Ambience - pit BBQ vibes with concrete floors and spacious industrial warehouse feel. Servers and hostess were super friendly. Food - Cornbread - we received some complimentary cornbread, which were cut into small squares. Served cold. 3/5 Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese - the promise of smoked Gouda had my hopes up, but the flavor was lacking 3/5 St Louis Ribs - I asked for ribs with Memphis style dry rub. The flavor was fantastic, but could have been a little more tender. Still, a really good rib. 4/5 Brisket - I was offered Lean, Regular or Fatty. I asked for fatty and received two slices which were half fat. Makes me wonder what I would have gotten if I ordered "Fatty". Regardless,the brisket was a little underseasoned. Fried Clam Strips - the order came out overcooked and burned. The server was nice enough to get a new one for me. 4/5

In town from Maryland and found this place with rave wing reviews. We had to check it out and so…read moreglad we did! It looks like a hole in the wall bar, and maybe it is, but as soon as we stepped in we were immediately greater warmly by the bartender and told to have a seat. Sorry I didn't get his name, but he was incredible, obviously pinging us as out of towners, but treating us kindly, even offering table service as they weren't busy. We ordered drinks which he brought immediately and let us look over the menu. He came back and took our order , all the while conversing with us and other patrons , clearly regulars. Kitchen staff brought out our food and it was hot and delicious! My wings were cooked perfectly, had a mix of flats and drums and were sauced very well (mild). My son got a quesadilla and it was dripping with melted cheese and he said it was one of the best he's ever had. My husband got pierogis and cheese curds and raved about the flavor. The bill came and since it was happy hour, we were very pleasantly surprised with how affordable dinner was for the three of us. We had a wonderful meal and experience and would definitely be back if we are ever in the area again.

Great atmosphere, great bar, amazing food, and even better service. If you're in the Binghamton area, put CopperTop Tavern on your list. Five stars all the way!

This past time, I got Lacy's chicken. It was SO good! And big enough that I was able to have it for lunch the next day as leftovers. I also ordered Dangerous Waters Island Punch. I got it as a double. It was very tasty. Always pleasant waitstaff. It's not the cheapest night out. But always a fun one! They also have special events. Trivia nights, line dancing, etc. I haven't been to one yet, but it's on my to do list.

I organized a team dinner for 36 people after a softball day, and Beer Tree Brew made the…read morereservation process incredibly easy. I had to change the headcount twice, confirmed the reservation multiple times because of the size of the group, and they even moved us into the beer hall to accommodate everyone. Communication leading up to the event was excellent. Unfortunately, about 30 minutes before our reservation, I received a call that the kitchen had been shut down due to an emergency plumbing issue. I completely understand that emergencies happen and don't fault the restaurant for something outside of their control. We were offered the option to delay our reservation by 30-45 minutes while they waited for an update, but there was no guarantee the kitchen would reopen. After discussing it with the group, we had to scramble to find another location. I appreciate that someone called rather than having us show up and receive the news, but with a party of this size, I wish there had been more proactive communication, the GM thought she had called me but totally understood when dealing with an emergency. The reservation process itself was outstanding and talking with Jessica about options at their other location was great. Hopefully we can try the Factory if we are ever back in town.

We love Beer Tree. We have been going there pretty much since they opened. While the beer has…read moreremained exceptional the food has taken a serious hit in quality. Went to Factory last night and ordered the fiesta bowl and was highly disappointed. Over cooked rice, barely any corn or beans and the chicken was lacking in flavor. Overall the taste was pretty bland had to get extra sauce to put on it just so I could eat it. Someone else got the chicken caprese and there was one basil leaf on the entire sandwich! Chicken was dry and had no flavor. Chips were way too salty and inedible. Really disappointed, the quality continues to go down while the prices go up. At some point the "our operating costs are going up" spin will only get you so far while the overall taste and quality of the food continues to decline.

My boyfriend has been telling me about this place for a while now and about how they have the best…read morechicken wings he's ever had. And here's the thing... I'm not a huge fan of chicken wings, but guys... Guys... GUUUUUUYS. The chicken wings here are legit DELICIOUS. The vibe of the restaurant is just chill and relaxed. It's clean, the service is great (the server took care of drink refills without us asking, checked back with us regularly & in a timely manner, and brought the items from our order out as they were ready), and the price point is great for what you get as well. We ordered 4 different kinds of wings - Cajun, Black Cherry Pepper BBQ, Carolina Gold (the star of the show), and Hot Honey Garlic. I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to heat, so I didn't try the Cajun... but I loved the bit of fruit flavor from the black cherry wings, and really enjoyed the bit of spice from the hot honey. Those Carolina Gold wings though... I would come back again and again for those alone. Consider me a chicken wing convert, I guess! ALSO... I almost forgot that we have the buffalo chicken eggrolls as an appetizer. Perfectly crunchy outer eggroll with delicious buffalo chicken inside. I'm not a bleu cheese gal (blasphemy with buffalo chicken, but I don't care), and the server brought a little side of ranch out for us to dip our eggrolls in. *chef's kiss* TL;DR GO. FOR. THE WINGS. Seriously... you're missing out if you don't. Get a bunch of flavors, share with friends (or eat them yourself - I won't judge), and wallow in the sauce-y goodness.

Cannot wait to go back! We needed snacks and a drink and we needed a good drive on a Sunday! So…read moreglad we stopped here, will absolutely be a new place to get our favorites! The vibe of this place is exactly what's needed in America. I wish there were more places like the Union Hotel. It looks so fun and funky, everything is clean and I'm being serious, it's clean! Fried cheese curds and fried pickles...if that's all we ordered we were already hooked! Then our wings came!!! Pry the sauces out of my hands, I had it on my face, up my arms, the wings were exactly what you beg for anywhere else!! The sweetest and most beautiful bartender was an absolute angel getting our drinks and food! Extremely conscientious and attentive during busy moments! We cannot wait to go back...it was a fantastic reminder of what we used to have local to us! 10/10 all the way around!

I've only been to a Five Guys location once before, it was across town on the Vestal parkway. It…read morewas good, a little pricey but good. I stopped at this location a couple days ago because well we were headed to the grocery store and you don't want to go to a Wegmans if you're hungry. You'll spend a whole lot more money. So because we were already nearby anyways we stopped in. Wasn't really sure what to get so went with just the basic cheeseburger and a normal size french fry. I had read reviews before about five guys and I forgotten until was there but when you order a normal size french fry or any size french fry for that matter, they place the container of fries into your bag very very carefully as not to spill any, and then they take a big ol' scoop of french fries in addition to that and dump them into the bag on top of everything. So you get plenty of fries. The burgers were incredible, very juicy, had some decent flavor, and we ordered them "all the way" which comes with lettuce pickle tomato onion etc.. The fries were tasty enough that we didn't add any ketchup or mayonnaise or anything. The staff behind the counter were super friendly, and they actually seemed happy to have jobs at a burger place. I say it like that because we've all been to a McDonald's for example and seen just the grumpy people that work there walking around like they could give a crap about anything. The crew at this five guys seemed like they were having a good time even though they were working. The place was also pretty clean, lots of tables to choose from. If I need to go to another Five Guys, I'll choose this location every time

At no time within that hour did anyone come over and acknowledge the fact that it was taking over an hour to get our food.

When the manager did come over, I was the one who had to suggest that maybe she do something for our table. She ultimately comped our drinks. Really not worth the hype. I don't understand why everyone says this place is so great.
