"A trip to the aquarium is pretty much a given on any Mystic itinerary, and after staring at so much marine life, you’re probably gonna be hungry. We always hit up nearby Jealous Monk, a beer hall with over 30 beers on draft and a huge outdoor patio. The open brewery-style space is kid-friendly, and the menu includes a cheese and charcuterie board that comes with a giant soft pretzel instead of crackers. Order this for the table, then load up on things like the juicy housemade Baviarian brat sandwich with tangy sauerkraut and a cubano-style sandwich that’s served on naan with belgian frites." - tanya edwards

I wanted to see what the hype was with the large crowd of people dining at this restaurant. They have a good amount of choices of craft beers (local and out of state). They also offer wines and hard liquors. They have some delicious appetizers and I got myself corn bread. This type of corn bread isn't your typical corn bread. It looked like french toast at first. It was very delicious. Its phenomal that to find these amazing and creative cooks out there and showcase their work on these dishes. I also had their homemade bratwurst. It was huge but delicious with their side of fries. Fries were crunchy the way I like them and the tenderness and juices in the bratwurst. I recommend this place to have a good time and share stories together and watch sports on the screens. There are various TV screens throughout the restaurant.

I was very impressed by all the pictures of famous people. They have collections of many different types of famous and not so famous people, and old things. The menu was very exciting with the names of the food and cocktails. It is a very interesting place to see, and enjoy the food and drinks 😊 Also in the women's bathroom this was on the switch for the light.😛😂😋

Stopped in for a good beer and relatively good food. Got an eh beer(seemed off/not cold and wasn't even fully filled 1/4 glass of head)and not so great food. Fries were the best thing we had out of 4 different family meals. The extra $6 "Ceasar salad" was a joke, chopped wilted romaine, a few croutons and a crappy "dressing". Service was quick, and staff was friendly though.

Jealous Monk is in a great location being in Old Mystic Village. It is a German beer hall style restaurant with lots of outdoor space during the warmer months. The food is good but they were out of things when we dined there last. Drinks, including beer, are very expensive. The service is okay, but for the prices you pay I think they need to step it up.

Came here for lunch with my family while at the aquarium next door. Food was fresh and excellent, drink selection awesome (they had heady topper!) and they were also very accommodating and friendly to my children (unlike Mango’s wood fired pizza nearby).

My fiance and I had an amazing time doing trivia this past Tuesday at 7pm at Jealous monk. We had the best bartenders Kristina, Blair, Chrissy, Leah and Felicia. And we had a great waitress Haley making sure we had food and drinks all night. The manager Jess was also wonderful and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The pretzals and beer cheese are so good and we loved the boneless wings and French fries. They also have a huge beer list. Highly recommend coming in and grabbing some drinks and food!

1pm-ish on a cold Sunday in early February. Place was hopping but no wait for table space. Had the pretzel chartrutere board as my meal pair with a German beer "dunkel" that went very well together. My wife had the cowboy burger which was super tasty and comes with pulled pork and slaw on the burger. It was a little hard to hear each other with all the echoing conversations, but a good time overall.

We absolutely love Jealous Monk! The food is great and the staff is even better! We love trivia nights on Tuesday with the bartenders Kristina, Blair, Felicia and Chrissy and the waitresses Leah and Haley!! And the manager Jess is absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend for a fun night to hangout at the bar!

Was Shopping at Mystic Village and stopped by for a snack at the bar with friends. The place was super packed. We sat at the bar so that we didn't have wait. We try several beers and a few appetizers to share. I love this place.

Food was delicious! Service was great and they had live music out front! We took advantage of the Oktoberfest menu and ended up being very happy with the pork knuckle and the pretzel charcuterie board. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some of the beers they had on tap of which there are many. Only minor issue is that they couldn't pop the eagles game on which means we'd go elsewhere for sports watching in the future.

What a great German beer hall and bier garden! Food and service were great! We were lucky to score a couple of bar seats as the table wait was 45 minutes. Had the most amazing New England clam chowder and southern tier caramel pumpkin IPA. My husband had a bratwurst which he enjoyed so much. Casual spot with large indoor and outdoor areas. Nice size bar. Friendly and attentive bartenders. Of all the places we could have chosen to eat at the shops, we were thrilled we got to experience here. If you're a beer enthusiast, you'll be so happy! Tons of beers from all over New England and beyond on tap.

