I thought it was really cool that they had drinks available for purchase. Who doesn't love a slushy, with alcohol, on a warm summer day. We also had fun competing against one another in the giant Connect Four game. The pick up truck tables were cool too. This will definitely be a place I frequent this summer.

We sat at tables that were pulled together for us...but there was plenty of bar seating as well. Our initial contact with the staff was upbeat and jovial...it was very surprising. They were helpful and definitely put us in a relaxed mood. I had a lot of questions regarding the menu, but was helped in a kind and patient manner. I ordered the sheet tray nachos, a vegetarian version of the sheet tray nachos, the fries, and the pierogi blt tacos. The food came out in a timely manner, and everything was tasty. My favorite were the pierogi blt tacos. How genius is it to cut open a potato pierogi and stuff it... So. Brilliant. The outside was crispy and the inside was warm and soft. The crispy bacon was the key ingredient, but the lettuce and tomato really completed the 'familiar flavors' and added texture I will definitely be back to try more food!

Went there for lunch. I asked the server what they did really well and what was her favorite and…read moreshe had mentioned the BLT pierogies as well as the Korean bologna sandwich. I added a pizza because it looked good and she said the pepperoni sausage was their biggest seller. My most favorite thing was the pizza. Bologna sandwich, although it was a weird concoction, for some reason really worked. The BLT pierogies were just kind of OK for me. My colleague got the Smashburger that was called the bend burger and he said it was really good. All in all though because of the service and the food I would be back here without a problem.

The patio has become one of my favorite places to eat and hang with friends. Chef John and his team is amazing. What he comes up with is supurb. So much better than what was there before. Their burgers are huge. The portions are generous. And the taste has me coming back for more. Highly recommended. I see nothing but good things for this place. Oh, and to that other commenter (Angie M). The Willoughby Burger is a blended burger. Meaning the beef patty has the mushroom cooked into it. They hand pack the burgers, it's not processed. It's an amazing blend of Portobello and button mushrooms. It's in the James Beard blended burger contest. And what is so wrong about having male bartenders?

For my 900th Yelp review, the honour goes to Two Friends Brewing!…read more I first visited for a private Yelp event on Thursday, November 13th 2025 then I came again for my friend's (Leslie) husband's 40th birthday party on Saturday, January 10th 2026. The private birthday party was in their back room. This bar appears to be a favourite amongst locals. Service has always been attentive and friendly the both times that I've been here. FOOD/DRINKS -- I don't drink alcohol but they have a lot of options to offer such as beer (obviously) and I think wine too. The food appears to be standard/average from what I've seen. For my friend's husband birthday party in January 2026, we had pizza which I believe was from another business so it's nice that this establishment allows you to order your own food for a private party. I ordered a sparkling water during my first visit which came in a can. I actually don't like sparking water that much but I had limited options for drinks since I don't drink alcohol and I didn't want a sugary drink. GAMES -- The back room has games to play which is fun. They have pool, football (called "foosball" I think), etc. For both times that I visited, I tried a game called Skee ball game where you throw a ball and try to land it on different levels and each level has points that you can earn. If you like beer and a good atmosphere, then give Two Friends Brewing a visit. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 59/250 total reviews in 2026 - 900 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 April 2026

A number of friends have recommended LIno's as being a good bar that is customer friendly and has good food. I just left there and am still disturbed by my experience there. It was a Saturday night around dinner time and I was looking forward to just a burger and a beer. The place was only about a quarter filled with plenty of seats at the bar. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired. I sat down at the bar and the bartender without the slightest bit of friendliness or smile just asked what do I want? I ordered a beer and a menu. There was a high top table behind me that had 4 or 5 couples that were loud. Sorry, let me say they were screaming, yelling and carrying on louder than I ever heard a group in a bar. The women were the loudest just screaming louder and louder. Suffice it to say I did not order and could not even finish half of my beer. I asked for the check and the bartender gave a knowing look as if to say "they are kind of loud". Why the heck can't a manager ask a group to quiet down and show some courtesy to other customers? Maybe the food is good there but why patronize a business if disgusting behavior if allowed to affect others? Lino's? NEVER AGAIN.
