So incredible we decided to double back during the same trip to visit again. As a bit of a beer snob, I can’t recommend the One Handed Applause series enough— especially the Idaho Gem. The service was impeccable and so kind, especially since we were traveling with our elderly dog, who was more than welcome inside. We didn’t have food on our first visit, but it looked so delicious that my husband chose it for his birthday dinner. We were not disappointed. Can’t wait to visit again.

Stopped in on 10/12/24 I ordered the chicken wings they were uncooked and now I have food poisoning. This place got so busy with all of the leaf peppers and hikers the waitstaff didn’t know what to do, a line of people waiting to get seated all the way to the door. Hopefully this place gets a change in management but until then I would avoid, your better off getting food at Stewart’s.

A mixed experience of both good and not so much. First the good, Beer was good, staff was pleasant. There was a wait for tables which was within the time they told us and we got seated. We had ordered drinks at the bar while waiting so we were half full when seated. Wait was a bit before a server stopped by which based on how busy it was, really wasn't an issue. Got our order taken and while waiting I needed to use the restroom, left my beer on the table with a bit left in it and when I came back it was gone. My wife said a server with a ponytail just walked by and grabbed it. No, are you done or do you want a refill just gone. Waited for a bit and finally snagged a server and asked for lack of better terms (wtf)? She apologized and comped which was appreciated. Food arrived missing one item we ordered and no silverware. Again had to grab a random server to try to correct. Took some time but finally got corrected. Finished and left. I believe the staff was overwhelmed and the lack of a dedicated server for our table was the biggest cause of the issues.

Sorry to give a bad review but Friday night we arrived around 5 pm. We waited 15 min for a table and then waited another 90 minutes for 2 pizzas and a salad!!! It was ridiculous. And we could see other tables around us waiting and waiting and waiting. The server told us there wasn't enough kitchen staff. Well that's too bad! Maybe they should've closed some tables and told us we'd have to wait an hour to be seated. Then we could've chosen to stay or move on. Yeah, pizza and beer was good (although one of our pizzas was luke warm opon arrival) but the wait was way too long!!!

Unprofessional, lack of compassion and communication, rude, didn't care about working with local people and clubs. We went to another local establishment who welcomed us with open arms. Love Sticks and Stones.

Beer was pretty good, pork poutine was really good but not real cheese curds, not a big deal for us. Prices were very affordable and it's a great location. The whole deck is dog friendly. Big plus.

Service was terrible. Dining room was half empty and it looked like plenty of staff around. They seemed more interested in socializing with each other than waiting on tables. Sat there for a while, after being seated by the host and no one acknowledged our presence. We left, we won't be back. After reading the reviews, it seems poor service is a theme for this place.

Went at sat at the bar, ordered a beer. After that I was never able to order any food.The servers helped the two couples on either side of me but would never look to me. Finished the whole beer, waited a total of 20 minutes, finally flagged down the host to pay the bill so I could get out of there. Also, it was the middle of the day and most of the tables were empty.

This rating is for the ipa and food. Pizza was good. Poutine had no taste , no salt in their pulled pork and fries were bad. Ipa was mediocre but many ppl seem to like it, though it was not for my liking

I have NOT tried that ultimate something and I will never do. Unless they will separate Czech and German pilsner. LOL. What is this brewery thinking??? "They will never know!"??? What exactly do you think about your target audience? Who is your target audience you think?

My wife and I attend the Adirondacks several times a year for hiking trips. We absolutely adore the area and all it has to offer. On our most recent trip we returned to Paradox Brewery for dinner. Our first experience here was marred by poor service, but we decided to give them a second chance. We had rushed off an all day hike, cleaned up and headed straight to Paradox. Upon arriving it was noted to be very busy. We spoke to the hostess who directed us to a table in the outside area, advising the inside dining was full. We went to the table as directed and sat for approx. 15 minutes without anyone coming by. We spoke to the people at the table beside us who were also upset at the complete lack of service. I finally went to the hostess and enquired if anyone was available to take our order. In the interim, two young gentlemen sat at another table beside us. A young female server came out, gave them both a hug, spoke with them several minutes and promptly left before I could get her attention. The gentlemen we spoke with earlier had also sent his son out to request a server, as they had been waiting 30 minutes just to pay their bill and pack up leftovers. After sitting nearly 30 minutes without anyone acknowledging out presence, we decided to leave. In fairness, I requested to speak to the manager and advise ny concerns. Upon speaking to him, it was obvious he was not receptive to my complaint and stated " Well I can serve you now". At this point I was frustrated enough that we had no intention of spending our money at the Paradox. Upon reading reviews, this circumstance seems common.

We came to visit this brewery with the family after all-day hiking on Thur, August 8th, around 4:30pm. The service was good for a while, but then the place got super busy. Our food was mostly subpar. The pulled pork must have been dry, so my sandwich got soggy with the added water. My 5-year-old's burger was burned ( not sure if it was taken off the tab after we let our server know). Spicy cauliflower bites were good and the pizza was ok. We bought two 4-packs (double IPA for me, which was good, and a cider from another company that my wife was drinking at the place, which ended up being flat, lacking carbonation in all 4 cans). While I went to the bathroom, our server rushed my wife to sign the tab on the tablet, and she ended up leaving a 25% tip. Our total tab was $170.39 for 2 adults and 2 kids to eat, with 3 alcoholic drinks at the restaurant and the 8 to-go beers. Too expensive, too hyped up. Granted, this review doesn't come from your typical tourist. I don't cook for living, but I cook about 10 meals a weeks around the house, so I have high expectations when I go out. Take it as you will.
