Went for a weekday lunch and discovered this place is popular! The parking lot is huge to accommodate their seating capacity. Seating is a free-for-all since apparently maître d’s are for restaurants- Just plop down wherever, find your table number, and prepare to scan a QR code because God forbid you hold an actual menu. Fair warning: forgetting your phone here is like showing up to a potluck without a dish — you’re just standing there, useless. And once you’re in? Buckle up for the Scroll of Shame, because this beer garden has approximately nine hundred drink options and your thumb will get a workout longer than the actual lunch. Fun fact: this place used to be Italian in a past life, which explains nothing about the current menu but adds a nice “haunted by carbonara” vibe. What it lacks in culinary ambition it makes up for in real estate — perched on a hill with views good enough to distract you from the fact that the food is fine, just fine. Seating for what feels like 400 people means this place could moonlight as a wedding venue or office party, which honestly tracks — nothing says “till death do us part” like a beer garden with fried chicken sandwiches. Speaking of which: four varieties of fried chicken sandwiches, and credit where due, they’re not stingy with the chicken breast. It’s substantial! Verdict: We’re coming back to try their pizza.

Beautiful place with nice views. Somewhat limited parking. Food is pizza or fried food. There were two salad options but I don't eat cheese so nothing on the menu I could eat. Good job on the outdoor stage.

Had the Ceasar Salad with the peperoni and peperocini pizza. Both were excellent. Thin crust with chewy edges. The Arnold Palmer was as good as they come. 3 stars for service since it is a QR code menu or you get up and go order it yourself and they have food runners who bring food to your table. Nobody will come by and ask if you need refills etc. The ambience is a bit sterile, but the elevated views are really nice with massive outdoor space.
