    Alcohol, bartenders and servers were very attentive and did a great job. Unfortunately the food truck was not available for us that afternoon, so although the staff tried to call a food order into Wilders, it didn’t turn out well. The wait on the food was so much and much more than their staff told us and most of the party left before it came. My suggestion is just go there to drink. If you are looking for food and the food truck isn’t available then go somewhere else.

    Motorworks is always a good place to go to listen to great live music. Who could ask for anything more? Sitting outside under the stars/trees and twinkle lights. The staff is always the highlight of my time at Motorworks.

    This was our first time at Motorworks we came to listen to The Long Run and we were not disappointed.. We were promptly greeted upon arrival, led to our seats under a beautiful oak tree and we quickly greeted by our waiter. The menu and drink order offered a variety of foods and not only beer but a full bar. We all ordered different items and we were all pleased with our food, it was hot and good portions. The raspberry chocolate martini for dessert topped it off. The Long Run did not disappoint, once again! The crowd was energetic, lots of people dancing and just a great time overall! We will be back!

    I purchased tickets to see 22N on Saturday four hours before the concert. The show was canceled. Who knows why? They charged me an extra $10 to guarantee a table. WTH! Here it is Wednesday and I don't have my money back. I called three times with no response. I'll never buy tickets with them again!

    Bad experience booking a table - they changed the venue and didn’t reserve a table and they were charging $35 a person to get in- nothing was ever changed on the reservation- was suppose to be a Tom petty cover band for $10 a person - was never contacted - had to fight with management -to let us in for $10 a person and find our own table😕
