Tonight the staff was beyond busy. They managed how to get through the crowd and handle orders. The staff is top notch!
I have been here once before and was a positive experience until tonight when I returned. I asked the bartender if I can get a beer flight and he responded that they were out of flights. I replied are you serious and said he was and that I had to order a regular beer and i said I had to think about it. He said just pick one dude then order another after. I felt he was very unprofessional and we left. I will not be back.
Great beer, great vibes, and an awesome staff with the best beer garden in Chicagoland!
Wow nice little town...great time especially during October fest.
Amazing place and beer ? atmosphere for Oktoberfest was gorgeous
Great atmosphere,great beer and great service! German style beers with some great flavor!
I had my bridal shower at Buffalo Creek Brewing this past weekend and it was the best experience!
Mike was very responsive in answering my questions leading up to the day, and our service day of was fantastic. The menu they provided for the day was a great mix of beers, cider, seltzers and craft sodas for guests of all ages and palates to enjoy. Many of our guests shared that they had never been there before and will be returning. Perfect space to hold our 40+ group and beautiful day outside too to enjoy the patio.
Amazing vibe at this place. The backyard is so cool that I felt like I was in the Colorado mountains
Wonderfully helpful bar tender. Great selection of German style beers and the beer garden was large and peaceful. Final selection was the Red Headed Stepchild with strawberry jam undertones and worked for me.
I had the best time at this place with my best friend Lauren. We enjoyed the beer & had the most amazing bartender Helene . She was so knowledgeable and helpful with the different types of beers and great with the recommendations! Lauren really loves beer & this is her new favorite spot for a pint after work! Can’t wait to catch up with Helene next time we visit!

We tried to go the weekend of car show. The guy would not let me park in handicap parking spot near brewing, so we could not go as I am handicap with a walker. Walking long distance is difficult for me.
Great place, lots of outdoors space, and really good beers.
Great tasting German beer.
I have been to and reviewed many breweries on the North Shore and this is the only one I have been to where my wife and my dog were verbally accosted by fellow patrons of the brewery and where the staff of the brewery were either indifferent to that behavior or actively condoned it.
It was a beautiful day today so my wife, our infant son and dog made our way to the beer garden at Buffalo Creek Brewing. We had been here before and knew the beer garden to be dog friendly. When we arrived, we found a seat (our dog sat under the table) and we were attended to and served very quickly which was great.
As we were sitting and enjoying our flights, a random Aussie shepherd walked past us off leash. This made my dog get anxious, but the dog walked on without coming up to us. A few minutes later the dog came near our table and my wife stood up shoo the dog away. It growled at either her or my dog causing my dog to bark and I had to remove her from the situation. My wife called to the owner of the dog and asked him to come get his dog so our dog could return to the table. He grudgingly did so and returned to where he was standing. He and his friend then continuously stared in our direction muttering. It was obvious they were talking about us and judging by their faces, it was not anything positive.
Maybe 15 mins later the dog again walked by and this time the owner walked past us as well and called my "Karen" to her face. She replied asking him to be respectful to others and he told her to "f--k off". He did this with waitstaff looking on and they did nothing. Not a word was said to him.
I went to our waiter and immediately asked for the check and described what happen. He apologized and said that the man was a "regular" and that this hadn't happened before. That was it, not a "we'll talk to him" or "that was inappropriate". They did literally nothing. This man felt comfortable enough to say this to my wife in front of our newborn son because he knew that being a "regular" meant he had carte blanche to act however he saw fit.
We left before anything could escalate as the two men looked like they wanted to make more trouble. Needless to say, we will never be coming back and I highly recommend you do not patronize this establishment. There are breweries in the area that guarantee their patron's safety and also brew better beer than this place.
Great beer and place to hang out with friends!
