★★★★★ 5.0 Tina Jaax · Jan 2026

This place is AWESOME!! The beer/drink wall had several delicious choices, and it’s so cool to be able to try the selections before actually making your final choice. The food was amazing! We had the beer cheese soup, a mushroom burger, garlic Parmesan fries, and the brisket sliders . Everything was SO GOOD!! The staff was very friendly, the atmosphere is so cool, and Heather, the owner is awesome! I can’t wait to come back!! ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing vibe, delicious food, and a perfect place to relax and enjoy good company. The service was outstanding - ask for Marko! He's incredibly friendly, attentive, and truly makes the experience even better. Highly recommend!

I had the opportunity to visit this place for a company holiday party. I was very pleased to see the wide variety of beers on tap, along with other drink options such as old fashions and martinis. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and they worked hard to ensure we were all having a good time at our holiday celebration. There is a variety of board/card games for folks to play while enjoying their drink, and there was a nice spread of food set out for everyone. Plus, I LOVE the fact that this place partners with a local shelter for senior animals! 🖤

We just were here for the 80s trivia night. The Parched Pug has taken over the old Tacos El Norte location (which we loved and were bummed when they closed) and finally found or way here for a night of 80s trivia with friends. I had heard mixed reviews on the food, so I was mentally prepared to have mediocre food. It's kind of confusing how you go about ordering food and drink because: 1) it's by person 2) it's by table 3) there are no instructions what to do except for a small sign on the table 4) none of the staff explain anything to you 5) there are three different QR codes to choose from So with so trial and error and explanations from other friends who have visited before (or arrived earlier than us). I ordered a cup of the cream of chicken soup. It came cold and I had to send it

So I don’t know what happened to this place. I’ve been a regular since they opened. I took my brother and sister-in-law here around Christmas, horrible service well done burger that was ordered medium rare, and it took 45 to get out food. Each time I’ve gotten takeout there’s been spilled sauce all over the bag, and the last time I got takeout she gave us the bag with the sauces spilled on their side, like she literally looked at it, looked at us and then gave it to me. Then today is our last time we will ever come. We ordered the pug sliders with the sauce on the side. Half the sliders had the sauces stained in the bun after they wiped it off and the final one was how we ordered. They couldn’t even get new buns. Too busy worried about their reserved large parties to care about regulars. A
