    Good selections of beers and specials! Wings were good and the Monkey Cheesy Bread as well! The Nashville Chicken Sandwich was ok bread tasted old and hard and the fries tasted like reheated fries and old. Overall not bad. Service was great!

    Went here to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Ordered the broken brisket dip meat was very well cooked! Wings were delicious and nachos were addicting. For drinks I was able to try the Jungle Juice, delicious with a punch behind it is how I would describe the experience! House made donuts were unlike anything I’ve tasted. Overall great place we will back.

    Had a great evening of drinks and dinner at Broken Barrel. There were 5 of us - family and friends, and we sat outside in a large comfy booth on the outdoor patio. What a fun time! It was Friday happy hour, so our starters and some of our drinks were specially priced. All of the food was terrific. If you think this is just a bar for drinking, you are way wrong. The food is creative and wonderful. Lots of really interesting starters - I would recommend the cheese curds and the crispy cauliflower. Our table also shared a large order of wings. There are a bunch of interesting sauces to select from, and our platter included two different ones. The menu says the wings have won awards, and we could all see why. Service was friendly, and the patio is a great option for outdoor dinning. Highly recommended!
