    Maple bacon burger
    Cecilia L.

    The burgers looked great in photos, but the experience was disappointing. While the pictures were aesthetically appealing, the food didn't live up to expectations. We initially tried to place a takeout order online, but the system was down. Since they don't accept phone orders, we had to go in person just to order, which was already inconvenient. Overall, it wasn't the best experience. Maple Bacon Burger - 2/5: The patty wasn't well seasoned, and the sauce was very minimal, so the sriracha aioli was barely noticeable. But the fries were the one thing they did well BBQ Brisket Sandwich - 1.5/5: Lacked flavor overall; the brisket itself wasn't seasoned Philly Cheesesteak - 1.5/5: Didn't resemble a true Philly cheesesteak and was light on meat, which made it underwhelming

    Fried chicken sandwich
    Rose W.

    We came here tonight after checking it out on Yelp (we're visiting the area from NYC). We sat outside upstairs, which gave us a lovely view of the surrounding mountains as the sun went down. I had the fried chicken sandwich and my girlfriend had the veggie burger. Both came with a huge helping of french fries. Both dishes were solid -- they didn't knock our socks off, but they did the trick. Service was excellent.

    Chicken sandwich
    Gloria L.

    The 3 stars is solely based on the food When I went it was really busy, but they still did a great job with the service. Albeit they did take a while for the food to come out and did forget my dish, but again, super busy and were very nice. No big deal since we got our drinks immediately. The tables and booths are very close together, definitely feels a little packed when multiple waitresses and people are moving around (we were in the back, but I think others had more space in the central area) Now for the food. Super duper bland, I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was crispy and crunchy, but the batter and chicken tasted like nothing. The chili could use a little spice and a more full flavor, but it was fine. I did like the tortilla chips that came with them. The fries were great, a big fan of steak fries. Others really liked their food, so it might be just me. I would say get their burgers since it did look good, but skip out on the chicken sandwich if you're into a more flavorful breading.

    Buffalo chicken wings
    Srinithi R.

    This place has a beautiful view of the mountains. The food is also really good for a quick bite. I got the Cajun chicken wrap, pretzels and a spicy margarita. I really liked my margarita and the pretzels. The pretzels were soft and the mustard was really good and on the sweeter side. The chicken wrap was a little dry but it just needed more sauce. Our servers were amazing and super nice. They have a lot of seating inside and some picnic tables outside. I will definitely come back here for more food and drinks.

    Wings and potstickers
    Blake G.

    Decided to try some place new to us for some apps and beers. This place was perfect. We grabbed seats at the bar and a team of bartenders greeted us. Nice craft beer selection and cozy place. Ordered wings and potstickers. Food was good and service was better. Check this place out!

    Chicken grilled sandwich with fries

    Ryan was our server ! Atmosphere great. Busy Friday night hit food quick. Soft pretzel sticks were great- fluffy and not oily or buttery!! Delicious.. great list of drinks alcohol and nonalcoholic. They even customized my ginger beer and pour it over cranberry and added lemon lime! The place was packed but our server was very attentive!

    Chipotle Chicken Salad
    Jungwon K.

    This place was exceptionally mid. We stopped by on Friday evening and the restaurant itself wasn't too busy. We were seated in the corner and we ended up moving to the bar because our server never showed up after waiting for more than 10 minutes. At the bar, we were able to order pretty quickly but afterwards it was so hard to get the bartender's attention. I ordered the chipotle chicken salad and I was pretty disappointed. It was a very small portion of lettuce and it just had tons of cheese and tomato. For $18, I expected more. When we were trying to pay our bill, it took a while for us to get the check and after we paid it took another long time to submit it and get the card back. Cannot recommend this place.

    Friday night is Prime Rib Night and Tito's Night!

