    Ranch Route 168
    Mary H.

    Friendly right as we came in. It was no busy for a casual Valentine's Day dinner. Mocktail & cocktail were both delicious. We ordered a ranch burger and a bacon burger smashed style. Both medium well. Burger came out medium rare & bacon burger had no bacon. GM & server were both very apologetic and food was swiftly remade. They were then decent burgers although nothing super special. I was enjoying my fries a lot until the GM came back & told me that they weren't the good fries but backup fries and not to judge them by them. ‍ They said they were trying to go for a younger crowd because the original restaurants demographic was too old but the demographic he listed included us so that was a bit of a turn off. As was the cursing from the GM during conversation. We laughed it off but it wasn't quite the vibe we go for. But perhaps that is because we are too old. All in all, it was an average experience but we will try it again to see if they get their feet under themselves a little more solidly.

    Lydia was great. My burger was awesome also. The owner was cool and we signed as first timers!

    Chicken sandwich, I know you can't see the bottom bun but it is there.

    Found this Cool small place by the house. Ordered the chicken sandwich with the Mexican street corn salad as the side. Tara the bartender/ server was on point with everything. Check the pic to see the size of the chicken that was on the sandwich. Yes it was tender and tasty

    I'm impressed with this restaurant. Our party of three came in on a Saturday early evening for dinner. We had no wait and our server came immediately. The restaurant had a pretty cool vibe with street signs all over, and they had dollar bills pinned to the ceiling. The restaurant was pretty clean. I ordered a cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. The cheeseburger was delicious. My sweet potato fries could have been cooked longer, they were a bit soggy. But they were seasoned well. The rest of my party ordered a cheeseburger as well, only with french fries. We also ordered a crab dip appetizer and to be honest, this was the favorite of the table. The deep-fried pita points were amazing. The crab dip is even better! Overall, I enjoyed my dinner very much. I can't wait to come back and try their specials!

    Hubby and I really enjoyed our time here for an early lunch this past weekend. We stopped in around 11:15 and the place was quiet - only a few other diners at the bar. We picked a spot, as directed, and perused the two-sided menu and the happy hour specials listed by the bar. Our server, Bonnie (and one of the owners if I googled correctly), was incredibly pleasant and helpful with the menu. She offered a few suggestions, and made our toddler smile - always a plus. We decided on a couple of beers, the Chicken Caesar Wrap that was on special and the Burger. All of the sandwiches and wraps come with choice of a side. They have several listed and noted one on special - an apple broccoli slaw. I ordered the slaw with my wrap and hubby had the fries with his medium-well burger. While we waited, a couple of other diners arrived and were greeted by name - they know their regulars! There's an easy view of the kitchen and I could see Bonnie prepping some food while we waited sans gloves.. eek! Our food arrived quickly and was salivating to look at. Hubby's burger was cooked well, but had a lot of char on the outside so I'm guessing they're cooked on an open flame. Not his preference, but I love a good char. He did like the flavor of his burger. And those fries!? The best... hand-cut! So delicious! I loved my wrap. It had a ton of chicken, just the right amount of dressing and cheese. Tons of flavor. The slaw special was also really tasty! I'm looking forward to stopping back in and trying something else on the menu. The service was awesome. Hopefully next time we will see the food being prepped in a more sanitary fashion.

    Chicken sandwich could have had more slaw and fries were tepid. The staff made sure we were well taken care of, and the ambiance was good.

    All my years living in Chesapeake and I had never heard of Studly Brewing but I'm so glad that I…read morefinally did. I got a chance to visit the baseball themed, Studly last week and enjoyed everything there. Although Im a novice when it comes to beers, I do know that local brewery that brews all of their beers on site is quite impressive. Upon sitting at the bar and openly admitting that I no clue what wanted or would like, the owner took his time to ask me questions and give me a lesson on beers and flavors and made some great suggestions. I ended up trying the Nana Ball Hefeweizen. A German style been. Not being a beer drinker, I enjoyed it. The food , ohhh the food. I may not know beer, I do know a good slice when I have one. Didn't try a pizza that I didn't love. My favorite was the 4 corner pan pizzas (that will be added to the menu soon) and the Fig and prosciutto. Must try!! Fresh ingredients, great flavors.

    We've been planning to meet our friends for dinner at Studly Brewing for a few weeks now,…read moreespecially since we live in Chesapeake. We finally made it happen this evening! On Wednesdays they have Pub Quiz at 6:30 PM & 7:30 PM and it's free to play the trivia game. Although it was quite loud during the Pub Quiz game, we still enjoyed our dinner catching up with our good friends. It was my first visit to Studly and I've heard good reviews. Studly Brewing is a spacious, family friendly restaurant and brewery that offers a wonderfully casual, bright, and fun vibe with its exciting baseball themed decor that easily brings a smile to everyone's face. The servers were friendly and welcoming. We decided to try the Full Count Nachos from the Spring Menu, and the Figley Field wood-fired pizza looked appetizing. Our food order came out pretty quickly. OH MY! The freshness of the Figley Field pizza and the tasty combination of its ingredients (fig spread topped with bacon crumbles, prosciutto, red onion, goat cheese crumble, and mozzarella on house-made dough where the pizza is finished with fresh arugula on top) made it my new favorite! And I also enjoyed the Hazy IPA that our server Taylor said was her favorite. Looking forward to stopping into Studly Brewing again very soon! I know I'm sure to find a few more new favorites on their menu.

    Extremely disappointed, First time and last time trying this restaurant…read more We arrived at 1:17 PM and placed a to-go order. We were not given an estimated wait time. It is now 2:45PM over an hour later and we are still waiting with no updates from staff. I completely understand that lunch rushes happen, but communication is basic customer service. If the kitchen is running this far behind, customers deserve to be told upfront so they can make an informed decision. I was waiting in the car with my toddler, who fell asleep around 1:30 PM while we were still waiting. Sitting in a parking lot for over an hour with no communication is unacceptable. If you value your time, I would not recommend ordering to-go from here. Respect for customers' time clearly isn't a priority. Updated Finally received our food at 3:45 to only be left more disappointed by the portion sizes. Only received one piece of fish for a dinner, yams are not homemade and Mac and cheese was dry. They offered a free drink at 2:40 pm which doesn't nearly compensate for time. They continued to take orders by phone and in person and couldn't handle demand. At a point when your kitchen is over 2 hours behind, you need to push out the orders you already have and turn people away. I would much rather have been turned away and to try them on a different day with a coupon.
