Seen this place a lot, but just saw it as a bar, so I never stepped in. Met my friends there at the suggestion of one of my friend's that I met. I was pleasantly surprised with the food there. Has the char siu chicken Katsu- very good Kalua nachos- very good Fried noodles- very good (chewy noodles how O like it) Kal bi- very good Needless to say, I've been back again and again! A must try! No need drink, just enjoy good food! read more

Second and last time coming to this location. We overlooked our first visit when my wife was done eating and I still hadn't gotten my food yet. It was the weekend and busy. But our second time was a mellow Wednesday for lunch and while the timing was better (still not synced), the food was either meh or completely shameful. Yes, shameful! Wife got the Caesar salad with char siu chicken katsu. The chicken was ono but the salad was lazy. Basic greens with a low-quality bottled sauce squeezed on top. No wonder it came out five minutes before mine. I got the fish tacos with tots (extra $2), and this dish was the most egregious rip off I've ever seen in a restaurant. No wonder the server dropped it and ran. For $18, I got three street taco-sized flour tortillas, goopy mayo-laden "slaw", and pico with a teeny tiny piece of fish on top. See the pics! Smaller than my thumb. Barely two tater tots in size. And because it was plopped into mayo slaw, it was soggy on arrival. The fish was also suspiciously fishy tasting. I debated eating it. I ended up making one taco with all the fish and a potato taco with some tots before finally giving up. I know things are tough for restaurants right now. But this was ridiculous. I paid and left and called it a lesson learned. I'll likely stick to the Pucks Alley location from now on. Still some pride in what they serve there. read more

You order on your phone. Waitress does not provide any service other than just dropping off the order you place online. The whole table sits down and has to stare at their phones putting credit card info into their system to try and order a beer. I'm not there to look at my phone, I'm there to be actively engaged with my friends/family. Then they have the nerve to make 20% the default tip? The waitress did not check on us, I had to fetch my own condiments, and order my food through a website. There was not any personal service whatsoever. As far as value, beers were $8 a pop for a normal glass. A local style 12oz beer was $10! I am shocked at prices, lack of service, and yet crowded. Can we not expect better? read more

Alright, this may seem harsh but it's gotta be done. Two Stars based entirely on the burger, because it was that bad. Context: Lunchtime stop in Pearlridge. Place was not very busy. Place is called Beer Lab, so must comment on the beer. Got a tiny beer, Hazy IPA, which was tasty. Food: Giant Pretzel App- Good Pretzel. Good cheese. $1.50 for tiny cup of mustard was annoying. Burgers: Son and I ordered the same thing- single smash burger. He got his plain, just meat and cheese. I got everything that came on it. His was fine. Mine was not. First, bun to meat ratio was outrageously bad. Smashburgers are supposed to be thin, so you gotta use a smaller bun. Double probably would have been a better call, but in this case it would have just doubled the really unpleasant taste. The whole thing was burned. The bun was burned, the burger was burned, the caramelized onions were burned. This may just have been the burned taste, but it also tasted dirty, like it came off of a nasty grill. And, yes I ate it anyway. I dont send back food. I take pictures of it half eaten and tell random strangers on the internet how bad it tasted. Service was good, beer was good, pretzel was good. Burger was so abysmally bad that I cant ever see going back here. You can clearly see looking at the bun that its burned, and they sent it out anyway. That speaks volumes about how a restaurant is run. read more

The Hall is the perfect place for a pau hana! There's plenty of parking and there's good food! My friends and I decided to visit for an after work pau hana. We had a large group and so I wanted to make a reservation ahead of time. Because it was somewhat of an event, I was able to coordinate few weeks prior. The staff was so helpful and friendly. When we arrived, our table was ready and we quickly got seated. They have a huge menu of pupus to choose from as well beers and mixed drinks. What I liked about the hall was the ability to order individually. All you have to do was scan a QR code and everybody could take care of their own tab. The serving sizes are huge so I highly recommend if going with a group of people ordering a handful of things and sharing amongst each other. read more

