Get the Old World Sampler. Excellent flavors in this simple but well presented dish will have you wanting to come back for more and appreciating traditional German food .

Check out the historic collection: 6,000 cans, 1,400 beer tap knobs and handles, 2,300 coasters, 825 bottle and can openers, 50 neon signs, and one awesome pre-wedding night out.

Everything was great. I got the boneless fried chicken , which I highly recommend. Also, the Hot Fudge Sundaes are great!

I love the gluten free chicken quesadilla ! It's so good with the peppers and sour cream ! There's outdoor seating if you want to bring your dog too!

Ask for their tap root beer in a flight sized glass w/ vanilla vodka and rumchata ! It's a spiked root beer float in a glass

If someone is looking for nachos , this is not the place to order them- walk across street to bar Louie- nachos here are a huge let down

Groovin Gary

Try the Turtle Cheesecake - OMG

Albert Ellenich

Red Velvet cake on menu is disappointing. It's red. But it's not very chocolatey and has plain white frosting--NOT cream cheese frosting . It's like omitting the coconut from German chocolate cake .

Paul Mayeshiba

Crab melt breakfast brown beer

The food is average and so is the beer .

Kristy Black

Get the Brew Tons - they are incredible!

Nick Sayers

Get the mead and raspberry hefe.

Okay place; nothing special. Entrees have no real flavor. House micro brews are okay, but this place is definitely over priced for what you get.

jessica m. hintermeister

Brewtons are exquisite.

Beer is ok.

Tammy Vose

Ate here on monday Food had no flavor at all and was cold. The mgr was interviewing someone and when the interviewee left the mgr & another worker were talking crap about her. Very unprofessional.

Chloe Cole ????

My friend had a large piece of glass in his ice water. Waitress only offered another water as compensation. Very disappointing... Grilled chicken salad was good but overpriced.

Julie S

Beer tasted watered down.

Shelly Thompson

Grilled cheese rules here. Shelly T.
