Been to a couple locations and this one was one of the most impressive.
Our server, Luke, went above and beyond to take care of us.
Food was unique and good, beer selection was diverse, and everything I had was fresh.
Oddly enough, the kids activity book was really cool. Not just the usual tic tac toe, but there was a few neat musical puzzles and questions that got my family and I all engaged with it, with my son. Hats off to the creative team for that!

Came late on a Tuesday, and it felt kinda weird. Super empty yet somehow still kinda loud? Server was kind and quick, but the beer menu was more limited than I expected. Lots of regional/national stuff, but not as much local.
Burger was delicious, as were the poppers. The ranch and sweet BBQ sauce for the dippers were super good!
The bar where I sat was kinda gross. Sticky all over. For it being so empty, I was surprised that it hadn’t been wiped down. There had to be over a dozen screens, and they were all playing the same hockey game. That also felt weird since there were a few other games on.
Opted to get my food to go, and enjoyed a beer while I waited. Overall a good spot. The food was delicious. I think this spot wins over others in the area because so many of them close significantly earlier.

The Bearded Baker
The cookies, brownie, and oatmeal cream pie were all good, but it was almost $20. Wild. The oatmeal cream pie was the star at $7. The texture was great.
I wish the selection was wider and the prices were more reasonable.
It was good, but I won’t be back.

Mojo Coffee House
I thought my wife had lost her mind when she rolled up with a coffee version of an Arnold Palmer - half lemonade, half coffee. Yuck.
Then I tasted it, and I was like 👀 let’s go get you one because I’m not giving this back. The flavor combination sounds weird, but it’s a delightful way to enjoy a midday cup of coffee in the sun and humidity.
The vibes inside were just as nice. Clean spot, quick and super kind barista, and the bathroom is like a mini hidden museum. I spent longer just soaking up the walls than I did going to the bathroom.
This place was cool. We’ll be back next time we’re at Surrey’s up the street.

Campesino Coffee House
Nice, cozy, welcoming spot with good coffee and some unique eats. The tamales were good.
The cafe de olla was delicious, but my wife was hoping for a latte.
