    Tostada
    Kathy H.

    We visited Saturday afternoon. It was busy. Ordered beers and cheesy bread and a tostada. Tostada was stale, and the food took 20 minutes. Maybe kinks to work out. Staff was friendly. Wishing them well.

    The rough draft bar and taps. Their nitro taps are spectacular.

    Just do yourself a favor and come grab a beer here. These are local first time owners that make you feel like you have always belonged. The beer menu is diverse and cold, the food is terrific and the service is spectacular. Say hi when you pop in...I may very well be here.

    So happy to see this spot open up so close to home. The food and beer are amazing and the service is even better. I've come here many times for lunch or an after work beer and I can't compliment them more. I'm super excited that the three owners have been in the industry so long and know this community so well after working for the last spot. Definitely a home away from home vibe. Can't wait to see them succeed

    The owner has really put his heart into this spot and he is very knowledgeable about his taps unlike some places that pretend to be a tap house.

    Woah! How does this only have a 3.8 rating!?…read more Hubs and I had the most wonderful experience here in July 2026. Beautiful location, friendly staff, great beer and delicious food! This place is HUGE! So much seating everywhere!! My only complaint is that we asked for a great view that the hostess liked and she should have warned us she was seating us in the dog friendly patio area. After we had already ordered, some woman had her dog literally laying on top of the table. So that was disgusting. Their whole table was extremely loud and annoying. Other than that, it was a beautiful area. Now on to the food and beer. We ordered a couple beers, what a great price for most! They were ice cold and delicious! For the first appetizer we ordered the riblets (I wish there had been more), they were very tasty. Next we ordered the grilled artichoke- make sure you order this!! What a flavor explosion! So so good. I only wish our two appetizers were warmer, but we didn't let that stop us from devouring them. Then we shared the Russian River cheesesteak and upgraded to the Pliny fries - you must do this! A delicious white cheese fondue on top of fries with jalapeños and Parmesan on top, then dip your sammich in the cheese fondue. Yum yum yummmm! The cheesesteak was very tasty!! Carlos was our server and was very attentive and friendly. We really enjoyed our time here. You can't eat outside but you can take drinks in metal cups to enjoy the scenery out back. Kid friendly.

    ARTICHOKE ARTICHOKE!!! Yes. The beer is good. But the best artichoke I've ever had in my life…read more Grilled artichoke. It's insane. Trust me Service: Dylan is Amazing! Super helpful for out of towners on beer choice and food. He's at the bar!!! Ambiance: Huge and clean. Just stop in!

    Stopped in for dinner with a friend a couple of weeks ago. We were greeted as soon as we came in…read moreand sat right away. We ordered a coupe of draft beers while looking at the menu. They have a very good tap selection here. I was happy to have several good options for a cold draft. The place looks and feels like a traditional Irish Pub with lots of local folks who are clearly regulars at this well maintained pub. We got the fried green beans appy. They were good, well breaded, and not greasy at all. I ordered the chinese chicken salad and it was very tasty. Maybe a smidge too much dressing, but it is a light dressing so too much was probably just right with this salad. My friend got the shrimp tacos. They presentment on the tacos was very nice. It was a generous portion and the plate was empty by the end of the meal. So I know he liked it a lot.

    I was taking a walk on Saturday morning and got a bit hungry so I decided to check this place out…read more. I've walked by thousands of times and never really peeked inside. I'm so glad I did stop in this. I got some breakfast tacos. They are definitely some of the best I've had around. They are full of lots of eggs and meat choice. I got a little salsa that went with it and let me tell you I was one happy camper. I'm definitely gonna check out their lunch menu because some of the sandwiches looked so good. Staff was really nice and friendly. They had the TV on outside. This is definitely a good spot for big groups.

My partner and I got the Bacon and cheese burgers with cheddar cheese. The patties were cooked nicely, juicy and thick but not dripping with grease. The produce was fresh and crisp. The fries were cooked just right and the accompanying ketchup didn't taste old or stale. Highly recommend for good old fashioned quality burgers!

    We came here last month and absolutely loved it, so we were really looking forward to coming back…read moretoday. Unfortunately, today's experience was completely different and extremely disappointing. Our server clearly didn't know the menu or the prices, which we completely understand can happen when someone is new. However, you should at least be familiar with the menu when working in a restaurant. At one point, I ordered a grilled cheese and the server literally said, "Oh, we have that? Can you show me where we offer that?" I honestly couldn't believe it. There were only two other couples in the restaurant, so it wasn't overly busy, yet it took about 30 minutes for our food to come out. When it finally arrived, our order was incorrect. I ordered onion rings and received fries. I'm not upset about the fries, but I specifically wanted onion rings and would have appreciated being told they were unavailable or having the order corrected. My husband ordered his burger medium rare, and it came out extremely overcooked. There were also some things that were honestly very concerning from a food-service standpoint. We watched our server bring a plate of food to another couple, set it down in front of them, realize it wasn't their food, and then take that same plate and deliver it to a completely different table. Once food has been set down in front of someone and is sitting there while someone is breathing over it, it should absolutely not be delivered to another customer. That was extremely frustrating and unhygienic to watch. Unfortunately, our server also seemed much more focused on talking with the men in the restaurant and wasn't very attentive to us, which made it difficult to get the help or service we needed. It came across as very unprofessional. I will say, once the male server stepped in, he made sure we were well taken care of and did his best to make things right. We really appreciated his effort and attentiveness. We were really disappointed because we genuinely enjoyed this place last month. Unfortunately, after today's experience, we won't be returning. Hopefully management takes this feedback seriously because the potential is clearly there, but the service and food today were nowhere near the experience we had previously.
