Cool place. Service was great. Food and drink were pretty good. Definitely a pub atmosphere so if that's what you're looking for, then this is a good place to go.

This is a little gem in the DTC. It is nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. The service was great, the food was fresh and delicious. We were able to sit and enjoy our conversation without competing over loud music. We will be back! The cheese pillows, egg rolls, burgers and salad were all great. No leftovers at our table.

I loved this place! The vibe was cool "happy hour," while their food was absolutely on point as well. The servers were all kind, even dressed up since we went on Halloween which was fun. Parking was easy too. The fried jalapeños & pickles were unique & delicious, my favorite of everything. The jam burger was very explorative as well. Although the bacon was somewhat tough, the flavor was amazing. The sweet potatoes were a hit too. The burger was big enough for 2 to split with an apple which was a nice surprise! Will be back to try more

Good food, and great drinks. service is decent, happy hour is great. Bonus is that we were given the wrong menus and overcharged by a couple Dollars, when brought into our waitresses attention the manager came over and gave us a couple drinks over a $2 dispute. Bonus- the old fashioneds are awesome. Cajun chicken sandwich aka delicious and totally are super crunchy! Great spot.

Always great service as usual!!! The beer is always cold and the wine selection isn't huge but definitely great options. The cheese curds are some of my favorite appetizers. I am happy I tried the dry ribs but they were more like small pork rinds which were flavorful with the dip but not worth the price and definitely not enough meet. The breakfast sandwich was good too but also light on the protein.

Repeat Five Star visit thanks to the exceptional service from the bar team (Stacie, Owen, Shelby) as well as the food quality. "Owner-man" Will is often circulating and running food. Nice guy! Owen makes a worthy Rye Manhattan on a rock, for dessert! My latest go-to is the wedge salad, add crispy chicken. I observed a neighbor having a Caesar, so I may give that a try on next visit. The place is usually jammin' busy during HH with Tech Center employees. It also has an industry crowd later in the eve.
