I have came a few different times and the service amazing! The rotating offerings of beers is great. Personally I LOVE the boozy slushy! I look forward to new offerings every time I come in! The food amazing! You MUST try the Grilled cheese WITH brisket! And do not forget your tangy bbq!

I’ve visited this place for its beers but never tried their food. I had the Brisket jam burger and truffle fries with garlic sauce. The burger was delicious, and the garlic sauce complemented the fries. The honey blond was refreshing with a subtle honey flavor.

Lots of seats all over and very spacious- we went outside because we have a kiddo that likes to run and play! They have board games too, more for adults. My husband got the German lager and he liked it a lot (he’s normally a Mexican lager guy), and I got the peach seltzer and loved it!

Husband and I got a flight and every single drink was delicious. I prefer hazy IPAs and he likes sours, but across the board they were great. Burgers were awesome, nice meat quality and balance of flavors. Try the fried pickles if you like those, they are the rounds not the spears. Employees were kind, helpful, and really made my Saturday night. Only left me wondering why they stop serving so early? I think more people would hang out and order more if they stayed open later!

One of the best brewery experiences I’ve ever had! The food was awesome, the beer was great, and the service made me feel like they really cared about my business. Although I don’t live in the area, I’ll definitely be coming back here every time I visit Riverside!

It’s rare to find a place where customer service is a priority & here as soon as you walk in the door you’re greeted by kind staff that are willing to answer your questions & make sure you have a good time. The food was delicious. We ordered Chicken Hot Mess & the Pub Burger. Both tasted great & were good portions. Would definitely visit again.

Went here with a friend. Service was great, but after that things didn't go so well. I ordered the brisket mac n cheese, which the brisket was OK but the Mac was inedible. No flavor and a chalky texture. My friend got the buffalo chicken sandwich, which she said was good but messy. The place itself looked a bit rundown and haphazard. Only 1 TV in the whole place. It is nice that they bring the food to your table (since you order at counter). However, ice machine was down, out of sour cream, some soda was out. Overall I would not likely come here again. Although, it was a brewery and neither of us got a beer. So I cannot speak to that.

Everything we had was delicious Cali burrito, brkfst totes, pud burger. And it’s all cooked with Tallow! They also have their own crafted sodas. It’s kid & dog friendly environment.
