Baked Mac and Cheese with Smoked Brisket! That's all I really need to say, but I'll add a bit more. The BBQ nachos with pork and brisket also gets a nod, and my buddies girl swore by the Steak Bites, although I did not try them.
I will mention that upon entering, there wasn't anyone to greet you. There's just a sign that says "Join our Virtual Waitlist", with a QR code. You need to do that because if you don't, you will get skipped. While we were waiting for a table, there were 4-5 other groups that had the same thought process I imagine most people who are familiar with dining have; they walk past the sign because usually there is a hostess nearby. That's not the case here, or at least it wasn't this time.
Either way, the servers were awesome and once seated the food and drinks came out quick.
The food and service was very good, highly recommend the baked BBQ Brisket Mac and Cheese ! Drinks were good too, had a slight mix up but the staff handled it well and took it off our bill. We went back for lunchtime next day and got the Hanging Bavarian Pretzel and Porky Pie Flatbread, both were very good! Service was probably the star of the show in my opinion the staff was excellent.
Loved our experience here. Our waiter was awesome and the food was delicious. Adding a bike rack would be ideal as this is a biking community. My only disappointment was their was one staff member (a waitress) that was definitely having a bad day and she was very unfriendly and rude when we walked in and when we were trying to buy merchandise (a shirt) she was incredibly rude to us and her frustration at the computer was displayed very loudly. This is our first trip up north and will definitely be back to this location for the food and atmosphere. All around a great place to visit.
I loved every beer I tried, especially the headless horseman - pumpkin vanilla and cinnamon made for an awesome fall beer! Our server Isabella was super sweet! Food was good!
Ate lunch at The Rusted Spoke after the Bridge walk. We had the steak bites, Ruben sandwich and burnt ends. They were some of the best we have had and the service was perfect. We will be going back anytime we are in the area.
We stopped in for dinner the other day and the food and service were excellent! I have many food allergies and it can be tough to dine out, but the waitstaff and kitchen staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive. I appreciated that they came out to figure out a different side to substitute for the fries. I was able to safely enjoy a great burger alongside my husband's excellent burger. We went around 7 pm on a Sunday (Fourth of July weekend) and were told it was about a 15 minute wait, but it was only about 5 minutes and they had a text service so we were able to go wait outside and enjoy the weather while waiting!
We sat at the bar and had awesome service (we got food and drinks) from Shane.
Good vibes, incredible food (we ordered: black bean burger, Ruben, tacos, all wonderful, and the BEST hot pretzel any of us had ever had in our lives), great beer/mixed drinks, fast service… 5 stars all around.
100000% would come back.
So, it was our first day exploring the area, and we were crazy hungry! While we were walking around, we stumbled upon this joint. It wasn't super packed, but we did have to wait a bit before someone finally noticed us and seated us. Our waiter was actually really cool – fun and patient with all our questions.
Now, let's talk about the grub. It wasn't bad, you know, but it didn't exactly blow our minds either. And here's the thing – it felt a tad too pricey for what we got. Like, I expected better bang for the buck, you feel me? Anyway, it was an alright experience, but we might try somewhere else next time.
Visited this place for the first time after wanting to try it every time we're up here. Exceptional service, excellent food, great beers. The brisket tip sandwich and pulled pork grilled cheese were both a 10! You won't be disappointed.
Stopped on on a Thursday night, beginning of March and it was pretty quiet. Good vibes throughout. Their choice of music was fantastic!! Early 80's maybe, but loved it!
Tom was great in suggesting beers on the flight I ordered, all excellent!
Smoked wings - delicious all by themselves but we ordered buffalo sauce (I declined because they taste yummy alone)
Deep Blue Sea and Italian Stallion pizza were off the hook delicious!
Again, Tom was a fantastic server!
