Food menu is good but not great for the price. Average dish cost is somewhere around $15 with large portions, makes it easy to share with someone. I enjoyed food but I had more expectation for the money we paid. Usually large pretzels are served cold and crispy but I liked their idea of serving warm and soft large pretzels with different kinds of dressings. You must try large pretzels for biting while enjoying your beer.
There are always specials going on including Military Mondays, Fish Fry Fridays, Pork Shank Saturdays and Roasted Duck Sundays. Make sure to check with the place about specials before planning a visit.
