Smugglers Trail Caskworks (Brewery and Kitchen)

The only thing good about th1s place is the location. Long wait for a table. Longer wait for the meal. Food was not worth the price. My Club was two pieces of bread with a piece of battered chicken slice of tomato. My partners wrap was so so.

Kyler was the man

Nice beer hit the spot , happy hour has decent prices, great music and atmosphere it’s a Monday so not too busy , only downside staff seem to be more interested in yapping with themselves at the bar, seen several customers/patrons having to approach the bar to place their new or next order and ofc pay their tab. Fortunately I only had to wave over only once for service.
I had two choices for today’s sit and relax, I really didn’t choose wrong, the service glitch could be just shift change.

Really enjoyed this place! The beer was great and the food hit the spot. The owner was very nice and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I’ll definitely be back.

Food was good, my only concern is I overheard a manger tell a customer to get out of his face.
Very unprofessional in my opinion. In front of other customers was just awful.

Smuggler's donated their patio space (both outdoor and enclosed) for us to host a fundraiser this past weekend, and they were amazing start to finish! The initial conversations with Ryan were always responded to promptly and with everything we needed to know, and the day of was a huge success! Everyone made great comments on the food, drink, staff and venue. Thank you so much for everything, we will definitely be back!

**Edit: Wrote the review below 4 years ago. Came in again last night for the first time since and had a nearly identical experience: decent beer, terrible service, multiple issues with our order, food overpriced for what it is. Glad to see I haven't missed anything all this time**

Come for the beers but not much else. Service was inattentive, slow and forgetful. Meanwhile the wings were practically highway robbery at $18 for 8. We also had to remind our server about part of our order as it was forgotten about entirely (albeit I will say we weren't charged for it in the end). Ultimately with so many choices in the Langley beer scene, this wouldn't be my first choice.

I went in at 630pm on a Friday. Nice space, open concept with a nice patio. It wasn’t very busy there was 1 big group and 2 other tables full. Despite having 4 staff I could see working the service was extremely slow and struggled with getting our order right twice. It seems I was the only one who ordered food in the whole place but my burger and salad took 30mins to come anyway. The food was okay but honestly priced quite high for what it was. The beer was definitely the best part and the service and bathroom cleanliness was definitely the worst part. That was by far the most stained bowl in a toilet that I’ve seen at a restaurant/brewery in years

If I was to return I’d order my beer at the bar and not get food.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and provided attentive, yet unobtrusive service throughout the meal. Every detail, from the ambient lighting to the thoughtfully curated music, contributed to a relaxed and enjoyable vibe.
The food was the true highlight — each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients were clearly fresh, and the chef’s creativity was evident in both the presentation and taste.

This brewery nails everything from atmosphere to ales. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, with a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Whether you're a craft beer connoisseur or just beer-curious, this place has something for everyone.
The beer selection was top-notch — a fantastic range of styles, from crisp lagers to bold IPAs and rich stouts. Each pour was fresh, flavorful, and expertly brewed.

Beer is quite good. Service and food have been average at best every time (been numerous times).

Would have loved to try out the drinks and appetizers. But we were ignored by the server, left and returned home for faster service.

I really liked that the restaurant has a dog-friendly outdoor patio, and the food was delicious. However, there were a lot of bees swarming around, which made it quite uncomfortable to enjoy the meal.

It was our first visit at Smugglers trail, and we were pleasantly surprised! It's a hidden gem in walnut grove.
Have the artichoke and spinach dip, it's delicious!
Their wings are also fabulous!
Shout out to Courtney & Ryan for the great service! We'll be back for sure!

This place is great! Came by a couple weeks ago for lunch...their food and beer was amazing! We came back again for dinner tonight and everything was amazing again! Their staff is very friendly which is a big bonus. This has easily turned into our go to. Their Plush IPA beer is so good, hope they make it a core beer.

Delicious food with a diverse beer selection , served by friendly and attentive staff who cater to all your needs.
