★★★★☆
We loved the spinach & artichoke dip, very cheesy with a sharp cheddar flavor! We liked all the beers, ciders and specialty drinks that we tried. You can try 5 different beers with the sampler flight. Unfortunately, they didn’t have both of the non-alcoholic drinks that our teen asked for and didn’t have hardly anything for drink carry out. Very disappointing since we are from out of state and just passing through. They were out of a draft I ordered as well. Tons of seating outside both covered and not covered plus yard space with yard games provided! If we ever get back to the area, we would go again!

Best food around, I’m in love with their garlic knots and their Dark Hollow.
Everyone on their stuff is very kid friendly and pet friendly too. Everything on their new menu sounds amazing and looks delicious!
