The onion rings were also delicious, crispy on the outside and perfectly satisfying. Everything tasted fresh and enjoyable. It is always such a pleasure to find a place that serves simple food so well. Challenger Tap House delivered a meal that was comforting, flavorful, and worth coming back for. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a good burger and excellent onion rings.

My wife and I come to Challenger Taphouse pretty often, and it's easily one of our favorite spots…read moreto grab a bite and relax. The food is always amazing. They have some really unique options that you don't see everywhere, like the brisket quesadilla (which is packed with flavor) and the Philly cheesesteak fries are seriously next-level comfort food. Everything we've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. They also have a huge beer selection, which is a big plus. There's always something new to try. I don't usually go for cocktails, but their drink menu is solid overall, and my wife has really enjoyed the cocktails she's ordered. One thing that really stands out is the staff. The servers and bartenders clearly know what they're doing and they're attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always make great recommendations. The manager is also very friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall positive experience. The atmosphere is another reason we keep coming back. It's a fun environment whether you're there to watch a game or just hang out and unwind. Great energy without feeling overwhelming. If you're looking for a place with great food, a wide beer selection, and a fun, laid back vibe with excellent service, Challenger Taphouse is definitely worth checking out. We'll absolutely keep coming back!

We started with a French baguette served with honey butter and olive oil for dipping. Both paired perfectly with the bread and were incredibly flavorful. For our entrées, we ordered the lamb shank with mashed potatoes and the herb honey-crusted chicken on a brioche bun. Both dishes were outstanding and full of flavor. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant, peaceful, and welcoming. We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be back!

Let's check off the key things on the list:…read more Service 5 - due to both the excellent service provided by Jackie, other wait staff, and very good bar staff. Food 3-5 - we've had mixed experiences, but mostly very good. There aren't any off menu requests accepted. One cannot replace ingredients. One can only remove specific items from a menu choice. Don't even ask. Apparently the chef's policy is absolute. Ambiance 4-5 nicely decorated and designed. Has a high end feel that is unusual for the AV. So why the 3 stars? One single experience. My wife asked the server (Jackie) if it would be possible to get a side of sauteed mushrooms. She said probably not as it's not permitted by the chef. We asked to speak to the manager to express our disappointment. When Jake showed up, before we uttered a word, he stated that it's just something they don't do, so no to our request. Then he turned and walked away. There was no dialogue. It was a one way conversation. In essence, we and our request were dismissed. The experience was incredibly off-putting. It was unnecessary to respond to a patron's request in that manner. Totally unacceptable. I write this review to memorialize the experience for others, because it won't matter to the owner/chef/management. It seems, judging by their total lack of response to other reviews, good or bad, that it really doesn't. Typical dinners we've had run a tab of $150-200 (including tip). We have visited 1-2 times a month for the past two years. We have brought friends and family on several occasions, generating additional per-visit revenue for the restaurant. Again, this doesn't seem to matter. So, sadly, we're going to have to take a leave of this place. Too bad really.

So the guy comes up all nice and says he'll switch us to the lane next to us and add our lost time when the other people are done. So we spent 15 minutes waiting before we got switched over, which keep in mind is already half of our game time, and finally got switched over, but when we did, it was like we were playing the whole time because it had only 13 minutes left. At first thought, I figured he would just start another 15 min game once the first ended and we'd go from there, but then our game ended and I went to go ask if he would start another round for us, and he said he already added more time. So I go back to sit down and expect another round to start, when I notice a party of like 10 come in and we waited for him to settle them down, thinking he would notice us waiting and be like "Oh maybe I'll start their round," but no, he puts that party in OUR lane and so I go up to ask the lady since he was busy on the phone, "Could you help us add more time?" I explained the situation to her and she said, "Lemme see what I can do." So me and my gf are sitting at the bar waiting and then he comes up to us very passive aggressively, INSISTING he added more time, and didn't even let me try explaining the situation to him. Word for word he said, "I 1000% added more time." Never going back again if that's how he's gonna act, Bowlero can have my money instead.

Virgil was the original person I spoke to and unfortunately wasn't there on the day of the event, but it still went well for me and my guess. I rented out the back patio holding approximately 200 guess. I had over a 80 plus a dog and no one sat on top of each other. There was plenty of room for everyone with a stage which I didn't use. My guess had a great time and the staff were very nice on that evening. I had food catered in so I didn't order anything there but I'm hearing the pizza's and salad's are great. I also had my own music which was ok for the venue since we were in our own area. There was a side gate leading to my private area for the caters to drop off the food along with guess who didn't want to use the main entrance. I will definitely use this venue again and again to host big parties such as that night and recommend it to others as well. Such an amazing time we all had!! Thanks Virgil for being such a nice guy and gentleman when I was asking all those questions. As I wanted to make sure this place was safe for my guess and family. up for Bravery Brewing!!

The beer selection is truly fantastic, fitting every preference from ciders and IPAs to porters and stouts. My favorites are definitely the rum and bourbon barrel-aged choices, and The Gunny is a classic that you should try. They have a pizza place inside, and food trucks often stop by as well. If you plan on getting pizza, definitely order online ahead of time if you can, especially on busy nights--the wait can easily stretch past an hour otherwise. Whether or not you served, this brewery is open and welcoming to everyone, even on big celebration nights, like the recent 250th birthday of the Marine Corps, which was a great time. Highly recommend checking it out!
