    I like MAW. The beer is good. Love the location but the bartender either hates customers or her job.

    I stopped in looking for lunch on my way home from Wisconsin. The inside is large with lots of…read moreseating-booths, tables, and bars. They also have a super nice outdoor patio. It's clean including the bathrooms. And the service was friendly and got me in and out without issue. They have several beers on tap. My first choice was an ipa but they were out off all of their IPA's on the day I went. I ordered a pineapple upside down cake sour that was gluten free instead. And I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't really sour but had a nice sweetness and it really tasted like pineapple upside down cake. I definitely recommend trying it. For lunch I went with The Candied Chick-ciabatta bun, grilled chicken, candied bacon, tomato, smoked Gouda, and ranch. They have several side options that don't have an up charge so I went with the chips and queso. The sandwich was delish and exactly what I was looking for. The chicken was actually grilled and you could tell that they actually cook the food and use real ingredients and food. The bacon was delicious and I loved the combo. I equally loved the chips and queso. The chips are also handmade. I saw someone with nacho and these chips would be killer in them because they definitely wouldn't be getting soggy. Highly recommend this sandwich and side. I loved this spot and I'm so happy that I stopped. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely stop in.

Wait times for food were well over an hour and there was a glitch the ordering system. My sister -in-law comes to this place often and even noted this was not common for the restaurant. Our server made adjustments to our bill and I made sure to give her a good tip even though the delay in getting our food was poor. The food itself was good and worthy of another visit. As I said, our server did a wonderful job but my wife had to ask 3 times over the hour plus wait to get answers about what was going on. My wife and daughters have worked front of house service so we can understand issues. As for the back of the house, it says to me that she a front of house server has to help expedite orders, there is a management and training issue that has to be resolved. Our server was apologetic and sincere and that says a lot for her abilities. As for the back of house and overall management, there needs to be improvement. Would I recommend this place? Yes but with a warning that while the food is good and the severs do well, one may end up waiting on their food.

Emily wanted to check out Five Cities based on their logo containing a dog and liking most of their beer offerings. We dropped in around 1pm to a mostly empty place as there was only one other table. The bartender was beyond friendly and helped us at every step of the way. We ordered our drinks at the bar and took them to a table where we could be alone. Emily started with the Bikini Bottom and I got the Here Kitty Kitty Kitty. Emily's drink came in a pineapple glass and was very strong on the pineapple flavor. Here Kitty Kitty Kitty was just about perfect for an IPA. We ordered a second drink with our food. I stuck with the Kitty and Emily switched to the Crush Tangerine. Next door is Central Standard Craft Burgers & Beer. As we were walking in, I jokingly said it would be funny if the food we order here came from next door. Sure enough, that is exactly what happens. Emily got The Standard Club with coleslaw, and I got the Fire & Smoke burger. I'd say within 10 minutes of our bartender taking our order (which we had to do at the bar), our food was in front of us in these neat little boxes. Once you crack the sticker, heaven is waiting for you inside. My burger came with lightly battered french fries. This style is my favorite, by far. Both Emily and I were in heaven eating our delicious food. From the first bite to the last fry was some of the best food I've had in months, maybe all year. Pair it with the beer and we didn't want to leave. I'd say I would like to try out Central Standard itself and see if the experience is the same there. All in all, we had a blast at Five Cities Brewing. I got a shirt and some (free at the time) stickers in their merch corner. Emily got a koozie and some stickers herself. The shirt I got was a medium and ended up running on the smaller/athletic side. If I can lose about 15 pounds, you'll get to see the fun shirt pop up in a future review as it has a funny saying on the back.

We sat inside at the high tables near the bar. I peaked at the back patio and lawn space which was amazing. I'll be back for that alone. The food we got was on point across the board. No one had anything left to take home which was because we got there starving and it was very good! My Mediterranean salad with chicken was solid, my son's Cesar salad was really good and my wife's southwestern salad with fried chicken was killer as well. My mother's avocado toast was on another level for such a dish. I was pleased to see a few solid branded house red and white wines at reasonable prices on the drink menu also. Endless beer options of course which the rest of the table took part in. A few fruited sour beer picks really pleased the table I recall. The only catch we did have was the wait from the time our drinks came until our orders got taken and then got served. A solid hour! Hard wait when you arrive hungry as is. Service was kind yet I admit that. Just slow on the food hitting the table. We will be back here again for sure and at just .6 miles walk from home, we could become regulars here easily.
