Food was amazing the place looks amazing with the cow design. It might have been an unusually busy day when I went but when you tell staff you are ready to order when asked then takes like 8 minutes to get back to you is a little annoying. Food came out fast once ordered though. Will try again just hope for better service

Only thing wrong with this place was the politically charged, defaced American flag flying out front.

NOT dog friendly, does state on the website but definitely not CLEARLY.
They do CLEARLY tell you the moment you arrive that dogs are not allowed anywhere on their property and treat you poorly for your mistake.
Please see the copied and pasted question and evasive “answer” below:
Do you allow pets on the patio or in the beer garden?
We love dogs, we are dog people. Todd has raised and trained working dogs, was a police dog handler for eight years, and supervised the RPD canine unit for three years after that but, only certified service animals are allowed on HCB property.
At no point in the answer does the word NO or NOT appear, the only time the word ALLOWED appears it is preceded by the word ARE.
To CLEARLY answer the question, the first line of the “answer” should say “No, unfortunately we do not allow dogs anywhere on our property .”
They have it backwards. When you accidentally arrive with your dog they should start with telling you about how much they love dogs, and how sorry they are that they can no longer allow dogs on their property. We apologize that you made the trip and hope you will return again without your furry friend to give us a try. Here is a coupon for $5 off your next visit. With very little effort they could take a potentially negative situation and turn it into a positive, gaining a customer for life.
Instead management would rather be right than hospitable or compassionate.
Their take is to basically say get out , do not return with or without your dog and tell all of your friends and family that they should not ever come here either.
Sad, it’s a beautiful location and has great potential but service is clearly not a priority based on our experience and the many other reviews on multiple platforms.
Todd’s responses so far to any reviews other than completely positive ones have been clearly condescending. Can’t wait to see his response to this review, or lack there of.
So goes the leader, so goes the culture.

NOT dog friendly. Website really gives the impression it is. Especially the giant outdoor yard on the side and outdoor patio. Girl who told us was very rude. If you have a dog with you look else where. Cant say anything about the food or beer but that was enough for me to not want to return. ?

Loved visiting this place! The cheesecake was amazing!
When you go to a brewery, of course you expect beer! And this place has some pretty good beer! But when you travel with a non beer drinker, they may not be happy! Here’s what makes this place great - they have something for everyone, including some great coffee and darn good cheesecake! And looking over the river to the fall colors is pretty good, too! A great place!

I really dig that place. Been to Sparta four times in 2019 and made sure to stop in each time.
Kid-friendliness: Unfortunately, it is kid friendly. I'm not a big fan of that, but if you have them, you can bring them.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs other than those going out to the grassy area.
Great selection of pizzas. VERY loud space.
