Love the vibe of this place, it feels very southern barn bar yet not in a cheap dirty way. They…read morehave flights of moonshine or whiskey and the service is good. They also have fresh lemon water instead of the boring old tap water. I'd go here if you're looking for a peaceful place to relax and enjoy a few drinks to some Gumbo from the Gumbo Shop who serves out of here. They have live music but not that evening; would love to come see like a folk band to match the vibe of the bar. Note: Bar is cashless! Not problems here just be aware if you stop in. Naturally though, bartenders love a CASH TIP

Yummy!! Enjoyed the Valentine's Day Shrimp Fest! Can't wait to go back and try more southern food!!read more

At the bar I sampled some of the Monkey Face brand gin, rum, Brandy, and whiskey. Also, I had the monkey bites which is flat bread pizza like snacks. All told it was a very nice time. I tried a fancy spring mixed cocktail too. Very refreshing

Update: Almendra has now become a steakhouse. We decided…read moreto give it another chance and we're glad we did! VERY pleasantly surprised. The food is much better than before. We arrived too early for the steak dinners, but we were able to enjoy really DELICIOUS burgers. The service was good as well. Prices are very high though and that's unfortunate. We'd love to have Almendra be one of our regular lunch/dinner spots, but it's way too expensive for that.

You cannot beat a wine tasting for 7 wines for $5 and you get to keep the wine glass! The winery is small, but charming as could be. Most of the time, you will be outdoors, so be prepared for that. They have plenty of picnic tables and chairs though. The wine was not outstanding (hence the 4 stars), but their wine is all organic. The Petite Syrah was my favorite. Definitely worth the visit!

Fresh air and shade. The HH menu had lots of great food and drink choices at a great price point. Fresh ahi, salads, and great fried snacks like cheese curds. I didn't leave room to try any of the burgers and other items on the regular menu. They share a large parking lot with the rest of their TH businesses- the restaurant, lodge, brewery and distillery.

Cocktails were average, nothing to write home about. But what was super surprising was how good their sweet potato fries were - perfectly crisp, well-salted, and their house dipping sauce was fire. Staff weren't the friendliest and it took a lot longer than expected to get the bill, but the atmosphere was super nice. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if you're already in the area, I'd definitely stop by for some of those sweet potato fries!

This place is the epitome of a hidden gem!…read more Tucked away in the EDH Business Park, inside what looks like a typical office-style building, you would never expect to walk into a space that's so warm and inviting. The interior is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff is some of the friendliest and most welcoming you could imagine. Amanda, our bartender, was a blast to chat with and made us feel welcome right away -- like we were old friends. The food was incredible. I had the Calabrian chicken sandwich, which was packed with flavor, juicy, and downright delicious. My buddies ordered the steak sandwich and the burger, and both were raved about. The cocktails were amazing as well, made with locally distilled spirits, which was a great touch. This place feels like a speakeasy, and once people start stepping inside, the word is definitely going to get out. It's that good.

There were several other people there when we stopped in. The tasting bar is in the front and he has all of the spirits out that you can try. He has gin, whiskey and brandy.

He knows his stuff, is entertaining and fun, and loves talking about Auburn and our local community, his experience, and tasting notes of the spirits. If you're out and about on a Saturday afternoon, drop by to sample some. I really liked his brandys (pear, blood orange, and grape) as they were all sourced locally. He took care of explaining where he sources his ingredients. It is indoor/outdoor and is fun to come up to his table, have a conversation, and enjoy the afternoon!

The food is good, the drinks are good, and so is the crowd. Check it out!

Been here a few times after the farmer's market, and I've always had an acceptable time. On a…read morerecent brunch, I split the loco moco and musubi bowl with my gf. To start, it was the kentucky derby, so we started with some mint juleps. Man, it was just straight bourbon. There wasn't any flavor to the drink and it really didn't sit well with my stomach, so it wasn't a great start. The loco moco and musubi plate were solid. Honestly, great umami flavors from the filipino / hawaiian heritages, but I felt the proportions to be small and wasn't fully satisfied at the end. At the end of a meal like that, I prefer to be completely satiated and I always kind of leave this place wanting, which is my biggest critique. The crab rangoon was solid, and probably the highlight for me. In the end, this can be a 4 star place considering the vibe. It has a cool patio and the inside bar is dope. There a few TVs to view sports. It can be a great brunch spot honestly. However, I want to bring it down a notch bc of personal food experience. I still would come back. Regarding the service, you order at the bar. Everyone is very nice. It can take a minute. If you have a squad, I would have someone on seat duty, because it can get packed.
