    Libby our server was the best! The happy hour is a good deal. $5 wine, well drinks and 16 oz beers and $2 off all appetizers. We had the dry rubbed wings; the bison egg rolls and onion rings -all were very good and served quick and hot. We split the Reuben-delicious as were the parmesan fries. Again, served hot! Friends had the short rib grilled cheese and loved it.

    We had a large party for our family celebrating several birthdays - Moerlein was able to get us in last minute in a long cozy booth with great food, drinks, and view! Not to mention great service as well - we had one muffaletta sandwich which did come with stale bread (an anomaly - just happened to be the last of that roll) and they immediately brought out one of their super yummy pretzels on the house to try to make up for that. The apple cider aperol spritz was really refreshing, the bratwurst sandwich was devine, and I love their coleslaw! Everyone else seemed to also love their choices too - the steak dinner, several had the Reuben, protein bowl, several others - all great! Highly recommend - we can’t wait to return again soon!
