Brew Nation/Lake Rat Brewing — Restaurant in Celina

Stopped in for first visit with two teenagers and reservations about whether or not they would find something on the menu they would enjoy. My niece has now declared she will only be eating woodfire pizzas from here on out! The toppings on the Italian stallion pizza were delicious- the sautéed onions and red peppers were a very nice touch. Those same onions found their way to the pulled pork nachos - the only thing that might have elevated those would be some sour cream drizzle. The salsa was nice - something a bit fruity (maybe cranberry?) I’ll need to ask the next time. My only other food critique would be on the Cuban sandwich. It was a bit fall-apart for me. I want it literally pressed and perhaps buttered on the bread. Turning a hoagie roll cut side out for toasting means a very smooth surface for the insides to slip off. And fall apart it did. More cheese, more sauce and plank pickles would be my suggestion. Along with a squeeze to set it all together a bit better. Flavors were great - especially the zip in the mustard! The nephew found a couple bites of our shared plates a bit spicy, but he thanked me for having him try...

Second time here. First time we went was a few months ago the bar service was understaffed with just a few people and a meh beer selection. We went to order food. They said most everything was gone from the menu. It was nibbles and pizza. Both the pizza and pretzels sticks were terrible. And took over an hour from the time we ordered. We thought we would give it another chance. Again just nibbles and pizza. We ordered fried pickles and pizza. First they give us the wrong pizza. The pizzas they tried to give us looked burnt, overly blackened to the point of looking like dried crispy chips. After telling them that those were not our pizzas they took them back. About 15 minutes later come to our table and ask us again what kind of pizzas we ordered. Again we tell them a pepperoni and a pepperoni with sausage. Not a hard menu item. Number 2 of trying to give us the wrong pizzas. So far we have been here 40 minutes. No pizzas and 2 attempts at giving us other people’s pizzas. Also asking again what we ordered. There is number on our table to let them know which order we are. This is ridiculous. Never coming to this...

Pretty upset really I like coffee. A LOT. So we went in and ordered 2 lattes from their coffee bar, there was 1 person in front of us when we walked in. Took more than 20 minutes to get our drinks.

Then we ordered this brownie. Asked for it to go. Came on a glass plate. It was NASTY. The texture was like it had sat there for a week, and the flavor was bitter. So we told them it wasn't good, and if we could swap it for something else.

The lady comes back saying she can't do anything about it. But she put it in a to-go box and gace us A COOKIE. So in exchange for our overpriced brownie we got a burnt cookie.

So I got upset. Left the brownie on the table (because again, I don't want that nastiness) and we left. Just realizing we hadn't even tried our drinks, we tried em, both just tasted like warm milk.

I got a mocha That had no taste of mocha

So on the way home I stopped by another coffee shop and got a real drink, throwing this places trash where it belongs....
