What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the house-brewed beers, with several calling them some of the best in Columbia. The menu earns high marks for variety, with standouts like the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, burgers, and crispy chicken sandwiches. Guests love the spacious layout and casual vibe that works equally well for families and adults-only outings. The staff is consistently described as attentive and upbeat, even during busy pre-concert rushes.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the restaurant can get a bit noisy during peak hours—not surprising given its popularity near event times. A few reviews mention a wait for tables on concert nights, so it’s best to make a reservation or arrive early if you're on a schedule.
