    I actually hate to give this 4 stars because the beer, food, and venue is 5+ stars. The service…read morehowever was abysmal. The child that was serving us did not tell us that the kitchen was closing at 7:30pm on a Thursday and we could not order any food past this time. We tried to order an additional round of food at 7:40 and were told we could not. Thankfully, at that time we asked how to order takeout beer and they told us we better hurriedly go up to the main counter since it was last call for takeout beer as well. When we went to order crowlers of the beer that was not available for takeout in cans, the "bartender" audibly sighed before telling us each one would take 5 minutes to complete. Again, beer was great, food was great - shoutout to the kitchen for the curry ketchup specifically - front of house is hurting your business.

    So this is our first time here, and I didn't like it at all. The food wasn't that good. The music…read morewas way too loud. My chicken was so overcooked that it was too hard to cut with a knife. The lady came over and she said she was gonna comp my meal. I told her she didn't have to do that because I did eat the spaghetti, or atleast my son ate the spaghetti, so she gave me twenty percent off or at least she said she did, on my receipt, It says fifteen percent off. $2.70 off. Yeah, I don't think we're coming back here. I should have took the full comp off the meal. I was trying to be fair but in the end, I feel it wasnt fair at all. There was a whole piece chicken that wasn't cuttable or chewable. I posted on my facebook and people replies that the food wasn't so good here. I'm actually shocked at my own experience. Because usually when a parking lot is always packed. It's a good sign.

    Generally good. Could be better. I stopped in for dinner and a beer after an event, and the…read moreexperience was completely reasonable but short of what I had hoped for. It's also worth noting that expecting a good pescatarian experience at a barbecue joint is more of a me problem. In terms of the space, it had a laid back feel. Not too fancy. Just a bar, with an outdoor patio out back. Lot's of wood surfaces. A good amount of space. It felt comfortable. In terms of the staff, they were generally very attentive. Not fine dining level, but about what you would expect at a neighborhood bar. They did the job and conversed with various customers. In terms of food, everything was fine. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos with a side salad. The side salad was fine. Fresh ingredients. Well presented. The tacos were clearly presented with care, but it felt like they need a little more flavor. Maybe more slaw or some hot sauce on the side. They felt a little meh, even if the presentation was nice. All told, this is a perfectly reasonable place to grab dinner and a beer. It's comfortable. It's open late.

    I ordered the baby back ribs and they were as tough as shoe leather and so salty I could barely…read morestand it They said they would make me another order so I gave him a second shot at it. Second order was just as bad. The mac & cheese was dry. There wasn't much cheese to go with the Mac. The cornbread also was very good We did get their three soft pretzel with cheese and mustard and that was very good. The service was good. The people were friendly. The ambience was cool. Place was clean smelled good. Everything was in proper order.

    I had the best time at this brew farm camping and just being at the restaurant!…read more - THE FOOD & DRINKS - We had three pizzas during our stay: the Margherita, Mexican corn and the farm pizza (peppers and sausage) I really loved the Margherita pizza because the tomato sauce was fresh and the cheese was so flavorful. The mexican corn is popular with the locals so I got it to try! And it didn't disappoint! The corn was sweet corn and paired with the white sauce was very tasty. This one is a lot more filling than the rest so I would definitely share it with more than 1-2 people! It's good to pair this with other pizzas. We paired this one with the farm pizza and that one had peppers like peperoncini with tasty sausage and that cut the creaminess of the corn pizza which was perfect and it had a tart sour taste that left me wanting more! It takes them about 20 minutes to make each pizza but it's so cool you can see them popping pizzas in a brick oven in the middle of nature. We had a beer flight and got to taste all of the beers and the one cider they had and I loved all of them! My favorite was definitely their TIPA because it was strong but the taste was fresh. - THE RESTAURANT/AMBIANCE - The area they were situated in was rolling hills of grass and felt very serene and calmed me down immediately. Lots of great people and you can bring your own dogs and I even saw someone bringing their own goats! Remember to bring a stake with a line for them to run around since they need to be leashed. Super dog friendly and welcoming. - CAMP EXPERIENCE - Ron was amazing and the courtesy of bringing our camping gear with a tractor to our campsite was a smooth process and he was such a cool guy to talk to! The campsite was really nice and tucked away from others and we had a picnic table and a fire pit. It started to rain and we saw lightning and thunder in the sky so we went to go to our car. They had the restaurant opened for safety so tons of campers went to the restaurant for cover and I think this place really is great for a camping site that has iffy weather conditions when you don't know if it will rain or shine because you'll always have a place to go (with beer!) There were tons of stars in the sky after the rain died down and we enjoyed our night at the campsite. The morning after we took a shower at the outdoor shower and that felt amazing. Even though it was right next to the donkeys it didn't smell like a farm. I think they clean it pretty well and it felt almost luxurious to be bathing outside with hot water. It had a soap bar but I would still bring your own, they don't come with a body wash or anything. They do have a mirror but it was quite foggy. It's about a 10 minute walk to the showers but a really nice one! I would definitely come back with more people since it's group and dog friendly! I had a blast!

    What a heavenly place to celebrate my 60th birthday with friends and family! We stayed in camping…read morespot #7. We were surprised we could not drive our cars in but the camp host, Ron kindly hauled our camping gear and food. He delivered us firewood and refilled our water jugs. He was personable, funny and willing to help with anything we needed. He provided his cell number so if we needed anything, he would he would be available. It was super secluded spot that was quiet and private. We had delicious burgers and pretzels at the brewery. The majority of our camping clan had stayed here a year ago and loved it! We will definitely be back! Thank Ron for being a fantastic camp host!