The food was very tasty. I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. My friend got the cheese burger and fries. We also got a glass of wine. The waitress was very friendly. It was loud and crowded which is always a good sign. Was fairly priced. Will definitely go again.

We stopped in for lunch after shopping in Olde Mystic Village. My SO and his friend wanted brats, and this one is quite large, served on a bun with sauerkraut. Although the day was lovely, and the outdoor seating area open, our guests chose to dine inside the beer hall. We were told to sit where ever we wished and a waitress came by in quick time with menus and to take a drink order. My SO and his friend walked over to the bar to speak with the bartender about available beers. There are *so* many taps behind that bar! I am not sure of the exact number, but 'dozens' probably covers it. They each got themselves a German beer which was delivered to the table by our waitress. We were ready to order when the beers arrived so we placed the order and the waitress brought over silverware and extra napkins. We ladies chose waters, were given an option of lemon, and the water was refilled during our visit. We were left mostly alone through out our visit, but as the beer hall was not busy, and there were a few staff members near the bar, it would have been easy enough to flag someone down should we need anything, which we didn't. Our food was brought over by another staff member and our waitress checked in on us after a few minutes to be sure we were all set. She was very personable and did a good job. I opted for their Caesar salad which was fresh, had plenty of spicy dressing and lots of croutons. My friend had the Monk burger and loved it. Said it was 'messy, just the way I like it' and tasty. The gentlemen enjoyed their brats. I did try the fries and boy are those things delicious! I'd come back for the fries. Actually, I'd like to try that burger too. If we are back in the area, we'd stop in again. Definitely a beer hall with food, not a restaurant with some German beer. Seating inside is at shared tables, exactly as it is in a Munich beer hall so be prepared for that. Parking is plentiful. Restrooms are dated, but they are clean.

This was kind of disappointing. I was really hoping to have some of their in house brewed beer, but they only offered two underwhelming options (a pilsner and a seltzer). Instead I got a brew from Beer'd, and it was good just not what I was initially looking for. The food was very average. I got fish and chips, and while I liked the fried cod the french fries were not very good, just kind of soggy and flavorless. It was alright, but I wouldn't really recommended it.

Issac K.

Yelp
This place can be summed up by saying it's kind of a "German" version of Yard House. The star of the show is having 5,000 or so beers on tap. The food is always kind of meh. I put German in quotes because it's not really the pinnacle of German food. German food seems pretty rare in the northeast, but there's better wurst around. Plus, they have lots of non-German dishes on the menu. It's ummm...loud inside. Very loud. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I get annoyed when I have to shout to talk to the person sitting right next to me, and I have to either ask "Say again?" 50,000 times or just guess what they said half the times. I sort of find that atmosphere ridiculous. Like, why would you come to a restaurant not by yourself just to not be able to communicate with the people with whom you came?? What are we supposed to do? Drink and eat while getting hearing loss until we're done, and then we leave to compare notes afterwards?? Anyway, I got an order of fish and chips. The breading tastes nice. Tastes like a beer batter. It, however, does not stick to the fish worth a darn, and it also overpowers the taste of the fish by a fair amount. The fries were decently good. Thick cut (1/2 inch, I think?) and crispy, and while they can't quite stand up on their own, they're really good as long as you give it a dash of malt vinegar. The cole slaw that came with it was disappointing and nigh-flavorless. Oh, also, skip using the tartar sauce. I don't know what relish they're using, but it's extremely overpowering in flavor. You put that on your fish, and you will taste neither the batter nor the fish. Service was friendly, but I had 2 beers I didn't order charged to my ticket that I didn't notice until I got back home, so I'm not exactly thrilled about that.

Stopped by for lunch before visiting the aquarium. The inside is really nice and the staff was friendly. I ordered the Bavarian brat that came with fresh cut fries. The fries were cooked well, but the fresh style is just not my favorite in general so these were just okay for me. The brat was huge. I ordered it thinking I'd have no problem finishing it/wouldn't have leftovers before heading to the aquarium, but I honestly struggled to and did not finish it. It was a reasonable price of $15. I wish I wasn't traveling so I could have tried some of the more unique looking menu items or a few cocktails, but I just didn't have the room/time for them! Oh, as I was leaving I noticed a really nice large outdoor seating area that would be great to go to when the weather is nice!

Poor service Bad hospitality. Restaurant was empty and we waited at our table while staff did not even take a drink order

Big open space, attentive staff, great local brews, and a wide variety of sports games to watch. The food was top notch! Would definitely recommend & will be back!

