    Just left here. Stopped in by chance. Great beer and good food. Darcy the server was A+. A hidden gem of a lace.

    Food was great as always! Service was fast and friendly. Blake was our server. He kept it lively…read morebetween jokes and safely corralling the bees.

    What to say about this place. 1. Seat yourself. Yeah when…read moreyou have a large party like we did, it's pretty hard to get a table. We tried to put two tables together and were told that "it would stick out" and then had to wait for another table next to one to leave so that our party would be separated. 2. The food is WAY overpriced for what you get. I order a Philly cheesesteak and it's $12 just for the sandwich! No sides that's an extra $1.50. Someone in our party ordered the sampler and that was tiny too for $23. The cheesesteak was this little thing in a tiny hoagie. 3. Their "boneless wings" were pretty much chicken nuggets and in no way shape or form would you consider "wings". We also ordered our sauces on the side and had to build our own PB&J sauce on our "wings" and the sauce was not even good. 4. The service was terrible. Besides seating ourselves and the table fiasco, the server took 20 minutes to come to our table and had an attitude just taking our order. When someone in our party couldn't figure out what they wanted instead of making a suggestion, the server rudely said "I'll just comeback." And walked away, they came back 10 minutes later and when our person order they walked away before the person could add or change anything to their order. I had to also order a refill on my soda and felt ignored. Let's just say this is a one and done for me and would not recommend this place to anyone

    My wife and I spent several days in Valparaiso to both visit her sister and introduce me to the…read moretown where both of them went to college. I had always wanted to go there and am very happy to say that I totally enjoyed the visit. While there, we visited a lot of places and ate most meals out. Ironwood was one of them. Most of you know that I have serious OCD when it comes to craft beer. I like to try new breweries, always rate my suds on Untappd, and rarely drink beers that I have already had, unless there are no other options. So, of course I was going to try the breweries in Valparaiso. This one just happened to be owned by one of my wife's college friends. The brewery is in a nice little building. I'm sure it was probably a home before the remodel. It has ample parking in the back next to a small little patch of woods, probably about the size of a normal backyard. There were birds all over the trees, reminding me that I had made the stupid decision to leave my camera in San Antonio. My eyes immediately fell on the flight boards. They are set up with 9 spaces so that they can easily match the beer to a number, as they had nine choices to choose from. I asked for all nine to be on one, and she let me have them half-filled. I love beer, but never want to feel buzzed, if I plan to drive. In this situation, I just wanted to taste them. I liked all of the beers here. My two favorites were the Triple XXX Belgian Triple and the Cricket IPA. I also really liked Goliath's Demise barleywine. Barleywines in general are not my favorites, usually because they are not fresh. This one was fresh and not cloyingly sweet. My wife, as most of you know, is not a beer drinker- AT ALL. For that reason, we left after I finished the flight and a couple of small glasses of my two favorites. The atmosphere was very cozy. The local patrons who came in were all very friendly. One lady at the bar spoke with us as if we were there with her every day. The owner's husband came in and placed a plate with smoked salmon and crackers on the bar for everyone. And, most notably, there was not a TV in sight! Imagine, a place to cozily sit and converse with fellow beer drinkers without sports blasting in your ears!

    Stopped here for a drink the other night. Very cute, small bar that's off the beaten path. The…read morebartender and patrons were very nice. I had the Ruthenia (Imperial Stout), Commodore Porter (Porter), and the Mead. All the drinks were very good and the prices were cheap. There's various of sizes that you could get (3oz to Growler size). Menu changes frequently. Will be back soon!

    We stopped at Burnham Brewing after a very long drive as we were starting our cross-country road…read moretrip, so we were absolutely starving! The ambience is really cute, with plenty of seating and some fun artwork on the walls that gives the place a nice atmosphere. We ordered a beer flight, and I really enjoyed one of their sours, which was definitely a highlight for me. Unfortunately, the food was a different story. We ordered a few things and honestly weren't big fans of any of it. Even though the food wasn't really for us, we still enjoyed the atmosphere and the beer, so I'm giving Burnham Brewing . I'd definitely come back for the drinks and atmosphere, but I'd probably try something different food-wise next time!

    A super sweet place to stop on our way up to the UP…read more Delicious food, great service, and tasty samples of beer that I got to buy some to go. They even have brunch.. bummer that I'm not gonna be able to go there that day. But another trip will stop in for brunch. They have legit biscuits and gravy. Large and spacious, and great big bar. When driving up look for the parking lot to the left of the building. But if you drive by it just pull into the small driveway on the other side of the building to get back around to it. You can enter both sides. Check out my pictures for brunch.
