The food was good and the price was reasonable, but the Fajitas were delivered without tortillas. Once we could contact the server again it still took almost six minutes before we got them. So not really a perfect meal.Thank you for sharing. We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. We hope to see you again soon!

Had a group of 4 when we visited this restaurant for lunch. We were seated right away. Waitress brought us menus and mentioned lunch specials, a sandwich and fries for $5.00. Three of us had the pulled pork sandwich with the apple barbecue glaze. It was a very tasty combo with the glaze and pulled pork. We also received a huge amount of nicely seasoned fries.

Grilled fish came with steamed vegetables. They were horrible. They were frozen and tasted like they were zapped in microwave. No seasoning. The fish was covered in a sauce to excess. Better to stick with the bar food they are serving.

What a great find!! Fun menu, great food, service was top notch. The owner actually walks around and checks on tables. It was our first visit and he brought us some delicious pie to sample. Can't wait to return again and sit on patio when it's warmer. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out!!

Bartender friendly and made suggestions for appetizers and wine.this was first visit so appreciative of suggestions. 2 glasses of a house wine was $18 during happy hour seemed steep. We had two tacos that were pretty tasty . Daughter had blood orange margarita that just had a flat taste and if it had alcohol in it it was a very small amount. The piece of orange in glass was not a blood orange so not sure where the name came from. The restaurant is very nice, roomy and good atmosphere but just lacking in anything to make me want to return.

I was in town for a family wedding, we chose this place for lunch the day before, and enjoyed the food. I know it's a burger pub, but I was craving the fish and chips and they were very good.

We did not stay for dinner, but I did sample multiple appetizers, and they were fabulous! Two of them were really unique and outstanding. I would go back just to have these appetizers again. By the way, the beer was awesome, too. We were there for a happy hour. The brewery itself is very pleasant. It is quite large with lots of seating. The two appetizers that I really loved were the pretzel bites and the snack mix made with almonds and shredded wheat. The break that made the pretzel bites was fantastic - it was a little sweet and very fresh. It is served with a spreadable pimento cheese, and it was delicious. The second appetizer that I loved was a simple snack mix of shredded wheat and almonds. It was the spices that made it so tasty. It had a sweet heat that was delicious and addicting. Next time I would stay for dinner.

My daughter had the Artichoke Tomato Tortellini & I had the Sonoma Shrimp Fettuccine. We both really liked our food, although my dish ended up being a little more unhealthy that I anticipated;) Unfortunately, it was so loud that it was a little hard to hold a conversation (a Thursday evening around 6 PM). I also did not enjoy walking through cigarette smoke to enter & leave the restaurant, but it just may be something I have to get used to when visiting Lawrence?
