Got seated right away.
Great ambience and bar but the food was not a crowd pleaser. We got the large classic poutine and unfortunately the fries and gravy were not hot or really, barely warm, so the cheese curds were still cold and hard and gravy.
The rest of the group got the banh mi sausage special and the regular bratwurst, but it didn’t hit the palette like we were anticipating based on reviews!

As a lesbian, these are the only cylindrical meats I want in my mouth! Simple but delicious flavors that will take you to a new plane of existence, like an orgasm for your mouth AND your brain.
I got the chicago style brat and sweet Jesus tap-dancing Christ on a cracker in a sidecar, it was sooooooooo goood 🤤 I'm definitely coming back! With the good there is some bad though...
This place does have communal seating and it is a bit loud but the food is worth it a million times over.
There is also the issue of accessibility where the front entrance is not handicap accessible nor did I see a sign that indicated if, and where, there was an accessible entrance

Everyone loved the food, enjoyed the dining space and had great service from Chris.
Pictured are the Thai Breaker (with vegan brat) and we shared the Burnt Ginger Tofu - both were delicious.
Oh, we also shared the cheese curds, yum! Others with me had bloody marys and they said they were really great as well.
Great prices too! Go there.
