We have been here twice and both times the waitresses gave us wonderful recommendations! We have had 4 different sandwiches and 2 appetizers and they were all delicious. Our burgers were a little over done but still juicy and tasty!

Anthony's Restaurant and Pub

Reviewed By Dawn M

Visited Anthonys Restaurant and Pub for lunch and was able to sit outside. It was warm outside that day. There were not enough umbrellas for all of the tables, and we didn't have one. Luckily our waitress refilled our tea often. We both ordered salads and it was very tasty, just not as big as a full size salad should have been.I have been there in the evening a few times and it's really loud. Only ordered app's, but they came out hot and quickly. Drinks were nothing special. Local and close. Clean and generally good crowd there hanging out. Would return.

Reviewed By myinfom2016

Never a wait here, not busy on any given night. Website down for updating menu again. I came to see what new items or specials were being offered, but was disappointed when I arrived and learned no specials was featured. I ordered the green pepper soup (see photo), looked, smelled and tasted more like chili. Either way, soup was good, whatever the name is. Franks redHot sauce is featured here, and the wings are fierce with flavor. Little pricey for small order, but will order again. Many items were removed from current menu (April 29th,'18) No more pasta options, dinners have been cut down to fish & chips, breaded chicken with veggie, or grilled chicken plate with veggie. Besides pizza 14" is $16 cheese only ($2 each topping). This place is nice for craft beer, but pricey overall. High top tables very uncomfortable.

Jameson's Pub

Reviewed By ThreeRivers75

Stopped in for Friday dinner. Good food specials and regular menu choices. Generous portion. Grecian chicken and seafood pasta entrees, french onion soup good choices. Ample domestic and craft beer choices.Be aware there is no separation from the bar to dining areas. Concrete floors with a metal ceiling deck throughout the restaurant leave nowhere for the sound to go but into your ears. People at the bar were having a great time, it was after all Friday night, but conversation at dining tables and booths was impossible.If you're looking for dinner over just drinks, make it a mid-week destination when the decibel​ meter had a chance to drop under 80.

MyGrain Brewing Company

Reviewed By vande1713

The Service Dog beer is outstanding and the Wheel in the Sky with Guava is also outstanding. But don't expect a pint glass for a less than $6.00. Some of their beers are $6 for a pint but others are 8 oz. for$6. The food was not great but not bad either. Expensive for a burger and the taco trio was bland tasting. Also the down fall in my book was the noise... a very loud place, hard to hold a conversation. Service was spot on and food quick to arrive.
