Gunpowder Falls Brewing

My son and I visited for the first time. We did all of the NRC Trail and Heritage Rail Trail. On the way back we stopped at Gunpowder Falls Brewing. I just found it on Google maps. I had the 2 Export Hell beers and I thought they were great. If I did not have to travel another 21 miles to home, I would had tried another beer. My son loved his burger and I thought the wurst was good. Next time I am on the trail, I will be back. I hope soon.

2nd try - Beer great! Staff great! Saw their menu this visit. Menu is nothing like their website menu. Most of the items on their website are not on their in-house menu. There's really no excuse for this with being in business for years now. Same with their hours and days of operation. Nothing worse than knowing what you want to get and when you're there, it's not on the menu or they're not open! Got Schnitzel this time. Just OK. Meh. Nothing I would get again, crave or want to go back for. Got the potato salad which had very undercooked potatoes slices and unlike any German potato salad I have ever had, seen or tasted. Maybe their bar food/snacks/specials are better? Everyone seems to love this place, so I guess it must just be me. So I guess, give it a shot! 1st try - This is a very mixed review. I have heard and read wonderful things about this place and had to check it out, but overall, I left really disappointed. I'll have to give them another shot though. The server/waitress/bartender was VERY nice and excellent. Especially since she was the only person handling the entire restaurant/bar that night. I felt really bad for her, but she handled herself so well. Kudos to her. They should be honored to have her! Not fair to her being put into that situation. 1 person could not handle that volume of people. When I left, the place was packed and no one except myself and another gentlemen at the bar was served any food. The beer was excellent!!!! Definitely no complaints there!. Now on to the food. Based off of the reviews and what I have heard, I'm really just hoping they were short handed, new cook or had issues that night. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel. Website menu said it came with choice of 2 sides. Didn't get a choice. It didn't even come with Spatzle. It was served over fries. I overheard others stating similar concerns about their online website menu not coinciding with the menu at the restaurant. You've been in business long enough, that should be fixed. Salad was really good. The Schnitzel however was not. I saw multiple pictures of the Schnitzel they've served and this looked nothing like that. The Cream sauce was a watery mess with no cream whatsoever. The Schnitzel looked like it had been around for quite some time and wasn't fried properly. It was edible, but that's about it. I didn't even finish it. The gentleman at the bar seemed to be having a similar experience with undercooked Thighs/wings. He sent them back twice to no avail. By the time I left, he still didn't have any food. I find it odd that my experience was sooooo different from most everyone else's. Like I said, the place was full when I left, so they must be doing something right. I will have to go back again in hopes I experience what others have and I can change my recommendation. Overall, I'm pretty easy to please and never write reviews, so if I'm doing this, there were concerns that should be considered and looked at. Everyone deserves a second chance. More to come, and hopefully a great review!

my Fiance and I frequent this brewery about once a week. the food is outstanding, good wurst, pretzels, and recently- chicken schnitzel sandwiches that are incredible. the seasonal bier is great, really enjoying the Schwarzbier lately!

330pm on Saturday afternoon. Order pretzel to go with Octoberfest Marzen and NO pretzels!!! Crazy! What beer without pretzel

My wife and I enjoy the place! Very good German beer and food!

Mediocre German food at best, nothing special. My husband said the beer was good but the food was a disappointment. The service was just blah, no excitement or welcoming atmosphere. Probably wouldn’t return to this brewery.

Beer was good but food was horrible

Great music! Great beer! Great food!

The Dunkel was great. Will be back next time I’m in the area

Really great German menu, seemed pretty close to authentic considering the area. Location and parking are great, plenty of tables available on a Thursday night. Beer was great and came out quickly.
Table service was slow at best, the bartender had to come and take our drink order because our waitress seemed to have gotten sidetracked elsewhere. Thankfully the drinks came out quickly and were great ? Our food took close to an hour to arrive, a Reuben sandwich and burger melt.. the beef on the Reuben was so tough in some parts it had to be pulled apart by hand, the patty meat was burnt on the outside but rare in the middle. The fries were amazing, hand cut and perfectly pillowy soft.
The waitress said they were in the middle of updating their menu. I hope it's not to Americanize it like so many other local spots. I do hope it's to improve kitchen efficiency.

10/10 for the fries.

Snitzle was really good. Spatzle on point as well. Highly recommend this place. Good beer, good food, what more could you ask for.

Good food and beer was ok

My first time here and I wasn’t sure what to expect. My waitress Melissa was wonderful. She recommended a beer to me based off what I enjoy on a regular outing. It was delicious. I also had the special which was shrimp lo mein. I cannot wait to return and start trying regular menu items.

Enjoyed the beer and food. The beers are definitely good flavor and low hop beers. A good mix of german and non german dishes. Enjoyed the flight.
They had all but 1 seasonal available. Was not very crowded on a Saturday afternoon.

Plenty of parking.
