It’s been about a year since I last visited and when I heard they recently changed ownership, I thought I will give them a try again. The last time I was there, I ordered the mac and cheese balls and they were frozen in the center. The server gave us a second batch and it was still frozen inside but burnt on the outside. While that appetizer wasn’t good, I remember their wings and burgers being amazing.Walking into their establishment, my stepdad and I were greeted warmly by Carly and she was very kind and helpful with suggestions on what to eat. The menu is still the same from before but we were told that it was going to be changed soon.We ordered the general alarm wings, onion rings, and a side of fries as the appetizer. For the main course, I got the flashover station burger which is their signature and my dad got the ribeye steak which is part of the Thursday special. The steak came with a salad which came out first and then we were surprised when the appetizers and main entrees were all brought out together. But confusion aside, the flavors of every dish were pretty good. The wings were coated with mango habanero sauce and were on the sweeter side and it didn’t taste spicy at all. The onion ring had good batter and were fried to perfection and the fries were crispy and nicely seasoned. I personally really enjoyed the burger, the patty was perfectly cooked medium and was juicy, the portion size was enormous, and the jalapeños add a nice light spice. The steak was seasoned well and tasted flavorful and tender. Overall, everything tasted great! This place is definitely worth a visit if you want good food with great vibes.

Walked in and out. Refresh the pictures you have on the net. The inside of your establishment look nothing like what is posted. I was going to eat here with my wife. Looks dark as hell in here. Not taking my wife here. Too bad. I LOVE dive bars, but not when they do not look safe.

Went in happy and we were happy with our first server. She was friendly and seemed so happy. Then there was shift change and we got a lady with RBF not friendly and no personality. The food was amazing and environment great too. Wish our fist bartender stayed. We will try again because the food was great.

This is like the local spot for regulars and newbies alike. Think of it as your neighborhood "Cheers". The bartenders remember your name and know your drink by heart. They have recently updated their menu and it is a great diversity of bar food whether you want a small appetizer, salad or Burger. The prices are reasonable and they list updated their taps to include 15+ beers. Full bar service is offered as well. Literally check it out, the locals are friendly and eventually everyone will know your name.

Diane and I went here for the first time to check out the food and ambiance. The ambiance was close to that of a dive bar, with a large bulldog on a long leash resting on the floor near the bar--until he got up and licked my shoe. Thank goodness he did not try to bite through it! Food was much better than the decor. But my Station Burger with Cheddar Cheese was not medium rare as requested (it was medium). Its ingredients of lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, avocado, mayonnaise, and meat tasted very good. But the whole edifice almost immediately started falling apart, including the burger patty. So I had to finish it with a knife and fork. Handcut French Fries were really good. And Ground Beef Tacos on Taco Tuesday that were a bit crispy were really more like soft street tacos, although I had requested hard and crispy tacos. Homemade salsa that accompanied the tacos was moderately spicy and interesting. Diane liked her medium Station Burger with Cheddar Cheese and Bacon, and especially the Fries. Service by Brooklynne was good, but the place was way understaffed. So she really had to spread her attention around the dining room and bar. XXX-1/2 stars overall!

The waiter's slow to serve us the beer had allot of foam in it. When I ask for soda took them 10 minutes to deliver it to me. She was also rude to.

This place just got taken over by someone else and astonishingly got worse in service. Still garbage.
I've been wanting to go to the taphouse for about two years now, and I finally got around to doing it, we were not disappointed. The Base Camp beef dip was really very good with the au jus and the fries. A good portion of tri-steak beef, with a brioche bun. The Probie Meltdown was also very good with bacon & tomato, their onion rings..,really, don't miss out on those as they are freshly made not frozen. Brooklynne, our server & bartender was really helpful with our choices. She was very accommodating and polite. Food was brought out in a timely manner. The facility will be going through a lot of changes A renovation for the better and the new name will be Ramsey Street Bar & Grill. Once all the renovations are completed, we'll be back to try it again.
