It's been a while since I had Lonerider's beer and at one point it slipped my mind to write a…read morereview about it but then I realized there was still a review I haven't posted yet for the brewery and decided to rectify that oversight. We had three different beers from this brewery, one in which appears to be no longer in production. The discontinued one was a pale ale by the name of Peacemaker. It was refreshing and enjoyable to have. Flavor features with this beer are that typically seen with a pale ale which are hoppy, malty and sweet. The beer is very light bodied which is nice and very smooth. Unfortunate that it's out of production. The other two beers we had are still being made. One was Shotgun Betty which is a Hefeweizen. Not bad but sometimes I struggle with Hefes and the strong banana clove flavor which was the case here. It was good that it was light bodied like most Hefes are and smooth also. The final beer was the Sweet Josie Brown Ale which I think was my favorite. The sweet, malty and coffee flavors are very enjoyable and like the prior two beers a nice smooth body to this fine dark beer. I am glad I recalled this brewery experience as I felt it was important to post the beers we had and what we thought of them!

I decided to branch out and try the Parisian Grilled Cheese -- Brie, ham, and raspberry preserves-- and it too me right back to my favorite cafe in Ireland! The tomato soup, a must with grilled cheese, was bright and fresh, fragrant with basil! Definitely check out the test kitchen menu-- there are always fun new dishes and every bite is delicious! I'm usually with a group of 4 and more, and the service is always prompt and friendly!

Our friend talked highly about the Grits and my wife loved them and was looking for more. I had the Comfort breakfast with sausage links. Little spice in the links which was good, more than enough for the Tater Tots I selected for my meal along with Rye Toast. Our server was spot on the whole time we were in the restaurant, on the check it says his name is DAY. Nice ambiance to the restaurant nice set up and great atmosphere, they have a little gift shop on the way out to pick up a few things if you needed them. Great job by the staff and the food was spot on.

Great choice highly recommend many…read moreselections to choose from he and my wife had the Chicken Piccata and they both enjoyed it immensely. Just the right amount of seasoning to make the meal enjoyable. I had the Spaghetti and Meat Balls and it was fantastic. The sauce was different not overloaded with tomatoes and the food was not swimming in the sauce as I have seen in other restaurants. Just a hint of sauce and plenty of meat in the sauce as you can see in the pictures. Three large size meatballs to go along with the dinner. Pinot Grigio was a good selection for my wife, my friend had the sierra Pale Ale, I had the Red Oak Amber which i loved. I enjoy a red ale or a dark amber with craft beers. Our waitress was spot on the whole evening sorry the name was not listed on the bill to mention her by name. The bar was full so it seems to be the place to be on a Friday evening to enjoy a brew with friends and associates. Compliments to the chef and the staff excellent job.

I…read moretried it again recently with my parents (since they hadn't been there in forever either), and we had a great dinner! My mom and I both enjoyed our martinis. If you like a dirty martini, the Dirty Leesville is for you! We tried two appetizers and both were tasty. The fried pickles had the perfect pickle-to-breading ratio, and the potato skins were delicious with sour cream (loved the fresh green onion on these). My ribeye was flavorful and tender; even though I ordered it medium-rare and it came a touch past that, it was still delicious. If you're a local, this is a great spot for dinner and drinks. We got there at 5:30pm on a Friday and were seated immediately, but by 6pm there was a line out the door. Get there early!

The staff who greeted us was extremely friendly and accommodating. We were sat with the stipulation that there was a reservation behind us in an hour and a half which was very doable for us. I do not partake in alcohol so I was appreciative of the zero proof menu options. I ordered the Jesse and it was sweet but sour, it balanced itself very well. My fiance loved his old fashioned with an orange and fig bourbon. Our waiter was direct and down to business, likely because they were busy, but a great waiter none the less. The food was excellent! Elevated American bar food that was cooked to perfection and had some nice fusion flavors: sesame tuna with edamame, goat cheese, walnuts and a special kind of beet that made my salad fresh and earthy. Truffle and onions with smashed burger dipped in bubbly cheese is a comfort food dream. Same with the Mac n cheese with bacon, really tickles the indulgence fancy! I do recommend this place, especially if you have friends who love bourbon or other kinds of whiskey!

It was very tart like cranberry and not very strong. I also ordered the grilled chicken sliders no mayo or tomato. It came with two. They were tasty. Slightly overcooked, but the cheese helped enough. I also had to order fries on the slide, which was slightly disappointing because the two sliders are already $15 and fries $8.50, even though I didn't order the side sauces that come with it. It felt $2 overpriced in both instances. I don't know if I'd get again, but the fries were seasoned well. My fiancé ordered the braised pork shoulder. The meat was tender and had a decent flavor. The mac and cheese was okay, nothing special. Overall, the dish was drowned in too much barbecue sauce to the point he felt he was eating more sauce than the entree. He subbed sprouts with fries, which were tasty. He wouldn't order again. It was a big portion though. Service was good. Music was okay, a bit random, but still fun.

Will definitely be returning to try other menu options!

My husband and I went to the Village Tavern for dinner and ordered the NY Strip (med rare) and…read moremeatloaf. The NY Strip arrived more than well done, so we told the waitress and she apologized and sent it back to the kitchen. As I was eating the meatloaf, I noticed an off taste and texture. I looked closer and realized it was still pink/slimy/raw! How can meatloaf be raw? It's supposed to be fully cooked first and then grilled. Whoever sliced it from the "loaf" should have noticed it was not cooked before throwing it on the grill! We notified the manager when he came to apologize for the NY strip, so he took the meatloaf back to the kitchen. When the NY Strip came back out, my husband cut into it and it was shiny and purple inside, from top to bottom...absolutely rare. The waitress agreed it was rare and took it back to the kitchen again. When it came out for the third time, it was perfect (third time's a charm, I guess?). The only saving grace was the kind waitress who felt awful about the sub par food. The kitchen put her in an uncomfortable position, but she handled it with grace. We ordered the chocolate torte for dessert and it was very good, but that's the only thing I'd return for.

We all enjoyed the special drink of the day which was the watermelon margarita. We ordered a few items off the menu and ate family style. We all especially enjoyed the short rib tacos.

Everything was tasty but the short rib was my favorite! I'll definitely be trying more short rib items next time I visit. We sat outside, and since it got pretty hot, we didn't stick around to keep playing after we finished eating. If you have the time, it's probably worth waiting for a table inside, or you can make a reservation if you have a party of at least 5.
