    Delicious vegetarian options as well as more traditional pub fare. Outstanding service, kitschy/cool vibe, and free parking in attached lot. Highly recommended.

    The BBQ Tacos are a hit. They are very large and worth the $7. Also try the Potato Spuds to complete the meal. If you are into Science or Enlightenment this is your favorite pub.

    I love this place. Shelf full of games: mainly trivia, but I found Sorry and even Candyland :). Staff was attentive but not intrusive or pushy. Fabulous selection of American liquors and beers.

    Hush puppies and the potato rounds with toppings (sour cream, bacon, blah blah) are amazing. Good beer selection. Good service. And a fun atmosphere.

    Excellent food, it's our neighborhood pub. Reminds me of the places my dad used to take me to. Low key, darts, board games. They stress American brews and liquors.

    The Bourbon Fried Chicken is delicious, flavorful, and served with some fantastic mashed sweet potatoes. Get it!

    Lovely microbrew list and huge salads. Should've gotten the seared tuna, but got the smoked turkey instead. It was deli meat style...meh. TMT is absolutely on my bar rotation now.

    Brand new menu. Amazing stuff. Try the Empanadas, the bratwurst, or the bourbon fried chicken breast! ...if they aren't sold out.

    The wait staff has no clue how to handle food allergies. If you have any, you really have to educate them. Otherwise, you'll tell them you have a gluten allergy & they'll still put bread on your plate

    Lots of veg options. You have to get a side of their fries!!! The TLT was yums. Beans and rice kinda spicy!

    Skip gumbo (uses broth for base instead of roux) and red beans (just canned beans? over rice). Go for drinks!

    Not the service on Friday night...or at least my Friday. The food was rushed and under cooked. The veg burger had NO TOPPINGS. The sautéed kale was exactly that- no seasonings whatsoever just kale..hm

    The service might be the worst I've ever encountered. The food is good, so we kept giving it a try, but no more. We got up and walked out the past three times in a row.

    Order the "Starving Artist" -- it's a rotating beer, often a very good one, and only $2.50! Total deal.

    Bartender really is unfriendly. Very strange...she does not want to be here, apparently.
