I visited a few weeks ago and it was a nice time. The decor, vibe and self pour wall were excellent. Loved all the options. The food pretty good. I loved the pizza crust, but the toppings felt kind of cheap. Would love to see bread sticks, cheesey garlic bread or something like that as an appetizer option. The ribs were good and fresh, but the sauce was a little sweet for my liking. Overall, good vibes and decent food.

Oh how I have long awaited being able to review this restaurant. As always, I will review based off of three categories: Food, service and atmosphere. Food I had a build your own pizza. I really appreciate a nice char on the crust and they nailed it! The underside is still soft enough to enjoy easily, but it's not doughy. The hummus and bread was also very tasty. 5/5 stars for their food! Service So this is a read different from a traditional restaurant. You order up at the counter, but you also have to go up to the counter to get your food. There are a couple staff that walk around and ask how you are liking things, but other than that you have to self serve. For those who enjoy a beer, they have a tap wall that you can self serve beer from. They have a large selection from local breweries and wineries. 5/5 stars for service. Atmosphere This kind of establishment has been needed in Plymouth for a long time. It feels like a place to gather and stay. If you know anything about Strong Towns, you know what I'm talking about. If it gives you any idea of how much they want you to sit and stay, they have a small selection of board and card games available to play. 5/5 stars for atmosphere. Congratulations to the team here for knocking out of the park. Keep up the great work.

Our new favorite place to eat everyone was welcoming, the food was delicious, there was a good variety of beer to try, and we liked the self serve aspect! It was cozy too despite the crowd. We got the buffalo chicken pizza and smoked wings which were so good!

I’ve been here a few time and the pulled pork sandwich is delicious and so is the cheesecake and the sweet tea. The atmosphere is great and the ambiance is nice. The only downside is no variety in food choice really just a few things and that’s it.

The experience here is unique but in a great way. First off, the food is very good and the staff is very professional and friendly. The menu is simple and concise which fits the atmosphere very well. The food is ordered at the counter, but is much higher quality than typical counter service restaurants. I had the buffalo chicken pizza and garlic hummus with pita and both were phenomenal. The crust of the pizza had a nice crispness too it while still having some chewyness and bounce to it. Seating is unique. There are typical tables and booths around the interior perimeter but in the center the tables are long with benches able to accommodate multiple parties. I like this concept because it can nurture a sense of community. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Went here for a date night without doing any research beforehand. From the moment you walk in, this has a genuine Public House vibe in the best way possible. Large tables and board games, cozy booths for couples and small groups. Family friendly while still adult oriented. Our pizza was some of the best in the area. Ingredients were fresh, and the crust was cooked to perfection. The kitchen is an example of how food should be presented while cooking. Lastly, the pour your own tap concept is revolutionary for this area. Un expecting even in a small town. The ability to try different beers, along with the vast variety from sours, Pilsner’s and stouts makes this a great spot. We will gladly make this a routine stop for our date nights.

We were so impressed with the high quality of friendly service, cleanliness, and overall design of the place that we had to return twice more. The brick fired oven is stunning and created top tasting pizza. The beer was noticeably fresh and clean. The layout is well planned and spacious leaving plenty of room for the self-serve beverage style. Food is brought to the table by a kind, caring staff. Everything appears brand new and the deck area overlooking the Yellow River is simply outstanding. This place is a huge upgrade for Plymouth and in line with all of the work the city has done downtown.
