    BBQ Mac w/Brisket
    Phil L.

    Very nice clean friendly place. Food was very good. HUGE menu of options. I had the BBQ Brisket Mac it was very good. I was expecting the standard version I've gotten at various BBQ joints. Mac soaked in cheese with some brisket tossed in and squirt of BBQ sauce on top. This was not how they make it. This was more like a vegetable sweet n sour stir fry with Mac on top and then melted cheese on top of that serve in a hot iron skillet. You can also get it in a burrito or pizza form with other protein choices. My only recommendation is Staff was very friendly and talkative so ask questions when ordering cuz it's likely not what you've had before. Overall it was great and I will definitely come back.

    On the weekends, they are open until 3 am. Very friendly staff. Very large menu. We were the only people there about midnight on a Sat night. My dining partner had a grilled cheese sandwich that had macaroni and brisket on it and came with chips. I had buffalo traditional wing. I think they put the spicy Buffalo sauce on them as my lips were on fire. They were very good. The ranch is Newman's in packets, and they give you a little tin foil cup so you can dip your wings.

    The service was wonderful and the food tasted great! Would definitely recommend if you are craving some hot Mac n' cheese.

    Pizza  Mac and Cheese
    Gita B.

    Yes! This place lives up to all the hype. If you like noodles and company, try this place for a much fresher, more flavorful, elevated upgrade to your usual noods. Walk right on by the not-so-freshly baked bread next door straight into Let Me Cheese U. You will not be disappointed. I had the pizza Mac and cheese. It's exactly that- all the best supreme pizza toppings mixed with cavatappi noodles and cheese. The dish was enormous- enough for leftovers! The ordering process for pickup is so smooth. There's an online order system but I called in. They offer curbside pickup. It looks like there a couple of seats outdoors to enjoy your delicious meal (unsure about inside). Can't wait to come back and try more!

    10" pizza w/Beyond sausage & Violife vegan mozzarella ($15). Excellent crust, nicely done.

The restaurant overlooks the river and has that classic small-town Main Street charm. One unique touch is that it sits just above the railroad tracks--we were lucky enough to catch a train rolling through during our meal, which added to the atmosphere. We started with a half-pound of the boneless teriyaki wings. They were perfectly fine but didn't leave much of an impression. Think classic bar wings--crispy, saucy, and satisfying, but nothing that really stood out from what you'd find elsewhere. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with a side of tater tots. The buffalo flavor was good, but the wrap leaned a little too heavily on the lettuce. She would have liked more chicken and for it to be a bit crispier to balance everything out. Our server recommended the Brisket Burger, and I'm glad I listened. It's a towering burger that's almost a meal for two--I probably could've skipped the appetizer. The smoked brisket added plenty of richness, and there were a lot of flavors working together. My only critique is that the beef patty itself could've used a bit more seasoning to help it stand out alongside the brisket. I paired it with the potato salad, which had a creamy, egg-forward base but could've benefited from a little more seasoning and brightness. While not every dish was a home run, the atmosphere was the star of the visit. Between the river views, historic downtown feel, and trains rolling by, Kelly's Tap House is a fun place to spend a summer afternoon or evening. We'd stop back again, especially to enjoy the location and explore more of the menu.

The vibes in the front and back are SO different... very cute diner in the front & dive bar in the back. We got a bacon cheese burger, Portabella Mushroom Sandwich, and Au Gratin Potatoes. I LOVED the au gratin & am really happy I ordered it on the side. The portabella was a bit soggy and hard to eat - but actually really tasty! And the bacon cheeseburger was a staple, a really jucy burger! We loved their bloody mary and variety of beers too. The menu is HUGE and im really excited to stop back in!

A couple of observations: cleanliness could be improved. The booth we were seated at had many crumbs and other food particles on the seat. Flies are a bit of a pest buzzing around. I know it's not the restaurant's fault esp during the summer but consistently keeping bugs away from my meal is not an ideal indoor dining experience. For those paying via credit card, there is a 3.5% surcharge. The salmon salad was overly fishy and off-putting. Salmon shouldn't taste that way. The deep dish pizza was a nice shareable entree, full of toppings and very tasty.