Late night chill... Not sure how we got here but my work bestie and I needed a place to sit and relax and found ourselves here at The Hall by Beer Lab HI as it's located right in Pearlridge Shopping Center near TJ Maxx where parking can be challenging though is free making just a first world issue at times. As we walked in it was quite busy but we were lucky to grab a little hightop table and grabbed a couple of beers and as we decided to start ordering as ever item on the menu sounded good we ordered Grilled Kimchee Ham Sando which was a yummy bite and Kim Chee Fried Rice was just as good along with loaded fries which they forgot and when we got it it was cold and sad but to apologize the staff offered us a free round of beer which I passed as I was driving but my friend took the opportunity to try the other option she was thinking of and enjoyed it. Since it's part of the mall once it's closed so is the door connecting to it so you leave at the other entrance but they do have their own restroom which very nice and convenient so that you can relax and enjoy and cheers. Thank you! read more

The Hall by Beer Lab is the spot for good vibes, great food and creative drinks. Once seated you can scan the QR code to place your order. They give you the option to pay individually or as a group. Located in Uptown Pearl Ridge, Beer Lab can get pretty busy at night and especially on the weekends so plan accordingly because the food does take a little longer to arrive. We ordered the Fried Chicken Skin, Kalua Pork Nachos and Sushi Bake. Great portions perfect for sharing with a group. They have a wide selection of original beers and mixed drinks that go well with the food. Can't wait to try more things on their menu! read more

One of my favorite breweries, especially on the west. I love the Christmas decor too! Keep an eye out for special events. My sister and I attended a "Sip, Savor, & Celebrate" event last night with dessert and beer pairings. Everything was good. My favorite beer is still their red ale. My favorite cocktail is their berry guri guri. We also ordered an ume based beer, which was great! I love the service. You can call to reserve a table or just walk-in. Most times I just walk-in. Servers are always so nice and pleasant. Parking is extremely easy but a bit difficulty during the holiday season. I still highly recommend this place! read more

This spot is always a go-to with coworkers or colleagues after work. The food is great tasting, prices are reasonable and they offer beer sizes in different options so you can safely try more than one type. Their beer selection is pretty extensive and unique! Definitely better to go in a group and do family style for food so you can try a bunch of their great dishes. I've been here multiple times and 9/10 times we are seated right away. They have a variety of seating available. Including long runner tables with bench seating available for larger parties. As well as smaller tables for smaller parties. Both regular chair table seatings and bar stool table seatings. The staff are always nice, welcoming and patient. The food and drinks come out fairly fast compared in my experience to other restaurants. This location is at pearlridge mall so there is plenty of parking. They have an entrance door that faces the outside of the mall building and they also have their own "in store" bathroom which is nice. Highly recommend! read more

Lunch review food only! Tried the smoked meat fries, chicken wings, local style fried rice. Everything was tasty and the size was great for sharing! The fries were thin and crispy, the smoked meat was smokey and kinda sweet from the bbq sauce, it had a nice crunch from the sautéed onions. Can't go wrong with the chicken wings! The batter was thin, light, crispy and chicken tender. The local style fried rice was moist and had bacon and crispy pork belly, topped with a scrambled egg. read more

The Pearlridge location is primed for maximum enjoyment of locally brewed beer and locally sourced and created cuisine. With a large selection of beer and even larger menu is a great place to relax and wait if your other half is busy shopping! The beer is cold and quite tasty made from local fruits and flavors; the food just as unique. Unfortunately, unlike the "rustic" location in Beretania, there is no poke available. Not a problem because the other food options make up for it. With plenty of parking and tables, as a previous review noted, a great location for "pau hana read more

This spot is in the mall! Plenty of parking around. A bit of a hidden beer tasting gem. The atmosphere is interesting since it's inside the mall, but it was quiet and there was decent lighting. There are beer tastings of 4 oz or 12 oz each. We tried the fried rice, burger, and beer cheese pretzel, and some meat fries. The beer cheese wasn't real beer cheese, but the pretzel was warm! The fried rice was classic Hawaiian style. And the burgers were a decent medium rare average burger. Fries were crisp and nice. read more

The loco moco was not very good. Gravy tasted like brown packaged gravy. Expensive. At least the hamburger patty was okay

Many choices of beer and overall a cool place to cool your jets. A great selection. The people working here are cool as well.

