101 Beer Kitchen

Somewhere between a high-end pub and and trendy restaurant, 101 Beer Kitchen has a full bar, a large, specialty menu, and some excellent desserts. It's kid-friendly (except at the bar, of course), the staff is prompt, friendly and knowledgable, and the kitchen allows meat substitutions on the burgers (for example, swapping the beef for grilled chicken; see pics). The good: consistent, positive, dining experiences. Good food. Reasonably priced drinks. The bad: it can get quite busy on the evenings and weekends (I made multiple trips at different times before being able to get good pictures).

Stopped for lunch and to kill some time before checking in to our hotel. We had the tater tots which were good but needed something. The actual tot on it’s on lacked seasoning I think but the overall flavor with the toppings was good. They are filling so if sharing between two, be aware. I had the chicken sandwich that had a tomato jam with arugula and an aioli of some kind. It was very good. Needed to fork and knife it but so good. I subbed the chips it came with for the Brussels sprouts which were also delicious. My husband got the burger with Parmesan fries and he enjoyed it. We also drank a few beers. I had a cranberry ginger sour that was good. We were sat by a fire place that was lovely on the cold day. Great place if you’re looking for a unique menu and drinks!

We stopped in for a beer and a Margarita, not expecting perfectly cooked filets, and the Shrimp and Cheddar Grits was amazing! Great service at the bar seating topped off a nearly perfect experience 👌. Only thing that would have made it better is if we would have come a little earlier to enjoy it longer since we came in an hour before closing. Great Job! Thank You.

Cameron was such a joy! He came over and gave us water when we sat down. Very attentive. When I didnt like my drink he made one personally himself. He went ABOVE and beyond to make our experience great. He didn’t even know it was my anniversary! Also the food was INCREDIBLE I genuinely was not expecting it to be this good. I was going to give up on this chain after the DUBLIN location experience where the waitress put her knuckle in my drink then gave it to me but this turned the bitter taste in my mouth sweet again. Im pretty upset that the green chili and parmesan crusted chicken (pictured below) were removed from the menu I sincerely hope these items return. Either way I will. And I am sure I will have a new favorite.
