Food is always great. We were seated this last time and I think they forgot about us, took almost 20 minutes for someone to take our order. Everytime I've gone the last few years the place seems dead.
Parking: A few spots in front, was used for valet back in the day but unsure if they are still doing that. If there is no parking you need to park in the main lot for the shopping center (near Boudin) and walk over.
Kid-friendliness: Kids menu includes fish and chips, mac and cheese, etc.

9/27/24 STOPPED BY FOR LUNCH WITH A FRIEND AND THE PLACE WAS EMPTY. THAT SHOULD OF OF TOLD US TO TURN AROUND AND GO SOMEPLACE ELSE. THE GOAT CHEESE SALAD WAS GOOD BUT SO SMALL FOR THE PRICE OF $15.00. WE BOTH HAD THE MAC AND CHEESE WHICH WAS VERY DRY. THE FOOD WAS GREAT HERE YEARS AGO, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WILL NOT COME BACK.

Good beer selection, food was okay but didn't knock my socks off.
Parking: Limit spots next to the restaurant, just park in one of the ramps/lots around the shopping center.

This brewery is always a great place to go. They have a nice outside patio and are dog friendly. The service is great and you always feel welcome. The prices are reasonable too.

Great neighborhood place. Changed website and the way they do online orders. It's super confusing now.

Walked in to grab some brew. Fridges were nearly empty. How do you not stock your own beer??

We stopped by for lunch. The place was pretty empty and that’s fine. I didn’t like the menu here though. We paid about $20 for a slice of watermelon with what looked like Tajin powder. The truffle fries wreaked of garlic and had very little mushroom. The food was not anything to write home about. I asked for their hazy and they were out as well. Idk, maybe some people like this place but I’d rather have gone to the Boudin bakery for a sandwich.

Why did you get rid of the grass-fed pub burger. That was the best burger I have ever had in my life. I craved that burger at least once a month. Biggest mistake ever made by a restaurant. The regular pub burger doesn't even come close to the grass fed. Service and atmosphere are great. So disapointed right now. I lost my favorite burger. If you ever bring it back please let me know I will be the first one there.

Karl Strauss is 5 stars I don’t care who you are! 3 of us had dinner and drinks. Blackened Tuna tacos are big and tasty. The pub burger was a good burger. The food truck burger also good. Mac and cheese a treat. However the boneless sweet Chile garlic wing stole the show.For drinks we had the Poseidon stout - awesome smooth stout!
