“Fun place. Had combo platter for appetizer and everything was great. Burger and fries were good. Tried my friend's chicken nachos and they were fantastic. Staff was great and it is just a fun little bar and grill. Will definitely go again if we are in the area.”

“Sunday errand day! And so while traveling south on kasold we decided to try 23rd street brewery for the 1st time. Bellied up to the bar and whoa! Lots of craft beer choices! I had Wave the wheat and hubby had watermelon ale. Both were delicious and icy cold. Note: the bartender graciously gave us samples (!). We both ordered the classic Flatbread which comes out as a pie shape and NOT a rectangle! Just the right amount of toppings that meld together in harmony! The ambience is lovely as you can talk to each other without yelling to be heard. The women's bathroom is large and very clean. All in all, definitely a 5 star place and as hubby said, "we've found a place that rivals Mr. Brews ". Yes we have and we will absolutely be back. We also bought 2 cans to take home and on Mondays they're 2 for 10.00. WOOT! AND...we're back! Stopped by after a Menards trip. We both had salads. I had NO IDEA the salad I ordered (avocado greens) was going to be able to fee my entire family! Jeeminy! Look at the size of this salad? And the toppings were also huge portions! I bet they used 2 avocados! Just delicious and fresh! Hubby had a side salad and fries (the usual). I had a polly olly beer which was crisp, light and a little happy. Hubby had a bitter professor which he proclaimed delicious! Our new watering hole! We're the ones that sit at the bar. Very clean restaurant and bartenders wipe down surfaces with Microban which is huge thumbs up! We stopped by today and WOW! the place has been transformed into a snow globe. It's absolutely beautiful! We sat at the bar and our favorite bartender, Kelly, was on staff! YAY! The menu has changed but still offers mouthwatering delights! I ordered the Angus burger (medium rare) with fries. Hubby had thr chicken tenders with fries. So, even though the menu has changed, the portions have not. First, my burger was perfection! So many places shy away from a medium rare anything. Not here. Just cooked brilliantly. The burger is huge-like the size of a saucer and thr amount of fries is wickedly huge. No different for hubby's plate too. We have food for the next 2 days-no lie. I enjoyed a "wave the wheat" beer and hubby had a beer to whose name I disremember. It was delicious. Both were served frosty cold. I love the fact we have CLOTH napkins at the bar. So elegant! Kelly was attentive, efficient and friendly. If you have an opportunity to visit this place during the holidays, you should! The atmosphere is an incredible experience with the multitude of lights and decorations. Don't miss it! Hubby and I met bff and her hubby here to experience the snow globe as they had never been. We were seated in a booth and quite frankly, the booth seat was in very sad shape. The tear was at least1 foot long and 6 inches wide. I'm unsure why it couldn't be repaired? Really tacky. Our server was lovely and as there was a party going on, drinks and food were slow. Drinks arrived 20 minutes after ordering and food 30 minutes later. So let's chat about the food. I'm guessing the chef has been replaced because this time the food was pretty bad. I ordered fish and chips (see photo). Bff took one look and said, "it looks like it was pulled out of the Kaw, cut the head off, and fried!" She's wasn't wrong. It just looked gross and it was way overfried and very, very bland. Hubby's chicken salad, same thing: overfried and tough. Bff ate 1/4 of her meal grimacing the whole time. Her hubby's burger was overcooked and looked like a piece of leather. Again, not sure what's going on but somethings changed and it ain't pretty OR tasty. I'm bringing my kids here to see the snow globe BUT we'll have a beer and move on to another food venue. I hope this restaurant returns to its former glory. Fingers crossed!”

“Always a good time, laid back atmosphere, great staff, great beer. They always have something on tap that you will recognize, and something new if you are feeling like mixing it up. The only place in the area that has an English cask beer as part of their regular lineup.”
