Overall: 4.75: Great concept to convert a historical school to trendy eateries, gift shop & restaurant/bars. Interesting provenance about the school history. Cool, relaxed vibe with activities outside/inside & multiple patios & seating areas. Free bottled water & wrapped silverware/utensils & plates. Variety of drink options including beer, wine & cocktails & food options (American, Mexican, Italian, etc.). Kid-and-family friendly environment. Favorites: Chicken Fingers with fries & hamburger with onion rings. Empanadas served to order. Place order & then prompted for pickup via your mobile phone.
The reason I subtracted 1 star is because of the upcharge to get sweet potato fries instead of regular fries -$4.45. The menu on the counter reads like the Bacon & Blue comes with regular fries included. Aside from this issue, the person who waited on me was also the cook. He was friendly, engaged, and helpful when I asked about the Rosemary Lemonade. He got my food quickly and it was hot. The serving size was sufficient for me. See photos for size of the burger and the portion of fries. The blue cheese made the burger quite tasty if you like blue cheese. The sweet potato fries were good - cooked just right - not underdone and not burned. He did great cooking my food. Burger, sweet potato fries, and Lemonade was $20.45 before a tip.
There are several restaurants to choose from but the BBQ spot outside was the most appealing. Then I just paired my meal with an IPA from the partner bar The Barrel Room downstairs. They are steps away from each other
I must have been hungry because my expectations and the service coalesced to make one happy person. I love the concept of Ivywild, I feel so free range to be able to mix and match and "move about the cabin" if you so will. To make great food that I literally was only halfway through my beer and it was ready for me to pick up... and that darn good is a sin all on its own. Love, love, loved the food, great space, great place. Nuff said 🍀
Salad or Bust at Ivywild School was exactly what I needed after a hot day. I went for the Salmon Zing, and it was great! The lemon vinaigrette was delicious I just wish it came with more. The salad came with 3 pieces of pickled green beans not pictured because I literally ate them right up before I remembered to take the photo. I opted out for capers and tomatoes which was nice that I could make changes, and I would definitely order it again.
Visited with 2 young kids.
Soft pretzel, kids loves it.
Chicken tenders, very good, kids liked it as did I. Very large tenders.
Grilled chicken sandwich, just ok.
Mac & cheese, kids didn’t like it but I thought it was excellent. Kids would rather have velveta shells and cheese.
Best chicken tenders I have ever had! The crust was light and flavorful and the chicken meat was so juice and also fully of flavor! The spicy mayo is great too! But above all the people who work there are fabulous!!! Not one customer turned away…as others shut down 30 minutes before 8pm. You guys kept on feeding this delicious food! Went to get the salad or bust…they were too busy trying to close and I am so glad!!! I got a great meal with great service!!!
We tried this out for our first "Date Jar" night as newlyweds. We were confused a bit at first, but we walked in the front doors and were not disappointed. This place is really fun and the food was stellar. We don't drink, so we ended up in the kitchen for an early dinner. There were all types here, families, groups, couples, trendy friends hanging out for drinks. There's outdoor patios, indoor seating and wonderful service. We also bought local mini art from the Art-O-Matic. So cute! Recommendation: try the Korean Burger or the Classic. Fresh beef and tasty ingredients you can taste the difference.
Everything came out perfect. I got the bacon and blu burger and they cooked it to a perfect medium rare. The only down side to this place is the beer selection is pretty small and you have to bus your own table.
Definitely a really cool environment! A restaurant inside of an old elementary school.. the burgers and fries were really good!! Their is also another company called the Principal Office which is a bar with drinks! Super cool !!
Not a bad price!! Not a great portion for burgers or chicken sandwiches, fries and such are like 6$ extra. But for a nice 10$ burger, nothing huge, pretty nice! Not crazy expensive, great atmosphere, such friendly service!
Great place to relax and enjoy lunch! Good selection of deli sandwiches, salads, burgers, coffee and drinks. We enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere in the Teachers Lounge while visiting with friends and family.
If not the best burger in town, top 3 hands down. Note to self: get a double next time you always want more. And onion rings.
I really like this place. The concept is cool. The food good and the brews are great. Cool place to hang out.
