From the kitchen
Burgers, pizza, and chicken sandwiches
Jam on a burger? Yup. Pineapple on pizza? Only if you also add in some sweet chili sauce as the base. A chicken sandwich with dill pickles, home made street corn sauce, and honeybutter? Sounds weird enough for us! We also have a plain burger on the menu, but you would be doing yourself a disservice if that is what you come here to order.
Our Best Selling Dish
A toasted brioche bun, quarter-pound seasoned patty, Swiss cheese, goat cheese crumbles, blackberry jam, bacon, and caramelized onions. Our top selling burger. Your new favorite.
Blackberry Bam-A-Lam Burger
Honey butter on a toasted oversized brioche bun, house-made Chihuahua street-corn sauce, pepper jack cheese, thick bacon, and pickle chips on a jumbo fried chicken breast.
Krazy Chicken
We build this one starting with our beer crust, sweet chili sauce base, house pizza cheese blend, grilled chicken, caramelized onion, and large juicy chunks of pineapple. This is the pizza you have been waiting for.
Pineapple Proclamation Pizza
PB&(J) Burger
Only here for the month of November. Come get it while you can.
PB&(J) BurgerSink your teeth into the PB&(J) Burger, a nod to President Jimmy Carter's Georgia peanut roots, where a savory bratwurst patty nestles beneath melted cheddar on a pillowy brioche bun. The velvety PB bacon sauce weaves creamy peanut richness with smoky bacon jam depth, punctuated by crisp bacon bits that deliver bursts of salt and crunch against the tangy snap of pickle chips. This bold fusion elevates pub fare into a memorable bite that balances sweet, savory, and bright notes in every layer.
Smoke and Honey Pizza
Only here for the month of November. Come get it while you can.
Smoke and Honey PizzaSavor the perfect union of smoky bacon bits and sharp red onions atop a base of garlic confit and melted mozzarella on our house-made pizza dough. A finishing drizzle of hot honey and pinch of black pepper creates an irresistible sweet-heat contrast against the rich, savory layers, delivering a crisp-yet-chewy bite that commands attention. This special at Presidential Brewing Company proves worthy of any commander's table.

Nights out, from a pint to a show
When you come to Presidential, you are going to have a great time. It’s what we do. We build nights where a bad putt gets a cheer, a show gets strangers singing, and you leave with a friend you did not walk in with.
Did you get a great photo during your visit? We would love to feature it here! Send it our way and you might end up on the board.
