A friend of mine and I visited the lab for the first time a couple of days ago. We were greeted with a smile by the bartender from behind the bar. The service was prompt and friendly. We we're interested in something from the menu. The chicken sandwich came highly recommended. "Great, make it two." I've got to say it was pretty bomb! The chicken breast was a little thin but the sandwich was dressed up pretty well and was quite tasty overall. The french fries were crispy and fresh and were especially tasty when dipped in the jalapeno ranch. I would recommend visiting the lab. Great beer selection and a full bar.

Good atmosphere arrived at an off-peak hour so staff was light but the food was good, the portion was generous, and the service was very friendly. The kind of place I would like to bring friends to. Very good beer selection with a nice range of beer types and good beer picks.

This place is fantastic! My wife and I loved the food! And the Secret Trail beer is fantastic! We will definitely be back after the great service we had today. Thanks!
