Visiting East Troy Brewery with my husband JC was like finding a new favorite spot where the vibe is just as good as the food.We dove into a menu packed with some real hearty eats that hit the spot just right.Starting with the wings – oh, boy, were they a hit. Just the right amount of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with sauces that had us licking our fingers clean. Whether you're a BBQ fan or a buffalo lover, these wings have got you covered.Then there was the Pork Belly BLT. This isn't your run-of-the-mill sandwich; it's a thick, juicy piece of pork belly with all the BLT fixings. It’s the kind of sandwich that makes you think, "This is why I love bacon."The White Truffle Pear Pizza was something special. It's not every day you see those ingredients together on a pizza in Wisconsin, but man, does it work. It's got this fancy taste without being too out there – a real nice change-up from the usual.Can't forget about the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Even if you’re not usually a fan, these could change your mind. They're sweet, they're garlicky, and they've got this truffle aioli that just brings it all home.The Cheese Curds were spot on – beer-battered and served with some seriously good dipping sauces. It's like they knew exactly what we were craving before we even walked in.Ending with the Fish Fry, because no Wisconsin review is complete without one. This beer-battered cod was just how you want it – crispy on the outside, flaky and light on the inside. And those potato pancakes on the side? Just like grandma used to make.All in all, East Troy Brewery feels like it's right at home here in Wisconsin. It's the kind of place where you can unwind, enjoy some really good food, and just have a great time with good company. JC and I are already planning our next visit back.

Amazing food, friendly and attentive service, and tasty beer, not to mention the great atmosphere. We had the brussel sprouts for an app and I LOVED the brisket mac and cheese. This is a gem in small town Wisconsin—will be back!

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, fantastic food, and tasty beer! The fried cheese curds are the best I have ever had. I watched the place fill up and the staff kept up with ease. Glad I stopped in.

Fireplace! Couches! Family friendly, the food is freaking amazing, worth the wait. Love the cozy decor & social atmosphere. Come here with your friends again & again. Buffalo cheese curds, many unique pizza choices, vegetarian friendly. If you’re anywhere near lake geneva or Milwaukee you have to come here.Vegetarian options: I’m mostly vegetarian & lovvved everything. Locally grown ingredients & that’s not common around here to doKid-friendliness: Outdoor & indoor spaces, old bank area to play in. Menu is kid friendly!
Love this place! Always get the brussels sprouts and the white truffle pear pizza. I love that they change up the menu seasonally, too! Great place.

Went to East Troy Brewery for a lunch hangout with my friends. We kicked things off with the Loaded Queso, which was packed with flavor and perfect with the chips. The Cheese Curds were a hit, perfectly crispy and meltingly good on the inside.We also grabbed The Big Pretzel, massive and just right with beer cheese. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were another favorite, with a delicious honey-garlic and truffle aioli.For pizzas, the Shroomie was a standout, with its tasty smoked mushrooms and chimichurri. The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich was a winner too, spicy and perfectly balanced with coleslaw.We wrapped up with the Americana Burger, hearty and packed with all the right toppings, plus some great fries.The brewery's vibe, set in an old bank, added a unique touch to the whole experience. The food and beer were great, and the service matched the cool setting. Definitely a place to return to

my favorite place in the area! the food is delicious - I love trying the new pizza every month and the cheese curds are fantastic. it's been great seeing this restaurant evolve and grow after what will be known as the pandemic years when most establishments struggled. I always take visitors from out of town here! they love to visit the vault

Hosted a party for about 50 people this past weekend. We reserved the Draft Room and had a private bartender. Service, food and communication with party details were great! Fair room rental fee too. Bonus it was a beautiful day, we were able to utilize the patios too. Beutiful venue. Thank

You can tell a lot about a place the minute you walk in.Smiles, hellos, a nice crowd etc. make a huge impression. We got that. What a cool old building! Fantastic service - well prepared food - and great beer. Not sure what else you would want. Oh, one thing - there should always be music. Some old jazz would fit the vibe here nicely. Never been to downtown East Troy but I think I'll be back & this place will be my first stop. Great job!
