    House beer! Rails and Ales!!!
    Tomica D.

    Let me just say that I love this place!!! The atmosphere is always good and the people are soooooo friendly!!! They have a great drink menu(which changes) and they have different food trucks that come out on Thursday, Friday and s. They have wifi and they are kid and pet friendly (must be accompanied by an adult if under 18) Wendsday night they have trivia and on Tuesday nights they have family feud. Friday,Saturday and Sunday you can expect to be serenaded by live music. You have a choice to sit inside at a table or at the bar or outside on the deck. This place is so worth giving a chance!

    Absolutely love this place! Great atmosphere and super friendly. We brought our kids and hung out on the back patio on Taco Tuesday. I love the variety of trucks they bring in!

    Very diverse selection of brews!
    Levi J.

    Stopping in for a brief moment I had a flight of the beer selections I normally gravitate to. This brewery offers a variety of genre's from ales to stouts. Of the few I did try I must say that I'll have to come back and sample the others.

    Love this place! Only 10 mins from my house. They always have changing beers and great food trucks usually Thursday - Saturday. Can't get enough.

Overall consistently have been happy with everything I have eaten, but I will say that while still pretty good the burgers are not as good as they were early on. One of the big draws for me has always been the outdoor patio area that is shared with the other businesses that are part of the Trussville Entertainment District (TED). The covering over the area keeps you out of the direct sun but still has a very open air feel. On my most recent visit I got the Feral Smash Burger with Cheddar instead of American Cheese. I ordered the tots for my side because I swore that I had gotten them many times in the past. Looking back at all my photos, clearly I was mistaken. Since I am not a big fan of sweet potato the bartender brought me fries instead to go with my side of Beer Cheese which is well worth the added cost. Depending on when you go, you may have to go inside to order at the bar for the outdoor seating (such as I did today). Other days when the TED is busier and peak times you can order at the outdoor bar. For solo lunch dining I prefer other options in the TED but Ferus is great for groups and outdoor dining. I am sure I will be back especially when my daughter comes to town since she likes to refill her growler with the seasonal sours.

    Hidden Gem That Lives Up to the Hype…read more This spot in Trussville, AL is great. I came with friends after seeing how strong the reviews were, and it definitely lived up to them. What looks like a typical sports bar is actually a well-known gem for a reason. The food was excellent across the board. We ordered mozzarella sticks, shrimp, chicken tenders, and fries everything came out hot, fresh, and really well done. Our server was kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was exactly what you'd want lively, fun, and comfortable. The price was right too, actually coming in under what I expected, which made the experience even better. Overall: Easy 5/5, this place knows it's good, and it should.

    We have dined in a couple of times but mostly do take out for dinner. When we did dine in, we…read moreapparently timed it right and didn't have a wait to be seated but often I drive by and see a full parking lot. The sports bar atmosphere is a very loud environment so it is not conducive to a lot of talking but still an enjoyable experience. My wife really likes the Zydeco Salad (sweet chili-glazed fried shrimp, mixed greens, cabbage, candied pecans, jalapeños, tortilla strips, red onions, bell peppers, jack cheese, pepper jelly vinaigrette). Pepper Jack Boudin (jack cheese, pepper jelly vinaigrette) is almost always a part of our order. If you have never had, I recommend you give them a try. The Voodoo Shrimp & Grits (bacon-wrapped jalapeño and cream cheese stuffed-shrimp tossed in sweet chili glaze, served with cheddar grits) are an interesting take on the traditional Louisiana dish. I had never had corn mixed in with my grits before but it was a nice addition. The dish is large enough to split, especially when you add the boudin and Beignet Bites for a full meal. The Seafood Poboy with a choice of boom boom shrimp, fried shrimp or fried catfish with tomato, lettuce, pickles, mayo, poboy bread is another great option.

I remember going to Marty's PM all the time when I was in my 20's after a shift. So I was shocked to see the banner one day when I was picking up some Chinese take-away for lunch. First of all let me tell you this is a Safe Space for LGBTQ people. Sarah, Leslie, and Austin are legends. The whole staff is so sweet and the people are really friendly. There's another really cute guy who tends bar and I am so bad with names it kills me. I popped in a few weeks after they opened and I'm now a weekly regular. Best of all, NO ONE UNDER 18 Allowed! So no kids running around. It's a dream come true. The bar has a great selection of canned and bottled beers with a Happy Hour that helps your wallet. A good selection of wine and liquor to. No draft as of yet, but ya don't need it. My Usual order is a IPA and a Shot of Fernet. But I can never leave without a Resting Peach Face Frozen Cocktail or a Bushwhacker. Ask for a Fernet Topper on you're Bushwhacker. I call it the Emmy Jane Special, no one else does XD. Trust me it works. I love the Egg Rolls and The Burgers. The Dutch boy is a fave, but the Big Mick is also delish. They have a lot of weekly events, Karaoke, Trivia, Live Music. Follow their Facebook for their yummy weekly specials.

This visit was not better or worse. Simply the same 3 star experience from 2 years ago.
