But the root beer is very nice, and Filbert's is a class act. You'll be proud to fill your fridge with their drinks.

When last I went to NN it was still a considerable ride away. But now? A mere jaunt down to Irving. I thought their BBQ was gassy, a little overcooked, and like most northern BBQ, not woody enough. That was a couple of years ago and it's obviously time for a retest. > >Support your local root beer maker! > > Go. Run, don't walk, to S. Ashland. Better yet, bring a car with a > big trunk.
