    Caprese sandwich on sourdough.

    Stopped In for lunch with friends. We thought the food was great and the staff was welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back.

    Large half-cheese, half-pepperoni pizza
    Erin D.

    I decided to check out this spot after seeing it featured on TikTok, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I ordered a large half-cheese, half-pepperoni pizza--perfectly cooked with a great balance of flavor--and an Italian sandwich that was equally impressive. Both exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be returning and won't hesitate to recommend this place to friends and family.

    I was visiting the area and like to support local businesses. The young woman that waited on me was very pleasant and completed my order quickly. My pizza was delicious and arrived in a timely manner. They didn't disappoint.

    Meatball Parm Pizza
    Mike R.

    Finally went here this weekend (Friday and Saturday) We got a meatball parm and Hawaiian pizza and an order of hand cut frites Friday night. Pizza is excellent, the sauce is sweet and the meatballs are phenomenal. Homemade and very well done. The fries were a pleasant surprise, hand cut shoestring! Def recommend. Saturday we tried the the n.e clam chowder and tomato bisque both were great with the left overs from the night before. Look forward to go back when we can sit down and eat there. ( the workers couldn't have been nicer when I was in there Friday)

    This is a small eatery (I counted max 39 seats between tables and the bar) with difficult parking…read more I was able to get a spot right in front b because I went to lunch, but the parking lot has signs saying it is for employees of the wood shop next door, and no trespassing in the lot across the street, so I think street parking is the only option? Service is great, very attentive and friendly. The food is what earns this three stars. I tried a stuffie, German onion soup, a Farmhouse burger, and a key lime Mason jar. The stuffie was a little small, and most of the flavor was imparted by the ham and the squeeze of lemon. The German onion soup, I'm not sure why it was German except to not be French? Outside the name difference, the onions were way too large, and there was a total lack of flavor going on in the soup. The crock was very large too. The burger and fries looked pretty good, and I enjoyed the flavors here. The fries were rough hewn, so there was good crispness from all the edges. The toppings of the burger, and the bun, were also hearty. Unfortunately, my medium rare burger was more like raw meat with surface browning. I'm a big fan of rare steak, but ground beef needs a little more cooking. Also, the house made ketchup is really more of a marinara sauce. If I'd ended up eating more of my plate before they took it away to re-fire the burger, I would have asked to replace the ketchup. The key lime Mason jar was e everything you want to wrap up a meal. Great flavor, lightness, citrus. I did have to bring most of it home but, unlike the burger they brought back in a box, I'm excited to get back into the key lime. From an accessibility stand point, there is no ramp to get in nor handicap parking, so the evidently don't want your business. Once you're in, there are some seats you could get in, but if this place were full it would be difficult to navigate for anyone. The bathroom is a single room, but very spacious and nice. So, mixed bag for access. Your mileage may vary, but I'm not racing to return.

The bench seating was very comfortable, though some of the tabletops were pretty tall and all wood, so maybe not the easiest to sit at for a while. The restaurant has an extensive menu, but when I saw the pitmaster section I knew I had to try some of that. As an appetizer there were potato skins with pulled pork. Wow, these are not the wizened, come from a frozen box, potato skins. These were large, brimming with flavor and cheese. From the pit was brisket and ribs. Each came with corn bread, one with fries, the other with mac and cheese. Corn bread, so good, nice grainy texture, not a baked sugar slurry like you can find elsewhere, up here in the north. The brisket is super tender, doesn't need much sauce because it's packing all that natural and smoke flavor. The ribs are not dainty. You're going to be getting in here with your hands, like proper ribs eating. I'm so unused to that, and it resulted in me bringing half the rack home because a half rack was so filling. The edges of the ribs were dry, but all the interior was pull apart tender and delectable. Again, only needing a touch of their homemade sauce. The fries were robust but still crispy and seasoned well. The mac was the only miss for me. Too toothsome and not much flavor. Because they also do wood fired pizza, I got a cheese with ricotta to go. I'm not sure I ever need their pizza again. The crust was thin but not very crispy except on the cornicione, which had a lot of herbs sprinkled on it. The sauce disappeared, flavor wise, and so did the cheese blend. Side notes - I know everything has gotten crazy expensive, but the prices here took me aback. $16 for three pieces of bacon? Also, the 10% military discount was only applied to my ribs, but nothing else, so I'm happy they have one but it may only be applied to your food and non alcoholic drinks on Tuesdays and Fridays during their specific windows.

With good reviews and a cool menu we dropped in and couldn't have been happier! We were pretty lucky as it was not that busy and we were able to get a table right away. The decor is eclectic and interesting. The staff came with a great smile and even better attitude; absolutely top notch! We started w the pretzels and beer cheese. Holy 6 pound baby Jesus they were good. They came out piping hot and the cheese was in a bubbling side dish. This isn't your typical dab of cheese in a plastic condiment container that is commonplace nowadays. I had the Arturo Sandoval (spin on a Cuban) as my entree and it was also fabulous and came out hot. If I was being critical, the pork was a wee bit dry, but that happens sometimes and it really didn't take away from the sando. Even the small side of pasta salad was outstanding. I'm lucky if I eat sides like that 1/100 times and this one I couldn't wait to finish. Great vibe, great staff, great food, and live music almost every day. Definitely gonna go back and if it's just as good will update to 5 stars.

I was here at lunch time on Tuesday, so it wasn't busy, but it is a very spacious interior with a number of distinct sections, so you could easily come here for the bar area or a nice meal out. I had the daily special appetizer: poutine. Additionally I got a rib eye done Montreal style. The poutine was great, though pretty large for an appetizer. This could have been a meal all on its own. Nice crispy pub fries, melted cheese, and brown gravy, all flavorful but not too salty. I did put a good amount of it in a to-go box because I would have had no room for lunch if I'd finished it. The rib eye came with asparagus and fries (for some reason you can't get mashed potatoes until after 4pm?), and oh man can I see why they've won awards for this. With the Montreal seasonings and blue cheese butter, there was no lack of flavor, and this steak was cooked nicely medium rare. Such a tender piece of meat, it went right down and I was so happy to find a place doing steak proud. I was all set to give this place five stars, but then I went to the bathroom and thought it was straight out of a cubist painting. Weird angles, tight space. As a tall person I had trouble, and from an accessibility stand point it was a nightmare. All in all, based on the food I had, I'd send anyone here. I'll be back myself.
