The “food truck”atmosphere/service caught me off guard, especially when the hostess is standing around anyways. She would make more money if they let her serve. To be asked to tip at the screen is wild. Ordered beer separately at the bar, michelada was okay. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich as the options were very limited. Fries sold separately. Buzzer finally went off and was annoyingly loud, couldn’t be silenced. I pick up the food and see a long wavy hair intertwined in the pork. Very disappointing. The pulled pork was too saucy and gave a crockpot texture. Fried onions were cold and stale and the pickled onion/cabbage lost texture, leaving the sandwich completely soggy. I had always wanted to stop here but left regretting the decision. The full grown dog dragging its butt on the table TOP outside was the “cherry on top” never again.

The staff are super nice and friendly and the vibe is just so awesome; a great place to grab a drink and some good food and chat it up with your own peeps or mix it up with the locals.

I will admit that my rating could be biased because I miss the Low and Slow BBQ that was there before. The food is okay. I will say their French fries are underdone. The tri-tip sandwich needed some BBQ sauce on it. The red curry soup is interesting. I guess it was supposed to be a fusion situation? Anyways, it is decent brewery food, but not what one was available at Mad River Brewery.

Love the stout and the people. If I had to live on one food only, it might be Paninis...

Stopped by recently for a bite at the new Mad River kitchen. Had the Cuban panini sandwich and it was outstanding. Pork was super tender and tasty, generous meat portions and overall delicious balance of traditional tastes. Washed down with some Steelheads.

Very rude buzzcut lady with tats, low quality food. Oh and you pay extra for every topping on your burger 1 star well deserved

We were two people, after a long drive and we thought we could eat this much. It was a lot, but it was good. Impossible to finish, though.The pulled pork and the wings were perfectly cooked. The brisket was not as good as we expected, but at least the overall vibe of the place made it all better. It was a laid back evening, with good music and a nice sunset.

Although we arrived close to closing, we still had a great experience. The first thing we noticed was the atmosphere! Everyone seemed to be enjoying the live band that was playing. Second thing to mention was the food. In addition to the food tasting fabulous, the proportions were surprisingly large! The cornbread balls with the honey butter, phenomenal! Staff was busy, but friendly. We look forward to coming back when they're not about to close to get the full experience!

We always enjoy our time in Blue Lake when Mad River Brewery is our destination. The draft root beer is on point and I can’t say enough about Low & Slow BBQ. It’s out of control!!! If you want a sunny escape and to be transported to BBQ and Beer Heaven… this is the spot.

Worst brewery experience I have ever had! Patio is nice (covered and also open end) but place was overrun by out of control kids (literally, running between tables, screaming, getting up on them, running behind people) and the parents or establishment did NOTHING. Although I politely ask the kids 3 times to not run behind me, it still happened repeatedly. . I know a few other patrons were also upset, but even when I asked the barkeeper for help, it just never happened. I was told by 4 other patrons, it ruined their time too. I simply will chalk this up to poor parenting and NEVER recommend this establishment.
