★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jacky Beans · Oct 2025

We were excited to try this quant place in town. Very disappointing! Seat yourself which was fine, but we waited awhile for anyone to notice us. Server finally came around for drink and apps order. After receiving drinks, we were told they were out of duck fat tots, which is the ONLY reason we went there! Chose the tuna app, would not order again. Entrees were the strip steak for both. I'm not sure that I've ever seen a thinner steak than this one! It was something that you'd see on a sandwich piled high with toppings, but definitely NOT an entree steak. We were fresh off of a flight and our hotel wasn't as expected, we were tired, paid and just left. Not sure if it was an off night, but definitely not on our list to return.

I'm traveling with my tiny best friend, so finding a restaurant that welcomed her was amazing! They brought her a water bowl, petted her, and made her feel as welcome as I was. I had soup and the most amazing grilled cheese ever! (So I could share with Moira) But their menu consisted of pastas, steak, salads, soups, burgers..... I'll be here for a couple of days, so I'll definitely be visiting then again. ❤️❤️ 2 thumbs WAY up for this one!!

In town for 4 days visiting relative at the hospital. We had some long, challenging days and very pleasantly surprised to find and enjoy Father Tom’s the 1st night in town. Tessa was charming, efficient, and kind. The food was comforting and delicious. The atmosphere was friendly and laid back. All of which prompted our return patronage on subsequent nights until returning home. Finding this little gem made our difficult trip bearable. We appreciate their hospitality and warmth and fine fare. Well done!

This place was a delight! We got burgers at the server’s suggestion, and they were amazing. The pretzel bun taste like it just came out of the oven. The sweet potato fries were deliciously crispy. The Mac and cheese came out hot and melted—and it never gooped up. The beer selection for drafts were diverse and top notch. And that food comes out as it’s coming off the grill, y’all. We left with full bellies and definite plans to come back!

It's a gastropub with a decent beer selection and a diverse menu that has clearly marked vegetarian and gluten free options. I had Root (curried parsnip soup) and Cali Fire Bites (kind of like nashville hot chicken but cauliflower) with a Milk Stout from Chicago (can't remember the name of it) and they were all dynamite. The soup.was rich, full of earthy sweetness and pronounced curry flavor. The bites were spicy and creamy and the blue cheese dressing was great. Service, from Autumn, was fantastic. Here's the Breakdown: Good eats and cold beers in a cool space with great service equals one fantastic experience +5 stars. I would go back for sure.
