The food is super delicious and this is conveniently located! Our server was nice and it wasnt too busy for a Saturday afternoon. The white pizza and wings were so good. Pricing is a little steep but that's expected with restaurants downtown.
This place is so good. Ut was hard to choose what to eat because there were a lot of good options. I split the buffalo chicken pizza with my dad and it was very good. I don't like hot or spicy food but the buffalo sauce had just enough heat to taste it without it being too much. We went with a group of people and everyone commented on how good all the food looked and tasted. Will definitely be back to try some more items on the menu.

Stopped in for early dinner on Labor Day. Plenty of seating available. The building exterior is lovely, and the interior is comfortable. The ceiling fan system is very unique. All the fans are driven by one motor and interconnected with pulleys and belts. Fun to look at. Lots of TVs for sports, and interesting wall decor. Great looking place. They also offer gluten free options for sandwiches, burgers, and pizzas. We ordered the Cajun Shrimp Salad and the Ditch Digger burger. The salad was great except for the avocado which was inedible. The burger was cooked far beyond the medium temperature requested. Our server, Julie, saved the day by replacing the avocado and giving up a free second beer (Lake Effect Pale Ale-which was awesome). We didn't ask for a new burger because the beef was very tasty in spite of the overcook. Large selection of house brewed beers and ales, both on tap and in cans, plus a well stocked bar with lots of spirits from which to choose. In spite of the food glitches, would give it another shot.
Food is always great and so is the service. Their fish tacos are my go tos, but their burgers are also not shabby. Their outdoor seating is nice during the summer and their inhouse beers are great.
Gouda and beer soup was amazing, my black bean burger, delicious, we stopped in after an appointment for a late lunch. Service was perfect. Great music playing, I thought we were the only people there eating until I saw people leave with takeout containers.
Amazing food with an amazing view! I loved the Cajun chicken Alfredo it was super delicious, it was the perfect sunset dinner, the view was amazing as we watched the sun go down & the live band they had playing was also incredible. I’d recommend for couples for a date night, super romantic!
Went here with my dad for his birthday. Very good food, quick service and a very cool building. Compared to other Brew Pubs, this food was top tier.
