This is a must stop. Food is fantastic and they offer some nice specials through the week. Catching the $4.50 draft night is extra special with getting the Summit City Brewwerks stouts! Looking forward to all the new stuff coming!

Very relaxing atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming and so friendly. Burger I had was very good and the tater tots were very crispy! There are enough beers on tap for every type of beer drinker. Try it out!

Went to dinner there Friday with 2 friends before going to the Civic Theater for Something Rotten. Great musical. One of the best I have ever seen!! Anyway dinner was great. I had the burger with swiss, mushrooms and onions with tots. It was tasty and I love that they have tots!! Our server was great, very sweet and efficient. The place is always beautiful with all the beautiful wood!! I hadn’t been there in a while but I will go back soon.

The ambiance had a nice vibe. While the burgers were enjoyable, the cocktails and beer cheese tator tots were decent. Unfortunately, one of the cocktails had an overpowering tequila taste. I asked for my drink to be fixed but it didn’t really do anything. The restaurant was bustling during our visit, leading to a slight delay in the waitress checking on our table.

We dined here with friends last night before going to a concert. The atmosphere was old bar style, that’s because it is an old bar. The food was delicious and the drinks were good and cold. We all had burgers and everyone was really happy with their choices. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the service was a bit slow. Our waiter was super friendly but just didn’t come around in a timely manner.

First time, and impressive is an understatement. Everyone was ridiculously friendly. Like, best friend’s backyard BBQ friendly.

Didn’t get a chance to eat here, was pretty busy and the menu is burgers, wings and other fried things. The staff was good, but definitely under staffed, everyone was really busy. Had the house old fashioned, just a lot of Makers Mark in a glass with some ice, simple syrup, and cherry/orange peel. This is why I gave 3 stars. Would I go back, yes, but not to drink, next time to eat.

My husband and I went here today for the first time. We went for lunch around 12:30 and we absolutely loved this place! We sat outside on the patio, and it was such a cool space. I ordered a burger with sauteed mushrooms and onions, and by far the best burger I’ve had in the Fort! They use fresh beef from Feder’s.

My new favorite restaurant. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the wait staff was exceptional. I’ve never been a salad bar person, but that was the most memorable salad ever. The greens were so crisp and tender, the toppings were fresh. The burgers are amazing, they were cooked to perfection! I wish I would’ve found this place sooner. I haven’t found a restaurant that blew me away in years, until today at Welch’s Ale House. I cannot recommend this place enough, just awesome.