The Jealous Monk is a fun tavern atmosphere. The staff is friendly and efficient. They have an indoor and outdoor area to sit. Everything we've had here has been great. We loved the cornbread appetizer. Haven't tried it yet but friends tell me to request their Mac and cheese. I'll definitely have to go back and check it out.

Went this past weekend w my gfs and the griddle cornbread was suggested to my friend and we decided to give it try. My gosh it's a definite must get when you come here. It's drizzled w Honey and butter. We asked for extra and there was an.50 fee which was needed as they didn't put enough on. It was so delicious and yummy as we ordered 2 servings of it. Along with our sandwiches we got. The Cubano was recommended by the waitress so we decided to try it along w the pastrami Reuben. Very good and delicious and good recommendation. The salad was overpowered w poppy seed dressing and should be served on the side. We sat outside on the deck and it was very nice and cozy. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

I was walking around Olde Mistick Village and we wanted to grab some food. We came upon Jealous Monk and was asked for my phone number so we could be added to the waiting list. We walked around for about 5 minutes and then I got a text message saying that the table was ready. We were seated at a bench in the shade on the side of the porch. It was perfect. We started with the coconut margarita and white sangria. It tasted good. For starters, we ordered the buffalo chicken rangoon which was chicken and cream cheese filled fried wontons, drizzled with buffalo sauce and bleu cheese. This was a great appetizer. The wonton wrapper was very crispy. I had the bangers and mash which is their own housemade bangers with freshly whipped mashed potatoes and peppered gravy. My husband had the Bavarian bratwurst which is also housemade, served on a fresh baked roll with housemaid sauerkraut with house cut Belgian frites and pickle. The portions were a good size. It was a beautiful day to be sitting outside. There are plenty of tables inside and outside. Service was wonderful and friendly.

truly embrace the experience of trying a new eatery and heard good things about the Jealous Monk. We were a family of nine with four adults and five children. I ordered the reuben, which 10 mins after ordering was informed they were out of rye bread. Switched to the Chicken Schnitzel. The service was fast and impressive, and yet, sadly, the chicken was bland and overdriven by the pepper relish and never was the same level as the service. On top of that, the music was so loud we couldn't chat without yelling. I might be back to give them another chance. Frankly, only server 264 motivates me to return!

Went here for lunch and able to order and get food quickly to continue shopping. Both went with nonalcoholic drinks but was impressed with the on tap beer offerings. Next time. My wife had the Cubano sandwich and she enjoyed it. I had the pastrami Reuben and it was very good. Server Miranda was excellent and bar setting was very appealing.

Enjoyed my visit here yesterday. I wanted to try Mangos Pizza but I got overruled by others in my group. It worked out for the best anyways since they had both a great menu and even better draft Beer selection. Merrily jumped in on a flight of brews, 5oz each, before fixating on the Hells Lager and ordering a full pint of that. Went with the pulled pork sandwich which was not only piled high (no skimming here) but had just enough tanginess to stand up at any other BBQ joint. We also had a Mediterranean chicken wrap and an oversized Pretzel. The fries that came with the meals were also those thick pub fries which always go well with a couple of golden brews. Extra points for having multiple lager AND Pilsner choices as opposed to to the usually (and annoying array) of IPAs that I often see in a lot of Rhode Island eateries. Staff here was top notch, waitress attended to all our needs. Definitely a good place to grab lunch either after the Mystic Aquarium or if you're walking around the shops there.

3/29/23: We stopped in the Jealous Monk for a late lunch. The interior has a rustic appearance. Place has indoor and outdoor dining with lots of seating. We started out with a Yuengling and a Jonathan Edwards Cabernet. The cab was very good. We decided on the Monk Burger with Belgian Frites and pickles. Definitely would recommend the Monk Burger. The burgers were prepared to our likings. The frites was okay. Service was fair. Think they could use more help. The Jealous Monk is located in the Old Mistick Village. Parking is available in the village lot.

Stopped by for a drink and a few apps over the weekend and enjoyed it! Overall, it is very spacious with a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Service was friendly! Regarding food, we had ordered a pretzel, fries, and buffalo chicken empanadas. I thought the pretzel was a little too salty (not the end of the world since you can just rub the salt off) but flavor and texture outside of the saltiness was good. Fries were delicious and came with a few dipping sauces. There was too much blue cheese on the empanadas for my liking, but acknowledge that's personal preference!

