Everyone we talked to was really friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. It was right after they opened on a weekday so they weren't too busy. The taproom is fashioned like a viking longhouse and the layout is great for big get-togethers. Not to mention the sprawling campus with gorgeous views. The beer was all pretty solid. Nothing to warrant a trip by itself, but I enjoyed all of them. The Margherita is always my litmus test for a pizza joint and they delivered! The crust was light and airy, really flavorful, and the charring was perfect. The sauce was bright, mozzarella fresh, and the basil (correctly) added after the bake. The pretzel was just as well done. Really fluffy with a crisp crust and just the right amount of chew. Their rotating specialty pizzas all sound amazing so you know next time I'm in the area I'll stop in for a pretzel, pizza, and a few tasters.

Sort of 'meh' on this place. I was super excited to check it out but was a little disappointed…read more The spirits were ok, the service was slow (but friendly!). We sat outside on their patio which was quite nice, but very loud with all the cars and trucks roaring by on the street. Not super relaxing. Maybe they'll iron out the kinks a bit with some time.

The gift shop has an impressive selection to Christmas decorations, kid stuff cooking items and more.

If you're by yourself or with a friend, you can sit at this wrap around table that fills most of the room. The breakfast menu was large, but with a few modern twists.

Highly recommend.

As soon as we walk in, my gf had an old coffee cup that she needed to throw out, so she tossed it in the garbage inside, what we believed to be the owner said "What's in that? I don't want my garbage to stink up the whole place"- (doesn't garbage go in the garbage can?)and from then on we wanted to order a good coffee but she continued to be rude. I'll also add that I've never ever made a review before and this was the first time I've ever felt compelled to write a review, was just very disappointed by how she treated my gf today.

I decided to get a pastrami and a pulled pork sandwich to go. The kid behind the counter actually heated up the two meats in a pan, I thought that was a nice touch. The lady was very nice and served it to me with a smile. I got 4 elk burgers to grill and I have had two. They are kind of gamey in a nice way and super lean. I will add some salt and pepper to it when I grill it up tonight. I might even add a slice of pepper jack to add a little fat to the meal. It went well with a nice side salad and some zucchini sticks. This place was a great small town meat market and there was a vegetable stand in the parking lot and I got some great cherry tomatoes.
