    Beers were all standard and tasty. They holdup to some of the best known breweries, no doubt…read more Fried chicken sandwich was excellent. Tangy, perfectly crisp and also juicy. Perfect bun. Wish this was near my home. Tuna logger bowl was a welcome item in a rural location. Good quality considering this is a brewery! Side of Mac and cheese was okay. They try to help it by adding bacon and green onions but it still tastes very similar to velveeta. Fries are super great! There are games to play like cornhole, Ping pong, table soccer. A fire pit. And there was a Friday night band for free, outdoors, so your ears don't blow off. Great. Actually quite good reggae and some energetic rock-ish songs too! Definitely understaffed, but all the staff are really moving and making an effort to provide the best service with a smile and accommodate. Go early before things pick up (before 5:30 or so), stay for the drinks, and maybe music.

    I have been following the Gyppo on line. In the area with…read morefriends for the of the Redwoods Hospice garden tour. Perfect time to try the restaurant. When we entered we were told to grab a menu and seat ourselves. Well, we sat and we sat. I finally went inside and asked for service. I was told that we had to use the QR code. I hadn't noticed it on the other end of the table. One friend's phone wasn't set up for that, another's phone was in the car and the other said that she is 80. I figured I could do it for the group. However, ordering drinks was time consuming and we wanted to get our order in. When we got our food, there were 2 orders for shrimp tacos. I thought I ordered the rockfish tacos as they were the only tacos listed on the menu. Luckily they weren't allergic to shellfish because the deliverer was not taking them back or taking our drink order. My clam chowder was not hot and very salty. I didn't realize that my friend at our table brought us water. I didn't know that she filled them herself or I would have gone in to refill as I had nothing to drink with my soup How do you tip when there is no service? What about the 5 reviews? Did they get any service? To sum up we got our own menus and water, we found our own seats and waited for ages before I went in to ask to order. Then I was told I had to order for the group with the QR code. Never having done it before I mistakenly ordered the wrong item. My fault. We never had any service interaction. Who do you even tip. (Note : we did leave a tip). Going to a fun restaurant involves interacting with the staff. In fact I didn't order what I wanted because I had a question.

    Delicious burgers. I didn't realize it was outdoor seating…read moreonly. Somewhat steep prices $$$. for the food size and having to sit on wet cold benches. Bathrooms needed desperate help (dirty & had to wash hands outside in the cold) Otherwise this place had good vibes and friendly staff. Would love to come back in warmer weather if in the area

    Great stop for travelers with pets!…read more We stopped at The Peg House on our way to the Avenue of the Giants, and we're so glad we did! This hidden gem sits just off Highway 101, so it's easy to find. All of the seating is outdoors, with plenty of shaded spots -- perfect for relaxing without baking in the sun. There's even a stage area for live music. We stopped by on a Monday evening, so no music that day, but the atmosphere was still wonderful and laid-back. When we went to order, we were greeted by incredibly friendly staff who immediately offered our dogs some treats (always an A+ in my book!). Their burger and sandwich menu had so many tempting options that it was hard to choose. I ended up with a burger topped with jalapeños, while my partner went for one with bacon. The burgers were amazing -- the meat was tender and juicy, practically melting in your mouth. The toppings complemented everything perfectly, and the bun tasted fresh and fluffy. I also really appreciated the coleslaw -- not overloaded with mayo like most. My partner loved his meal too. We've decided this will be a new tradition every time we're in the area! Pro tip: Don't skip the gift store right next to the eatery. Pick up a Train Wreck cookie, Rice Krispy treat, and a brownie -- they're all incredible. We loved them so much that we stopped again on our way home to stock up. You won't be disappointed!
