My mom and I stopped here one Friday night for a quick cocktail and we were both equally impressed. They had a large selection of brews (EVEN SHOCK TOP), spirits and munchies.

I can't wait to gather the fam and head back for round two!

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.

We came in around 5:30 on a Friday and had no wait at all. Our server was excellent! They were very quick, attentive, and genuinely kind. Service was definitely the highlight. Food was more hit-or-miss. I had the Prime Rib Cheesesteak sandwich and it was just okay. The bread was pretty underwhelming, toppings were light, and there was barely any prime rib in there. The jalapeño cream cheese ended up being the saving grace flavor-wise. The fresh fruit on the side was disappointing too because they were tiny pieces and all kind of wilted. Overall, it's a nice place with great service and a fun interior, but the food didn't quite live up to the rest.

Since my wife is five months pregnant and constantly hungry, we decided to stop by Charlie's Cafe, also in Freeport. As soon as we arrived, we were quickly seated in a booth and placed our orders. I went for the three-meat omelette, which included three eggs, hashbrowns, and toast. My wife opted for a Denver omelette, skipping the mushrooms, along with a side of French toast. It was your classic diner breakfast--thankfully, we didn't find any hair, nails, or Band-Aids in our food! The hashbrowns were a standout for me; they tasted freshly made rather than frozen. We also got regular coffee, which was just okay. The service was satisfactory--our server was around but not particularly engaging, which was alright. I can definitely see us stopping by again for lunch after this delicious breakfast!
