It was as sweet as Becky the night we met, but Becky stuck around a lot longer than this cake (LOL!). A scrumptious way to end the meal. We WILL be BACK!

The waiters told us some really cool stories too. Service was great all night.

The food was great. We got a couple starters that were recommended and they were all fantastic. I got a salad for dinner and it was huge and had really great flavor.

Weeknight specials make it easy to come after work for a quick meal, and we can bring the pup. Dog-friendly patio, fun events and happy servers make this place special.

My son got the Mexican lasagna and loved it. -I got the smash burger and it was good, not great. Burgers were thicker than traditional smash burger, but pretty darn good.

I'm sure when the weather is nice, it would be a beautiful spot to sit outside, enjoy your meal, and take in the river views. I had their Cali Grill Chicken Sandwich and it was delicious! The bacon gave it a slightly salty flavor, while the avocado added a nice creaminess. So yummy! I also loved their fries. Hot, crispy, and perfectly crunchy! The service was great and I really liked the vibe of the restaurant. It had a cool industrial feel with steel high-top stools and wooden seating. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other menu items! The only downside was finding parking. If you're not familiar with the area, you may have to park a block or two away, so just keep that in mind when you visit.

It's clean including the bathrooms. And the service was friendly and got me in and out without issue. They have several beers on tap. My first choice was an ipa but they were out off all of their IPA's on the day I went. I ordered a pineapple upside down cake sour that was gluten free instead. And I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't really sour but had a nice sweetness and it really tasted like pineapple upside down cake. I definitely recommend trying it. For lunch I went with The Candied Chick-ciabatta bun, grilled chicken, candied bacon, tomato, smoked Gouda, and ranch. They have several side options that don't have an up charge so I went with the chips and queso. The sandwich was delish and exactly what I was looking for. The chicken was actually grilled and you could tell that they actually cook the food and use real ingredients and food. The bacon was delicious and I loved the combo. I equally loved the chips and queso. The chips are also handmade. I saw someone with nacho and these chips would be killer in them because they definitely wouldn't be getting soggy. Highly recommend this sandwich and side. I loved this spot and I'm so happy that I stopped. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely stop in.

Wait times for food were well over an hour and there was a glitch the ordering system. My sister -in-law comes to this place often and even noted this was not common for the restaurant. Our server made adjustments to our bill and I made sure to give her a good tip even though the delay in getting our food was poor. The food itself was good and worthy of another visit. As I said, our server did a wonderful job but my wife had to ask 3 times over the hour plus wait to get answers about what was going on. My wife and daughters have worked front of house service so we can understand issues. As for the back of the house, it says to me that she a front of house server has to help expedite orders, there is a management and training issue that has to be resolved. Our server was apologetic and sincere and that says a lot for her abilities. As for the back of house and overall management, there needs to be improvement. Would I recommend this place? Yes but with a warning that while the food is good and the severs do well, one may end up waiting on their food.

I didn't look into the place before we stopped here so I assumed it was either surfer-themed or was attached to a coffeehouse. Little did we know it was a heavy metal/groove metal nanobrewery. I thrive on heavy metal so perfect for me, not so much for Emily. There were about 10 beers on tap to pick from so I got the Midlife Crisis (fitting as I near 40) and Emily got the Green Mind. The place was filled with what felt like the regulars so we took a spot over in a corner to drink one last beer before the road and play some card games in my 'pub kit' as seen in the cover photo above. My pub kit is a simple plastic container I got from Walmart that is full of quick and easy games to play at breweries, coffeehouses, or wherever you are. It just happens to be plastered in stickers from my travels. Anywho, back to the topic at hand. I really liked Wake Brewing. I have been into IPAs lately and tried a West Coast one for the first time. It was tasty but since I've been drinking hazy or tropical ones, it didn't quite hit like I am used to but that's on me and not the beer itself. Emily really liked her gose beer. I was eyeing the other IPAs on the menu but with a 2 hour drive back, I didn't want to delay us getting home before too late. While we sat there, some really nice groove metal was playing. It reminded me of Tool but less technical and more foot tapping. Shazam said it was King Buffalo and I'll have to check them out once life settles down a bit. If the heavy metal scene scares you, don't be intimidated. Most metal heads are big nerds and are some of the chillest people around. We didn't stick around too long but I wish we had. I loved the entire vibe of this place and would've liked to try some of their other beers. They do have some merch for sell, so you know Emily and I got all their stickers for this trip. If luck finds us back here again, I will def get a shirt. Anything to support heavy metal (and beer). As a side note, do know that trying to park here had me miss the parking lot's few entrances quite a few times. So, if it's your first time, be vigilant of the weird layout and multiple entrances. Rock on!
