Powerhouse Restaurant & Brewery

Finally stopped at Powerhouse Restaurant & Brewery for dinner. We were seated right away. The atmosphere was unique, with insulators as lighting and the brick walls. It took awhile to get our food. We had the BLTG, bacon lettuce tomato with garlic aoli sauce, and the shroom burger. The BLTG didn't have the flavor of garlic aoli and was pretty plain. The shroom burger was a little dry and not much in the way of mushrooms. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with a first visit and honestly will probably not go back.

Love the atmosphere, repurposed building, not sure of the history but gorgeous setting. Really cool electrical devices all over the place and one that activates when a train goes by. The food was really good. We went on a Thursday and the Pint/Burger combo is unbeatable value. The “classic” burger was massive and came with all the fixings. The tots were perfectly crispy. And of course the frosty pint was exquisite. I had the three letters IPA and it was both complex and refreshing with low bitterness. Our server Ashley was so friendly and approachable. She made us feel at ease and shared her favorite menu items, delving deeper into flavors and descriptions. She joked easily with us and brought an extra spark of joy to our visit. Also the music was playing absolute nostalgia bangers the

Cool spot to grab a bite to eat. Didn't get to try any of the beers during lunch, but the food was great. The fried pickles and calamari were crunchy. The sauces were all good as well. I had a mushroom and Swiss burger with bacon added. The side of sweet potato fries was a nice addition for a little extra. Everything was seasoned well. Our waitress was attentive and came to the table multiple times.

When we got there at 12:30 on Saturday, Feb.21, the employee explained that due to staffing, it may take a bit longer than normal. We had no deadline so we waited, got seated, got our beverages, ordered our food and waited, not all that long. The food was delicious! One of our party of 4 had the wings and was very impressed with the size of them. I had the dip sandwich and it was delicious. Thank you to the two ladies that kept it going, very impressive and they need to be commended for handing a busy Saturday afternoon with nothing but a smile and great service. Would hire them in a minute!!

Everything tasted fine, except for their coleslaw and tartar sauce. I think they use miracle whip instead of mayonnaise in their sauces as a base. It gave Everything a sickly sweet flavor that I just couldn't get behind. The wings, onion rings, fish and chips all tasted fine, nothing special. I am only giving them two stars because I'm writing this from the toilet. I feel like crap after eating their food and I fear I might have food poisoning. It is worth noting that all my friends did enjoy their meals. Apologies for the low review, service was awesome and the atmosphere was cool.
