We stopped for an early dinner. There were the 2 of us, 1 other table inside, & 1 outside with some…read morefolks at the bar. Our server, Luis, was very polite. Hubby ordered the Herb Roasted Garlic sirloin, medium well & I ordered a Pepperoni Stuffed Meatball Sub w/upgraded side to Mac n Cheese. Hubby asked for fried onions on steak, but his fault for not saying sauteed. The food came quickly with good presentation (steak was completely covered in onion straws). We couldn't wait to dig in. Hubby doesn't want anything less than med well & his steak came pretty red, or Rare-Med Rare. The first bite of my meatball sub was delicious until the spicy kicked in. I wouldn't say I'm a total wimp, but nothing noted spicy in the description, at all, & I probably could have handled it, but I knew it would not be enjoyable for me. We looked around for Luis & figured the obligatory, "how's everything", would bring him soon. Nothing, so, we decided to switch. I like a medium steak, hubby likes spicy, so although not what we anticipated, we began eating. Hubby finished, both drinks were empty, & I had 3 bites left when Luis showed up. We got boxes for our sides & I explained what had happened. When Luis returned, with boxes & the bill, he had discounted the dinner. I started this review with 2 stars, because I was a little angry that no one checked on us sooner, in a basically empty restaurant with 5 servers standing around at the kitchen entrance all through the experience. I added a star back, b/c the food was basically still good, just not what we wanted & the bill was adjusted. I think this all could have been a 4 or 5 star review with some personal attention from a manager & attentiveness to what is going on in the restaurant. I wish we had taken a pic of the rare meat, but hubby took one when it got to the table & after that, pics were not taken.

Service was friendly but a little slow with it being so busy, and it was loud inside. The smoked wings were awesome and one of the best bites -- they're served uncut and the bacon bourbon glaze was incredible. The walleye fingers were on the smaller side and tasted standard. The wedge salad was a little sad and could have used more toppings for the portion of lettuce. The bacon bourbon burger could've used more seasoning in the patty, but the sauce was flavorful. The fries are like Five Guys style and could use a little more salt.

I was looking for a place for my daughter and me to have dinner on a Wed night, and I had always…read morewanted to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience was pretty disappointing. Parking is a challenge. The restaurant's parking lot is much too small for a restaurant of this size, and because it's backed up against hotels, finding a spot meant parking farther away. I ordered the Carolina Summer Risotto (GF) for $21.95 because I love a good risotto, and with very limited gluten-free options, this seemed like the best choice. The menu describes it as saffron risotto with Cajun shrimp, tomato, asparagus, zucchini, squash, arugula, and lemon. What I received was a very small scoop--maybe 1/2 cup--of what tasted more like yellow, sticky rice with shrimp. There was no asparagus at all, and only a couple of small pieces of zucchini and squash cut into tiny chunks. It looked nothing like the photo on the menu. For nearly $22, I expected a much more substantial portion--not something that looked like a food-truck serving in a paper cup from the fair. My daughter ordered the 6-piece chicken strips with fries for $17, and thankfully, those were much better and very generous in portions. The chicken was very moist and, in her opinion, worth the price. The atmosphere was another issue. It was extremely loud, almost to the point where it was difficult to hear the person sitting across from you--even though the restaurant wasn't full. The waitstaff was friendly, which I appreciated, but unfortunately, the 'okay' entree food, portion size, noise level, and parking issues outweighed the positives.

The fries have some really good seasoning on them which made them stand out otherwise they would've been ordinary fries. We got the wings really fast and our food too!

We went for dinner and I was very impressed with their wide selection. I got the dill pickle chicken sandwich and thought the chicken sandwich was really crispy and I really liked their aioli with my fries. I didn't really taste the dill of the pickle spread, however, if you want the dill you can get the dill pickle pizza which one of our friends got and really enjoyed. Husband got the Bacon Patty Melt and he enjoyed it and our other friend got one of the dishes from the tacos, bowls and naan section, which we discovered you can get any of those made as those three options, which I thought was such a cool way to make the menu fit everyone. I actually didn't have any beer but I did have a couple cocktails off the spring cocktail menu and loved both. My friends really enjoyed the Lime Bubble beer and were excited they could buy some to bring back to Wisconsin. The server was the right amount of attentive, we ate inside and I like the mix of restaurant and brewery vibe they had going on. Will definitely go back.

I also appreciated the obligatory warning about the melted middle of my Lucy. Speaking of which, I tried the #7 Burger (it was recommended when I asked as it had more cheese and bacon). The Burger was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The cheese cheater exploded as a good Lucy should. A 10/10 experience. The hand-cut fried added to the experience and were a great compliment to the burger The beer was cold and refreshing, the food superb, and the staff welcoming. Not much more one can ask for.

Loved the ambiance downstairs with all the hanging dollar bills.
