The sign may be hard to see but once you walk down the stairs, you will find a lot of space to have a drink or play shuffle board.

Silly me... I forgot my credit card on the table. After an evening of dancing I went to pull out my credit card for a gas purchase and found my error. Upon arrival at the Cast Iron, Drew called me by name & pulled my credit card from the cash drawer. Was I ever relieved. Integrity... a character trait that will ensure my loyalty. Not to mention an inviting atmosphere, great service & food with a depth of flavor. Thanks Cast Iron

This was by far one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. We decided to get a table…read moreoutside as it was a nice evening and we had our dog with us. Our waitress seemed friendly enough as she engaged in conversation with us about our dog and asked if she could have a milk bone and we said . She went and got water for us, which came in a nice bottle, but was then served with two nasty plastic cups that had spots all over them and chips around the rim. It took a while for her to come back around to take our drink order but when she did, we ordered specialty drinks, my husband got the Southern Jam which, after one step I could tell by the look on his face, he was disgusted by it and I got the mocktail Farmer Tan which was spicy and hard on my throat, I guess it was the chipotle. We weren't super hungry so we only ordered appetizers. We got the melting pot fries and the hot shrimp and crab dip. I guess they're trying to be unique by using Chick-fil-A fries because that's exactly what they tasted like and you could barely taste the truffle or the Parmesan. The shrimp and crab dip came out and was a bright orange. It almost looked like it was supposed to be a buffalo dip. We've never seen any type of crab dip like this before. It had absolutely no flavor. We couldn't taste any crab it's only big chunks of shrimp, but again after three servings of it, there was no flavor and it was impossible to wash any of this food down with the nasty drinks. There were three other tables filled while we were outside, and the sun was beaming down. One of the customers got up and tried to turn the fan on with no luck. It didn't work and it seemed like the waitress had disappeared. We didn't see her in a while. I'm finally I had to go to the bar and ask for the check myself once she came out with it. My husband gave her his card and when she came back, we discovered that we had been rung up with someone else's bill, which was $30 more than ours. I then went up to the window again, and the bartender was ringing up somebody else so he couldn't help me and told me that the waitress would fix it. She then came out with the correct receipt, but we still had no evidence of the the wrong charge on our card which my husband checked his account and had already been charged for. So I went back up to the window again and asked for a receipt showing that the credit was made or avoid or something, and the waitress was getting flustered because she didn't know how to do that and had to call someone else over to help her. They said they've avoided the transaction, but couldn't print anything out showing it just said the charge has been made so now we have to monitor our account to make sure that this was indeed credited to us. After having a horrible food experience, and then being charged for the wrong bill, we will never be back here again. Oh and we never got the milk bone for a dog either. UPDATE: I see the owner has responded and I do understand how a bank works because I used to actually work for one. # 1) I have not been calling you. #2) The majority of the review was about the food, drinks and service. Get your facts straight before you do a public unprofessional response. All the more reason to not recommend this business to anyone. The right thing to do would have just been to apologize for the bad experience like any professional business owner which you're clearly not.

There was a huge outdoor space for kids and families complete with some games and picnic tables. We sat in the closed-in porch area and were treated to some live music on a Saturday. The beer was solid - hubby. and I split a flight and enjoyed the marionberry wheat and Sweet Nala stout. We liked their logo "Soil to Suds" and bought a few shirts - they even had a bunch of shirts on sale for $5! Great place for family time at a brewery.

There is seating both inside and outside. The inside is a bit stark on the inside with drywall on the walls and ceiling. I woulds have loved if they had lined the walls and ceiling with something like pine. I've sampled a number of their brews. My fave brews thus far are two ales: - Snafu (Strong Ale) - The Donkey Calleth (Imperial IPA) They have a small popcorn machine for snacks (which is free) - but other than that, as far as I can tell - there are no other food options. The folks who run the place are super nice. There is no WiFi network and they currently do not accept Apple Pay. #FourJsFarmAndBrewery

They took it back to remake it correctly. In the meantime we didn't get any water refills the entire time every one was eating. We needed ranch and sauce but the server never came back after our food was delivered by someone else. Later my steak came out with no steak knife. So I have no idea if it was cooked right the second time. None of the servers would make eye contact with us so that we could politely wave them down for a knife so I could eat my steak. And our server still didn't come back. Also, unlike other steak restaurants where if they mess up your steak, so they bring you new sides to enjoy your meal all together, they only brought out the steak. 15 min after my steak was brought our server finally showed up. Everyone else was ready to go. So I asked them to take back the untouched steak and remove it from the bill. They did but no one came to apologize or offer any kind of recompense. Please enjoy the pretty picture of the steak I didn't get to eat.

But by the time we left, the outdoor seating was almost packed, so be safe and make reservations, if you can. The menu is amazing, so many options that all looked appetizing. I can say that everything we got was nicely made and tasted great! Their burger is definitely really good, you can taste the freshness of the locally raised beef. The bun and everything about it was really nicely done. Right now, they have a seasonal starter of pumpkin beignets which we got... they didn't resemble the form, nor texture of any beignets we've ever gotten, but they sure did taste really good! (We did have to wait quite a while for plates from our server so we could share them though) Their onion rings and fries are both amazing. The dip that comes with the onion rings is so very tasty! Sitting outside is beautiful, right on the pond and they have heaters to help take the cool off when it's chilly. We'll definitely return!

We've had days of grabbing a drink and sitting around in their soft seating reading a book. I've only had coffee and I think it's a good, basic coffee. I like mochas and I believe they use Ghirardelli syrup for those. The mocha tends to skew sweet, which is fine with me. They're not very rich drinks. There are also a lot of other flavors, which I think are your standard syrups (they can be fine and so many cafes use them, but they sometimes are a bit artificial tasting.) The staff is always friendly and accommodating.

Just remember your alcoholic drinks should cost less than your meal, if you are the driver. The steak fajitas have always been tender and tasty. The sides have always been delicious. I even like their refried beans. Their fajita carnitas are flavorful. If possible, go before 6pm to avoid the crowd. If you like to wait for a table and like to eat with the roar of the crowed around you, then go after 6pm. Whenever you go, the food will always be tasty and flavorful. Fajita Carnitas and Steak Fajitas have always been served warm. Wait staff is attentive and atmosphere is very nice. I hope you have an enjoyable meal at El Jaripeo.