Yelp
Food, service and ambiance we're all average. They were really busy and our food still came out relatively quickly so that was a plus. Not many options for vegetarians and honestly, not a very big menu overall. I got the fried fish sandwich and while it was good, it was a lot of breading and not a ton of fish. I would eat here again, it just wouldn't be my first choice.

Erica K.

Yelp
I really appreciated the ample space on their covered patio which was dog friendly. The griddled Cornbread was mouth watering finger licking yumminess. The chicken Schnitzel with melted swiss cheese, grilled onions and peppers, chipotle aioli, and a side of fries was cooked perfectly and hit the spot. The friendly waitress was prompt and efficient, leaving us quite satisfied.

Long wait but the hostess squeezed us in outside under a heat lamp within 20 minutes! The heat lamp made outside bearable, at least when we went! Service was good though we did have to go in and ask for the check because the place got super busy. Inside is really loud so just be aware of that if you are sensitive to noise! Pictured is our stuffed duck Ducky enjoying the pretzel and also the Monk Burger with fries. The burger was good, but not super filling. Fries were excellent.

This is a really popular lunch spot with both outdoor and indoor seating. It's packed at lunch time. Grabbed an outdoor seat after our visit to the aquarium. The bench style seating was comfortable and the kids enjoyed it. It's also a kid-friendly restaurant. They gave us crayons and a coloring page when we sat down. You get a great village/town feel and definitely feel like you are on vacation when dining outside. Very comfortable. Food surpassed our expectations. you do get the village feel but almost surreal The kids meals were a good size. The salad is a generous portion and the chicken sandwich is delicious. Overall, great vibe, experience and food. Definitely a must-stop if you're visiting the area.

We started off with the Reuben egg rolls which were so good that we forgot to take a picture of them! The sauce they come with is great too! Definitely recommend Our entrees were amazing! The lobster Mac was perfectly cheesy with lots of big chunks of lobster. I think it was priced accordingly considering the chunks of lobster and size dish. The Cubano was delicious and surprisingly good portion, loved that it was in naan bread like a panini. The fries were great too! We also ended with pretzel bites for desert. They were okay. They were super crispy and wasn't expecting it. Kind of hard to eat and wasn't good reheated. Would love to go back! Everything sounded delicious

Sarah R.

Yelp
There's so many amazing spots in Mystic- and Jealous Monk needs to be on that list of places to check out! For any beer lover there are so many taps of the best beers from all over to try! The food is elevated bar food with a German influence. Try the pretzels and add charcuterie and you won't be disappointed. This visit we tried the Cuban sandwich which was also great!

Aimee S.

Yelp
Decent food, big open family style seating but that also makes for really loud atmosphere. I have to say we just went with a large group last night and 3 of us ordered the new all you can eat ice cream sundae bar, we were disappointed. If you are going to set up something like this please make sure you have staff to maintain it! At $9 per person the soft serve ice cream was good but more than half of the topping containers were completely empty! And every front of house employee was so busy we didn't get a chance to even say anything to any of them.

This WAS one of my go-to places in Mystic, been there dozens of times. This was singularly ruined by an extremely rude and dismissive hostess at 6:00PM on Thursday, April 18th. We stepped in for a quick drink before a movie and with 3/4 of the place empty started moving toward a table. The hostess immediately stopped us, I moved into the place a little further looking for an open table. While I did, my wife was told "these tables are all reserved for someone, you can sit at the bar". My wife said "well the bar is completely full" to which the hostess said "okay" with a smirk, like not her problem. I hadn't heard this discussion because I'd stepped away, having seated myself in this establishment pretty much every other time. There are very long tables there and one had two people all the way at one end. I stepped back to the hostess and asked if we could sit at the opposite end of an almost empty 12 person table. She snapped at me and said "I SAID these tables are reserved!" Jealous Monk, when you put someone like THAT up front as the welcoming committee and in charge of first impressions, you've lost my business along with anyone else I would normally refer toward your establishment. I sincerely hope you make some staffing changes. I'll be looking forward to hearing what future reviews from others reveal and will be glad to change my mind about a once-great place.

Service and food was great. Highly recommend the pretzel and bratwurst sandwich. Great night sitting by the outside fire pits.

I went to this place for dinner and had a pretty decent experience. The fish and chips were standard, and probably a bit greasy. They had something interesting called buffalo chicken rangoons, which are basically crab rangoons but buffalo chicken instead of crab. They tasted pretty good. Overall a decent place and glad I tried it.

