    The menu is great. Good tasty The service was fantastic and location ideal after graduation. I would suggest a server is not also the individual who is in charge of clearing the table and they hirw a separate team to handle that.

    Off to a slow start. Our reservation was for 6:30. They could not seat us on time. 12 mins later we were given a table. Seat was dirty and wet. I asked them to clean it. She wiped it off with a wet rag (water) but didn’t dry it. I stood there fanning the seat with my menu for five minutes. Not a good look, I guess, because the hostess finally showed up with a dry towel to finish the job. 25 mins after reservation time, we received waters and the waitress finally took our drink order. The food was excellent and the beer menu is outstanding. Would have easily been a 4+ if they could get their act together a bit better.

    We went on same day as WSU graduation was being held and you wouldn’t know it. We had reservations and was sat immediately. Service was great. Food came out timely and everything was hot. One of our favorite places to go when we’re in town.

    This place was awesome! Our first time visiting and we loved it. Deanna, our server, was great. The food was delicious, pizza, burger, turkey BLT, and grilled cheese. Plenty of beer choices! The atmosphere was fun. Will definitely return!
