    Fish sandwich and fries
    Carrie D.

    We came with a large group but service was still fast and good! Loved our food and drinks and the space was clean and comfortable!

    A group of us went here to end the night. There are two rooms inside and lots of outside seating. I had a Peace Tree and my wife and I shared the nachos. Overall it was good, although the food felt a little bit over priced for what you get. I would go back again, but would love to wait until we can sit outside.

    Love the outdoor area! Chill vibe. Great stop along the bike trail. Convenient QR code for ordering.

    Vegetarian Reuben and brussel sprouts
    Christine I.

    I loved my sandwich and brussel sprouts here. Ever had a vegetarian Reuben made with beets? Have a friend that's vegetarian and want to grab a drink with them? Get the vegetarian rueben. Literally my favorite sandwich here. And their brussel sprouts are amazing, I lowkey wish I ordered two. I will say their wings aren't all that. But they got a big menu so good variety. Anyway the service was also good, staff was friendly. The ambience is an open space setting. Honestly I recommend eating at the bar area rather than dining. The bar area just seems nicer unless the weather is nice and you can sit outside.

    Vegetarian Reuben

    A fun restaurant. Inside and outside. Not as scenic as some Des Moines places as the levy blocks the view Of the river Big variety of beers. I tried the raspberry wheat beer. Interesting flavor. They also do something nice, you can get a little taste Of two of their beers for free. Outside the ordering is with a QR code. What we Ordered came super quick and we had lots If attention. Great system. Got the vegetarian Reuben. I liked it but the beets were crunchy. I would have preferred them to be cooked a Little more. But the flavor was good. The fries were really good They have soft serve ice cream. Tonight was vanilla and pineapple whip. If they have those Flavors mix them. Devine!!!! Would definitely go back

    Drinks great. Sub par food. I got tacos. Dry and skimpy meat. One whole taco was empty. Wife didn't care for her food as well. Patio hospitality charge 3%? We also ordered and paid at our table on our phones without help from a host. For spending a fair amount of money on a meal out with the family, and to have an expensive bad experience is disappointing. I will be back at some point, but probably just for the patio and beer.

    Grilled Buffalo chicken salad
    Tony H.

    My wife and I arrived around noon on a Saturday. Surprisingly it wasn't busy which is ok with me . I have been excited to check this place out! It is a cool layout- two patios (one in front, one in back. The front one looks really cool I can't wait to ride my bike there during patio weather. My wife wants me to mention it was cold in there LOL. We ate in our coats. It was probably lower- mid 60s in there. I get it there's garage doors and brick walls. I sampled the galaxy wide haze- that was really good I just didn't want an 8% at noon. They have very good beers there I wanted to try them all but I settled for a whirl wide hazy- also tasty. We started out with the buffalo chicken salad and switched the chicken to grilled instead of fried. (Pic attached) we chose the ranch- so good! It was like dill which I've never had. Also, we got the bleu cheese dressing ( also recommend) I highly recommend especially if you don't wanna eat to heavy. You could split it too really it's a good portion. Then we ordered the CLT (cucumber lettuce tomato) it came with onion but we just picked that off and added bacon LOL. It also came with a whipped goat cheese spread. Also in the pic are the Brussels that we substituted the fries for. Very glad we did that. They were some of the best - they come with hoisin, little peanuts and cilantro. not too oily like a lot of Brussels come. Once again we over ordered but we finished everything. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back many times!

The staff was super friendly and attentive. It does get busy, though, so it can take some time to be waited on. The vegan mushroom French dip was phenomenal! A friend and I shared the sandwich and fries, along with the vegan miso mac with tofu, and everything was SO good! The bread was soft, the sauce took me back, and the mushrooms were . The sandwich got the right kind of soggy, soaking up all that delicious sauce. And they have THE BEST fries, which are mostly soft shoestring fries. IYKYK. The miso mac is spicy, so you may want to request the chili sauce on the side or ask them not to stir it all in. So grateful they have a vegan menu (don't forget to ask for it ) and that they're continuing to expand their vegan options!

It was a touch past lunchtime but the bar area was still busy, yet had seats open. We sat at the end and after some time was given some a water carafe and 2 small glasses (with no ice). She (never gave us her name) then came back for our drink order. And immediately asked for food, which we were not ready for. We gave her our drink order, after that we never seen her again. Sat there awhile. For so long we started looking at other restaurants around to eat. Then we she finally looked our way my husband made a motion to pay so we could just leave. Name on the receipt said AM B. Needless to say, we won't be back. Nor will we ever recommend it.

