My fiancé and I stopped in for dinner tonight. Great looking place. She had the burger and loved it, I had the combo platter. The ribs were so-so, the pulled pork was good, and the chicken had a great smoke in it. That hot link though was one of the best I've had.
We had Ralph as our server and he was great, a really nice dude.
I had the kitchen sink and the annexation and they were very good. I can't wait to try the parallel I got in the growler. Will definitely be coming back.
My wife and I have been going here for a few years now, as good friends just live down the street from it, but recently we've become more frequent flyers and have introduced this amazing place to a bunch of our friends and family.
We've visited the last three weekends: once with another couple, then with my wife's parents, and finally with a party of 14 last night. Each time we ordered food, had their wonderful craft beer, and had their delightful cocktails.
For every single group, everyone was blown away on all levels. The ambiance is phenomenal with innovative décor and local art. The high wood ceiling is beautiful and every way you turn, there is something both beautiful and interesting to look at. Always bustling, but incredibly diverse in age and race. SO refreshing considering there are way too many breweries that are mono-cultural.
The beer is some of the best we've ever had. Innovative, tasty, and easily the best version of whatever style it's in. From IPA's and DIPA's to NEIPA's, from porters to stouts to imperial stouts, from goses to sours, and even guest ales like meads from Wild Blossom and great craft beer from other local places, they do things right. Having a full bar and expert mixologists helps a ton for our friends that like variety. Best Manhattans and Old Fashioned our parties have ever had (and they've sampled a lot from Chicagoand).
The food. OMG THE FOOD!!! Southwest Eggrolls that explode in your mouth, Gumbo that is just the right amount of spicy and flavorful, burgers and pastrami sandwiches that will keep you coming back, sweet potato fries not done better than anywhere else except for the deep south, crazy good salads, and great dessert choices. Accommodating to kids as well (I have a few elementary and middle school students where this is their favorite place to go).
And the STAFF! What beautiful people that hustle, accommodate, and show such grace and patience they deserve medals every night! Even with our party of 14 last night, everyone was served well and on time, no matter how crazy our tastes got. They are quite easily the best in the business.
Parking is plentiful and free to boot! I could not make a higher recommendation for this beautiful place nestled in the Beverly neighborhood!
My husband and I went here with our friends tonight (who have been before and said we should try it). I’m not a big craft beer drinker (aka “Please bring me your finest Pilsner...”) and our server, Ashley, was so helpful. She guessed what I would enjoy and helped me through the beer selections. (She was so patient and positive!) The owner visited our table and also helped me navigate my choices. They also have other drink options which is helpful for a couple like my husband and me. (He has actually learned to enjoy good beer, unlike me and my unrefined palette...) The food was good, the service was great, and it’s a fun place to try if you haven’t been there before.
