    Saw this place Really rebuild its clientele and improve itself with the new GM. It was packed but our server was great and the food was awesome.

    We gave Troll Pub a second chance at managements request. Our experience this time was great all around. The service each time has been great. This time the food was much better! We went on a night that it wasn’t so busy and everything came out quickly and the food was good…no complaints around the table! So we good we tried the brownie Sunday… a new favorite. Really good!

    First time in the area and at this restaurant, it was very enjoyable, with environment and service. Do not think you could go wrong with anything you order to be honest. One or two items we ordered could have had a few things adjusted, but would still order again when and if we come back to the area. Plan on recommending to a friend that lives down this way.

    Our first clue was having to pay to park in their own parking lot. service was incredibly slow even though they were not busy at all. the fact that they weren't busy at 7:00 p.m. on a Saturday night was our second clue! all for adult meals that showed up after an incredibly long wait were cold. the food tasted old like it had sat out for a while. the waitress was nice but you could tell she didn't want to be there either! save your money! do not waste your time

    Atmosphere was amazing. Really cool building, but the food was subpar at best at the service was ok. Our waitress was sweet but we were sitting for about 7-10 minutes before anyone came and took our order.

    The kitchen must have been very under-staffed that night. It took 1 hour. 15 minutes for us to get our food after ordering. Our initial drinks came out quick, but our waters were not even re-filled. The waitress apologized and gave us money off the bill.
