Santa Claus Brewing Co.

There was one person working that night so she had to take orders cook food work the bar...literally everything and Fat Santa across the street closed early so it was at least 5 or 6 groups there. (We were group 2). So atmosphere gets 1 start it don't seem they tried to make the place look nice at all and it smelled like basmen. One wall have a bunch on coloring pages and it's just didn't look very nice. Service I give 3 stars. Not because of how long it took (and it did take well over an hour) but because we was limited on what we could order and it really was no way for the only person there to pay us any attention. Food we will give them 3 stars. It was ok but not anything I would recommend or even feel the need to try again. We got wings pizza and cheese sticks....hot wings was the best. Sorry I did not take pictures but by time the food came fam was too ready to eat. Also not trying to bad mouth this place just giving my honest review from my experience

I guess this is the local watering hole and if you’re a regular, you’ll get good service. Otherwise it’s just a run down, small town bar. We were in town for the weekend and thought it would be fun to visit a Santa-themed bar. Unfortunately, our server is probably overworked and under-payed (no fault of his own) and he clearly would’ve rather been anywhere else. Don’t bother looking at the online menu, that’s not what they have. They will tell you what limited options they have for the day or you can get your own water out of the Gatorade cooler in the center of the dining room. Anyway, if you’re a visitor, don’t bother.

So recently I visited this establishment and I would highly recommend going anywhere else but here unless you are a resident or a friend of one of the staff members. The menu looked COMPLETELY different than it does online. They didn’t even try with the Christmas themed decor which is insane considering they are basically right outside of Holiday World. The restaurant looks like it’s a school cafeteria with a small gift shop that looks extremely out of place. There was a massive jug of water right in the middle so yeah if you want a water not only do you need to get it yourself which I thought was fine at first but I took one sip of this not at all iced water it tasted like they had either either scooped from a pond or a puddle. Did I mention the staff yet? No. Okay let me tell you about the staff. The waitress was extremely rude from the very beginning my mother asked for a lemon in her Iced Tea and she immediately said no with such a sassy attitude. Also don’t come with kids because when I went it took 45 minutes to an hour to get appetizers not the meal APPETIZERS. I normally wouldn’t have minded a wait for food but not only did the table who came in 15 minutes after me get their food first and if we already didn’t have an already horrible experience with our waitress she slams and I do mean SLAMS the appetizers on the table as we got up to leave and then she starts arguing with me and my mother. We didn’t even eat at this place that’s how terrible the service is. Also I would like to point out that I’m not usually this harsh about a restaurant I love supporting these non chain restaurants but this restaurant honestly probably would be great if it wasn’t for the staff members who immediately started talking bad about me and my mother after we left. I honestly wish I could give this a half star because a full star seems to generous compared to how the staff acted.

Wow! This guy’s opinion? Five stars for comedy, zero for food. If I could give negative stars, I’d be digging a hole. Opened the pizza box when I got home expecting dinner, but instead got a charred disaster that smelled like someone set a tire on fire. Not even a whiff of actual pizza just pure, smoky regret.

The crust? A beautiful tribute to burnt offerings. The cheese? Cooked to the point of becoming a chewy, inedible mystery substance. My hungry kids, bless their souls, tried to gnaw around the disaster zone like it was some kind of survival challenge.

But wait it gets better. After all that, we’re supposed to tip? For what, exactly? For not providing the simple services as requested.
If you mess up, apologize for the wait and fix it, don’t send this crap out the door.

Let’s not forget the $60 burger-and-fries incident. Four people. One tiny pile of fries each. Burgers that made gas station sandwiches look gourmet. Honestly, next time I’ll swing by the freezer aisle or hit up McDonald’s at least their food tastes like it’s supposed to, and doesn’t fill my house with the scent of despair.

So thanks for the unforgettable experience. And you’re welcome for the money I unknowingly donated to help you continue serving food like this to others.

My family and I had a terrible experience on 7/10. With only one or two workers, it probably took 40 minutes to get are food out to us. Then they only had 2 or 3 drinks on tap and you have to go to the bar to ring the bell for assistance.

We came here tonight and it was very good. The waitress was extremely nice and very attentive. They have a pretty basic menu but it was delicious. The waffle fries were very good and I highly recommend them! I didn't have the steak fries, both those looked good as well. They have canned soda and beer, but a few options for draft too.

We come here once a year every year. The bartender even recognizes us, that’s the type of service to expect here. You are going to be taken care of and you are going to feel welcomed. And I have never had a bad product. Have I had products I dont like because of my tastes? Yes, but they are all quality products. Please make this a stop on your visit to Santa Claus.
