh cooked food) the French Fries on my Pony shoe were a little undercooked and soft and the burger seemed to be precooked because it was barely warm and the cheese sauce was still hot. It was okay but I wouldn't order it again especially when the best Ponyshoe/Horseshoe in the state is at another restaurant just around the corner. Because the atmosphere and service was great we will probably be back but will try something different next time.

I went with the pork tenderloin "pony"shoe, and it was more than enough. My only issue was that I prefer white cheese sauce, and they serve the beer cheese sauce. Big difference if you're a horseshoe fan. Nice place though, and I'd go there to try other food options.

When the time to select food came around, we decided that, "well I guess we can eat there." Boy am I glad we decided that. Easily became one of the top 10 we've been too in the country. We both ordered the filet, wife 4 oz, me 8 oz. The steak had FLAVOR and a slight crust. Flavor seems to be hard to come by nowadays. Let me tell you, the whipped mashed potatoes are to die for. Best I've ever had literally. I asked if they put aged white cheddar in them. Nope! Just heavy cream, a lot of butter and potatoes. Please go. In a town of 12,000 you wouldn't expect to find a restaurant like this. Service was impeccable too. 0 disappointment.
