Had a great time. Drinks were good and the back patio was chill. We did not try the food but the menu did show a plant based option. They also have brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Will definitely drop back in to check it out.

Elwood is Delicious! They have a great menu with some real bangers. I enjoyed the Pork Shank with Mac & Cheese, suggested by our amazing server Orlando. The pork shank was braised tender enough for the bones to pull out clean. The BBQ sauce had a sweet molasses depth with some heat that paired well with the meat. The Mac & Cheese had a great sauce and unique choice of noodle topped with garlic seasoned bread crumbs. They have a decent craft beer selection including local favorites like Peticolis: Velvet Hammer and tasty crafted cocktails. From the outside this place looks to be more of a bar, but the cooks in the kitchen apparently work for Bobby Flay. Subtle shout-out to the Hot Broccoli appetiser. We look forward to coming back and enjoying brunch!

The food and location were pretty good and getting a steak at a bar is usually a hit or miss, but this one was delicious. The fries were cold, but tasted good. The drinks were interesting too. I think the layout works for the space but wasn’t my favorite part. This is a great spot for a first date or to meet after work and I may visit again.

First time discovering The Elwood. Stopped for a beer to check it out. The place was super chill for a Friday night. Staff were all very friendly and service was quick. The menu looked good so we plan on coming back to try the food.

This is an awesome place! The atmosphere is really good and they had a couple of good craft beers but not a lot. They did have really good choices for spirits though. I got the Elwood burger and it was absolutely fantastic. I will definitely be returning here.

First time here, loved it! Tried their Beer Braised BBQ Pork Shank, it was delish. The Mac-N-Cheese served with it was one of the best I've had. 👍👍 Please be warned that the portion of their Loaded Tots was HUGE!! Crispy tots loaded with all the yummy goodness on top at only $12?! It's definitely a steal. Husband liked their whiskey menu and I've already picked out my beer for next visit. When a restaurant served their water iced cold, you knew they cared. Our server was Megan, she was efficient, cordial and knowledgeable of all things on menu. High marks for that. It's 90°F out but sitting at B.F.D.'s shaded patio with nice breeze was such a treat. Especially with the scenic green view right in front of us, you wouldn't even notice this restaurant is actually conveniently located close to SH121. Highly recommend.

I’ve lived across the street from this place for so long and finally checked it out. 10/10, the staff is friendly, hot, and kind. The food is amazing and drinks fantastic. Will be coming back again

For a neighborhood pub and eatery, it FAR surpassed my expectations. Not only do they have amazing signature cocktails and a full wine and beer list, the food is phenomenal! We sat down and shared our large table with another couple and ended up having a great time with people we didn't even know. The atmosphere is upscale but relaxed without affecting the quality of the food and service. The service is fantastic and personable. The server spent time with us and other tables so go visit without feeling rushed. I cannot recommend this place enough for a great dinner with your special someone or a casual drink at the bar.
