“From the moment I walked in, Summer at the front desk made me feel welcome and did a great job explaining the menu and highlighting the food. I originally planned to order the cod sandwich but decided to switch it up and try the buffalo cauliflower instead—great choice, it was really good. The atmosphere is laid-back and inviting, making it an easy place to relax and enjoy a meal. I don’t drink alcohol, so I can’t speak on the beer selection, but based on the service, food, and overall vibe, this is definitely a place I’d recommend and return to.”
“Great atmosphere (the space is huge and inviting), great food (brisket!), great beer selection (massive!), great beer (we tried 4). The service left a lot to be desired. With such a giant beer selection and hefty menu, a few questions were necessary but after asking one question, our server made us feel like we had already asked too much of her— sort of a good mood killer. Apart from that, everything was excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to come here again and explore another beer and another menu item, as long as I had a different server.”
“First off this place is massive. It's has to seat at least 200 people. But even though this place could seat an army the food is really good. The sandwhiches are incredible and large. Like really large. When they call them headwhiches they are not kidding. The pulled pork was great with a very nice vinager bbq sauce. Pork was more in chunks which I appreciate but some people do prefer the more finely shredded. So just be aware of that if your order it. The club sandwhich was also very good and the biggest we tried. The ham does over power the turkey on it though it tastes more of a ham and cheese sandwich. But still very tasty. The standout was the fish it was genuinely incredible very crispy. With a really nice slaw and tarter sauce. If I did anything I would add cheese to it but it really does not need it. The pretzel here is great light and fluffy with 3 great dipping sauces. The beers here are great qithba large variety made in house. The root beer here is very sassafras heavy which i really enjoyed. It was great as a float. But this place has a walking tour of there brewery which is really interesting youbhave to do n it atheist once. It also includes a gift shop. So if you want fat heads merchandise in your life they have got you covered. From bobble heads to wall art. It's absolutely worth a stop by here when you're in the area.”
