Overall Rating: 4.2/10The venue offers a spacious setting with a relaxed atmosphere, but the culinary experience falls short of expectations. While the environment is inviting and clean, the food's lack of flavor and dryness detracts from the overall dining pleasure.Atmosphere: 6.1/10The establishment provides a comfortable and unhurried vibe, allowing guests to enjoy their meal without feeling pressured. Its spaciousness, coupled with clean indoor/outdoor seating options, adds to the appeal, although the decor is described as unique yet basic.Service: 5.2/10The service model, offering both tab and upfront payment options, is friendly and accommodates different preferences. The half-service, self-seating approach works well within the casual setting.Food:Signature Burger: 4.1/10Despite its appealing presentation, the burger disappoints in taste. It's described as extremely bland, with both the beef and sauce lacking depth of flavor. Even the bun, although basic, ends up dominating the taste experience due to the meat's underwhelming presence.Mac n Cheese: 3.3/10This dish suffers from dryness and a lack of creamy cheese sauce, leading to a less enjoyable meal.Chicken Wings: 5.2/10The wings meet the basic expectations for taste and cooking but don't distinguish themselves from offerings at other venues.Value: 5.2/10At $45 for a meal for three, the pricing is considered reasonable, aligning with the average quality and quantity of the food served.

The beer is good. The food is mediocre.

Enjoyed the At the Buzzer beer, turkey sandwich & fries. Came by after 130pm so a very light crowd which made for a quiet & pleasant lunch. Friendly staff, lots of beer & food choices.

Good spot in a mellow side of town. Good selection on the taplist with some nice guest beers.

Let's start with the MVPs: the hardworking staff at Tobacco Wood Brewing are the real heroes, hustling to ensure every guest feels like a VIP. The lively atmosphere sets the stage for a buzzing social scene, making it the perfect spot to unwind with friends over drinks.Speaking of drinks, the beer selection is a highlight, offering a plethora of choices to satisfy every beer aficionado's palate. And those appetizers? Absolutely awesome – they're like flavor fireworks in your mouth!Now, onto the main event – the food. While it didn't quite steal the show, it held its own. The chicken sandwiches were a bit on the blah side, lacking the pizzazz we hoped for. The spicy chicken? Not exactly living up to its name. Here's a suggestion for a game-changer: how about a crispy, fiery spicy chicken sandwich to shake things up?Overall, Tobacco Wood Brewing is a top pick for drinks and appetizers, but for dinner, we might explore other options. Nevertheless, we'll definitely be back for another round of brews and bites! ??

This place is tops. It’s never crowded when I have been and it’s always delish. The beer is solid from stouts to IPAs. The food is very very fairly priced and I’ve never had anything I thought was less than superb. The burgers are fantastic and the tots are super crispy. Definitely a must stop if you are in the area! Female owned too! Whoot Whoot!

The beer is amazing!!!! Service with a smile. Good food. It's like you've walked into a friend's house and hanging out with food and beer.

OMG PLEASE COME HERE!!!! We came here on Valentine's Day and everything was amazing! Beer, burgers and some of the best fries you'll ever have! The buffalo chicken dip is outta this world!!! You can also do taste tests to see what you're going to love!!! You must try Cupid Is As Cupid Does, strawberries and vanilla. Amazing!!!!

Fresh food! Chicken had some tendon-y bits. Staff were super friendly. Cajun Mac and cheese was yummy!!

Michael Kirschner

Great food beer and service.

Robert Doherty

Didn't expect pretzel salt on the pizza and the table next to the door was wobbly. Fries are dope, though!

Michael Turk

Delicious food and great beer!

The food was great. The cook did their thang on that veggie pizza (No picture because I was too excited to stuff my face) and I got two of these little samplers which were amazing. I let the bartender choose what she thought was a great comparison to what I described I had a taste for and she executed just that! Everyone is pleasant, friendly and smiling as if they love what they do. Writing this review from the barstool smiling real big because I may be tipsy but it’s been a great time. Always remember: DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. Call a damn Uber so they can hear your tipsy story, get you back to your destination safely and possibly talk about your convo in a group chat. I’m pretty damn funny, so it’s always worth it. I’m for sure coming back. Oh, numbers 29, 30 and 32 are amazing. Gulp! K bye ??
