Idyllwild Brewpub

I usually don't expect much from brewery food, but this place serves food with the quality of a fine restaurant. Over two visits I tried the avocado ponzu salad, the seasonal spring salad (without the goat cheese), the cream of mushroom soup, and the brussel sprouts. Everything was phenomenal. The staff was very knowledgeable about vegan options. Sad to see some reviewers had a negative experience but it seems like they have made a lot of improvements since those reviews.

Killer food. Great beer. Wonderful waitstaff

Not really my kind of place. Went with friends. No good for people on anti-inflammatory diet. Choose carefully. Very, very noisy. Hard to communicate if you're hard of hearing, even with hearing aids.

Parking: Parking is below and open.

I wasn’t too impressed with my appetizer and meal, although the portions on the fries was ample. However, the dessert was huge and absolutely delicious! Blondie sundae with whipped cream, honeycomb candy, and vanilla honey drizzle. I’d go back just to have that again.

The location is nice. You do have to go up some stairs to get there, but, if you sit outside, you’re right by the trees. Of course, it’s a pub, so there’s still loud music.

The service was great at first. They took my order and brought my food very quickly, but once I finished my burger, I had to wait a while before someone came to take my dessert order.

Parking: I parked below, following signs on the road. I then had to go up a couple flights of stairs to the entrance.

Interesting and unusual decor. Great food! Biscuits and jam homemade Delicious. Bacon cooked to crisp perfection. Fruit bowl was colorful and flavorful( great assorted fruits). A must dine destination!

Came here in part because of the many positive reviews but that certainly was not my experience. Overall, the menu is uninspired, just basic burgers and fried stuff. Expensive ($9+/pint), mediocre beers. Cobb salad has peas instead of avocado, obvious money-saving move but not doing them any favors. Salmon was tiny, farmed, and quite bland. Dressing was watery.

The worst part was the service. Not sure if our waitress was having a bad day but she was unbelievably rude. The salad was underdressed, I'm talking bone dry, so went to ask for more dressing on the side. She never came back to check in, so I got up and approached her at the staff station where she was on her phone. Asked for the dressing and explained the situation and she just blankly stared at me and with a certain tone said she'd "get right on it." 20 minutes pass since she brings the dressing and we still haven't been checked on, and all we wanted was the check. I told my gf that I wasn't going to approach her again, so she went up to the staff station and asks if we can get the check. The waitress looks her up and down and again with the tone says "uh huh." I pay cash but when she brings the change, it's just bills, she just decided for whatever reason we didn't need the coin change, which was about 40 cents. Maybe she just assumed I'd be leaving it as part of her tip, which I thought that was strange but was glad to leave. I can't in good conscience recommend this place to anyone.

Awesome Brewpub situated in the middle of a beautiful mountain town! Take in the pines while sipping on an ice cold beer or delightful fruity beverage from the large outside deck. The service is great, the food is tasty and drinks keep flowing!

Savanah our server is awesome! Felt like an old friend. Food views are beautiful

I've been here a couple of times. I really love their salmon salad a lot. My in laws like this place and some of them live up Idyllwild, so we visit sometimes. The food is always great and the servers are nice!

The only thing is, we wish the seating areas were more spacious. Especially outside seating because some of my in-laws struggle to walk through because it's so narrow. They hate having to ask people to move their chair in.

Parking is not too bad! We rarely had any issues every time we came.

Loved the vibe, food and beers! We stopped by for a late lunch and the place was quite busy. The service was friendly and quick. We asked for few modifications in food and it was incorporated. The place is pet friendly as we see many guests, dinner with their pets. Really cool hang out place !
