This is a nice place. The beer is good. The service is okay. They have food, I didn't eat. There was no atmosphere, the brewery was empty. The beer is good though. So it's a good stop.
Let me start by saying that the beer was good and the food was great. However, the service was some of the worst I've ever experienced.
We arrived before a show across the street at the Strand...we were told there would be a bit of a wait but we were seated almost immediately. It went downhill from there.
Once the three of us were seated, we watched everyone around us get waited on, including a table a foot away from us. That waiter didn't even acknowledge us. No 'someone will be right with you' or 'let me get someone for you'.
After about 20 minutes, one of us finally went up to the man who had seated us and let him know. He apologized and grabbed a waitress and asked her to serve us. She made a face like she was not very happy about it.
She came over, brought us a carafe of water, and apologized saying that the man who seated us doesn't do that job very often. She took our order, we ordered two beers and a Coke, and we waited.
Food came...not fast, not slow. Food was great.
Our water was gone for several minutes before the waitress brought more. She never stopped to ask how our food was, we had to flag her down to get more beers, she never asked my son if he wanted a refill on the Coke, never asked if we needed anything else.
We got the bills (two separate) and they had taken a $7 beer off of each, which was nice, but not enough to make up for the service.
We enjoyed the food and wanted to try more beers as well as another appetizer or dessert but weren't given the opportunity.
Their beers were great.
Food was ok.
Service was excellent.
Great beer!
Great service, great food and beer! We love their pizza's and burgers! We always get the corned beef egg rolls and bang bang shrimp too!
Gotta give a HUGE shout out to Fillmore 13 Brewery!!! We went yesterday for an early dinner & some drinks. The food was absolutely amazing, the environment was welcoming, the staff were absolutely the best! And the beer I chose was so good that I HAD to get a growler to bring home! We also joined their mug club membership & received our pint glasses! Our new spot for sure!
Stopped here for dinner b4 a concert across the street From strand theater.
First visit and food was outstanding!
Crazy busy so not quick service but worth the wait!
Burnt ends we’re delish as were the bang bang shrimp. Tho small amount of shrimp but so good!
We had the sweet heat pizza and what an awesome mix of flavors! Will for sure be back!!
The local haunt!! I always love trying their wode variety of brews on tap. My personal favorite that I wait for every year is Blue Raja. Their stouts are top notch. The food is fantastic. And Shannon is the best of the best tending the bar. I always feel welcome when I walk through the doors of Filmore.
Delicious beers and friendly bartender and beermaker. We tasted 5-6 beers and every one was well thought out and flavorful but drinkable. Pontiac downtown is quiet but this place is worth stopping in.
Delightful south african servers. Fresh pizza and the beer salad is amazing.
Great selection of beers

I always get consistently fantastic service from Dillon
I’ve been to dozens of breweries all over the state and this was a standout to me. The beer was phenomenal, especially for the east side of the state. Very unique tap list with extremely smooth beers and something for everyone. Dylan was a fantastic bartender that seemed more than happy to answer any questions and share his recommendations. I plan to be going back regularly!
Great atmosphere: friendly and fast service, and the music isn't overpowering to where you can't have a conversation, what a refreshing change! But here's the most important part: the beverages and the food, right? We got 2 different pizzas, and they were phenomenal, even when warmed up the next day! And the craft beer that I had was very good, and not too pricey, when I got it during happy hour it was $1 off. I can't wait to go back to try more food and beer. Their burgers looked mouth-watering. Highly recommend!
ABSOLUTE GEM of an establishment! Had the best time drinking mead and the best local brews while waiting for electricity's doors to open. If your in the area due yourself a favor and stop by!!!
I just left from there I ordered the corn beef sandwich, when the lady ran my card, btw those of you who have cash app cards, you get a text as soon as it’s ran through, it showed $95.04 it got declined due to not enough $ and then it showed the correct amount of $13.77 as I looked up at the lady with my card, not sure if it was accident but she didn’t give me time to ask her about it, she walked over to the only 4 ppl sitting down to eat to talk to, I live downtown Pontiac longer then they have been open, this was my first time to walk in and order something to eat and will never go back the receipt said her name is Shannon.
