Bent River Brewing Company

Great restaurant! I enjoyed sampling their house brews and the food was great. They were up front about being short staffed, but the service was still excellent! I love that they gave the option to buy a round for the kitchen to show some appreciation. The kitchen staff seemed pretty excited judging by the excited yells and banging that they gave when they found out that someone bought them a round. Bottom line - this is a fun place to eat with good food, reasonable prices, and GREAT brews!

Have been meaning to go here for awhile now, and finally got to go for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Parking was easy and directly in front of the building, and the outside was inviting & tastefully done. Large interior with a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Service was very good (had Sarah), and the beer and alcohol options were plentiful & varied (seasonal beers, out of the area bottles and drafts, as well as a large selection of mules). The food was good, especially the appetizers. Bathrooms were clean and easy to find. And they offer growlers and beer club mugs as well. Will be going back to try some of the things I wasn't able to try.

Pros: Beautiful building Some good, unique beers Buffalo chicken wrap and salad Blue cheese burger Sweet potato fries like having dessert Cons: Slow service (only one person running the whole place) Beef on the steak nachos was unseasoned and flavorless Cherry limeade cocktail was all cherry, no lime, and weak Cucumber G & T made sweet with simple syrup not shown on the menu Lots of flies All tables had unbussed dishes for 40 minutes Hot sauce was expired for over a year When we pointed out the issues, the server was defensive and reluctant to involve a manager. Made us feel as if our standards are too high. But we had a great experience a couple hours later at Parkside Brewing Company 10 minutes away, so I’d recommend going there instead.

First time here and I'm not impressed. Both my onion rings and French fries were under cooked and luke warm. Both of our burgers were to be medium and came out well done. Both the strawberry blond and raspberry wheat tasted good but could of used a more fruity taste. They've done well cleaning up the place and the nachos were great.
