Of their ciders we had, my favorite was the hibiscus cider and the peach cider, but they also have a good selection beers if ciders aren't your thing. For food we got their Ruben and their Flat-iron Steak. The Ruben was awesome, the sauce was a bit on the sweeter side, but it tasted good while drinking the ciders. But the highlight for me was their flat-iron steak, its a simple cut but it was one of the best steaks I've had in recent memory. I'm not kidding when I say it was on par if not better than a a lot of the steakhouses I've been to, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and comes with a solid chimichurri sauce. TLDR: great local tavern with great food and good selection of drinks.

It's also nice having places in mountain towns where you can stop for a meal and a drink without feeling like you need to rush off to your next destination. Staff are friendly, cider flavors are great and they have some seasonal ones that are available in the Summer time and then some later in the year.

Will continue to return and would recommend to anyone in the area

Over our various visits, we have also tried and thoroughly enjoyed the crispy fish and chips with very good coleslaw, the tasty chili, the perfectly prepared watermelon salad, and the spicy buffalo wings.

On each visit, we sat in the covered outdoor area, and the service has consistently been friendly and mostly quick, but never disappointing.

I especially loved that some of their meals had a full and half portion. Great idea for less food waste! They have a wide list of benedicts, breakfast foods, as well as lunch options for anyone's delight. I had the full cajun benedict and I was pleasantly surprised. It had great flavor and there was plenty of food. Really delicious. I also indulged in a bloody maria. It was very good, just a little too strong for me. Well worth the $11 if you like a strong mixed drink. The only real downside is they didnt have air conditioning going so the inside was just as hot as the outside. All in all, this spot is pretty great! Definitely recommend for brunch and a cocktail!

I can't recall their names but they were both very welcoming and friendly to the guests they attended. Our server was extremely helpful in helping us select our order as it was difficult to make a decision. She had a wonderful smile and funny banter and was genuinely happy to serve us. I thought she was the owner of the restaurant, but as we were remarking about the beauty and history of the building she remarked that she had only been working there for a few weeks! She was truly a breath of fresh air where customer service and friendliness is truly hit or miss. Some folks were very happy to see us, others could have preferred we stayed home. The BBQ was also amazing, we shared a platter with brisket and pulled pork, coleslaw and Mac and cheese. Everything was really delicious, the coleslaw wasn't overwhelmed by too much mayo. It was crisp and deliciously crunchy and the mac and cheese was homemade using mezze penne, gooey and flavorful. It was a delicious meal and a wonderful experience.

The employee taking orders was patient while I looked over the menu and gave a couple suggestions without overdoing it. The pulled pork was tender and had enough flavor on its own without needing extra sauce. I wasn't expecting much from the salad, but the chicken was fresh and the portion was bigger than I thought it would be. My order came out in a reasonable amount of time even though there were several people waiting ahead of me. Overall it felt like a dependable local BBQ spot that focuses more on solid food than hype.
