Leander Beer Market

I was in town for a trail race on Saturday and decided to do some carbo loading, so I ordered the baked shells from the menu. However, when my dish arrived, I realized I had misunderstood the nature of the restaurant. It turns out they only serve pre-made meals that they heat up, rather than having a full-service kitchen. Unfortunately, my dish was lukewarm to cold when it came out, and I had to send it back to be reheated. I finished it, but it wasn’t good at all and was extremely salty. The place is cute and charming, with a nice selection of rotating taps, but I wouldn't recommend it for the food—just for the atmosphere and the beer.

Lauren Henson is fantastic! She came to my rescue when I was waiting in line at the bar and got completely overlooked. The bartender ignored me and served the guy in front of me, along with his friends who were behind me. Lauren stepped in and made sure I got my drinks and food quickly. Her professional customer service was truly impressive. I really appreciate how she took care of me and my friends. She's amazing!

We have been following the owner of this restaurant since his days at Luigi's on Crystal Falls many years ago. Unfortunately, the food and ambiance were much better back then. We dined here recently, and the quality of the food has declined significantly. The fried pickles (served as spears, not chips, as they should be) were disappointing. The lasagna I ordered was simply awful; the pasta was mushy, and the whole dish lacked flavor. The Greek salad was definitely the highlight of the meal. I'm not sure if he still makes his own sauce, but it was quite acidic. Our total bill for two people, including one beer, came to $71.17 with tip. We did take some leftovers home, but I left more than half of my lasagna because it was genuinely inedible. For the same price, we could have gone to Longhorn and enjoyed excellent food and a great steak, so I’m not sure if we will return.

This is such a good neighborhood bar! Pretty cheap drinks and they change often every time we go in there the draft selection is different which is kind of fun and gets you to try something new! If you?re grabbing food the fried pickles, meatball heroand wings are really good! Large outdoor patio with a misting fan, pool table and its dog friendly!

We sat outside on the fan cooled patio with the dog and enjoyed our delicious meatball sub and amazing calzone, perfect Sunday afternoon.
