We visited for dinner on a summer Saturday evening and ate inside. The place was packed but service was quick and the food was fantastic! Our server was attentive but not overbearing. We will absolutely be back when we're in the area again.

Very friendly and relaxing environment. Come here at least once a week. Service is excellent and food is always amazing. They have several different beers to choose from and everyone is a new experience.

Such a good place to eat! Came here for lunch with a group from work and ate outside and we loved it. The bees and flies were bugging us a bit, but the food was amazing. I had the Mac and cheese sandwich and will definitely get the same thing next time. SO GOOD. Make sure to add some meat on it if you opt for that, since it’s well worth it.

Pounders never disappoints, and this visit was no exception. We had the SWEETEST and kindest server today and she was super attentive, timely, and friendly. People working there like Reece is the biggest reason why I keep coming back. Well, that, and the pulled pork nachos. This babies hit the spot every time. THANK YOU!!!

Always hit Pounders when in town. Great food, one of the larger tap beer selections around, and always solid service. This time around started with cheese curds and they were great, and then moved on to the bourbon bacon burger while my daughter had the Philly cheesteak. Both would be easy revisits as they were both solid. And if you like sweet potato fries, give them a try. See you again soon, Pounders team; thanks for another great meal!
