    Amazing tacos and cute little place to gather some friends and have fun! For warmer months, they have an enclosed patio too!

    It's more of a bar but food is nice, it's open more earlier hours which help in a sleepy town of Lawrenceville

    The BEST part is the green salsa on the table which I heap on top my tacos!

    Popped in hungry and hot after walking around McCormick's Creek State Park…read more The space itself isn't especially appealing; the exterior is an unassuming brick building-we almost missed it-and the interior is fairly minimal as well. If you have a large crowd you might be challenged. But we weren't there to take in a scene and icy water was brought immediately after we seated ourselves. We were provided paper menus but also check out the digital versions! There were a couple of differences, one was only wording but did result in a side upgrade for one in our party. I got the standard burger and, with the server's recommendation, added bacon jam and aioli to make a smaller version of the double-pattied civilian burger. Delicious and right sized for me. The fries are a must. They're beer battered steak fries, crispy outside, soft and steamy inside. The pulled pork got positive reviews but looked messier than what I wanted to manage in that moment. The menu has a good variety, including a couple of vegetarian options. I was also very happy to find a rye beer with a more modest ABV as I like the spicy bitterness of rye beers but they tend to be more than I want after hiking around on a hot day. Service was great. Our server was familiar with the menu and super friendly. This spot is a great option after a hike in the area, especially if you're cringing at the thought of navigating the student crowd in Bloomington but still want a good meal and beer. Added bonus: fantastic prices.

    We stopped in on a Sunday looking for a Bloody Mary, unfortunately they only served about 5-8 craft…read morebeers. I tried the Pilsner they had on tap and it was decent, my wife got a sour that she really enjoyed. The brewery was clean and had a welcoming vibe. We sat at the bar too and the service was excellent! I ordered the Cuban to eat, I thought it was just ok, however the mustard seed brown mustard was very tasty! The Civilian burger with bacon jam was very flavorful!
