I did take a brisket sandwich to go and was eating it during a baseball game and I overheard a fellow spectator comment to their partner how good my sandwich smelled. Beef burnt ends are perfection! I also got some pulled pork and what I appreciated is that there weren't huge pieces of fat clinging to the meat. The portions consisted of high quality meat, and their bbq sauce is pretty simple and basic for KC sweetness. They also offer a spicy version which is what I prefer. Bar and dining area have a great vibe and I've experienced nothing but good service. Downtown Liberty is so lucky to have this gem. I will be back!!

They do not allow you to order food and bring it to their large deck, not even if you get it togo. Which was very disappointing as we had a group of 6 and were planning to spend the afternoon there. We moved to the main building patio to eat. Our server did not enjoy her job. When we asked for napkins after our food arrived, she loudly said "you guys are being high maintenance". Just unnecessary, and she had attitude quite a few times. Our tickets had an auto gratuity added of 20%, she tried to hide this by giving us tickets that were not itemized, until someone asked for it to be itemized and some of us had already added an additional tip. I guess when you know you're getting a tip you don't need to be friendly or attentive.

When they brought the food after not checking on how we liked the wine we asked if we could have something else. It turns out the wine we were served wasn't even what we ordered. We asked to switch to red since the whites were overly sweet. The red was drinkable but not good. We aren't from the area and definitely felt like we were treated that way. The pizza was ok but the nachos we ordered were terrible.

Also came here on a Saturday night in October, with a packed house, an underground haunted speakeasy and merriment in the air, also aided by some delicious in house brews.

It doesn't hurt that the servers are super friendly, seating is plentiful (maybe not the most comfortable chairs) and there are pinball machines.

I didn't even know this existed! It is an actual brewery on Independence Square. Their menu (mostly…read moredifferent beers and a few drinks) is small. But I loved the friendly service and the space itself. It's wonderful for a band-which was why I was there. There's a hallway of art work, with an art studio. Down the hall from there is a window with the adjacent restaurant selling a large variety of flat breads. Again, more artwork. Then you see the barrels and the quaintly decorated bathroom doors. Really, it's worth it to see. I really like 3 Trails Brewery and will return.

If you like craft beer, give this place a try! River Bluff Brewing is a pretty great place for the…read moreStJ community to have. I don't patronize this place all that often, once every 1-2 months or so. I appreciate that they usually have at least one beer that I haven't tried before added to the tap list rotation, so they're still willing to experiment and come up with new brews. Bartenders are usually pretty attentive, friendly, personable, and are willing to give you samples to try if you aren't sure which beer to try. Also, the venue is pretty neat, as it's a renovated building in downtown Saint Jo, and they've kept pretty true to its industrial roots with exposed brick, high ceilings, and sealed concert floors. It doesn't hurt that they have an entire side of the building with great big windows to let in natural light. I have two criticisms - 1) it needs a bigger outdoor space. The deck out back is nice but it doesn't have much space to avoid the smokers. 2) I'm a huge fan of sour beers, and RB's brewmasters just haven't put out much in this genre. If they had more of these, I'd probably stop in more often.

The holy trinity or mind, body, spirit connection! We stumbled upon the brewery by stopping by the Lota Bait store, which is also fun, and noticed their name listed. All we had to do was walk behind and sitting on a nice piece of land with shade trees, picnic tables, lots of chairs, fire pit and a stage for music was heaven. There's a pick up window for your beverage orders or you can go inside for their home brew, seltzers and cocktails made with Tom's Town Distilling spirits. That morning they were making homemade waffles, plain or with bananas and walnuts, one of each please, and their utensils came wrapped and are compostable. Can't wait to spend an evening there after having fun on Lake Lotawana or if you live close enough you're lucky. This place is sweet!
