First time here after seeing and hearing multiple great reviews from Facebook/friends and I have to also join in and it’s FANTASTIC! Food was excellent….

(Homemade ranch is by far a great win!!) 

10 out of 10! We will be back!

We have been to the Drinking Well for food twice since it opened and we were thoroughly satisfied with all of our meals. Amazing baked fish as well as the regular fish fry. The burgers on our second visit had the best flame broil flavor.

The ladies behind the bar are amazing. They just opened their kitchen and it was AMAZING! Great portion sizes, everything was fresh and great quality. Drinks are made great every time. Great atmosphere, and great crowds! Finally found a bar I enjoy being at!
