Had a fantastic espresso martini- you could tell it was a homemade mix. Food was delicious as well. We had the mussels as an appetizer and they were so good. Very fresh and tasted great. Great atmosphere and drink choices. My family will be back!

I have been here multiple times. The food and service were great. The Fuel burger was good along with the muscles and brussels as apps. Atmosphere is good, but lost a star due to how loud it is. They have added some sound deadening pads in the ceiling since the opened, but could use some more being all cement and brick.

Update 8/9: sat on the patio. We had good service. The Brussels app was again delicious. The smash burger was great, but reminded me I should have upgraded to fries because the chips it comes with are gross. Husband liked the fuel burger and friend loved his short ribs entree. Previous review: Have been 3 times in the last few months. First time the chicken burrito bowl was amazing. Second time had the Cajun corn chowder which was very good, but the chicken burrito bowl was different and a little cold. Tonight had the classic smash burger + bacon and it was delish. Also the Brussels and mussels apps were good too. Guys enjoyed their fuel burgers. Service was good.

Wow! I'm impressed. Sarah was the sweetest bartender. We enjoyed happy hour specials and the mussels were the best I've ever had. The Christmas decor was perfection.

We brought a business colleague here for lunch after having eaten here several times. Food was consistent throughout those visits, but this time there was a hair baked into the pizza. The waitress did not handle it well and was quite rude about it. She could not comprehend how the hair could have come from someone on their staff, and she made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Review is based on all of our experiences, but we are taking our time before we return.
