Beers were good and service was attentive. However the pork schnitzel that I got was severely dry and lacking flavor and had just a splash of gravy on it. Not a fan of the location as well. Nothing says come have a beer here like watching Clear Lake Shores PD pulling people over in your parking lot. Ifykyk about CLS PD

Food is good, beer is good, the service sucks.

Enjoyed going here early on and it was always good. Lately the service is lacking big time and it wasn’t just a one off thing, but rather across multiple visits. One time in the evening my family and I were seated, drinks were ordered, and we didn’t see our server for close to an hour after that. No apology given then for that one. Second time was my wife and I for lunch, wasn’t busy at all inside, yet service was very slow. Third was very recent and again my wife and I going for lunch. We waited to be seated for over 5 minutes. None of the visible staff ever acknowledged us, or even said we’ll be right with you, not a thing. We ended up walking out and going elsewhere. Very disappointed that a nice place like this is ruined by lousy service. Not likely returning anytime soon.

You're missing out if you've never been here! Awesome atmosphere and the staff are incredibles.

I like the idea of this place and the location as a nearby and low key fun atmosphere, but hopefully the managers and owners listen up. You're food is just OK not great just OK, but what is worse and where you can make the experience MUCH better is your SERVICE. The last 3x I've been here with my family we try and enjoy our time, but you get seated and then wonder if they forgot about you. My wife literally had to go ask for silverware which is just sad. The waitresses mean good and polite but need much more training or help as they are often not cued in to being prompt and constantly checking in to the customer. We had to strategically order all our food at once just in case they forgot about us which is sad and then our appetizer along with our main entree piled up on our table which made eating impossible. Then comes the tip and they provide you the digital card machine and literally stand there waiting for you to enter your tip which is also not ideal. Each time I've left decent tips considering the food and mostly the service is atrocious. Liked this place in the beginning but each experience gets worse and it's usually a result of who's running the place such as the owners and the managers. IF they can get it together, this could be a great place to experience, but the lack of appealing food and worse the non-existent service has finally reminded me to not come back. If you cannot run a business like this right, then don't be in the restaurant industry or get into another that hopefully you finally get right. Also, I read all the poor reviews and they are spot on...poorly run and subpar food...shame on me for giving this place a 3rd try. Will not be back for a 4th. This business should be embarrassed to deliver this terrible experience.

Food was average at best. We had a party of 4 and food was just dropped at random times and not together. Very chaotic and unorganized. Cool atmosphere though.

The beers that I tried were good and the taproom was very nice. Definitely worth a pit stop if you’re in the area!

Some of the best beer I've had at any brewery. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were friendly, but service was a little on the slow side. Some people didn't want to wait in the main line that formed so they would sit down at the bar and rudely yell/wave down the servers which was most of the problem. Overall, still a very enjoyable experience and nice place.

Wonderful ambiance and we loved looking out at the water. Music was a good level and not too loud which is one of the first things I gauge a place by. The smell was nice and temp was perfect. Unfortunately I was looking forward to the Bloody Mary but it was a little sour so I sent it back but the Pumpkin Gourd was excellent. I asked the server Alex what she recommended and she said the Salmon benedict which did not dissappoint. A Salmon croquette on a bed of fried potatoes with an egg and specialty hollandaise sauce poured over with sliced red onions! The pop of the egg over the salmon and potatoes was perfect taste. My hubby got the super thick and juicy chicken fried steak and egg which came with mashed potatoes of which he said was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back! Looking forward to sitting outside next time. Looks like they have a new deck on the water in the back.

Pretty cool place. Good German food and beer. Great service.

One miner critique: 15 TVs and no college football. We would have stayed and drank here all day but we wanted to watch the game.

What a great location for a brewery! Our first time here and we were welcomed nicely by the staff as we brought our fur baby Myles with us too. Beers were great, food was very good and dog menu was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be back!

I’ve been here twice and we were really impressed with our service again on top of the delicious food and drinks. The food was great. The fries were crispy and well seasoned. Wings, dry rub, I had to bite one before stopping to take a pic. Crispy and pipping hot. The dynamite sauce is addictive.. put it on my burger, wings and fries. Btw..the musical entertainment 🎶 was awesome 👏🏾
