Very unfortunate that I have to write this review because I was expecting something very different…read more This sadly has been my worst restaurant experience in years. We had tickets at eight for Haunting at the Ridge about three minutes away. After looking at the menu, we decided to come here for dinner. I was very excited because of all the great menu options. The service was terrible from the start all around. We arrived at 6:15. There was two people in front of us. The hostess acknowledged us, but never took our name. A few minutes later, other people started coming in and she started taking their names and asking them if they wanted to sit outside. She never gave us that option. One of the people came in and started to debate whether or not they wanted to wait 20 minutes. She told them "You can stay or go, it doesn't matter to me." I should have known right there to leave. We were seated at 6:30 which was not a bad wait. 6:45 our orders were taken. Our waitress did not come back to the table one time after bringing our drinks. Never checked on us, never let us know what was going on with the food. She came back at 7:28 with our appetizer. We asked her how long would it take for the rest of our food. She apologized and said it would be another 20 to 25 minutes. I didn't understand how burgers take over an hour to make. We canceled the rest of the order. I was excited about the hotdog. Another letdown. It was cold when I got it and the chili on top had no flavor. I'm not even sure if it was deep-fried. Definitely not worth the $14.50 price. I will say the fries were very good. They were the only bright spot of the night. They have a lot to offer, but I would never come back here due to my experience.

I have been aware of this lack of business responsibility for a number of years but have refrained from filing such a complaint on Yelp. I would hope that the owners would rectify this inadequacy and establish a more responsible platform with respect to consistently trying to get their customers drunk in order to increase their profits. When raising this concern with the owner in a respectable manner he cursed at me continuously in a vulgar manner.

Sad to say I have lived here for 20+ years and just started going to this establishment. I was missing out. Bar staff is very nice, provide good service. Drink prices are reasonable and they have mostly any liquor you want. If they don't they will order it for the next time you go! I knew they served food but general go after the kitchen is closed (after 10pm). I went on a Tuesday and overheard someone ordering tacos. I ordered 2 chicken tacos. So good! The ingredients were so fresh and chicken was seasoned perfectly. I am a huge fan of salsa verde and this was the best I've had. Tacos were $2 a piece & draft beers are $3 on Tuesday. Good food, cheap night!

Along with the diverse items for lunch, they also have a great beer on tap menu which includes their local cider. If you're in the area picking some fruits or vegetables, definitely stop in and have a beer and some lunch.

The burger was good, not great. I think it was a frozen patty, as it did not taste very fresh. There was an aftertaste to the burger. It was accompanied by lettuce, tomato, red onion, on a getting old soft burger, bun, with ketchup on the side. The price for the beer and burger was $22, which I thought was reasonable. Overall, it was a great time, and looked like the guest were also enjoying themselves A great local place to go, meet with friends and enjoy great live entertainment, many choices from the menu, and of course, the large selection of beers with many other libations available
