The sweet potato fries were amazing! The grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and grilled to perfection. My fiancé got the crispy chicken sandwich with regular fries and he mentioned it was delicious as well! The atmosphere was very chill with good music. Our waitress was very kind and checked in often. 10/10!!

Went here for a quick cocktail before dinner. The service and everything were beyond fantastic! i can't wait to come back here for dinner and date night. The bartender Cody was fabulous and made me an espresso martini that was out of this world! Mike was so personable and friendly, he put the army navy game i wanted to watch on tv quickly and was so kind. Will absolutely be back soon thank you for an amazing start to my evening! Cheers!

The service and food is really good. They did well. I got the Rail-Avore burger. A bit messy but overall really good. The pickle chips were exceptional. They make their ranch in-house and it tastes like Texas Roadhouse ranch.

The Sunday brunch bunch came by here to try this spot out and the food was absolutely fantastic, got here around 11am and there was no wait, served quickly, ordered the chicken and waffles and they were one of the best for the brunch crew so far, the breading for the chicken is delicious, the chicken fried biscuit wasn’t too bad, the egg lacked a bit of flavor and the sandwich had to be eaten with a fork and knife but that is not bad at all. The caribou coffee was ok not a robust or strong flavor but good otherwise, the server was good, didn’t over but the drinks did not run dry. The only downside is just the amount of flies where we were seated, will be back for chicken and waffles.

seated immediately, friendly service. kind of cold in the back area. the brussels were crispy, sweet, and filling. the bourbon glaze salmon was not too sweet, but the salmon was a tad overdone. the dish was extremely oily, with oil pooling in the plate, but the overall flavors were very good. the southwest bowl is great but adding $14 for a smell strip of salmon is excessive - it makes it a $35 dollar dish. Its great, a lot of food, no complaints on the dish itself, just don't think it's worth $35. Overall the flavors and service was great.

Super impressed with the attention and atmosphere. I wasn't even expecting average food, but it was well above average. The Smash Burger was filling, fresh and delicious. The beer glasses were the cleanest I have seen in years. Great teamwork here and no judgement if you want to eat a burger as a appetizer!

Our waitress was amazing and super kind! The food was not bad. The seasonal drinks were nothing to write home about and were a little disappointing. However, the Bourbon Pecan Pie was a slice of heaven! Our waitress was also super sweet in letting me and my friend stay a little later to catch up, though we were both done eating and had already cashed out!

The menu is not extremely large but all of the food was fantastic!!!!! Burgers are probably at the top of the list. If they happen to have the blueberry lemon cake definitely try it!!! It was absolutely amazing to eat.
