"Holy cow! This place is really nicely decorated, clean, and has a nostalgic feel. The food though is where they shine. I ordered the Lava Chronicles smash burger and fries. This burger was right up my alley. Perfectly cooked, seasoned, and juicy. You can not go wrong with cheese, bacon, and onion rings on a smash burger. To top it off, it's covered in a beer cheese sauce which was dynamite! Let's not forget the french fries, while not the star of the show were certainly a very close second to the burger. These fries were nicely seasoned, perfectly cooked, and just down right delicious."

"Took my staff to Lunch to celebrate a birthday and the being the first time there for most of us, we were promptly greeted with a smile and upbeat attitude. The atmosphere was inviting and the decor was refreshing, but also gave us the blast from the past feeling and we loved it. Our waitress, I'm not sure her name, but had an accent and our glasses were never empty. She answered all of our first time questions with grace and understanding. The food was spectacular. Several of us had the Breaded Tenderloin and in a matter of my personal opinion, it was the best I've ever tasted. I enjoyed our experience so much that we brought our family back for supper that evening. The evening trip was just as awesome as the earlier one. The family enjoyed it all as well."

"Salad and House Ranch was amazing!! Ultimate BLT was good not enough sauce Plenty of bacon though! I wasn't too sure of the brussel sprouts they were different.. not bad overall though. I tasted my friends cole slaw it was pretty good! She loved the onion rings I personally wasn't a fan something about the breading texture for me. Overall amazing experience."

"Enjoyed dinner at Ink and Ale with my wife. The staff were friendly and outgoing. The food arrived hot and reasonably fast. But we were by no means hurried. The bartender waited a handful of tables and managed the bar top, a potential problem for a busy Friday or Saturday night, but she handled it well. I had the ‘Hot off the Presses’ burger: two smashed patties, grilled onions, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeños, delish! My wife had the ‘Daily Indulgence Burger’: two smashed patties, beer mac-n-cheese, and bacon; they nailed a medium cook on the patties. She loved it! Oh, and the fries were amazing. I wrapped up with the carrot cake, quite yummy! The beer menu was good: the usual suspects and a handful of local craft beers on tap and in the bottle. A great night, thanks for the hospitality!"

"The food here is truly delicious! I have to give props to the wait and kitchen staff because the food order and delivery was amazing. Everything we tried, from the pretzel bites with beer cheese to the Front Page BBQ and grilled chicken salad, was excellent. Beyond the food, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere is great—an upscale feel with comfortable seating and ample room for large party gatherings. It's a fantastic spot, complete with entertainment like axe throwing and a golf simulator."

"Had a great lunch, fried pickle with beer cheese. Then the mushroom burger with beer cheese Mac. It was all awesome. The beef had the fresh taste off the farm due to using local beef. The waitress Alexia is very nice explained the menu very well and treated me as though we've known each other for years. I'll be back"
