Great beers, both in variety and quality. The food is tasty and a good compliment for the brews. The deck is fantastic on sunny warm days!

Our food was abysmal to say the least. The Munich was incredibly underwhelming. The burger came out incredibly soggy on its bun, and the fries seemed old. The fish tacos - I ordered flour tortillas, came out on corn and our server didn't come around until everyone else was almost done with their food. Then he argued with me that they were not on corn that the flour looked similar. (I tasted the tortilla to make sure). The fish was incredibly dry and overcooked.
Update: everyone else is done with the food and it's been over 20 minutes and the server just came back said "they still haven't made

We came here on Black Friday for an extended family meal that no one in our family had to cook and a great beer selection. The beers were great as always, and the food was a crowd pleaser all around. We had the sausage and Bavarian pretzel appetizer as well as an order of poutine, both of which went quickly. The BBQ sandwich got gr at reviews, and some people like the sausage app so much that they got the entree! The service was fast and personable, despite the lunch rush. The river view was beautiful,despite the chilly weather (we couldn't do the outdoor as eating that some were braving the

Very good service despite a large dining party. Drink selection is strong and varied. Food came out fresh and tasty. This is my third time visiting and it probably won't be my last.
