Fantastic place! The beer is awesome, I had two IPA and they were very balanced, west coast style like I like. The staff was really cool and welcoming. And finally, their place has a great patio with a street view.

Amazing place! If I lived here(there) I'd be there too much! Beer was excellent-full flavor! Food-we had a burger and homemade brat! With all the dips! I want to clone this place back home! Brother John had coffee and he didn't complain!

Stopped by for an IPA with our sack lunch on a Saturday. Nice big wrap around balcony with plenty of seats and sunshine. Inside has good amount of seating, as well as a kitchen and espresso bar.

Good beer and nice staff. Kate was very patient and helpfully. Could use some more comfortable seating

Very nice place. Open feel. Great root beer for the non alcohol drinkers like myself.

Grain Theory is the BEST downtown Abi spot! It is a great place to come with a group of friends on a night out or the whole family while downtown. The food is always fresh and delicious. If you ask them to make chicken strips for your kiddos (when it’s not on the menu), they definitely will. The beer is great and if you’re not into beer, their espresso is great as well.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly food and drink items. Board games available to keep kiddos entertained.

Great place to grab a bite to eat and draft bear! This last time I tried “The Middle Way” and was amazing! Highly recommend the purple haze ranch for your fries. You won’t regret it!

Good spot. Friendly atmosphere. 2023 OctoberFest was a great event. Excellent steak salad.

The Wednesday Wing lunch was outstanding. We each got five of the four flavors and shared. Great spice levels with solid chicken that was tender. A great deal and also a great meal for lunch.

Awesome food, drinks and friendly staff! I love the open layout of this place and the balcony views are a great addition!
They expect you to tip before you even get your food. Easy no tip, with plans to tip afterward depending on our visit. There were like 6 people ahead of me when I ordered us each a burger. We waited 30 minutes. No biggie. Then like, 3 people who came after us got their burgers first. I went to the window and asked them if they forgot about us. They said they've been behind all day. I sat back down for 5 minutes and was about to go get my money back when the pager went off. I got 2 burgers with dry, burnt patties. The pettiness made me laugh and we were starving, so we ate it and will definitely not be back.

Drinks and food were pretty good. Outdoor balcony seating was great. They need to figure out a way someone can close out at tab without waiting in a line of 15 people ordering drinks and food. Sheesh

Grain theory has it going on. Great location downtown with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating which is nice when it gets too loud inside. Care is given to keeping guests comfortable outdoors with shading and heat sources provided. The food is excellent. We sometimes come in just to eat here. High quality meat and ingredients, cooked well, with great flavors. Its always clean and well kept. Beers cold.Only reason for leaving four stars is, the person working the register is usually unfriendly. The last few times there was a younger girl with dark hair and bangs who wasn't the least bit welcoming, never smiled, and stared at us blankly as we ordered as though she was annoyed. This is consistently the attitude of whoever is in her position and thats unfortunate since its the first employee your guests interact with. Bit of a spoiler.
