Shift Restaurant and Bar

Was really impressed with the food and overall experience. Somewhat upscale touches but casual dining. Food was all extremely fresh with attention to detail. Appreciate that all the sauces were made. Will have to go back and try some other things.

I have the honor of DJing a wedding at Shift on NYE... They did a GREAT job!! All went extremely smooth, stayed on time, heard lots of compliments on the food and the staff was on top of it all. In fact, the evening went much more smooth than some high end venues that I have been invited to. My company performs at 140+ events a year, Nick, Steve and the team did a great job!! Looking forward to not only eating there but working more events as well!! Have a GREAT 2023 Team!!

We reserved a table through Open Table for 6pm Sunday. There were plenty of tables open when we arrived but it allowed me to add a special request to be seated along a back wall or corner. I explained in the request that I was there with a Military Vet who prefers to not have people walking behind him so if he can be where he can see what's happening in the restaurant he'll be much more relaxed. Upon arrival I gave the hostess our name and she quickly opened the request saw that request was us and seated us in the far back corner (perfect!! Thank you!) This is a thing everywhere we go and I hadn't told him I had added that request but ya'll when I tell you the relaxed exhale and "awesome" from this man when he realized we were in a place he didn't have to be watching behind him/us all night. These little things can become the big things to our Vets, and the staff at Shift was completely attentive and discreet about our request. Regardless of how the rest of the visit was going to go- this level of care was enough for us to know we'd be back. Thank you for supporting our Vets 🇺🇲

Onto service & food.. !
He got a couple bottled beers and I ordered the smoked Old Fashioned. My drink was STRONG and couldn't detect the smokiness or orange but it was great.
The fried pickles. We're fried pickle lovers. These are thin chips, not overly salty. The mountain of fried pickles comes with ranch & spicy ranch and would have been plenty for 4 normal people to split but the 2 of us finished them by the end of our meal lol. We didn't order it but we saw other tables getting these beautiful giant soft pretzels with bier cheese... next time!

We could order the Sunday Chicken Dinner Special which is all you can eat fried chicken, 4 sides, cheddar biscuits & a dessert for $19.99 each. We picked Side Salad, mac&cheese, mashed potatoes & green beans and they were all EXCELLENT. This was the best side salad we've had at a restaurant maybe ever. Real fancy lettuce, cherry tomatoes that were actually red all the way through, Cucumbers, red onion, buttery croutons. The green beans- ok, a lot of places will give you canned green beans- not Shift! These were clearly real, living green beans that had been sautéed with onions & bacon. I'm not kidding when I say that I could have ordered an entire meal of just these green beans. Get the green beans!! (But note they aren't veggie or vegan)
The chicken, mashed potatoes & mac&cheese were all great too. They were very much homemade comfort food and we will get them all again. All of the chicken & sides was available to get refilled if you'd like. We found that all of the chicken/sides arrived to us in perfect portions for both of us to be FULL but but also not wasting any food unnecessarily. Restaurants sometimes give way too large of portions so I wanted to point out that this was done perfectly and we noticed it.

For the chicken dinner special you each pick out a dessert. The options when we went were banana pudding, chocolate gooey butter cake and vanilla gooey butter cake. We selected the first 2 options and took them to go since we were too full from supper :)

Our server was so gracious and polite all night. She was accurate, prompt and had excellent timing. This was our first trip to Shift and we'll happily make the 30 minute trip back to come support this restaurant and the wonderful people we encountered during the trip.
This is a lot of words to say we had a great time at Shift, enjoyed an excellent meal in a place filled with caring, attentive staff. We're looking forward to coming back!

Random stop on a birthday ride and we were glad we did. Great food, service, and a pleasant atmosphere. The beer cheese is amazing and overall the food could not be improved on in any way. Pork chops were grilled to perfection, the chicken street taco had wonderful flavors and the dry rub wings were just stellar! Definitely retiring in the future.
