We waited for a table for a bit and it was alright to wait because the band had started. We had an appetizer of fried pickles. They were delicious. I had the smash burger which was phenomenal. My husband had the pulled chicken and said it was alright, not great. The mixed drinks seemed watered down and the beer is in cans and bottles only. Or server was attentive. It was a $100 night with drinks, food and tip. Reasonable priced food and (several) drinks

Always consistent with the quality of food and drinks they serve. The service from the hostess to the servers is always great. If you go on a busy night, you might have a wait. It can get loud at times, but not intolerable. We had Southwest chicken wraps and fries on one late afternoon visit and it was good. I love their fries. The next time we stopped in was a busy Friday night. We each had a steak (filet and ribeye), which is served with side salad and baked potato. The steaks were both more medium rare than medium, but had good flavor and we still enjoyed them. We also had cheese sticks for an appetizer while waiting on the steaks, and those are served with ranch and marinara. They were good too!

The staff doesn't seem to care too much about providing information or interaction and instead I suppose we're all just a transaction. Not my favorite experience at a craft House brewery with food. There's too much information to enjoy for the people who work there to fail to engage. Overall the wait was ridiculous. Priced kinda high compared to many other places.

The spacious outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying a day with friends watching planes come and go while enjoying some delicious food and drinks! I had their elote dip and pork chop and it was some of the tastiest food I have ever had. My only complaint was the grits had zero flavor to them. Everything else was absolutely amazing! I highly suggest checking this unique dining experience out. Especially if you know any plane lovers!

I went here for my birthday with reservations at 6pm. Thursdays are buy one get one half off for…read moreappetizers. Another person and I got appetizers as our meal and we got one as a table. The waitress encouraged us to order another to get "the deal" so we did get one to go. By the time we got our food we had been there an hour and a half already which was fine. But by the time we finally tracked someone down for a check We were there 2.5 hours at this point. Our waitress was busy, which again was fine but we needed to leave as it was nearing 9pm so that's why we grabbed someone and asked to split the check three ways. Then our waitress came back and said because we split it three ways we didn't get the appetizer deal. We asked if she could redo the checks then and she said "no I can't redo them" which I don't feel is true. So now we paid full price for an appetizer we were encouraged to get for "a deal" and no discount, no appetizer comped, but we left after three hours there with three beer tokens as an apology I guess. We live over an hour a way so these are useless. I've been once before and now I'm upset I recommended and took my whole family here for my birthday. Definitely not worth the drive.
