“ A great find with delicious food! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about their draft selections, even giving recommendations. The food portions were huge and everything was so good. ”
“ The Brewery shares the parking lot with the Fairfield Inn. We have stayed at the Fairfield a few times but have never went over. This time we did. We were not really hungry so we just got finger foods. First off went you walk in go wow with all of the whiskeys and other distilled products and the many beers that they will fill up your growlers with. The service was prompt and friendly. This is a relatively new building and it looks nice. They have a barrel club where you can join and create with their help your own flavored whiskey and age it there. May be something we try later. The bathrooms are nice bright and clean. There is a lot of room to accommodate large parties. The food and drinks were outstanding. While we didn’t eat a lot we observed all of the items brought out and they looked good. If you’re in the area of passing through this is a good stop and it’s right off the freeway and a very nice area to enjoy. ”
“ Had a wonderful experience here on Saturday night! On advice from one of the employees I ordered the prime rib and it was fantastic. I also was given some samples of alcohol while I waited for my to go order. The employee that helped me was so great and friendly! I ended up buying some incline cider that I didn’t plan on buying but because the taste was so great I thought it was worth it. Definitely would recommend the prime rib and the cider! ”
“ Had a great time here, popping over from Great Wolf Lodge for lunch. Loved the kids menu options (and colouring), service was friendly, and the food was awesome. Delicious beer cheese soup, and the fried chicken entree was fantastic! ”
“ It was pretty busy but we were told we just missed the rush. Our server was great. The service was on point. We tried an appetizer and a couple meals. We walked away feeling good with our bellies full and 3 boxes of food to take home. The mac and cheese was cheesy. The French dip is worth going back for. The meat made the sandwich. They made a beautiful chicken dinner with homemade mashed potatoes and green beans. There was a sampler plate with smoked salmon and cheeses that did not disappoint. ”
“ Sat in the bar today, and the service was awesome! We were greatest within 5 minutes of sitting down, got our drink quickly, and were checked up on often! We ordered the porch chops, rueben, and juicy Lucy burger! The pork chops were so juicy and had amazing flavor, and the sandwiches were top-notch! ”
“ When we went in the hostess informed us that they were in the middle of shift change an got us waters until the waitress came out. When she came out she promptly took our drink order and appetizers. I was a bit disturbed that she put her breast in my man's face without any acknowledgement and she smiled. The food is impeccable, great flavor although a bit much on the oil with the Salmon and collard greens. ”
“ We ordered pulled pork sandwich and salad. It was delicious. The restaurant has a good seating capacity, both indoor and outdoor. Service is good and restaurant is clean. ”
