The wife and I stopped in to kill some time while our car was getting worked on at Gill S. From the second we entered, we knew this will be a huge success. The staff was very friendly, the atmosphere was on point for and the food was a home run. Very glad to have this in Madras, we really needed a place like this.

This place has a lot of potential, but there are some things that need improving. We ate here tonight, November 29th and got here around 6:30 and did not receive our food for another hour and a half. Our waitress would often not come to our table, instead having the bartender fill in and run around for us. We ordered drinks that our server informed us were unavailable, but when the bartender heard what drinks we ordered they were able to make said drink. The type of liquor we requested was also not what we were given, adding an extra $4 per drink that we weren’t made aware of. The food was good, though the salad had next to no dressing. The fries were really good, and the drinks that the bartender could make us were also very good. Again with it being so new and a weekend at that, I’m sure there are things that will improve with time, but watching others get served food when they walked in half an hour after us was a little disheartening.

Within 15 minutes of my initial review, the owner responded. I don't just "give" a 5th star here, it has to be earned. Taking a quick moment to personally respond to my observations is great customer relations, so here's that 5th star. (I'll be looking for that dessert menu?)

Original Review: It's an open area style pub with pretty decent food. The service was a bit on the slow side, and we got here before a rush. It took almost 25 minutes for sweet potato fries and nachos, but the nachos were pretty much worth the wait. My brother had a pint of Hoppy Habit and gave it a 4.

There is no dessert here, so fellow fluffy people plan something else in that department??

I’ve been a customer since they opened in 2017 in Redmond! Always good food, good beer, good conversation and good people! Thank you!

Grand opening night! The building looks incredible, service and food both amazing. I love how the owners work the floor and check in with the customers. Will definitely be back soon.
