Had a great time, we took a long time at our table visiting never once did our server not come keep coming back and ask if we needed anything else. We were served quickly, the food was warm and delicious! I will keep going back.

By far THE best food & drinks in Monterey County and STATE. We have traveled 18 states and this place is still number one in our books. I highly recommend this place. The staff was absolutely amazing, great customer service and the atmosphere in this was phenomenal. I truly fell in love with this place. We are most definitely looking forward in coming back soon!!

This place is amazing very spacious high ceilings so clean that it looks like they just opened yesterday. Big enough for 100 plus people gathering out door patio, great bar what's not to love staff that is friendly but not cheesy. I'm not posting pictures of the food because you can see the quality many pictures from others reviews and thier website. I got wings brisket grill cheese, rib sandwich and some sides everything was perfect.

Tender and tasty pork ribs, with generous servings. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

THE TOP LINE: The food is really good.I will admit that I became frustrated at how long the food was taking. I complained to the waitress and a short while later the owner came out to speak with us directly. I was impressed with how professional, patient, and understanding he was. After hearing his explanation, I even felt bad for being a Jerk. I didn't consider how busy the place was, I was only hangry. After thinking about the situation, I concluded that this is not a fast food place nor is it a drive through. This is a place where you plan in advance, enjoy the ambiance, love the food, but most importantly enjoy the time with friends or family.It takes a while because the food is good.It's busy because the food is good.We keep going back because the food is good.BOTTOM LINE: It's worth the wait.

Excellent food & exceptional service

It's a very busy scene on a Friday night, but very comfortable. I was there with a group of 23 for dinner, and each meal was very good. The service staff was friendly andefficient. It was supposed to be an early dinner but, we stayed to listen to a live cover band. Wow!! It was a fun and perfect evening. We will definitely be back!Thank you very much!!

New style gasyro pub fare with a tasty Mexican twist. Great beer selection, and I liked that the menu was ona qr code so I can browse on my phone.Loads of indoor and outdoor (heated) dining options. It looks like there's a large function area with music, but was closed when we were there.Tasty desserts, fresh beer, and the bar is a fun place to hangout and watch the scene.While I was there, the take-out was very busy. Food was more expensive than expected, considering the portion and quality were just average ($18 chicken sandwich).

Came in about 2pm. Pretty mellow.Hostess greeted me with a smile.Sat at the bar. 4 big screen TVs. 1 dedicated to the beer list. The other 3 inoperable..No music, very quiet dull atmosphere considering it’s a tap house. Server/bartender taking care of me very bland. Never smiled or asked how I was doing. Looked at the menu, food looked great, Just wasn’t into a $20 cheese burger. Great beer selection, kinda pricy. Nothing special here.

It was ok the Mac n cheese was good but they topped with brisket but it had to much fat on it ..but next time I’ll try something else
