| - Three stars is described as "A-OK" and that is exactly how I felt about the bottle shop. I stopped here with three girlfriends to have a dinner to catch up. It wasn't clear when you walk in but since no one approached ups it seemed fine to seat ourselves. A waitress quickly came over and told us that while she wasn't our server, she would take our drink orders until our server could make it over. This was appreciated.
They have tons of drafts and bottles (obviously), but I went with the Bell's Oberon which was on special for $3, as I thought that was a good price. We had the Yuengling Beer Cheese dip as an appetizer. It was a little small but tasty. The pretzels were hot and fried and the cheese was tasty, though it could have been a bit hotter.
For my dinner I got the brisket sandwich, which was one of the chef's specials. It was tasty but nothing to write home about. The brisket was well prepared and not overcooked, but the bun was standard grocery store hamburger bun style and I think it had some cheddar cheese and LTO. Some BBQ sauce would have complimented it well but I didn't think to ask for any. The fries were tasty but a small portion (fine with me as that's already plenty of food but some people probably would have felt shorted).
After eating, we were still talking though confirmed to our waitress we didn't want any more drinks. She didn't rush us at all, which was cool, but checked back a few times. It seems like she wasn't sure when to ask if she should bring the checks. After about an hour, I went ahead and told her she could bring them and she brought them out promptly, and even split the appetizer without asking, which I loved.
I would come back if someone invited me but wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.
