We had a group party there for about 50 people in the back room. The food is phenomenal, it was a great venue especially at Christmas - it is decorated so nicely. The planning is very simple, easy, and customizable. The backroom is great for more private events and if you have a presentation etc. The Beer Garden is a great spot too for a more casual gathering. This is our second year and will probably continue each year!

There was absolutely no Homeless man abuse...
Nathan...
Is a complete liar.
I have been living and knowing the restaurant and the workers at this establishment for 8 yrs..
Never ever have the workers do any such action against a person of Homeless near the restaurant.
This restaurant is excellent and food service employees are kind.

Terrible place. The people who work there are not good people. They sprayed a man with a hose in 30 degree whether then pushed him down and pepper sprayed him

We used the private room in the back of the restaurant for a rehearsal dinner. Ellee was great to work with and everything went perfectly. The night of the event they were set up and ready for our party of 33. Our server was very attentive and patient with our drinks as we all kept moving around. The space was plenty big and we even walked through the ceremony before we ate. The buffet of salad, appetizers, pizza and sandwiches was perfect. A great variety for everyone. They even accommodated our need for gluten and dairy free pizzas. I would highly recommend using their private room!

Service was good, food was very bland, no flavoring at all. No bread was brought to table.
Just recently had a gathering for my birthday here and it was great! The food is always good and the staff was great as usual. Everyone who came (who hadn't been before) said they had a really good time and they loved the food and space. S/o to you guys #

My recent visit to Beer City Bread was a 1/5 and if I could leave a lower review I would.
To start off, we had a group of 12 people and when we called to make the reservation they told us they could accommodate such a large group. Instead, we were seated at a single table with 12 chairs in the front of the restaurant. Unfortunately, a massive white block (appearing to be some kind of machinery) split the table down the middle, isolating our group. My parents, visiting from out of town, were seated on the other side, making it impossible for us to enjoy a meal together. This setup was frustrating and poorly planned.
The private event space is on the opposite side of the restaurant (there is a partition blocking it off) and they had an event going on that night. In the middle of our dinner we hear a very loud marching band playing on the other side. I wish I was exaggerating but that is what it sounded like due to how loud it was. Despite a partition, the noise was overwhelming and completely disrupted our dinner service. It seems extremely inconsiderate that they would allow such a thing while other guests are dining.
While I understand that serving a group of 12 might take additional time for food and drinks, waiting over an hour for our meals was excessive. To make matters worse, our waitress forgot my drink order twice.
Just be mindful that bread also comes with the tables (according to our hostess) but you have to specifically ask for it. This seems like such a strange policy, that should come out first when drinks are ordered.
I ordered tacos, assuming they’d come assembled like any other restaurant I have been to. Instead, I was given a plate of separated ingredients and had to assemble them myself. The menu failed to clarify this, which was disappointing. I wouldn’t have ordered them if this had been clearly listed on the menu.
The side of the table that I was on initially didn't come with silverware when we were sat. When we asked the hostess, she informed us they’d run out and offered no immediate solution, forcing us to share with others in our group. To make matters worse, not even half an hour later, we saw her rolling silverware—while eating! Watching her handle supposedly clean napkins with her fingers mid-meal was incredibly unsanitary and alarming.
The combination of poor seating arrangements, disruptive noise, long wait times, forgotten orders, unclear menu descriptions, and unsanitary practices made this one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had. While the food was great once it arrived, it was overshadowed by the numerous missteps throughout the evening. I certainly have no intention of going back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ definitely worth a stop!!
Our party of 3 had a chance to visit Beer City Bread Co. for the first time. We immediately enjoyed the decor, vibes and warmth. Staff was friendly and welcoming. There is a nice patio for seasonal seating.
We had the opportunity to try several dishes, some missed the mark and others were incredible!! Starting with the appetizers- the beer cheese pretzel bites are served with beer cheese and mustard for dipping, both were tasty. The pretzels were denser than expected. We also tried the Brussels sprout appetizer which was also a little off- somewhat burnt, somewhat tough. The dinner entrees and dessert were stars of the show! Both the pizza and risotto dishes were phenomenal. Then the whiskey business cake was the highlight of my experience.
Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a full meal, the experience is truly enjoyable. With such a great setting and top-notch service, it’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy good food. Beer City Cheese Co is a gem!! Highly recommended!

Ahmaaaazing! We had a baby shower here and it was just excellent. Our server Ollie was very friendly and accommodating. Our 22 guests all raved about the food and the new decor is open and roomy. Top notch service from all the workers. Thank you for a wonderful memory. 🥰

Fantastic food and service. Was in town for work and ended up eating here twice. Pretty robust menu and good food. Would recommend over any chain if you are looking for a great local spot.

Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to the last two.
**Food: The fries were stale and hard. The nachos were inedible due to huge chunks of pork. It was a pile of mess. The pizza was tasty but very few, toppings and a little burnt.
**Service: The woman who seated us was clearly in a bad mood. Our server was also in a bad mood and didn't want to be bothered with us.
As a result, we left in a bad mood as well. I don't think we will be back.

Been coming here for a few weeks now for happy hour, and I gotta say the signs don't lie they really do have incredible happy hour deals, both food and drinks. Personal highlights have been the pizza and the pulled pork sandwich, although I do have to say I'm not a huge fan of the beer cheese. The flavor is awesome but it's a little too thin, especially if you get it on the nachos rather than with the pretzels. Overall tho big fan and will keep coming back
