City Works has a really cool airy, modern vibe to it. I absolutely loved their booths and also how cushy their chairs were. It is so rare to find a restaurant with comfortable table chairs. The service also gets a five out of five. Even when business picked up, our waitress distributed her time swiftly and efficiently. The food was above average. My husband got the smokehouse burger which he loved and my 16yr old got the rigatoni which she loved (caution: sausage is spicy!), but, unfortunately, I did not love my burger. I got the city works burger which was cooked perfectly, loved the cheese, but the meat was lacking flavor. I wished I had some SPG spices with me. I loved the fries though and the salt from them helped my burger. I really wanted to love it but I can only give a 4 out of 5 for food.

Great food and friendly staff! We didn’t have reservations but the staff were still able to seat us. Even gave us the option between inside or the patio. We chose the patio because it was a nice summer night. I loved the NashvilleHot Chicken Nachos personally, the Smokehouse Burger was also very good but I’d recommend the Nachos overall. Very Tasty!

Cole was our server. I have some odd food allergies. Cole not only went and spoke to the chef about a specific item, he came back with a photo of the box that the pork came in so that I could verify that it would be okay. Above and beyond. His knowledge of the on tap beverages was stellar. The fried cheese curds, meat loaf and pork chop were delicious. Cole asked if this was our first visit and it was. The manager brought us a generous sample of the buffalo chicken dip to try since it was our first visit. Nice touch.

Food is good and consistent. Good beer selection. I am a wine drinker, so I wish they’d add more wine choices. Salads are well prepared. The succotash vegetables were a little under cooked and chewy, but the meatloaf was wonderful!

The brussel sprouts were on point, I really recomend. Mahi fish tacos also very good. Chips were not drained so a bit oily, and the salsa was ok. Chicken popcorn was good but not spicy at all. Cool selection of beers with various options and rotating taps is pretty cool. Just the beers took some time to come unfortunately, but very nice friendly staff. Hope to come back to try other stuff!

First time visiting this restaurant and I was so amazed. We enjoyed the delicious food. Our waiter was so nice. I ended up getting the mega mule drink. In the pic it looks small but it’s actually big in person. It’s a shareable drink with 2-4 people. Our appetizer Bbq Chicken Flatbread was really good we loved it. For our main dish we ordered the Spicy Shrimp Tacos. mmmm perfect they over stuffed it, It has the perfect spice kick. The Smokehouse Burger medium rare was good and delicious, I enjoyed it. For our dessert we were amazed Peanut Butter Snickers Pie. Best dessert I’ve had so far. I’m definitely going here again when I’m in the area.

Stop by for a quick lunch on a weekday and sit at the bar. They have a tremendous selection of draft beer! I talked to the friendly bartender, and he said they have around 90 beers on tap! He is also very knowledgeable and explained which beer was the best for our tastes. We tried margarita, old fashion and 2 sampler beers, chicken wings, onion rings and scorpion burger. The wings could be better, but they were all still very good. Would totally recommend this place if you have the down time to enjoy many varieties of all kind of beers.

We came in as a party of 10 for my daughter’s birthday. Alexa was great at getting us seated where my parents (both with walkers) were comfortable

I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. We had one of the best restaurant experiences of all times, The staff is courteous and very welcoming to everyone. The ribs were delicious. Best Ribs I’ve had… and I’ve eaten ribs at a lot of restaurants but by far they are the best. BBQ sauce is provided but none is needed. Thank you 1086 Danielle for your welcoming smile and commitment to your customers. Also a big shout out to the manager who came and introduced herself and provided us an exceptionally delicious “happy” that was so delicious we had to order some to go.
