Not the place for me…read more.. I would guess this is a good place if you are someone from the neighborhood or a regular but it was not friendly and the service was bad. The food was OK, but i expected some English pub type food, but it was just the same type of sandwichs prepared differently. The service was bad. I ordered my food and had pay for it right there just like at a Burger King. They dropped the food on the table and left. Nobody ever checked back to see if it was made correctly or if I needed anything. So many other places with better service and food - definitely a hard pass on a return visit...

It was a slower afternoon and the service staff was very welcoming and friendly. We sat at the bar and Heather welcome does immediately with a couple of cold beers. She recommended a few items on the menu. My wife went with her burger selection and I went with her choice of an open face roast beef sandwich With mashed potatoes and gravy. We both tried each other's food and it was delicious. The draft prices were a little high, but it was cold beer. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other food items and enjoy more of the atmosphere which had pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, golden tee golf, and a few other games. They also had some little "nooks" where you can enjoy a room with your friends away from everyone

I'd spotted their food on Yelp and decided to order a couple of burgers online for takeout. When I walked in, it had that classic college dive bar feel--only a handful of patrons, all probably in their 60s, which made it clear the college year hadn't started yet. I imagine the atmosphere is completely different when the students are back. I ordered a whiskey while I waited. The bartender mentioned they just switched to a new online ordering system that's a bit clunky since receipts only list confirmation numbers, not names. The burgers were a pleasant surprise--served on thick, buttery toasted Texas toast, cooked to a juicy medium, and packed with flavor. Simple, classic, and exactly what I was craving after a day of moving. The white mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and the perfect comfort side.

Both things had no flavor though. Even with an herb butter, there was no flavor. Disappointing. The mac n cheese was the weirdest I have ever seen and my husband tasted it and then would not eat it. He said it was nasty. The cheese fries were ok. They usually come with a cheese sauce, but we asked for melted shredded cheese instead. They forgot to put the bacon on them. They were ok. My husband said his chicken teriyaki bowl was really good and it was huge. I think they probably do some things really well and some need some work. If I lived nearby I would eat here again to try other things.

Ambiance is more restaurant feel than brewery, although there is a wide selection of brews available. She order a lemondrop. Nice job, but you get a lemondrop pretty much the same no matter where you go. Beer is very good here. I did not have one I did not enjoy. I need to return some time and try some of their food menu items.

Abridged Beer Company - A Standout Culinary Surprise…read more As a former restaurant owner and a lifelong foodie, I've learned to keep my expectations high and my praise rare. Abridged, however, earned every bit of this five‑star review. My husband and I are devoted food lovers, though as a sober couple, breweries aren't usually our first choice. Still, the buzz around Abridged was impossible to ignore, and I'm glad we listened. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place has a loyal following--it's loud, lively, and often packed. If you prefer a more manageable noise level, do yourself a favor and book a reservation in the dining wing. It's still energetic, but you can actually hear the person across from you. The service team deserves real credit. They move with purpose, know the menu, and never leave you waiting. Even better, Abridged offers multiple mocktails and non‑alcoholic beers--something many breweries overlook entirely. It's refreshing to feel included rather than accommodated. Now, the food. This is where Abridged truly shines. We were so impressed on our first visit that we returned the very next week. Visit One: - Pot Roast Nachos - Signature Burger - NA Beer The nachos alone could convert anyone into a regular--rich, hearty, and unexpectedly refined. The burger was equally impressive, balanced and beautifully executed. Visit Two: - Pot Roast Nachos (again, because how could we not) - Meatball Pizza - Mocktail + NA Beer The consistency was remarkable. Those nachos were just as spectacular the second time, and the pizza was a standout in its own right--comforting, flavorful, and clearly crafted with intention. Abridged has quickly become one of our favorite new spots, and we're already planning our next visit. There's so much more on the menu calling our names, and if our first two experiences are any indication, we're in for a treat. A must‑try for anyone who loves great food--whether you drink or not.
