7. Midland Inn

Casual atmosphere, reasonable prices, good food, and FAMOUS for our margaritas!! Kitchen closes early, but the bar stays open until 2am as needed Mon-Sat!
Reviewed By Emily V
Midland is one of my husband and my favorites. I love ordering lunch and a beer on the weekend. They have frequent specials, and menu items from nachos and quesadillas, to burgers and fries, to pizza. I enjoy a grilled cheese or some fried mushrooms.There's a large seating area inside, as well as a covered outdoor area. It can get busy though (it has a large local following... people love it!) The employees are friendly and helpful, but around lunch and dinner they can get very busy, so you may have short wait if you need another drink or something. But that's understandable. Occasionally you may have to wait to be seated, but you can order a drink at the bar while you wait. All in all, it's a local favorite with a lot of options and charm.

Cristaudo's has a great line of bakery goods, but my family knows them best for those "Pink Cookies". Once you have tasted one, you always want more! I provided them for a second grade class this year and were they thrilled!

Ate here with my wife and another couple on a Thursday evening 5:30 pm It was not crowded we sat outside. The outside atmosphere is nice we all had cocktails mine was bourbon neat my pours were very small and $8.75 each I doubt they were Evan an ounce It took a little more than an hour to get our food which is way too long. I had fried catfish, it was not hot at all it was room temperature it was very chewy almost like jerky it tasted like it was cooked the day before, and reheated in a microwave and then let set out to get to room temperature. I can honestly say it was the worst fried catfish that I have ever had hands down. My wife had smothered chicken the potatoes looked burnt with 2 glasses of wine me two bourbons and catfish jerky and our bill was $78 not counting the tip. The server was nice but an hour to get our food give me a break. I have eaten here probably 8 times and it was ok but this time terrible. I will not return to this place again. Thank you for your feedback. It helps us improve. I'm very sorry you had a poor experience. We do pour 1.5 oz drinks and they are priced accordingly. $8.75 is our most expensive bourbon which mean you would have had Blanton's, Blade and Bow or Woodford. Wines by the glass are $6, $8 or $10 depending on which one you've ordered.I agree the food taking an hour is way out of line. The catfish is one of our most popular selling items. Some people order their catfish extra well done (believe it or not that's very common) and sounds like that maybe the wrong order went out to you. I wish you would have said something to your server as we could have made this right with you before you left and prevented negative feedback. We want everyone to have a great dining experience and will fix any problem if you let us know.I hope after eating here nine times and just one of those times was bad, you might would give us another chance. We sure hope so. Again so sorry this happened. Thanks for your feedback it's greatly appreciated.

Great long time neighborhood pub with interesting sandwiches, great pizzas, finger foods, and a phenomenal selection of beer and ale. The wine list is a little thin but okay selections. If you go to this place you need to be a beer imbiber. The friendly owner is always present which keeps this eatery a "count on" good location.

This is a great place to end your day of wine tasting, with beer tasting. I went all in for all the dark beers they had and they were all great. The food is wonderful also. Before we left the place filled up. The local love it here. The staff at the orchard down the road came in and it was like a family get together. Everyone knew each other and the special guest is the dog that keeps an eye on the patio area. He has been there all three times I visited. I guess he must be the official brewery dog. But I thick he likes the BBQ better.

We tried the wine tasting at this winery and liked the lot of them. Our server was very informative of all the wines and so this was very helpful. I would recommend a trip here to taste the wines if you have not done so before.
