The worst service. It's sad just because we look like bikers, we sat on the patio and couldn't get waited on , even after we called and ask them to send someone out. We asked to talk to there manager and couldn't even get that. Nice, especially since they weren't even busy, maybe 20 people. we won't be returning here and I will make sure I tell all my friends And biker community about my experience

Horrible service. Tables open everywhere were told there was a 30 minute wait. That wait also included the bar area. What a joke

Was tentative after reading some other reviews, but was very happily surprised! Great beer, and everyone at the table enjoyed their meal.

The beer is mediocre, the food is much less than that. Some of the staff is pretty great at what they do, but you can tell they just hate the place and the people who run it. From speaking with many of the employees, they have no respect for management and the owners. Word is they are looking to sell and get out while they still can. It's a sinking ship, that's for certain. I would have gave 0 stars, but this is not an option. Save yourself a trip and visit a real brewery.
