There is indoor seating, outdoor seating, and bar seating. I also noticed they had corn hole setup outside next to the outdoor tables. Fun! I came for the whipped feta and they were out. I guess I will have to go back. Our server was so friendly, beautiful smile, and quick with drinks and refills. We ended up going with the sampler as our starter. 10/10 on this! Absolutely phenomenal! Our table of 5 shared this and it was the perfect amount. Brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and chicken for the meats. I tried the brisket and chicken. Both were so juicy, tender, and flavorful. The rest of my group also loved the jalapeño sausage and pulled pork. The platter also came with a piece of bread, mac and cheese, and Cole slaw. Everyone loved the mac and cheese. The Cole slaw was a vinegar based slaw and was good, but I prefer creamy Cole slaw. Just a personal preference. I had an Aperol spritz and it was delicious. Nice and refreshing! For my main, I did the steak. It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. It also came with a huge dollop of herby garlicky butter. So good! Everything was seasoned, hot, and delicious. We did three desserts. The skillet cookie, the chocolate egg, and the caramel apple pie. The chocolate egg was rich and decadent. It came with a marmalade on the side and it was really good to dip the chocolate egg in. The skillet cookie tasted like it was a brown butter cookie and it had a nice light salted taste to it. I did not try the pie. Our experience was top notch from start to finish. Kudos to our server. (I didn't catch her name) Also, to Kaitlyn and AJ at the bar. ;)

The food was equally disappointing. The cheese on our grilled cheese wasn't even melted, and the Reuben sandwich came without Thousand Island dressing--we had to ask for it. The staff were unfriendly and left dirty plates on our table, leaving us with no room for our own food. We had high hopes for this place, but it was a huge letdown. We left with a headache.

After attempting to flag our bartender down we finally got a response from another person in the bar who was able to bring us one single menu for 3 people.

This bar seems to only cater to locals. I truly had high hopes when I walked in. If your from out of town just go to Applebees your better off.

Brewery #266 Third…read moreLife Brewing is a true microbrewery: a small brewery doing good craft beer with no food and no frills. Third Life is located in the former office of an old warehouse that I believe was an old Iron Ore company ( if memory serves me right). The brewery even has the old safe still in wall. I got my usual flight that consisted of Cat Jammin'-Raspberry (Raspberry Wheat), Tomtoberfest (Marzen), S.S. Dankowiak (DIPA) and the Duke of Witch Tree (Hazy IPA). All of them were really good but the S.S. Dankowiak was the star of my flight board. Cool atmosphere with lots of table and board games. Good music playing and a cool brewery sticker.

The indoor/ outdoor space blends together in the warmer months with cool hangout spaces and game areas. This place is truly a work of art. Drink lists abound, but because it was lunchtime we stuck to food. We were not disappointed. Everything was well conceived and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the bone bread next time, stew and scrumptious sounding salads. Today we had the kids smash burger, Brussels burger with frites and fried haddock and frites with a delicious coleslaw. The best part? Different sauces to choose to dip the fries in. The curry ketchup was the best (special shout out for *actually* cooking the curry into the ketchup) as it did not taste of raw curry. They definitely don't cut corners here. We noticed, and we appreciated it. We will be back.

Yes, they have a small parking lot, and don't fret if you have the park on the street like we did, as we were seating promptly and it didn't feel too crowded. Since we were seated at high tops near the bar, the bar tender was our waitress, and she is literally the nicest, good energy, engaging human ever! She also whips up the custom, creative mimosa recipes, kudos to her for her awesomeness! I ordered the Shakshuka, flavorful, delicious, would order again. Even as a non-vegan, it was satisfying and would recommend to everyone. Husband had the 1964 Worlds Fair Waffle, and it was tiny. Not what you envision when you think of Belgian waffles. He also ordered the Belgian Forest Bacon, again VERY small portion, so much so that at the end of the meal, he had to order a side of the Smashed Maple Sausage. Both our drinks (I had the mimosa) were fantastic and worth ordering, loved the glassware! Aside from the small portions of waffle, bacon, and sausage, the cheerful vibes here are contagious, and I'd dine here again in a heartbeat!

The service was great and the food and coffee drinks came out quick. For drinks I had a banana bread latte and he ordered a mocha with an extra shot. Both were delicious! We ordered 3 different entrees to share - I might not have the names right, so please bear with me if you try to find them on the menu and you can't find the exact same thing. Started off strong with the breakfast burrito. It was so good! I don't know if it had a cheese sauce or just melted American cheese, but it was a good balance of cheese, hash browns, eggs and sausage. The munchwrap was awesome with chorizo sausage, hash browns, a tostada for crunch and cheese all grilled up in a flour tortilla. Last and our least liked was the Cheddar Bay Biscuit bowl. I like the concept, but the execution was poor. The biscuit had been microwaved damn near to death. It was hard to cut through with a knife. The consistency was somehow soggy and hard while also chewy. Add to that the saltiest sausage gravy ever. We each ate one bite, said no thank you and tossed it. Everything else was so good, this might just be a bad one off, but I don't think I could be convinced to try it again. I don't think food is served all day, so if you are hungry, get there before 2pm (I think).

I asked the bartender (I wish I would have got his name) if they had any options for me given those 3 things, and he came up with a DELICIOUS sugar free iced coffee option that was so good that one of the friends who had been drinking all night decided she wanted one to go along with her beer. It's sometimes hard as the DD to find a place with any variety and I was so happy to have a place make me a priority too. After all, your DDs are getting those drinkers safely to and from your establishment to bring in those big bucks - so you should give them a little thank you by treating them nicely as well. Thanks Rake Beer Project, for going above and beyond.
