Reviews
We had a party of 20 and the staff was great! There was an awesome selection of beers, and we enjoyed them. We did enjoy the jalapeno tots and the burgers looked great.
We ordered food to go, and that was a real disappointment. The portions were very small. When you pay $20.00 for a brisket sandwich you might expect it to be bigger than a McDouble!! The brisket and pork were dry and needed the sauce to make it work. The sandwiches came with 2 sides each. The fries and tots were thrown into 1 box. Not real appealing. I would not order the brisket or pork sandwiches again. The place is clean and loved the staff. We will give it another try sometime.
I recently visited a brewing restaurant, and let me tell you, finding the place was quite the challenge. There were no signs outside indicating the business name, so I had to drive around the area until I noticed a gathering of people in one spot. That's when I realized I had found it.
Once I walked in, I was pleased to see that the place was clean and well-maintained. The first thing that caught my attention was the wide selection of beers available to try. As a beer lover, this excited me and I couldn't wait to sample some of them.
To start off, I ordered the Mac and cheese. Sadly, it didn't meet my expectations. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. On the other hand, the American burger I had was fantastic. It was juicy and flavorful, and I especially enjoyed it with a side of BBQ beans. The onion rings were also a hit, crispy and delicious.
The restaurant offers outdoor seating in the back, which was a nice touch. I appreciated being able to enjoy my meal while also exploring the area where they brew their own beer. It added to the overall experience.
However, there was one aspect of my visit that left a sour taste in my mouth - the customer service. I witnessed a few guys asking for samples of the beers before making a purchase. The lady behind the counter gave the first two individuals samples without any hesitation. However, when the guy waiting behind them asked for a sample, she flat out refused, saying that no samples were available. He then requested a sample of a different beer, only to be denied again. I found this kind of treatment to be disrespectful and disappointing.
Considering this experience, I personally don't think I will be returning to this brewing restaurant anytime soon.
Great food and great beer. Service is always excellent; the staff is friendly and very helpful. Food quality and selection will please everyone. Prices arenβt cheap but not too expensive either. There are three different seating areas: downstairs inside, upstairs or an outdoor patio. There are games upstairs so we like to sit up there. You place your order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. They offer samples of any of their brewed beverages so you can try them out before ordering. You can order anything on the menu and be happy. A casual spot for great food and awesome craft beer.
OMG! If you haven't yet, you've gotta try it. The food is amazing, and the meat is so tender. My only advise is if you don't like beer, try the sample tray.
Love this place. Great food and amazing beer. The Groupon makes it extra nice. Fyi the brisket is the bomb! I highly recommend it. Our beers were amazing. Great staff with quick and friendly service. Went I again 6/25/23 for brunch. I highly recommend getting something from the brunch menu. I had chicken fried steak and it was amazing! Also bought a jar of the maple Chipotle sauce. That did is so good!
Back again and this time I got the hot mess chicken waffle. Straight up π₯we also go the brisket jam burger. There are no words for this one other than one of the best burgers I've ever had.
My favorite local mom & pop brewery. I remember coming here when the owner's kids were children, now they greet you at the register, help cook, and take your orders.
Please take a moment to look over the family pictures and read Brian and Martha Thompson's family story on their wall inside.
Thompson Brewing has some great stuff. It has been awarded best burger, best brew pub, and best brewery.
There are games to play and some comics to read. This location has plenty of hangout space, including a large outside patio, downstairs, and upstairs seating.
250 plus seats.
If you are a first-timer, i recommend finding their groupon and giving Thompsons a chance. π€
Food items that are delightful:
Truffle fries, Buffalo chicken sandwich, beer battered onion rings, brisket sandwich, ribs, hickory smoke pork fries, Wagyu burger, tots, the mess chicken sandwich, nachos, brisket baked beans. π

Family and pet friendly!ππΆπ¨βπ©βπ¦βπ¦π§‘
Solidly good food!! Everything I ordered was delicious. Got a garlic aioli wagyu burger with fries, a side salad and creme soda. Not pictured were tasty fried pickles my husband and I shared. Brewpub is on the pricey side but definitely worth it in taste. I will go back again.
Hidden gem!!! Food exceeded my expectation the 1st time we stopped by and time after time has never disappointed. Beer is brewed in house and the pub burger and Rueben sandwich are both a must!
Family friendly, plenty of seating inside, upstairs and out back. Family owned and operated very busy and friendly. Lots of board games, a giant connect 4 and even a wall sized scrabble.
