I forgot to mention this was less than an hour before closing time and they was so nice. I asked if it was too late to order and they acted surprised. So customer service 10

Fresh Take gives tons of flavor, healthy portions (meaning plenty, not calorie-counting), and is a great local business. This would be excellent if you are in from out of town visiting the commons or if you have a business lunch and want to break free of McAllisters. The entry itself is down an alley, not facing the street, so look for the sidewalk signs to find where to turn. Somewhat limited hours but worth the effort to make a point to go.

We ordered the loaf of bread, that was amazing, the fried pickles as an appetizer, we received last because of a "miscommunication", they were alright. We got the country fried chicken, the chicken was good, gravy and mashed potatoes were flavorless. They tasted like they were potato flakes made with only water. No kind of seasoning, butter, salt...nothing. We also got the cheesy chicken mac. The only decent thing in that was the marinated chicken, all 4 tiny pieces. The Mac left a weird after taste. There were also pieces of the walls crumbling and the floor was bubbling up. And the ceiling dripping water on to the table in front of us. Our server was very polite and didn't charge us for the pickles due to the mix up.

I recommend the company upgrade to something equivalent to Boar's Head. I'd pay the extra money for it! I come to this location often, enough that the employees remember me. And I have to say that they are the BEST! I give them FIVE STARS!!!

She took the time to let us know about the history, the quality of the local-sourced food, her personal recommendations for beer and food. She was exactly what we love about trying a new brewery and sitting at the bar. She let us try a few samples and we found some pretty good brews. These are lighter than our personal preference in craft brews, but they were delicious. The food was amazing. My husband had the burger and I had the Caesar salad. Very good!!!! The overall vibe of the brewery combines elements of history with the pride of keeping things fresh and modern. It's a really nice balance. The brewery is situated right on the river and once the boardwalk and construction is done, it's going to be beautiful!!!! It's still beautiful and the construction didn't affect us at all, but it's an exciting project that Sally told us about. Highly recommend stopping here for some food and drinks. We loved it and heard the brunch is the best around.

Upland Columbus is filled with upscale historical character, offers great craft beer, tasty food…read moreand superb service. The building sits on the banks of Driftwood River (now called East Fork White River) and offers spectacular views of the famous Robert N. Stewart Bridge in Columbus, Indiana. Upland Brewing Company is a local brewery that started in Bloomington, Indiana in 1998. Now, they have a number of popular restaurants/pubs across Indiana. The building, built in 1871, served as the Pump House supplying water to the city of Columbus, Indiana. The Pump House faced financial, water and quality challenges over the years, but was instrumental in industrial growth of the city. The Pump House operated until 1950, when the city moved to well water. The Pump House served a number of businesses and organizations since 1950. Upland opened the pub in 2016. We were greeted and promptly seated in the bar when we entered. Our server/bartender, Jess, was attentive and friendly. Several other servers also engaged with us, as well. One brought me a fascinating pamphlet describing the history of the building because I was curious. We arrived in time to sample their 3:00 - 5:00 pm Happy Hour. (I love a good Happy Hour.) We ordered Dragonfly IPAs, which went down smooth on a hot summer day. We also enjoyed a couple of sliders from the Happy Hour menu. The Bad Elmer's Fav burger was good with lots of bacon but my favorite was the Hoosier Tenderloin. I should note that much of the food is locally sourced. The building has a large dining room, bar, private dining, private event room, and a fabulous patio with river views. The landscaping is gorgeous. Their signature beers are available for purchase to go along with the logo shirt and a few other logo items. I highly recommend a visit. The food and beer are first class. The setting is lovely and service is attentive.

I was thrilled when I realized it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying! They do an incredible job creating unique, fruit-forward beers. They even make a sour IPA that tastes almost like a margarita--bright, refreshing, and not overly hoppy at all. A flight was the perfect way to try several flavors. The food portions were huge! We ordered the brisket nachos and a mushroom burger without realizing the burger was a double. It was so much food, and everything was delicious. The beer, food, and experience absolutely lived up to two years of anticipation. We will definitely be back!

My girlfriend ordered a Bloody Mary for her drink and we got the Loaded Pulled Pork Fries for an appetizer. The fries were tasty, only complaint is they could've used more of the BBQ sauce due to the pork being a bit bland on its own. The fries were crunchy and seasoned well. The Bloody Mary was good, not the best she had ever had but it was good. She really enjoyed the "snacky snacks" on the top. We then ordered the Margherita pizza. It came out looking visually great. Upon tasting it was a tasty pizza. Would we order it again, I don't think so, but that is because it just isn't our normal go to. It was nice to try and a pleasant experience. When we eventually return we will try a different pizza and hope to enjoy it better.

It started out awkward because the menu still said "spring" at the last of the dog days of July and several beverages on the menu were "we're out". Then the "Elderberry Fizz" drink had not one fizzy bubble! We asked and they said that despite the name, the drink is flat. Huh? The Taxman beer was nice and the carbonation was just right. On to the food ... happy to find that the grilled cheese which is on local sourdough bread and stuffed with a nice amount of spinach could be ordered without bell peppers. It came with choice of side and she chose "Indiana mustard potato salad". Since she is from Indiana thought it funny that which part was "Indiana". I ordered the fish tacos small plate. The chef came out in person to make sure that fresh ahi grade tuna was ok (!) because so many people assume that tacos would have fried fish. He also guaranteed that not a bell pepper would be in site. We were sitting outside on their extensive patio and the beautiful food came out. We could not believe our luck. The $10 tacos were gorgeous and delicious, a bit spicy. The grilled cheese was more than the ordinary. The potato salad was quite good and a little sweet. If we lived in Columbus we would want to know about this great deal - a nice different meal for a Friday night or something.

It honestly felt like sitting down with family. We dealt directly with the owner, and the food was absolutely incredible. We didn't have a reservation, and I completely understood that, being a small restaurant, they might have to turn us away. Instead, they made room for us, and we had an amazing dinner. My wife had the cheese ravioli, and I had the tour, which included fresh homemade pasta, Alfredo, amazing meatballs, and incredible lasagna. Everything was fantastic, and the desserts were just as impressive. Our waitress was incredible--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The owner also checked in with us several times throughout the meal to make sure everything was good. That personal attention really made us feel welcome. What really stood out to me was how fresh and personal everything felt. They use fresh ingredients and change the menu instead of becoming overly commercialized. You can tell there is genuine pride and passion behind the food. More restaurants need to be like this. It was personal, welcoming, and genuinely memorable. We will absolutely be back--and I'll gladly detour during my travels just to make sure I can stop here again. Highly recommend!

I followed it with their caesar salad and fresh bread n' butter. The caesar salad was not a traditional Caesar dressing (i.e., anchovies and Dijon based) but was instead a more subtle, oil based vinaigrette. It was a nice twist and it was served with fresh, warm croutons which really took it over the top. For my entree, I had the penne vodka with chicken which was delicious - well-seasoned and tasted wonderful. The atmosphere is very old-school, laid back, and ambient with low lighting. Overall, I'd highly recommend at least a visit to this place! Definitely worth it in my opinion.
