This place is great. Really good chicken sandwiches and delicious vegan black bean burger, cheap drinks and cool vibe. It seems like they reopened and rebranded after being closed for awhile during the pandemic, but it's a little confusing with the same signs in front. Really glad they are open and will definitely be back!

Stopped in while passing through town for some grub and brews and this place doesn't disappoint! Super friendly staff and laid back vibe with great food. If you like GOOD beers, they have lots of styles of beer and they were all done well. Nothing tasted light or watered down like some small breweries. I wish I was here another day as I would definitely be back.

Eat A Bag of Dickel's: WARNING: The following review contains sarcasm, sassy remarks and is not suitable for children under the age of 2 (mostly because they can't read it). I decided to pop in with my roommate on a nice quiet Sunday night. The first thing you notice is, it's not actually a guild. There are no quests nor parties looking for additional members. Much like their old location, the barber shop, you have to look past the lies in the name. Disappointed I couldn't get a new escort mission to earn gold, I decided to try the food. We sat ourselves by the door and were immediately served by the waitress. I, having not gotten decent service in some time, was taken aback. I'll admit I lashed out, who was she to treat us so well? Anyway, after I was calmed down, we ordered. I went with the Dickel's BBQ Chicken Baguette and we also sampled some of the fries served with "beer" cheese. Disappointment #1. Not enough beer in the cheese to make you forget all of life's problems. Super tasty but if you're looking to slip further into depression, give their beer a try instead. Fries were made in house and were crispy and not sad and greasy like I'm used to. Disappointment #2. The waitress was energetic, knowledgeable and friendly. I don't think people are looking for that when they go out to eat. Where's the waitress who's dead inside, working there only because Olive Garden is the only job she's known for the past 5 years? The one that just does what she has to to get through the day. You certainly won't find that kind of waitress here. Disappointment #3. Who on earth makes vegetables taste GOOD? Ugh, you know who this will attract? Vegetarians. And once they get in, you just can't get them out. They'll even think there's a menu item for them here because it's all vegetables. Pure disgrace. Onto the main dishes: The Dickel itself was alright I suppose. If you like decently thick bacon, smoked gouda and creamy sauce. However, if what you crave is that paper thin Hormel bacon that gives you a moment to ask 'Is this bacon?' then this is not for you. The baguette was toasted, which is nice I suppose, but now I feel entitled and snobbish from eating it. Why aren't all baguette sandwiches toasted? Why isn't all bacon this thick and smokey? Why do people keep staring as I moan while eating this sandwich? At this point we had to decide if we were full or just whimping out as the waitress asked that time old question: "Would you like dessert?" I said no, as I'm trying to eat healthy, but my roommate demanded cheesecake. This is where the service really lost it for me, because they agreed to her request. They honestly should know better. So we both ate dessert. If you're like me and lactose intolerant I should point out that this dessert has lactose in it. I didn't realize that and have paid the price for it already. They really need labels at this place. So in short: If you're looking to be treated like a human, be served delicious food, get bombarded with awesome service then this is the place for you. Otherwise I think there's an Applebee's down the street. RETURN VISIT EDIT - Holy cow. This place. I swear. I expect the 'newness' to wear out of a place after a bit and to be let down when I return because the cook has lost his will to live and the waitress would rather be dead then hear another person ask if the burgers are 'vegan friendly'. Not the case here. Our waitress still as fun loving and bubbly as ever (it's like she doesn't read the news!) and she waited on us as attentively as ever. I think there's something in the water there.... or they treat their waitstaff well but I think we both know which is more likely! The food was still amazing, and I even ordered something different. I couldn't tell you what that was as it was so delicious I didn't bother photographing it and ate it happily. So I will keep coming back here when I have disposable income because I'd rather they have it than I! A+ place. 11/10 would recommend.

I had a great bratwurst although the bun got wet on the bottom. Food was good and the staff was excellent, only wish they offered a side salad.

Great service, delightful food, nice variety of their own beers. The $12 Bloody Mary effectively comes with a very tasty deconstructed sandwich on a stick.

Good beer and food. Very attentive staff. Was 5 stars before the changes. Update... sorry to say no brewery. Staff isn't as good and none of the original food. This place sucks.. seems lazy.

Fantastic homemade bratwurst! Portions are excellent and very filling. Parking can be tight, so share a ride if you're going when its busy. But dont let the parking discourage you, you need their wurst!
