The basket is filled with a good amount. Some good sized curds about the sized of a Brazilian nut. I truly love some fried pickles & an especially picky when it comes to fried pickle SPEARS. Other places have ruined the experience for me, because the spears are not patted dry before the coating process. Which means when you bite into the fried pickle spear- your first bite will rip off a majority of the coating and the spear wasn't coated. Here at KRB, each visit- has been what you'd want your fried pickle experience to be! A full order of chicken wings are what you'd expect. Good enough for two people & served with celery stalks to cool down that tongue. Fried calamari: I'm hungry & love all things crispy & fried. Especially after a long journey to arrive here. The breading is what you'd expect for Country Fried Steak. So different, but, really good. Especially with a nice cold one to wash it down. The Santa Fe Egg Rolls: Three egg rolls cut in half. I still wonder if these are fresh made or frozen? The stuffing inside was delicious & plentiful. Chicken, roasted peppers, black beans, corn, cilantro, jalapeño, & cheese. Served w/ spicy Chipotle dip. Staff is always friendly. We've never sat at the outside areas or the elevated/ second floor inside. There's TVs to watch whatever game near the bat

It was a nice set up with outdoor seating next to the brewery. The staff were very friendly and always looking to top off a water or bring a fresh beer. Food was good with plenty of options for picky eaters. Try the potatoes wedges! We ended up here again for dinner. This time we tried the original pub of the brewery. It was busy but the staff kept things moving. Same beers available here with a slightly different fare. My son, the pickiest eater ever, woofed down a pulled pork sandwich and noted for the fish and chips. One of the better fish and chips meals I've had in a long team. Come hungry and don't forget to pick up some canned brew on the way out.

This place is magical. I almost want to say nothing so you can just experience how special it is…read morewithout any preconception... But I'll say this is a top restaurant experience, make a reservation in advance, and try anything on their delicious menu and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy a breathtaking view of the river and forest, the beautiful wood in the lodge, the friendly staffing. You can make it an elegant night out on white table cloths or come casual. There is outdoor bar seating that is pet friendly but arrive early to get a seat. For indoor seating definitely make a reservation- currently they're open only Thursday-Sunday and in fall-winter opening earlier at 4p to catch the earlier sunset. Edited to say: ate here for a second time this evening. Loved it again. But would say the bread in the filet tip appetizer was really soggy, maybe this is how it is supposed to be but also could not taste the filet well. But still GORGEOUS view. Friendly service. Also have an issue that they included an automatic 3% extra charge for using credit card. The staff should verbally warn you of this fee. Thank you!

The backyard spot is much better for chilling, the front location gets pretty packed. The service is excellent!

If you are in the area, grab a rod, cast your rigs, then grab a beer.

It was nice to be able to walk inside and experience the rustic decor but then eat outside where it's a bit roomier and enjoy some nature. Service was attentive, and the owner stopped by our table to chat. On a Saturday night, a reservation is probably a good idea, and we were thankful we had one, because it was pretty full. The food was all about the steaks, with solid but unmemorable sides, and who could forget a $106, ~38-oz. Tomahawk Ribeye that my friend and I shared? We asked for rare, and were asked back "cold or warm in the middle"? (awesome!). My friend and I both said out loud at once, "cold", and it actually was. Very nice piece of meat done exactly as we wished. As for the prices, you could either wonder why they are so high for a place out in the boonies, or you could be thankful there's such good steak available way out in the boonies.

This is clearly a popular local spot, as seen by the regular customers greeting one another, but it also offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for tourists. There were no issues with ordering or the food. Portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable to fair, especially considering its remote location. Service was prompt, with no major delays. The bathroom is for one customer at a time, but it was surprisingly clean. I would definitely come here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area or passing through. And yes, it's family friendly with kiddos. *Our waitress was just too awesome and accommodating*
