Customer Reviews

"Service was outstanding. Our waiter was helpful with questions about menu items and other questions we had. The food was delicious. Photos of the motza stick are half because we dove into them. The gumbo was good though I would love more seasoning. The Pulled pork sliders were good but needed more BBQ sauce (which was provided when asked) Mac and cheese was ehhh but the burger was delicious!. Onion rings were really nice. Crispy and hot."

"Ordered the Patio Platter with mushrooms x2, cheese sticks, and fried pickles. Everything was delicious and this appetizer was more than enough for 4 people. Love the blonde craft beer, too. Service was fast and very accommodating. Four stars for atmosphere only because the juke box volume was too low. Could barely hear the songs we paid to play."

"Got the lazy shrimp pistolettes and Cajun charcuterie board. Each was flavored distinctly differently and wonderfully spiced. They had a dog-friendly patio, and the location is conveniently in between an interstate exit and onramp, so it's super convenient as a quick hop-off-hop-on spot while traveling. 10/10 would do again."

"Good food and good drinks, but the place isn't a brewery anymore since the storm years ago."

"It's a very casual place to meet friends and hang out. Outdoor eating area is available. Server was great and food was good. It didn't take long to get our meal. It's the normal type of food you'd expect at a grill. The burgers are large. We don't go out often but this was an enjoyable evening."

- Jason C.

"Had a great dinner here. Ms. April Rose was our sever she treated my family of 6 like she was part of the family. She was sweet to my kids and shared her time overviewing the menu with my kids. She never forgot us and showed genuine care. Food was great too."
