I lived in the area for 1.5 years and visited The Rebel House quite frequently. I LOVE the cozy feel of this place. It feels like you are in a log cabin somewhere in the Canadian wilderness. It is not a place where you will find sloppy and obnoxious drunks. They also have cool artwork covering the walls that are for sale that are changed up quite frequently to keep things interesting.
The food is affordable and delicious. Portion sizes are generous. I've ordered the baked chicken wings which I loved - I do have to mention that the wings haven't always been consistent, however... I've gotten my wings both undercooked and quite burned before and had to return them. The mac n' cheese is also great. It is very rich and creamy and I love that some parts are crispy. I love that they allow you to do half&half for your side - not many restaurants accommodate this, let alone offer it to you. If you crave something healthier, you must try the spinach and apple salad - it is sweet (dressing), tart (green apple), crunchy (toasted almonds) and creamy (cheddar cheese) all at the same time.
The beer selection is a good mix of the usual domestic and craft beers. It is changed up often and allows you to try out some new beers every once and awhile.
My only complaint is that they do not allow you to sit at a table unless you order food. I just don't see the reason behind this. That is the only reason I can't give it 5 stars. Otherwise, LOVE THIS PLACE!
P.S. The homemade hot sauce is great!