It is right off the trail, has free water, free live music, free bike parking, and a great patio. Add in cold local beer at fair prices, and it is pretty hard to complain. The people serving were mostly friendly, the beer was very good, and the selection is always great. If you go inside and head up the stairs, the selection gets even better. My only suggestion: please consider selling mix-and-match 4-packs or single cans to go. We wanted to buy some to take with us, but we could not agree on one flavor, so we skipped buying more and just stuck with what came out of the tap. For cyclists, bridge beers and bike beers are a real thing, and it feels like there is a missed opportunity there. That said, we will absolutely be back for all the "free" stuff, the local beer, and that amazing patio. Great trail stop, great beer, and a perfect place to take a break. Keep up the Lord's work. Cheers!

Plenty of bicycle parking, outdoor shaded seating with an outdoor bar and they were hosting a food truck. More of an A/C type, there is seating inside with the main bar and a variety of board games to keep you entertained. I appreciate the wide variety of beers, including a couple sours, seltzers and NA options. Staff were friendly and super helpful! What a great night out.

Given the availability of a table and its proximity to the Wicked show presentation last night, we decided to give it a try again with our guests. While all of the food we had was definitely above average, the service was extremely slow - both for beverages and food. After almost 10 minutes without anyone stopping at the table, I decided to walk up to the bar to order a beer - since I wanted to sample a couple before making a choice anyway. While our waitress showed up while I was gone, took drink orders for the others and apologized profusely for not knowing that she was covering our table...it didn't get any better from there. My drink (from the bar) was completely consumed before the others were delivered at the table. Our table reservation was at 6:00, so we thought we had plenty of time to eat and get to our 7:30 showing. However, it turned out to be after 7:00 before our food arrived, as we waited over 30 minutes, with apologies for the delays and assurances that it was almost ready. Finally, on to the food. My wife ordered the 12oz Ribeye w/ Crispy Reds (see picture). The flavor was good and it was cooked as ordered (Medium Rare) - however, it was cool to the touch, so was obviously setting outside of a warmer for an extended period. The Crispy Reds potatoes were quite tasty, especially when dipped in the side of ranch dressing (yes, I stole more than 1 of them). I ordered the Korean Bowl based on a strong recommendation from the waitress and really enjoyed it. The flavor was great and the sauce on the beef was very good. My only caution on it was brought to my attention by my wife - who pointed out that it was extremely salty. Yes, it would be even better with about half of the added salt. Overall, the location relative to our intended evening venue was great and the food was above average...just make sure that you allow plenty of time to get your food and drinks.

    We came here without a reservation and didn't have any trouble getting seated. It's in such a nice…read morearea of the city, and we were seated pretty quickly. Our waiter was nice, although I feel like she disappeared sometimes. But it was okay because we were sitting in the bar area, where there weren't too many people. There was another dining area that was much busier. I got the Caesar salad and the CABco sandwich. WOW! The Caesar salad was THE BEST CAESAR SALAD I'VE EVER TASTED. Seriously, I would come back every day just for that! The CABco sandwich was also good, but I felt like the sliced ribeye itself lacked flavor, and my mom's steak didn't taste like much either. Maybe the beef here just isn't seasoned very heavily. However, the sauce paired really well with the bell peppers, onions, and cheese. I would have liked the cheese to be a little more stretchy, but once I soaked the bread in the juice on the side, WOW--it was delicious! My mom's steak also came out overcooked at first, so she had to wait about another 10 minutes for them to bring out a new one. She did really like the ratatouille side, though, which was made with vegetables. I thought it was a little lacking in flavor, but overall, I'd definitely come back--especially for that Caesar salad!

Everything was clean and service was friendly. They have lots of cool merchandise and several to-go beers. They do serve food but I didn't try any. I only had a beer because I wasn't at my final destination but they have a pretty wide variety with lots of different styles. I went with one of their flagship beers-the Neon Hazy IPA. I really enjoyed it and even got some to go so that I could enjoy back in KC. Next time I'm passing through, I'm definitely going to stop and hopefully plan a little better so that I can try more beer and food.

I had experienced Barn Town at a beer festival and researched them before visiting town, so I know the experimental candy-influenced collabs are kind of their thing. The PB and Grape Jelly sour was nice and the Watermelon Sour Batch Buddies was the best of the State Fair themed bunch. Everything else packed too much of a flavor punch for me... to the point of upsetting my stomach which NEVER happens when I drink beer. I would actually go back and try some of their flagship (normal) beer offerings and food specials to get a more well rounded opinion of the brewpub.