Recently met up with some old friends here. As usual, they did not disappoint! First and foremost the staff was amazing and service was great! Genesis was awesome and constantly checked on us to make sure we were doing good and if we needed anything. The restaurant has a very welcoming positive vibe. Food is always good. We shared crispy pork, Kalua pig nachos, onion rings, fried noodles, smash burgers and the cheese burger and it was all excellent! The Oxtail soup was good too! We tried a variety of IPA's and hops. My favorite was the Palaka Unfortunately they ran out of desserts so I settled for the rainbow slushy drink. So yummy. Everyone was thoroughly pleased with their food and drink and agreed that we'd be back for our next get together! Thank you to the team at The Hall! read more

I am not one that likes to drink or any beer connoisseur, in fact I don't care for beer at all -- though they have some interesting flavors. I love coming here! The food and service is what has me coming back, It's easy to reserve a table online ahead of time. When people want to hangout to catch up over a meal I'm usually quick to say let's go here. Their menu changes time to time but I'm sure you'd find something that suits each person. The best thing is that everything comes out family style, big plates of food shared amongst the smaller plates for each person to pick and try out everything you ordered. If you're lucky enough to see the tiramisu on the menu I'd definitely try that. Also, it was way bigger than we thought but no complaints here since it was delicious! A new thing I noticed as well was that you can order and pay your tab on your phone by scanning the QR code on the table you're seated at. Very convenient as this place tends to get pretty busy. read more

Server was excellent. He was attentive and very thoughtful. Food, however, is over priced. Go for after-dinner drinks, not to eat.

My happy place. Sometimes I like to sit quietly and have a brew. Their unique selection of beers are worth coming back again and again. It's a long list and working from the top to bottom requires several trips. Their fries are great. Hot and crunchy. The wings are also great. This place is great! read more

First time coming here, and we had the falafel salad and the Hall burger with onion rings, plus a lilikoi cream soda. Servers were super polite, friendly and respectful. The ambiance is classic sports bar/pub, with actual barrels holding up their high tops. The barrels are admittedly a little wide so getting your legs under the table is,...a strech...lol. The lilikoi cream soda was refreshing and tasty. Not too sweet and a light creaminess to it. The edamame falafel salad was very tasty and we enjoyed their spin in pickled veggies (a namasu like take on pickles). The tzaziki had a nice romesco sauce to mimick harissa, but it was a touch over seasoned (salt). Eaten all together it was a good dish. The Hall burger was done to a nice medium and the sauce and toppings were great. The onion rings were slightly over, making them too crunchy for my liking. Maybe a nice ranch sauce might have helped soften the crunch. Overall a good experience and well be sure to check out their other 2 locations soon. Support local! read more

Finally got to try this place. Anywhere with a recommendation from friends that there is good food and bonus of mobile ordering is worth a try! I made my online order but forgot to submit it and the food was still ready in about 15 minutes which I was thrilled about because we were starving after errands. We got the burger and onion rings, loaded fries, and loco moco. Burger was good, tasty, had a nice sauce, and burger bun was nicely toasted. Onion rings were crispy. Loaded fries were perfect! Crunchy, not overly salted, and had yummy toppings (garlic butter, truffle oil, and pecorino cheese). The loco moco was just okay. Gravy (brown) was not very flavorful and it was pretty plain without additional textures and flavors from mushrooms or onions. I probably wouldn't get the loco moco again but would definitely be back!!! Probably a good spot for game day or pau hana!! read more

I have been here once before and was excited to go back again. I love seeing their revolving menu of beers on tap that are collaborations with other local businesses. One of my faves was their Ubae collab. This time around I was hungry and had their Chili. It was hearty with a generous portion that definitely had that home cooked and delicious taste. The service was great here with friendly servers and a lively atmosphere without being too loud. I could have a conversation with my company without having to shout. I look forward to my next visit. read more