Two Brothers was the choice from the desk so we went with it and so glad we did. Place looked pretty busy, bar was full, we were seated pretty much right away. The menu is smaller (perfect amount of items , hate too many choices) but done well. We love doing shareable so we can try a bunch of different things. The mussels were the absolute show stopper here, different than most. Tequila, spicy, little bits of sausage, (i would have drank the broth or made this a soup it was so good) The Poutine was different than I was used to, it was our least favorite but still ok. This is just a personal preference but I'm used to being smothered in gravy, it was almost non existent. It's like the ere was a ladle on the bottom and fries on top so didn't get a lot of it. The street corn dip was really good, much different than others I've had as well but in a really good way. It was hearty with lots of corn, had some nice spice to it. We also had (not pictured) French onion soup, loved it, nice peppery, piping hot. The cheddar ale soup, best I've had, literally you can taste all the components of this, rich, thick, creamy, sharp cheddar with a hint of the ale in the background. For dessert we took the donut holes to go, the colors dip was amazing, the chocolate looked like it was seized up a bit, we also ate this a little later so it could have been us and not from then. This looks like a super fun place to belly up at the bar, it has the hometown feel , we are already planning a stop on our drive back later this week!

Genuinely came with high hopes, the menu looked so good that I was planning on dining…read morehere lunch and dinner as I was visiting nearby farms/shops which recommended this... but lunch was horrible. Mainly attributable to SERVICE which was HORRIFYING!! Ambiance was charming home setting outdoors and rustic wood vibe indoors. The food was average/iffy. Garlic peppercorn steak was encrusted with a layer of seasoning and yet it wasn't that seasoned in terms of flavor, was just ok. Ordered medium and yet it looked black on the outside and medium rare inside and beyond tough - I could not even cut the steak, I ended up just ended eating the whole thing straight up. So strange and not worth $30 at all. The Idaho skins were good just wish the potatoes were crispier. The signature applewood smoked wings were so overpriced and terrible. I could not taste any flavor, it tasted like boiled wings expensive 6 for $18. The worst part: service, or rather lack thereof.!! Upon entering, we waited awhile for someone to come greet and seat us and seemed to judge us when we clarifying what tavern was when we were asked if we wanted tavern or dining room. We were seated and took a LONG time until finally our server came to take our order. Then took an even longer time to get our food almost 20minutes. The other table that got seated after us the order the same wings at the same time, got their food 10 minutes earlier than us and their server was present throughout the meal . Ours just was nowhere to be seen throughout the entire time. Finally the food came, we ate quick, and asked for the check. We couldn't even find our server to get the check! The other table has already gotten the check and signing the bill. We then got up and tried to flag down our waiter to for the check and takeout box and after a long time she gave them but disappeared again for a long time so we tried to flag her down, again, so we could actually pay. When we did, she rudely said "do you see the things im carrying? can you wait?" Mind you, we have been waiting for nearly another 20 minutes after we finished eating for any appearance from the waiter. We tried asking the other waiter who was actually present if we could but said we needed to get our actual server. We finally finished the whole transaction (20min waiting for food, 20min spent flagging down the waiter for the check/giving the money), and frustrated we wasted so much time here while on a trip for just OK food, we just left because the server then disappeared AGAIN after settling our bill. Hilariously enough, the only time she seemed to care about us was when we left and she went RUNNING after us to ask us "you did not tip enough, did I do something wrong?" in a rude and fake overly concerned way. After we briefly explained, she proceeds to loudly shame us saying "you supposed to tip me xyz because I provide you a service and if not you're really disrespectful". The audacity. Service was beyond horrible!!! and still demanding higher tips calling customers disrespectful when we did nothing but wait and get yelled at by her for not waiting even longer and still needing to directly pay her extra tips. During that scolding we got, we saw her name tag: Avery. Overall: Foods ok. LONG WAIT for food and check. Horrifying service by one server: Avery. Perhaps other servers were better like the one who took care of the table who sat down at the same time and left 20 minutes earlier meanwhile our service was way slower, not as friendly, demanding tips, and public scolds/shames customers for it. This experience totally soured my impression of this place and now I'm questioning why people even recommended this place to me and why I went along with it!

After being seated, we waited about 10 minutes before our server arrived--she was actually very pleasant--but unfortunately things didn't improve from there.

We ultimately decided to leave. To make matters worse, the server attending the table next to us had about as much warmth as a block of ice, which didn't help the overall atmosphere. Really unpleasant
