    First time coming here after visiting Lavender Pond Farm. Dog friendly outside with seating area…read more We ordered the McBarrel nachos which came with ground beef, tomato's, pickles, melted cheese and their special sauce (tasted like thousand island/big Mac sauce) We also ordered a cider but it wasn't as bubbly, tasted flat, but they were happy to swap if for a canned Down East cider I also got a plain spicy margarita. Very basic. Asked for flavoring and they have more sweeter stuff: strawberry, pomegranate Food and drinks were all out quick We were specifically looking for dog friendly places online and found an ad for "Yappy hour"; dog friendly food and drinks. Although this was an ad from last year unknowingly, we were still able to get a puppy bowl for our dog (hamburger, hotdog carrots and treats). Who I'm assuming was the owner, came out, greeted us, made some small talk and was on his way. Staff were friendly and food was good.

    Stopped in after a hike in the Killingworth area. The restaurant is relatively small with bar…read moreseating and a few tables. In the warmer months, there are several picnic tables to enjoy your meal outside (this area is dog friendly too!). My friend and I sat at the bar and were lucky enough to be greeted with some live music. The bartender was friendly and attentive. The menu isn't large, but it has a good variety of food and drink options. I opted for the Cowboy Griddle Wrap with chicken and a pumpkin cider. The wrap was flavorful with cowboy caviar, avocado, and cilantro lime aioli with chicken and melted cheddar cheese. If you are in the area, it's a great spot for a quick drink and bite to eat.

    This spot is too far away for my wife and I to regularly visit; but pre-train its a must. My beer,…read moregreat. My wife, and the reason I am posting this, says the Seltzer is even better then our regular spot. If you knew my wife, you would probably fall out of your chair reading this. To not just be good, but better?

    We've been coming here for a while now, and for the most part it's been pretty good. However, I do…read morehave a few issues that are more operational than anything. First off, when you find the menu online, there is many items that are not currently on the menu. I know they had some staffing issues recently and I'm sure that's why they are running a limited menu, but that should definitely be updated online so guests know that before they come. I also was really looking forward to trying some of their beer, only to find that the only surfridge product available was a seltzer. This was a huge disappointment. To go to a brewery and not be able to drink their beer is pretty ridiculous. Maybe a social media post on instagram to let people know you're not serving your own beer right now? Would have been pretty helpful. When I asked the bartender if that's all the beers available he said " we're going with a microbrewery approach right now". Not really a microbrewery approach if there's one house made beverage and it's not even a beer. That's just a restaurant at that point. The pizzas were good as always, just really long wait in between. We were sitting with two other friends who ordered separately but still at the same time as us, and in between all the pizzas there were super long wait times. One pizza, than 25 minutes later one for the other check, than a half hour later, the other one for them, and then a good amount of time later the last one for us. We didn't even really want it at that point. The whole flow of the way the food came out was just really weird. I'm a chef of almost 15 years in the industry, I'm in no way giving up on this place, as I really like it here. I just think there's some very questionable decisions on the way it's currently being ran. Thanks.

We had been on our way from the Turtle Cafe to pick up prosecco for Sunday mimosas when we came upon a broken, burned building. Completely destroyed. I felt so awful for them. You cannot imagine how excited and happy I was to see a sign for the new shop just up the street months later. I had to stop to make sure it was real. Sure enough there was Cindy at the counter! All of the customers, myself included, smiled back at her when we checked out and told her we were so happy to see them back up and running! All that aside, Cindy has a great selection of wines and beers. She is always willing to put in request orders as well. Wandering through her coolers, I have come across many gems including Pipeworks' Ninja vs Unicorn. Her shop is the only place I have been able to find it so far! The last time I was there, a woman from Gooseneck Vineyards was also there doing tastings. An added bonus with more space! If you are in the area, this is a great bet for meeting your beverage needs.
