Great food but process issues. 15 minutes to sit with a resevaation seemed excessive for a weeknight (not full). Waiter took forever and dropped the ball on checking in on us..."How's the food, how's the drink, can I get you another drink, etc..."

We were one of 3 tables and the drinks took way too long as well as the service. There Was only one bartender and one server at 11:30 am the day before Christmas eve. And I don’t know why it was so slow. Food was eh. But we left buzzed and in the Christmas spirit with co workers.

As much as I to give Beer Baron a great review, we left disappointed. The Butter Chicken had poor quality chicken pieces throughout, the Chicken and Waffles had way too much fat on the chicken, and to top it off, the Long Island Ice Tea's were short on the alcohol. We went during a very busy night, but that doesn't excuse the quality. We did have awesome service!

We came in pretty late and had dinner at 830. But at then the DJ started sound checks and damn near blew out our ear drums. Our table, unfortunately, was right next to the DJ booth and had staff shouting over us to the DJ near the end of our dinner. Couldn’t get out fast enough. Food and service was great otherwise. Wasn’t a pleasant experience. But I guess it’s our fault for having dinner so late.

Such a great dinner! Great food, and awesome service. When my husband asked to try a whiskey they sent the whiskey guy to our table to figure exactly what he would like. He was so excited! We opted to sit outside because it was so loud inside, and the patio is really nice!