Friendly service and good vibe. Located in the shopping area next to the aquarium. Good place to stop by for a bite or drink if you are in the area

Only come here for the beer selections. The food is not that great and overpriced. We had friends come visit us yesterday and we thought we'd take them to JM. We've been here before, but never to eat. We were all disappointed with our meal. Three of us got the Chicken Schnitzel sandwich and it was a very, very small piece of chicken on what looked like a Wonder Bread hamburger bun. The Schnitzel sandwich is nothing at all like you'd get in Germany. The meal is supposed to come with a pickle. We were expecting a pickle wedge, but no, it was just one thinly slicked pickle. The pommes frites weren't too bad, just average. It was just a waste of everyone's time and money. The ambiance is nice and the waitress we had was courteous and friendly, but that didn't make up for the lousy meal. So.....again.....don't come here for the food. Just come here for the beer then go over to the Steak Loft for a good meal.

Came back for the beer! Victory Sour Monkey Berkshire Apuckalips Jack's Abbey Blood Orange Wheat. All good. Bartender was very friendly & offered us to taste anything. She made sure that another patrons pupper had a bowl of water. Can't remember her name but, we were check #162. Love the extensive beer menu.

Really great spot for lunch and right in the middle of mystic village. We loved the charcuterie pretzel and corn bread we got to start.

Enjoyed our visit here last Saturday. The place was busy and we sat at the bar! The variety of beers on tap was excellent and predominantly from New England. I tried a couple of half pours! 1911 Black Cherry was a favorite and the Jealous Monk blueberry hard seltzer. We also ordered some Buffalo wings to enjoy too! The bar tenders were busy, friendly and attentive. Great vibe and worth visiting if you enjoy draft craft beers, porters and stouts!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and had to wait around 25 minutes for a table. Thankfully the system was automated and we were able to walk around a couple stores while we waited for a text that our table was ready. Once we were seated, it took around 10 minutes or so for us to be greeted. Yes it was busy, but the service should have been a bit faster, which is where most of our experience was lacking. We ordered the pretzel to start and paid the $2 extra for a side of bier cheese. While the pretzel was very good, as was the cheese, the cheese side was so small we barely had enough. We ran out of cheese and we were not using it very liberally. For $15 total, it would have been nice to have bigger sides. I got the monk burger for my entree, it was pretty good but just a standard burger. I ordered the monk sauce on the side cause I wasn't sure if I would like it and it just tasted like flavorless mayo. My friend got the mac and cheese and really enjoyed it. I tried some too, it was good but overly buttery. They also have a really good selection of craft beer, which was nice. And a nice outside seating area. Overall a decent experience, but I think I would try a different restaurant in the area if I came back.

Yelp
The ambiance in this place was adorable. But that's the only nice thing about it. The service was slow, the food was bland and under salted, and the burgers were over done. In addition, the food and drinks arrived at the same time. It appeared they were short staffed at the time, but the whole experience was meh... Maybe on a different day, it would have been better.

Michelle N.

Yelp
Last two visits were poor, one waited 35 minutes for someone to take my order (there were less than 10 people there) so I left without getting food, next visit they served a burger with soupy bun, and fries that were so soggy and cold they were gross, had to be twice fried. Service and food have gone downhill quickly.

President's Day - put our name down for lunch around 1245 PM and there was an hour wait for inside seating. They send you a text, you're able to check your place on the waiting list, and they send a text when you're table is ready. It was nice to be able to walk around the shops and even get a small snack. Once seated we were quickly served water and drinks. The food also came out timely also. We started with a bowl of chowder which is big enough to share and the pretzel. The bier cheese is delicious along with the honey mustard! The pretzel is warm and salt and just the right amount of salt. We shared the chicken schnitzel sandwich which was perfectly fried and moist and the toppings pair really well! We got Belgian frites with truffle also crispy fried delicious! The kids chicken nuggets seemed like they were made in house - crunchy and tasty. Option of apple with PB was awesome! Service was top notch also!

My burger came out wrong at first and they remade it perfectly and fast great service!

The brunch menu was full of great selections. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their selections. The 1911 Tropical Cider was found to be refreshing by several in our party. Our server was sweet and very congenial. The charcuterie board was a great appetizer. The restaurant was overall very clean and tidy. This is our second visit to see my navy son and we will be back. Go!

