I have absolutely no complaints about this place. The food is good. The beer selection is even better. I highly recommend this if you’re in the area.

We ordered food Togo as we had traveled all day long. The fish was not cooked well. Breading was mush , couldn’t finish. My burger was under done. Couldn’t finish it and I had specifically asked if I’d gotten plastic ware to eat my salad with and she (Rachel). Said yes but in fact it was not in there. Sadly a poorly spent $60.

It was a challenge to find a spot for our group of approx 50 in town for a hockey tournament, but Matt offered us the upstairs room at Lakeside and it was the perfect space for our group. Our servers James and Savannah did a fantastic job keeping track of parents/players orders and their attention to detail didn't go unnoticed. Between our group we must have sampled almost the entire menu and the comments on the food were overwhelmingly positive. My only regret is playing it safe with another burger instead of giving the footlong a chance.

We visited this restaurant and brewery for lunch on a Friday. We sat at the bar. The food menu was extensive. I ended up with the Coney Island Dog (a true foot long hotdog covered in house made chili and red onions) and my wife ordered a cup of clam chowder and a pasta dish. All of the food was excellent. We also ordered two flights of beer. The beer was hit and miss. The best beer by far was the Greedy Squirrel Peanut Butter Brown Ale but the Clouded Judgement Hazy IPA and the Harry Man Porter were also good. I had high hopes for the Cocoa Pow Chocolate Chili Stout but it seemed all heat and no real flavor. I would have liked more sweetness to it. Overall, this was a great lunch spot and would definitely come again.
