You get 6 for $10, which is a steal. My favorites were the Mexican Lager and Strawberry Blonde. They were delicious! We were impressed with how good the food was! We did the wings, fried green beans, truffle fries, and the Southwestern Smoked Chicken sandwich. Would recommend them all! Everything was fresh and very well made. So good! Only knock was the service. It seems that they're understaffed so there was 1 server for the whole dining area. Not her fault, she was a gem, but long waits.. If you're coming to town, THAT is a excellent choice to visit! Sit outside, enjoy the weather, and have some great food and drinks. We will be back!

Very tasty. Overall a very good meal.

The Tap Room at the Old County Inn -- Worth the Trip Tucked…read moreup in Pine, Arizona, the Old County Inn's "Tap Room" runs the full OCI menu but operates as a super-fun, super-small neighborhood bar -- and our friend Nikki is the reason it's worth the trip. Nikki works with the efficiency of a Swiss watch. She can wait on you, serve you, and juggle two other tasks all at once -- chatting the whole time about how great it is to be in Pine. She knows everyone's name, what they usually order, and even a little about who they are. She truly is the hostess with the mostess. The Tap Room is small -- it seats about 25 to 30 -- but it carries an incredible inventory: craft draft beer, tasty wines, and amazing cocktails, plus some great bourbons and whiskeys. No matter how packed it gets (and it gets very busy, all the time, usually standing room only), Nikki is at your table at exactly the right moment to ask if you "need another," want to "order some food," or could use a glass of water. It's amazing to watch, and it creates one of the most fun atmospheres in the whole state of Arizona. They've got live music too -- one- or two-person bands whose singers are part of the crowd, not just there to entertain. It really is "a bar where everyone knows your name." Nikki is the star. She's your hostess, your server, your bartender -- and most importantly, your friend. I couldn't recommend the Tap Room at OCI more. Go see Nikki. As the saying goes, it's worth the trip.

Disclaimer: rarely five stars as there is always room for improvement…read more So, I left my card here the other day! Joe called me back and is mailing it! Thank you! But while I had him on the phone I asked some questions. First off, I found this place back in 2021, but they open at 4. And my pine strawberry trip is quarterly. So yes I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. We were greeted and sat. They had zucchini flower app, we opted in. While I wasn't a huge fan of the balsamic, the flower had a perfect combo of mascarpone and ricotta, and deep fried in a light batter. Really good. I had the 1/2 and 1/2 ravioli, which are bought. Joe told me. The sauce was amazing and the sausage CANNOT be missed. Made in house and it is dope af. I want a shipment My friend had the manicotti which looked amazing. Bread is delish and you get a choice of soup or salad. Sadly, they were out of soup so salads was the option and honestly it was really good. And I'm not a salad girl. I will return. Pizza next. Joe is a one man show and the food quality is amazing. Again hours are wonk, but call and they have them recorded. Very impressive old school meals.

We spent 85$ for the two of us and the wait staff should've ask if everything was ok beca we left full plates behind the only thing I can say positive is the place was clean! Save your money go down the street to the wood fire pizza place called country in delicious hot food with the money and wait times. I will never eat at mama joes again place need to learn how to to make spaghetti sauce if they are Italian food...

Guys!! You need to check this place out!…read more Family of four ordered two large pizzas, the kids ordered a half- half, chicken Alfredo and the other half was pesto. One of our kids is super picky when it comes to eating, but he absolutely loved the chicken Alfredo. Husband and I ordered the supreme style pizza and were not disappointed. The dough was perfectly seasoned, and the pizza was cooked to perfection with so much toppings! We also ordered 24 bone in garlic Parmesan wings! If you don't like pizza, definitely check out the wings. They were amazing!! The entire staff was friendly and very accommodating.