It's tricky to rate a bar/restaurant for me. I'm not sure what would have made this place 5 stars for me. The service was good. The fries with the whole shebang were good especially with my little 4 oz, sampler beer. That was the good part. you can order 4 oz beer if you're not sure what you want or you don't want to drink too much. Even though this is a bar and noise level is high, we did see some people bringing their kids in here. I would say it's a friendly bar inside Pearlridge. read more

(Drank/Dined 08/27/24 TU @4:00pm): This hall was a wonderful lab for beer tasting! After an afternoon spent at Ka'ena Point State Park, I made a point to visit The HALL By Beer Lab HI for drinks and dinner since it was on my way back home. This was another brewery to try which I was excited about. I've had a ball exploring the burgeoning brewery scene on O'ahu, so I was preparing my thirst for this spot. I understood this was one of three locations they had on the island and the most convenient at this time. Would I act like a scientist in a lab and experiment with the many beers they had on tap!? PURCHASE Green Rivah Collaboration w/Rainbow Drive-In Fruit Beer 6.1% ABV 12floz Draft ($9.50): Dark amber color, fruity tropical aroma, low body, fruity lime sweet tropical flavor, clean finish, and light fruity lime sweet tropical aftertaste. My favorite of the beers I drank! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=iDlEW8nCZRLMzw_yEfTEBA 6pc Chicken Wings w/Japanese Curry ($13.00): Each wing had a lovely crispiness, juicy, meaty, and plump, while the curry had a nice slight spiciness and thick consistency. Rice was a mandatory in order to fully eat the curry - yummy! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=HeEgcDWu1QLNtENHFom4KQ Akamai Rye Collaboration w/Kalapawai Hawaii Pale Ale Beer 6.0% ABV 12floz Draft ($8.50): Dark copper red color, rye malty aroma, low body, bourbon rye sweet flavor, smooth finish, and bourbon earthy rye sweet aftertaste. Paired with Chicken Wings w/Japanese Curry. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=txyyuhvEl8qruhWwQU9cBQ Colour Me Life Hazy NEIPA Beer 4.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.50): Hazy milky banana color, citrusy hoppy aroma, low body, citrusy creamy hoppy flavor, mouthfeel finish, and citrusy hoppy aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=Kq62qpeteFgfBgehH7gYug Crispy Pork ($16.00): Filipino-style crispy pork, tomato, onion, scallion, and vinegar sauce, there were plenty of thick fatty crispy pork squares garnished with needless diced vegetables while the vinegar had a surprising slight sweetness. I really enjoyed this dish but felt it was a tad pricey. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=3XDhWDrtzBRvSIv-IWRDAg Scoop Steamed White Rice ($3.00 x2): Nothing special but necessary to pair with the food I ordered. I only wished it wasn't an additional cost. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=WXZXsV02ThJTucbVdzo-YQ Halaya w/Ube & Macapuno Golden Ale Blonde Beer 5.1% ABV 12floz Draft ($9.50): Dark purple color, sweet ube macapuno tropical aroma, medium body, sweet ube macapuno flavor, creamy mouthfeel finish, and sweet ube macapuno tropical aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=DuSlGMKqLBwHt3I9A4_OwA SERVICE I casually sat myself down at the bar and was warmly greeted by a young man and woman behind the bar who promptly handed me a menu and a glass of water. During my time there, I was constantly checked on as my beer and food came out and never felt rushed. All was good - mahalo! PARKING (FREE) Located inside the Pearlridge Center, there were plenty of stalls - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A simple long wide layout predominantly of many benches/chairs/tables with a limited amount of stools at the small bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=qSgZnHNyksHdPAUSpMqxNw where I sat. There were a couple cool colorful murals juxtaposed with the general dark walls https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=-NGd1GxkRokG3JPASBqc0A and industrial feel. Minimal natural lighting came through the outside entrance doors while plenty of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several TVs throughout the place while I couldn't recall any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=NVmhFra9e0ht6HKNWBGkcg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL The HALL By Beer Lab HI was a great way to end my day as I explored another brewery new to me. The beer list https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=PV6tDGv7lqzPgGuxvXKsuQ was a bit limited for a brewery while there was a decent selection of non-beer and food to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed the beer, the prices comparably a tad high, and the service was great. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $73.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Food: 4/5 Dare I say I miss the old menu But here are my go-tos - Char siu chicken katsu: Big portions and unique (to me at least) - Giant pretzel: Can't go wrong with a pretzel lol - Fish tacos: Depends on who makes it. Sometimes the sauce is fire and there's a good amount of toppings. Other times it's like, five slivers of cabbage lol. - Loco moco: Good to share with someone. Sausage gravy is *chefs kiss* Service: 5/5 The staff are fast and friendly. I absolutely love the QR codes. It makes it so so perfect when going out with friends. Everyone can be on their own tab and pay for their own orders. Ugh I love it. After reading other reviews, maybe staff can be more aware of older customers that don't know how to order? Ambiance: 5/5 Pretty casual place and great for get togethers. read more

