My wife and I were passing through town and randomly stopped here for a break. Had a great experience chatting with Brooks while enjoying some draft beers. In fact, He went above and beyond finding a restaurant that was open on Fathers Day. Super impressed, and hopefully we will get to stop at the Zoo on a future road trip.
