    The Mac is mackin

    Ben & company friggin ROCK!!! We crept up on Ganymead last night and immediately felt welcomed into the space. On any given night it could be quiet or could be filled with happy people eating and drinking. It was great that it was quiet last night because we got the intimate feel and were able to chat with Ben, Logan and...yikes! We forgot her name Anyways, there's a pool table, a hike box that has RECENT MUSIC!!! Like the past 2 decades for sure-Thank goodness!! So we danced and ate away to good Ol Doja Cat Art from local artists like the walls and they're for sale too!! The layout is open which allows us to see Chef Ben preparing our dishes. We tried: Pasta with meat sauce (real pieces of beef, pork and mushrooms). Chicken with mac and cheese (a simple but version that does the job FOR SURE!) and the chicken was drizzled with an orange ginger glaze!! Fried Fish and potato wedges Cranberry BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich, which is definitely to die for! The drinks were generous: Jolly Rancher Limeade We can wait to go back for more late night eats! And maybe a lil karaoke to come!! Negroni

    Baked pasta & chicken, covered with cheese, light sauce and great blend of herbs sided by maple glazed carrots

    Great burger, not so great tacos…read more Learned that Catsup and Mustard's chef decided to make a new place tied with urban lodge. I'm always down for a good burger, and catsup was one of the best burgers around. So I made the trek to this locale to relive the greatness. Place is a little walk-up order place. Like a roadside snack shack or a ice cream shop. You put your order in, you get a marker, and a server comes out to deliver your meal. We ordered their Diablo burger, some truffle fries, and one of all their tacos. Knew the burger was going to be good, figured the tacos would be too. They were not, at all. The fish taco smelled very fishy and was underseasoned. So you got this smelly soft fish and chewy taco shell and that's about it. The chorizo taco was more like sweet Italian sausage with no flavor. With the same chewy shell. The cilantro lime chicken taco, the chicken was dry and the bang boom sauce was more of a rice Krispy snap crackle and pop. No punch, very little heat. The mister mack was the best of the bunch, with flavors similar to a cheeseburger. Still a chewy shell, but a good bite. The burger and fries were stellar. The Diablo burger was spicy and juicy, tons of toppings and a very thick patty. Bun was soft, toasted, and everything worked together harmoniously. The truffle fries were fresh cut, soaked, double fried, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The truffle was pronounced but not overpowering, and the basalmic catsup and truffle mayo were great dips. If you stick to the burgers, there's lots to love. Avoid the tacos, but the burgers are still really good.

    Overall, great place to hang with friends and grab some grub!! Staff is super friendly, attentive,…read moreand helpful. Due to sharing space with the brewery there are plenty of cool comfy places to sit and enjoy. Lost a star due to tacos - keep reading... We don't drink - so we ate during lunch on a Saturday. You order at the outdoor window - then they bring your food to you wherever you may want to sit. Which there are a variety of places and types. Indoor patio, outdoor patio, couches, high tops, low tops, by the darts, or by the board games. Your choice. Location - 5 starts. Burgers and fries - 5 stars. If we had only stopped there. However, we unfortunately ordered the tacos. One of each to try (I love tacos) And all four tacos were not good. Flavors were just not there. Nothing was seasoned, loved the idea of the cheese between the shells, but honestly the execution just made everything chewy. The fish smelled very fishy - which is never good and definitely wasn't blackened - even though it was supposed to be. So tacos - 2 star. However, overall I am definitely going back. Hopefully order something else on the menu and it will be amazing. Great casual atmosphere to hang with some friends. And I am sure the brewery is amazing too!!! So just stay away from the tacos and you are sure to enjoy your time :))

    Good burger, nice enough front end, slow service…read more I've been meaning to give this place a try. Mainly because it's close by and I've been intrigued by it. Always would swing by around the time it would be closed, so today I made a special trek to give this place a try. The place was quiet, a few people dining in. Took about a good 5 minutes to be seated, a single waitress manning the entire front of house. I didn't look at the menu beforehand, so I didn't know what to expect. As it turns out, it's a burger joint. Well, more accurately a bar with bar bites that just so happen to be burgers and wraps. I opted to go for their burger flight, but was informed they were out of chicken. so I swapped out the chicken for another burger patty. Also got some sweet potato waffle fries, because why not? Food took about 20 minutes to get, which is a long time to wait for appetizers. but the food came out eventually and I got my pictures and dug in. The negatives first - The waffle fries were cold on delivery. They were made in advance and lost all their heat by the time the burgers finished up. Flavor-wise, not bad. the honey mustard dipping sauce was appreciated. Need a little bit more spicy zip though, was a tad too sweet. I wasn't a fan of the cheese choice, was a little too waxy for my taste, could've not been warmed up enough, hard to tell. also the bottoms of the buns were lightly toasted but the tops were not and they were also cold to the touch. However, the rest of the meal was actually very good. The burgers were seasoned and hand ground beef. they had a lot of maple bacon pieces on them and the pretzel bun was soft and spongy with a little crisp on the inside. the pulled pork slider was pretty good as well. the combo of tender, sauce drenched pork with cool, creamy, and sweet slaw lead to a very solid bite. And that to me is the crux of the matter. They do good food but they cut corners. some corners are fine to cut, and they know how to prioritize what matters most in a dish. The slow service was a bummer, and if they executed just a little better then this would be a nice place to go to watch a game and get some bites. There were other gripes as well. Their happy hour menu doesn't match their main menu, and you can order those items even if it isn't happy hour at a more expensive price. Nowhere is that mentioned, and some of those items would be awesome to have normally. I mean, fresh cut and fried chips with buffalo chicken dip? Yes please! They do fresh chips, they can easily put together a nacho platter. They offer chicken tacos, but they could offer beef tacos. The burger flight should have fries, with the option to upgrade them to other sides or flavors. Fries are cheap, and I don't know many people that would turn down a well done disco fry if given the option. Granted, there's not many real "casual bar" areas in that stretch of town. But there is a brewery across the way, and I suspect that they are actually owned by the same cooks. so it's effectively competing against yourself, and that's not a great idea. For those looking for solid bar bites, this place will do well enough. They can be a tad slow, but the food is pretty good. It's a small casual bar to relax at, and the food's pretty decent