Beer hall implies , well, a large selection of beers. Not so much. Service was fine and what you'd expect , but I suppose I was expecting more in the way of selection. Perhaps it's a bit unfair to expect more. And I should have looked on line first to see the offerings. Check first if you plan on going I didn't even bother with photos read more

The Food is just alright. The big boy salad is not so big. The crispy pork is a little bit hard. My husband enjoyed the beer he loves brew beers.

I've always heard of Beer Lab but didn't start coming here until recently. I've been missing out! The place is pretty big and has lots of spacious seating. I was surprised to see how big both their beer/drinks and food menu are. From my recent visit, I got the 8 oz Chasing Sun Rises beer and I enjoyed it! It was a lighter beer which I prefer and it had a nice fruity taste. For food we got the fried noodles, crispy pork and a side of rice. Everything was delicious! The fried noodles had a lot of meat and toppings in it. The crispy pork was basically lechon kawali, which you can't go wrong with! Both times I went the service was pretty good and fast. They can accommodate large parties as well! A perfect spot for pau hana :) read more

Haven't been here in a couple of years and glad to see they have improved the food menu. We grabbed a few beers - The Orange Thyme and Sinigang and both were really good! Their beer selections seem to have improved in taste and quality. We tried the Truffle Arancini in tomato cream sauce and it was yummy. I loved the extra pecorino grated on top. Much bigger than your average arancini. Wish there was a stronger truffle flavor though. Nice presentation too. The service was excellent, each staff coming to check in on us. Easy to make reservations or just walk in. Ambiance is always lively, fun for a night out. Easy parking since it's located at the mall. read more

We vs. me plates and vice versa. Another moment of spontaneity for a party of five meandering where to eat. No res needed. Arrived a little after 5ish with cousins seated at a long table signaling us to hele mai. Water carafes with plastic cups came in handy to quench our thirst. Business was steady with plethora of locals. Lighting was perfect. Can get loud at times with nearby, ongoing convos. We had two servers that were patient and helpful. They were able to resolve hiccups in orders - waited for 12 oz beer to arrive, yet was ordered same time as cousin's beer, an extra 12 oz beer that my hubby didn't order, replenished extra clean plates when used ones were removed from the table, had to inquire about order for cinnamon toast twice before it was brought to us. Customer service needs more organization and efficiency for the visit to flow with happy and repeat returnees. Our son enjoyed and consumed all of his homemade cheeseburger with crinkled fries. Honorable highlight for the night: Furikake Ahi Soba: Ahi was perfectly cooked, moist on the inside, with ideal ratio of panko, furikake, aioli and katsu sauce drizzle. Hints of minced garlic on yakisoba, with tad of greens, and red ginger balanced everything on this dish. Category is under We dish and great for sharing family style. This entree would also succeed as a Me dish. 5 out of 5. Please consider keeping this entree for lunch and dinner. Definitely a winner! We also enjoyed: Garlic Fries: Hints of minced garlic and freshly grated Parmesan cheese cuts to the chase on crinkled fries. Giant Pretzel: Reminded me of a happy, huge pretzel. Interesting taste and a twist for mustard seed sauce. Cheese dipping sauce also came in handy if gravitating toward traditional palate. K.F.C. = Korean Fried Chicken goes well alone or paired with beverages. Batter, seasonings, garnishes, and greens worked in favor for this tasty appetizer. I think this We appetizer needs a few more pieces in one order. Banana Lumpia: Ok I didn't eat this one. However, my CIL insisted I take a picture of this dessert. Shared with three others as they relished it in time before vanilla ice cream could fully melt. Cinnamon Toast: Four diagonal slices of heat hot and evenly seasoned cinnamon, sugar, and more with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Four of us shared. Perfect way to cap the evening, satisfy our palates and tummies before saying our thank-yous, goodbyes and hugs. Till next time. read more