Yelp
Great place for a great selection of beers. Loud ambiance and lots of laughter. It's pretty much a beer hall with a pub menu. Good fries & burgers and nothing fancy. I like the bratwurst option. Skip the Sunday bar - it's overpriced at $8 and it's for the kids. Which there are a lot of and that sits funny for a beer hall. Bartenders are awesome and knowledgeable about the beers and always make great recommendations!

Tourist trap. Great location in Old Mystic Village. Beer which is super popular and food which everyone needs. Great pairing for the village. I wanted to love this place. I really like shopping at the village and this would be a great way to balance my husband being into the village. But... we didn't have a great experience. We called ahead and asked to be on the wait list. we were told it would be about a half hour which was great for us. The table was ready in 20 but they were gracious to hold the table as we were just a few minutes away. The host guys were extremely friendly. The atmosphere outside is pleasant. Gives you an opportunity to people watch, admire some of the shopping village, feel like a beer garden a little as well as a few table have fire pits. (only negative as a parent using a stroller- tough to push on rocks.) Our waitress was a hot mess! First off- I am pretty sure her butt ate her pants. No joke her fanny was hanging out and we are talking about a Sunday afternoon around 4 not 11pm working a bar. She was unable to attend to our basic needs and lacked information regarding the menu. I am a cornbread lover and weak for honey so I did enjoy this pairing. My daughter mac and cheese with bacon was good as well. Good size portion too! I tried the buffalo chicken rangoons. Could have been better- barely anything inside them and too much heat for my liking. Unfortunately I might understand why the Monk is jealous- his establishment isn't as good as other restaurants.

Jealous Monk is a German-style beer hall that opened in Mystic, Connecticut in August 2016. It was founded by restaurateur Bill Middleton. Although born in Pittsburgh, Middletown moved around while growing up. His mother cooked and his father was a chef, but Middleton's career began in investment. He later became inspired to open a German-style beer hall in the United States after several trips to Germany during Oktoberfest. After relocating to Connecticut, a restaurant space became available in Olde Mistick Village and Middleton jumped at the chance to transform it into his dream. Since opening to the public, Jealous Monk has become a staple for beer, pub grub, and celebration! Middleton is also the owner of Mystic restaurants Rio Salado and Taquerio, with plans to open an Italian eatery called Andiamo's. My family and I recently visited Jealous Monk while we were visiting Mystic for the day. Since it was such a nice day, we decided to sit in the biergarten. For drinks, I started off with a draught pour of Virginia-based One Family Brewing's "Woke Up Sexy Again" (Hazy New England IPA) and my wife had a Blueberry Hard Seltzer. Both of our drinks were very refreshing. For entrées, I ordered the Monk Mac n Cheese with diced Bavarian Bratwurst, my wife ordered the Monk Reuben with House Cut Belgian Frites and our son had the Grilled Cheese and Fries off of the Kid's Menu. Everyone was very happy with their meal choices. I also checked out the interior of the restaurant and it very much resembled a traditional German beer hall. Before leaving, I ordered a draught pour of Tox Brewing's "Angel Wings" (IPA) which was excellent. Overall, we had a nice experience at Jealous Monk. This would be a great place to visit during Oktoberfest season!

We came for lunch yesterday . We had the choice for indoor or outdoor dining . We stayed inside . They let us know the only tables available were bar style tables . That was fine . We had a large table and we sat at the end . Before we left another couple were seated at the end of the table . The staff are amazing . Our waitress was friendly and efficient . Also , they had alot of helpers clearing tables , and checking in on us . My friend had the big pretzel . It was chewy and three dipping sauces . For our main , I had the chicken and avocado wrap . It was a great choice . Some feta , veges in it . The chicken was grilled and seasoned nicely . Fries were hot and delicious . My friend had the cod fish and chips . She said it was delicious . The cod was lightly fried and two large pieces . We both took food home . We came early for lunch at 11:30 ish . I think they were prepared to be very busy later. I'll be back when I come down to visit again .

This place was alright. It was very hot outside and our drinks sat empty for 20+ minutes. My sister had the bratwurst and said it tasted bad.

Food was delicious! Look how great this pretzel was, yes there's a pretzel under all the additions! Ambiance was nice on a beautiful summer night as we sat outside. Service was quick and attentive.

Felícia was amazing. She was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu. Do not leave without getting the corn bread. So good we got an order to go. Be sure to make a reservation, the wait is a little crazy.