We both ordered the veggie omelet which came with country potatoes and toast- we both had rye. All of it was hot and delicious! I had really wanted to try the poutine but I am a vegetarian and sadly, they don't offer it with a mushroom gravy, which I found at two poutine places in Quebec City. I guess there are not enough vegetarians asking for it around here. I gotta say it was super loud in here as the place was packed with a large group. I enjoy a lively atmosphere but it was just too much. I found myself wanting to rush to get out of there as the noise was overwhelming while eating breakfast. I prefer to ease into my day. I can't fault the restaurant for that. It's obvious people love this place and I do too!

Upon entering, we found the wait staff chatting with each other at the seats or serving the handful of customers in the dining room. Decor was heavily coffee influenced-- from the wallpaper to the wall art, it's obvious a cup of joe plays a role here. We ordered a smattering of breakfast dishes and of course, two of the poutine dishes. Overall the food was just ok, not memorable. The pancakes had a nice texture but were largely flavorless; maple syrup helped somewhat but that ended up being the only flavor. Eggs were serviceable, potatoes were fine. The poutine was okay. I've had much better in Canada. Theirs felt like a beef based gravy out on top of French fries, with pockets of cheese curds, which were the better part of the meal. The Quebecois poutine was better, with added ham & veggies to add some complexity. The downside of our visit came as we approached their closing hour of 2pm. The crew started cleaning up and vacuuming around us as we were still eating before close. I had a single cup of coffee, and when I asked for a refill, the waitress apologized and said they poured it out because it was getting close to closing time. Ironic, considering the amount of pro-coffee memorabilia around the restaurant. We hadn't even hit closing but pouring out the coffee while a table was still eating didn't cross anyone's mind. (Nor cleaning around us, passively encouraging us to leave.) The coffee wasn't removed from the bill in recognition that maybe they made a mistake. Overall.. eh. I was hoping for more, but it is what it is. I'm sure it's fine for the regulars, but this wasn't worth the long trip for what I was hoping was a callback to Quebec faire, in Connecticut.

I think it is relatively new (change from another restaurant in the same location)? Plenty of parking, both in front & in the back of the building. There is an outside patio that will be nice to use when the weather is a little warmer. Inside, the space is good sized, with both booths & tables. Our server was very nice, friendly and welcoming. Food was very good. Stronger coffee (which I prefer). My husband & I both had omelettes. The omelettes are made with 3 eggs & come with toast & potatoes.

Indoor (two sides, one w bar) and outdoor seating (in nice weather). So, I tried the cheeseburger with a side of fries. Advertised as 8 ozs. It was very good, not great. Definitely a patty, and also did not have that charbroiled taste. Bun was substantial, and held the cb well. Fries were very good. For me, the price point was slightly high, more in line with what a pub might charge. Lots of choices on the menu, and some interesting breakfast options. I also liked the happy hour listings. Service very good. So, overall, I am a fan. 4 stars

But I would say that Texas Roadhouse, for the type of place that it is, could very well be the best one. Compared to Applebee's or that sort of place, this one is tops. Part of the great bexperience was great service. Our waitress was clearly very waitress and inserted herself into the ordering process in a proactive way that SAVED MY DINNER. I didn't realize that the Road Kill was actually just a beef patty... "chop steak" sounds like a chop of steak to me, or a part of the cow (the "chops!")... she cleared me up real good. We had free bread, gobbled it up and the waitress brought plenty more. I wound up ordering the Beef Tips with mashed potatoes and a side of Corn. Wow... that was tasty. Ordered the combo appetizer which was good... not crazy about the wings but the Fried Pickles were the best... surprised me. Had a frozen strawberry margarita with silver Patron. Another WOW.

We've been visiting this location around 10 times in the last few months. The service was pretty good and the food is always good. Tonight the script was flipped. Our frequent bartender Hailey was totally opposite in personality to us as she had been in the past. She ignored us completely and was chatting it up with everyone on either side of us. I had to wave my arms twice to get her attention. Her manager boss was working along side of her and she was nothing short of a cigar store Indian! Totally dismissive. Between them both and for whatever reason their lack of attention to two repeated customers, I'm all set on this restaurant. Too many other options to deal with this level of rudeness.
