    Burnt cornbread
    R W.

    This right here is unacceptable. This pan of cornbread should have been thrown out and remade. It should not have been served to customers.

    Apple pie!

    Diana's service was exceptional. Always there when we needed her and super friendly. Sounds silly but the free cornbread is my favorite!!

Thank the Lord we were only a few doors down, we never would have made it in our heels. My reservation that I made changed 3 times, only to add more people to our reservation that same day. Never once did they complain or state that they could not accommodate us. Once we all trickled in, it was about 18 people. Our tables were ready. I believe our waitress name was Jude, but nonetheless, she definitely was a jewel. She informed us that they were short staff, but she would take our orders. She accommodated every single one of us, never messing up or mixing up the orders, when ask for extras, she got them out immediately and to add to all of this the food was excellent. If you ever get a chance to stop by Studio Four29 I highly recommend it, not just for the food, but also the service. Bravo to our waitress she was on point. Sorry no pictures, by the time we thought about it, you would've just had pictures of empty plates.

The 502 burger is good but I'd recommend light peppers. They're not spicy but they overwhelm the taste of everything else. Their rusty anchor is pretty tasty.

Nachos were just okay but were mostly loaded with bland tortilla chips and a sprinkle of toppings and a dash of cheese. Wings were also just okay, somewhat bland as well. The ONE thing that is ALWAYS consistent about this restaurant is the service. It has always been awful. Our server had to be stopped to order our drinks, appetizers AND main entrees. She paid us no mind at all and barely even acknowledged we were there. My last visit was the same experience. I have had other friends say the same thing. I came back with the hope that the service would improve but if anything, it appears to have gotten worse. So unfortunate since this restaurant is visually very cute. Overall, I really want to love this place but I think it's time to part ways unfortunately lol there is definitely room for improvement here.

    We decided to check out Limerick's Tavern for St. Patrick's Day since it's local and we've heard…read moreit's kid-friendly. Big disappointment overall. When we called ahead, no one mentioned they were only serving a limited St. Patrick's Day menu today. Nothing from the regular menu was available. My daughter ended up eating plain fries the whole time because there wasn't a single kid-appropriate option. It felt misleading after being told it's family-friendly when we called prior to coming. The place was packed. The line was out the door, and we had a long wait. Inside was uncomfortably hot and stuffy too. I was eyeing the Cottage Pie but asked the server about peas (not a fan), and she said it might have a lot, so I passed. My wife ordered it instead since she doesn't mind peas and surprise, zero peas in it. She said it was just okay, nothing special, so I guess I didn't miss out. I went with the Irish Nachos instead. They were fine, but the house-made potato chips were underwhelming. Crispy but not flavorful. The standout was the lemon pepper wings. Those were actually really good. Green beer was a fun thematic touch too. Atmosphere is lively for the holiday, but for a regular visit or even future St. Patrick's Day? Probably not coming back. If you're planning to go on the big day, brace for crowds and waits. And for fun, here's a limerick summing it up: There once was a pub in Upland so grand, For St. Paddy's we joined hand in hand. But the menu was slim, Kid options were grim, Just fries for our lass, what a bland! The heat made us sweat, lines out the door, Cottage Pie? "Peas maybe." We weren't sure. No peas in the end, Wife said "meh" my friend, Nachos were fine, wings we adored. Green beer was cool, but that's all the cheer, Average at best, won't return here. Three stars is the call, For the holiday thrall. Fun once, but not every year!
