Their inside feels like a greenhouse with tons of glass walls around but they also have a large patio (some shaded, some not spots). On Saturdays, they do 1/2 price frozen drinks, $1 wings, and $17 buckets of booze. I tried the Frozen Espresso Martini which was the perfect patio sipper! My friends got the Redtide which was a bit tart for me but they loved it. For food, we got some shareables for the table: Elote, Mac & Cheese, Ancho Carrots, and Cornbread. All the sides were amazing but the standouts were the elote and carrots. For meals, everyone got a mixture of Sandwiches and Golden Boy Plates. The Pig & Bull Sandwich was tender, packed with flavor, and loved the sweet slaw paired with it. Even on the plates, the meat was all juicy and tender. I absolutely loved the vibe of this spot and cannot wait for more warm weather to come back! Be sure to check out their weekly specials for extra deals!

The food overall was delicious, however, there were a few drawbacks. The pulled chicken did have a bone in it, and the cornbread on the platter was laughably small. I wouldn't bother putting it on the menu personally. Everyone seemed to enjoy their drink selection, all in all, a good visit.

Hopefully the employees there will find gainful employment somewhere else . - - - - - - - - They did have good food, and service was usually pretty attentive as no customers were ever in there. Too bad they couldn't implement a BYOB policy, as there is a take out beer place right around the corner. The several times my family and I had been in there we had a good experience. I was particularly fond of the burger with kimchi on top, their pizza was lack luster though.

The service from the restaurant was very quick I'm not holding this against the restaurant a GrubHub really screwed that up. I was staying in a hotel and the GrubHub delivery person who I tipped 25% decided just to leave my food in the lobby and not even text me. I can't say anything about the ambience because that is not applicable for this

Stopped in to try their beer and to watch some World Cup matches. Was impressed with service at the…read morebar even late (no food service), and loved the beers. Tried a mixed flight of IPA, Pale Ale, Sour, and a Stout - all were good and unique in the genre. My absolute favorite was a full pour of the King Balaton, sour cherry with a jammy and complex taste. Balaton is a Hungarian cherry, and I once had a great wine by a Michigan wine maker with the same, so I'm gonna say the Balaton cherry should be a Midwest tradition. There were plenty of TVs showing the World Cup matches, so I could keep up with the action. I look forward to more visits, and to try their extensive beer and food menu.

I was surprised to learn that they had a gluten-free bun for me to have with their grilled chicken sandwich. The bun did not fall apart like a typical gluten-free bread sometimes does. The sandwich also had avocado and bacon on it. The coleslaw was very good. The waitress was great. Good service and happy to help me with my gluten-free options. My husband had the spinach strawberry salad, which he really enjoyed. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there was a pretty good crowd there. The noise level was not bad at all. There were several families there with children and it looked like they had kids meals available although I did not look on the menu.

While we were drinking beer and catching up, one of my friends ordered a couple of the appetizer platters and some wings. Everything on there tasted fresh and delicious. The server was extremely nice and did a great job.

Certainly it's not what's considered a "cool" bar. It is if you think a few grumpy old white men complaining and drinking is something cool. That aside, the drinks are pretty good here. It's not extremely expensive like at some hipper ass bars. The good hard stuff is about $9 or so. Also has food. The only thing not greasy or meaty are the Chips And Salsa. It's $4 for a handful. The rest of the menu is stuff like wings and other typical bar fare that's more of an afterthought really. Hard to find. It's in a plaza off York Street. There's a few locals just complaining about crap but this is also good for sports watching.

It's great that restaurants are coming up with options for folks with food restrictions. We also had seasonal mango shake and really liked it.

As picky as I am about pizza, I am even fussier about burgers, particularly at today's prices…read more Thus, I put off visiting Shake Shack for quite a while, dismissing it as just another overpriced, upscale fast food outlet. It's not. The difference in quality was evident immediately in the preparation, taste and presentation of the food, which is simple, but delicious, right down to their unique signature sauce. And while $20+ for a single, fries and large iced tea might sound a little steep, it was worth every penny, especially since there was a $5 off welcome gift waiting for me in their app. Yum!

Figured I couldn't go wrong with the classics, right? They told me they had no chocolate ice cream; could they use vanilla with Hershey's syrup? Sure! After about a 2 minute wait, the food was READY. And man- the burger was BIG. Had their 'mix' of mayo, ketchup and relish along with nicely shredded lettuce- sweet! Loved that burger. The shake? Well, it needed more Hershey's syrup, but I love me a malted shake -and it fit the bill! Will I come again? Sure. But damn. Better be warmer first. Too cold to order outside again in the winter!
