So the first day we went there for just a couple beers. Sat outside, plenty of space if weather is nice. Good beer. On the fallowing day we went back after hiking all day, needed some food. Ordered a couple beers, different flavors from before, and two bowls. Food was very tasty and beer was good as well. If we would have something like this by our house, we would definitely stop by once in a while.

Didn't try any food, but the vibes and beers we had at Bonsai were top notch. The outdoor space was large and had tons of seating, and the indoor bar area had an inviting atmosphere. The options on tap were also pretty varied which is great to see.

I may have just eaten the best burger of my life. It had blue cheese crumbles, fresh red onion, a soft-but-toasted bun, fresh lettuce, some tasty sauce and made me want another the moment I finished it. I am not exaggerating! I got my burger with the side of pasta salad and it was also delicious and unique - not typical BBQ pasta salad fare. My wife got the special of the day, an Asian salad. She is gluten-free and their menu was very clear about allergies and staff was very knowledgeable. There is a cozy indoor seating area and outside for the warmer months they have large lawn areas to dine outside. They have kid menus available. They do most of their cooking outside at a grill during the warmer months, but still have food options in the winter with just a modified menu (but still sounds like some good options!). We definitely will be coming back!
