Nexus Brewery & Restaurant

Cajun food was an unexpected surprise. Gumbo and red beans and rice were fantastic. Beer is excellent.

The grilled chicken sandwich was so well seasoned and the fries were sooo good! Only problem was that the bread came apart so fast but the chicken was still so yummy!
I will definitely come back. The honey chamomile wheat beer was nice and sweet. The chipotle ranch was so 10/10!!

Service was fine, but personally the food could have been better. The award winning beers tasted like a sadder Modelo.

The chicken was thinly breaded and the famous spiciness never showed up. The gumbo was basically salsa with a quarter cup of white rice. The fries were seasoned but somehow had no salt. Overall, more effort went into plating than flavor, the food wasn’t savory, lacked edamame, and leaned more vinegary than satisfying.

Our first visit was a tasty one with so many menu options that we ended up ordering more than planned. Everything we tried was delicious and well prepared. For takeout, placing an online order ahead of time is a smart move since there can be a short wait, though the waiting area is comfortable. The staff provided friendly and helpful service throughout. Do not miss the bread pudding, especially the deep fried version, which was outstanding.

Go for the food, stay because your server disappeared for a couple minutes and then got your bill wrong.

Several visits both solo and with groups have provided consistently bad service with decent food - sometimes it's even what you ordered. Our server on multiple visits was just bad, forgetful or disorganized, and he remains today. Maybe it's the ordering system, but our beers were often empty while we waited to flag down someone to refill them. Something is wrong here, and a group of 6 shouldn't break their system like it did for us. I didn't argue about the wrong order, just walked home with some extra hot chicken.
Once we got our beers they were delicious... Once we got them. I don't think we'll be back after this last outing though. The great food doesn't overcome the need to flag down your server for another round. I'll revisit this as opportunity presents itself but this review is the result of multiple visits over more than a year so....

Went in to try the beer and the wings. Food was good(tried both types of wings and they were both overcooked, fish was undercooked.), service was good (waited over 30 minutes to get food) and the atmosphere was nice. Brewery/restaurant was pretty full.
