★★★★☆ 4.0 Ashley “Ash” Penwell · Mar 2026

Came here last Friday for Happy Hour with a friend. Bartender was really nice, even when I asked the stupid question if she could make a Vodka cranberry haha. The atmosphere was very lively. I was so shocked at how cheap my drinks were during happy hour. For food I only ordered their Garlic Parm boneless wings. They weren't bad but there was alot of grease in the bottom of the basket. Overall, it is a great place to have some drinks with friends. Will definitely go again!

Amazing! First time there and definitely going back. Thank you! I hope the names are correct, Kathy, Tyler, and Liz (Bartenders) were on point and never missed a beat. Drinks were amazing and on the spot. Security, Brandon and his team! Were very professional and welcoming. Definitely going back and making it my local getaway. Food was amazing!

I tried eating dinner here around 6 in the evening, I was stopped by 2 security guards as soon as I walked in the door. There were 3 of us and one didn't have a ID and were told we couldn't come in and eat even though we were not drinking. I understand rules, but 2 of us are over 40 and the other guy is almost 30. There is no reason for us to be refused service over a ID. And to top that off there is no where to park. So I went to molly pitcher and there food is awesome, check for that review

The menu has a ton of options but everything we ordered was terrible and sad (see pics). The salad was old, had wilted lettuce, and was inedible. The hot food wasn’t hot either. The Chicken Fajita wrap had unseasoned cold chicken and unmelted Mexican blend cheese straight from a bag. Everything had clearly been pulled out of a fridge that it had been sitting in for too long. Would most certainly not recommend.

When we arrived woman said it would be a couple of minutes. She was very unfriendly. 15 minutes later we were still standing by the cold door and the same employee walked past us 3 times without acknowledging us. If you are miserable don't work in a people oriented business. I have been to the Gingerbread Man many times but will never go back. We ended up leaving because we were never seated
