Kowala

Asked for no sauce on my burger. Gave me burger with sauce and I told them situation. They took burger and pretended to remake it, brought the same mustard burger and soggy mustard bun back out to me. Everything else was great but that is a level of disrespect I will not tolerate.

Great beer garden. Great beers!! BBQ Pulled Pork Flatbread was outstanding, it is a little sweet from the sauce. The Meat Candy was outstanding!!! Great ambiance and fantastic bartenders and service people. I was not impressed by the Chicken Wings, the Chicken Wing Drums were tough but the wings were good, and they needed more spices. The Chocolate Milk Stout was fantastic!!! We will be returning soon.

I really enjoyed this place. However, my first impression was not a good one. A person really needs to know how to enter the establishment. What appeared to me to be the front door was actually the door leading to a hallway with the restrooms. After walking through the strange hallway, I ended up on a backyard patio. I had to stand there for a few long seconds and take in what was going on. After I regained what little control of my brain I have, I made my way to the bar and received expert instructions from the bartender. With beer and food ordered, I selected a table and was able to start taking in the atmosphere while sipping a great beer. It's a pleasant place with a relaxed vibe. The food was brought to the table quickly. The meat candy was awesome, as were the bacon-wrapped asparagus. I would definitely visit this location again if I ever find myself in this part of California, and I would recommend that others do the same. Oh, and enter through the alley next to the building. This is how the professionals do it.

Great place to hang out with family and friends. Good atmosphere and the staff are friendly. The food does get a little behind when it's busy and since I work in the service industry I think there are ways to improve their. Other than that I highly recommend, especially when the weather is warm.

Very disappointed. I think the ratings are high because of the beer. The food was awful. Chicken Satay had no seasoning or marinade on it at all. Service wasn't great. You order at the bar and they bring your food to you. Didn't give a number or anything. The person delivering food just wandered around with it and asked every table if it was there until they found the table. Won't be back.

Great little place, where you can sit back and enjoy a beer with good people and pets overall 4 stars. Staff were very friendly. Went on a Friday evening so it was very busy, beer service was as quick as can be during the rush 5 stars. Food did take longer than I would have liked, and it was just okay 3 stars.

Would have been 5 stars if I had not witnessed the manager/owner (older woman with short blonde hair) behaving so rudely! There were a lot of people suddenly in line. Lunch rush. Plus a graduation party. The employee behind the bar was doing an amazing job taking orders, filling drinks, and even helping run food to the tables. She seemed very frazzled and stressed. Then suddenly the owner came behind the bar with a bag of groceries and yelled at her. As we were sitting at our table, the owner came to talk to the graduation party. She belittled her staff and blamed them for the issues. "Apparently my staff are blind idiots and I can’t even run to the grocery store." I am blown away by how rude she was! I will not give service to this business if this is how it is run.