I've been here a few times and am finally writing a review. Chef Daniel came on board April 2024 and revamped the menu. The focus is on locally made and sourced ingredients and everything is made from scratch. You can really tell the difference in the flavor of the food and quality. The Loco Moco was delicious using Kauai Beef and eggs from Waialua, instead of regular sausage they use Kukui Sausage. The menu will be changing every few months with a few one coming out Jan 2025! Not many people know this but they are open for Breakfast but you need to enter from the parking lot instead of through the mall. Besides the Ono food the Local Beer is delicious here. I recently had a little hing pickle beer that sounds funky but was delicious! Solid food and drinks Support local! read more

First time here and only spent 45 minutes. Austere entrance, I've driven past it many times and had absolutely no clue this was the entrance and the signage doesn't scream the name over the door. Two trips past and my drinking bud texted he saw me going past from his seat inside. Looking over my shoulder I was amazed at the small entry. Found parking and walked myself back shaking my head. Once inside the operation is much larger than it appears from outside and the back door leads you into the mall. So once inside you can sit at a bar with six seats, high top tables against the wall with two or three stools or tables for eight people you may or may not know. We sat at the bar because we actually like to. Being second of our party of three to arrive the menu was already on the table so I quickly chose the Mango Ling hing seltzer not wanting to fill up on beer bubbles only to be met with a "sorry not available"! You know that's not the best way to greet a customer...why not start with "hi, I'm Ms bartender, let me tell you our specials and WHATS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE MENU YOU'RE HOLDING". So looking over the menu again I found another seltzer and ordered that. Luckily it was refreshing which was all I wanted. Two drinks later we paid our tab and moved on to our dinner adventure. Prices are reasonable for a brewery and parking is free. I'm sure we'll be there again for another met up, warm up. Didn't try the food so maybe next time for that too. read more

It was an after work date in the afternoon before rush hour. Not many customers during this time so we were served rather quickly. Our waitress was the best ! She was so patient with us and answered all our questions. When it's super busy, they recommend ordering via phone by scanning their QR code. Double check with the waitress that they got your order because my order didn't go through right away since I had bad phone signal. It's a good thing I caught that error early or else I wouldn't be served food for a long time. And remember, don't forget to pay your tab on your phone before leaving. It's easily to forget to pay since they didn't ask to pay the check. Be sure to ask if they received your payment before leaving. We ordered a sampler flight of beer to taste - Poi Dog Passion, Try Ones Patience, Cider, and Li Hing Pop. Poi Dog Passion was our favorite so we ordered more drinks. It also so happened to be their drink they were promoting. A portion of the proceeds from any sales of that drink will go to a local pet charity. We also ordered the local style fried rice and hall burger. Overall it was a good meal and good time . Beer Lab is always collaborating with small businesses to brew up wonderful local beer that you can buy at local grocery stores. read more

I'll preface this by saying this is the second time I've visited since the new menu rollout. I had a draft sitting for a long time because I waited over 45 mins for a flatbread a few days after the new menu launched. It was cold, burned, and I only ate two pieces before I gave up on it. After a week of rain, my husband decided he wanted a beer and we both agreed we weren't going to eat but a friend joined us and decided he wanted dinner so we just bit the bullet since we were already there. Idk what compelled me to order the flatbread again but I did and they really redeemed themselves this time. It was fresh, hot, & look at that cheese pull! We got a small order of fries to share and it was definitely enough for 2 adults and my 1 year old to split. Glad we tried it again.
