Since being recently diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, it was so refreshing to see so many choices available. I tried the seasoned fries and the burnt ends both were delicious. The burnt ends had a great smoky flavor, though a little on the fatty side, but still very enjoyable. I also heard great things from my table about the Brisket Whiskey Burger topped with smoked Gouda cheese, paired with those same seasoned fries. The drinks were well-balanced, not too strong, but flavorful and enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual, with a sports-bar vibe that makes it perfect for groups, hanging out with friends, or even a laid-back date night. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and took my gluten allergy seriously, which I really appreciated. She made sure I understood the gluten-free options and guided me toward safe choices. Overall, this place is a solid spot with tasty food, great service, and plenty of gluten-free options. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Little difficulty with folks who aren't as tech savvy as there are not servers or menus but if you don't want a typical restaurant experience where you have to wait for everyone to arrive (you know you have those friends that are always late for everything!) to order this is your jam. Food has always been good and their drink selection is as diverse as you're going to find in the craft beer scene today. Yes, 1/3-1/2 of their taps are IPA's but that's what you people have done to this world.

It's been about a year since I've been here and the concept of this place still just blows my mind…read more It runs very well, and pretty much no staff. The business model is genius. A hostess who takes your money and gives you a bracelet, automated beer, and you use your phone to order from the kitchen, they text you and you go get your food. I wondered many times how they could serve alcohol and not monitor how much people were drinking? So I asked. The host is in the front said at the end of 32 oz is your bracelet will not work and you need to come up and see me to reset it. I guess that's how they would monitor whether or not someone could get another 32 oz? I'm surprised not more places have copied their business layout. With the new generation, this would be the place to go, you barely have to speak to anyone except for the people you're with.

Upon entering, the staffer explained the set-up to enjoy a variety of beers, poured and priced by the volume. Located at the back of the restaurant, customers can select beer flavors and serve themselves, no bartender needed. A tab is started and charged based on usage, tracked through the wristband provided to you. I ordered over mobile via a QR code, selecting pretzel sticks with beer cheese dip and a large, Detroit-style pizza. The soft pretzels were tender with a lovely crusty exterior. I inhaled the first pretzel since it was past lunchtime, savoring the salty, cheesy bites. I must admit, the pretzels' saltiness temporarily affected my taste buds because the pizza had little flavor, even with the pepperoni, sausage, and olives. I definitely did not taste the hot honey drizzle. I want to praise the light, airy crust. For a deep dish pizza, it did not sit heavy in my tummy. I also appreciated that the pizza was served on a rack, to allow air circulation and to prevent sogginess. The space was dark and had both large communal tables and smaller, intimate tables. This allowed for larger groups to enjoy community beyond a friend group. The other plus is the board games that are available to pass the time while enjoying various beers.

This is an order at the counter spot, so you grab a menu, place your order up front, and they give you a buzzer when your food is ready. I ordered a drink and the chicken Caesar wrap, which came out to $21. The chicken was grilled really nicely and had a lot of flavor. The wrap also comes with a jalapeño Caesar dressing, which initially threw me off since I am not a spicy person, but it ended up being delicious and not spicy at all. I stayed until about 5:30 and more families started coming in and there were quite a few kids around. There is a small playpen area for kids that is not padded, and watching a two year old climb around with no adult looked like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Overall, I had a good experience. The food was solid, the vibe was nice, and I would definitely come back again.
