Howlers And Growlers
2024 Jan 23
It has been over 2 years since we have gone here for dinner. In the past I wasn't overwhelmed with their food, even though they're beer selection is top notch. Glad I let my wife make the call and we went here for dinner.

We all ended up getting burgers, and my wife and I both commented that these were the best burgers we have had in a long, long time. Howlers and Growlers is now firmly back in my radar when we want to go out for burgers and a beer.
The Barn Steakhouse
2023 Apr 22
Had reservations here when we were in town for Easter weekend. We dined here last year and had a fantastic meal, so we decided to come back this year. Appetizers were good, but my wife ordered a Vodka Tonic, which was either Vodka water, or Vodka Flat Tonic. We sent it back, which we usually don't do, and the next one was fine.
Everyone in our party ordered the Filet cooked medium. They arrived and 3/5 were rare, and the others were Medium Rare. My wife's potatoes were also cold. The 3 rare steaks were sent back and they sent 3 new steaks. Again, we generally don't send items back, but they were not edible for my kids.
Now, I get that issues happen, but usually when things like this come up, the manager stops by and checks on the table. Sometimes they even comp part of the meal. (Drink, Dessert or something.)None if that happened. Suffice to say, the whole experience was disappointing.
Wouldn't rule out coming back, but I highly doubt that we will.
