Matt, the owner is an experience alone! The food is fantastic and the menu always changes. Actually, don't walk in expecting a menu, it changes daily. Self service drinks and yell your order whenever you are ready. Always good music too, live and record. This place also sells records and local art of all kinds. If you want a cool place to kick back, joke around and have a good meal, buckle up cause this is place for you!

Awesome soup, sandwich and beers stop. Fresh as it gets. Gees this sounds like a home work assignment. You must add 85 more words.

This was an unique restaurant experience! The front of the building, made you think you were entering a traditional German beer garden, only to be pleasantly surprised by the modern artful dining room, overlooking the working kitchen. What made this even more unique is the owner, Matt, in which I loved! He was personable, yet tested the boundaries of traditional customer service with his directive approach. To further this experience, there are no menus, but choices to the type of protein and notification of any food allergies. That was it! I had a veggie sandwich and my husband had the chicken salad. Both were the best sandwiches we ever had. I love to try new foods and was not disappointed. Food is an art and there are so many times, we try to massage our orders only to lose site of the chef's intent. This place allows you to have an open mind! I definitely will be back if I'm ever in the area and have already recommended this place to others!

We were in town for a wedding. Matt is a sandwich mad scientist, the food so good we had it both Friday and Saturday for lunch. No menu, built to preference. Tried the chicken, tuna steak, and steak sandwiches, all amazing.