    THE FOOD!!!!! I…read moreordered through Door Dash to my hotel room so I don't have information about the location... and technically I don't have information about the staff. But I can tell you that whoever determined the menu and keeps everyone on track, and probably everyone at the restaurant put a little love into the place and a lot of love into their coworkers. You CAN taste the difference when people are happy. We went with an order of 3 large shrimp for each of us, and a half chicken and ribs with coleslaw and sweet potatoe fries. The shrimp were incredible! The size! The juiciness, the ability to get every bit of meat out of the tail! Everything about these was everything that I wanted. I couldn't believe that one serving of just 3 was so filling! (I think you would need 6 Red Lobster butterfly shrimp to equal the size of one but you cannot compare the taste as these are peel & eat.) Then I opened the protein box and realized that I had made the embarrassing mistake of not ordering a barbecue sauce. Humph. I think that should not have been such an easy mistake to make on their site. Thankfully, both of us like grilled food without dripping sauces and ... OMG ... We were not disappointed in the food! The ribs were like eating a meat candy. They were such a joy to hold the bone and just lightly pull the tender sweet meat off. There was barely any fat. The spice rub brought out the juices from deep inside the meat but only let them sit on the meat and inside the skin. The chicken was amazing! The dark meat practically ran juices down the front of our shirts as we bit into it, the same way that sweet corn does. The white meat was so juicy it was like the typical dark meat that most people achieve on Thanksgiving. Now, the coleslaw was one of the blandest I've tasted but I figured if you do have one of the spicier barbecue sauces you might be using it as a foil. Helping you to calm your mouth's fire down with the dressing. Of course, fries don't travel well and sweet potatoe are no different. But they were absolutely everything I expected. They were delicious!! I am having surgery in April and trying to see how to ship this food to me after that now. ;)

However, in execution I was a bit disappointed. I came with a group of 6, and I ordered the southwest sandwich with brisket. The disappointing thing about seeing the pass with the food in it, is that you can see your food sit. I saw my friends sandwich sitting for a good 10 minutes. It was just a bit slow. The brisket was bland, and was overpowered by the spicy aioli. They also forgot to ring up our to go order which was a bummer. The hotel breakfast across the street had a better smoked meat.

    My husband wanted fish fry on the last Friday of the official Lenten season. We decided to try out…read morethe Bierstube for the first time, and I'm glad we did! The parking lot is pretty spacious, so no battling for a spot like you might need to in downtown. The bowling alley is in a separate part of the building; we couldn't see hear any sounds from there in the restaurant. We seated ourselves, as a sign advised, and were quickly brought menus. Service remained pretty good throughout our visit. We both had drinks. My husband enjoyed the Bierstube Red, while I had a bottle of Angry Orchard cider. Our cheese curd appetizer was delicious, the curds hot and squeaky with a nice layer of breading. For my main dish, I had the grilled cheese on pumpernickel along with the standard seasoned potato chips. Everything was really good--the sandwich had a great amount of cheese with a good, stringy pull. My husband LOVED the all you can eat fish fry. He declared it to be his favorite out of the local restaurants we've tried. His fries were great, too. After finishing off the main plate, he could request more fish from our server, and she'd bring out a piece at a time on a saucer. I was in an indulgent mood, so we had dessert, too--the apple strudel. It was really good, the strudel piping-hot all the way through, served alongside a big scoop of ice cream. A caramel drizzle added the perfect final touch. We'll definitely be back here, and probably on Fridays!

A $3 upcharge for fries is steep, but they give you a lot of them; I would order them well done/extra crispy. They just recently had to condense their menu. Still more options than an average corner bar, but most of their german food is no longer available. You will not be disappointed by their drink specials.
