Mixed feelings on this one. The food and drinks were genuinely great -- the quesadilla was outstanding, the beer selection was excellent, and the salad was hearty and fresh. Our waitress was fantastic too: attentive, friendly, on top of everything all night. Where it fell apart was the patio. We were dealing with flies the entire meal -- I mentioned it more than once, and the response was basically 'yeah, we should probably do something about that.' This isn't a cheap night out, and for those prices, that's not acceptable. It's a fixable problem and it wasn't being taken seriously. Food, drinks, and service inside were all a clear win. Management needs to get the patio pest situation under control -- it undercut what would've otherwise been a great night out. read more

This review is for a lunch for two at the bar on a Monday in late May. service: Daytime bartender was good. Professional and helpful with menu. bar: It's a brewery and they have broad selection of house beer styles: lagers, wheat, porter, and IPAs. I drank their Skyz the Limit American IPA ($6.50 as of May 2026) and thought it was fine. food: wide ranging menu from flatbreads to plated entrees. There are lots of daily lunch, dinner, and happy hour specials. I had a classic burger with fries and it was OK ($17). My wife had a taco salad with shredded chicken and ground beef on the side and it was also OK ($12, since it was the daily special). details: Dramatic, soaring space with lots of signage. Plenty of surface parking right outside. read more

Came in for weekend brunch and had such a great experience at 23rd Street Brewery. First off, major win that brunch is served until 1pm... perfect for those of us who don't exactly jump out of bed early. The vibe was fun and inviting, and it looks like they've carried over the magic from their super popular Christmas pop-up into a fresh, spring-inspired theme. It adds a really playful, seasonal touch without feeling overdone. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Our waitress was fantastic--super friendly, attentive without hovering, and offered great suggestions that we actually ended up loving. Tip: Get a basket of French fries for the table! Overall, it's one of those spots that works for just about anything--family outings, catching a game, bigger group gatherings, or even a more low-key, intimate meal. Great atmosphere, great service, and a place we'll definitely be back to. read more

Sat down almost immediately. Servers were friendly and were present often for questions, additional orders, etc. Food was alright and there were options for the whole family. Restaurant is about an hour or so from the airport. Lighting choices are fun and unique, it sets a great ambiance and atmosphere in the room. read more

Way overdue for an update of this family favorite that has really seen a resurgence to their original greatness. It is very rare for locally owned and operated to maintain a level of service and fare for as long as they have here at 23rd Street. We thoroughly enjoyed the deconstructed chicken nachos, roasted Brussels sprouts, Buffalo chicken mac 'n cheese (the Bill Self), prime rib and Reuben sandwiches and of course their World Class fish 'n chips! Throw in a dozen sample beer flight for $15 and you have a pretty nice sharing dinner with friends. read more

Got two chicken sandwiches and pretzels. There were lots of food, the chicken sandwiches were both large in size and so were the pretzels. They tasted really good, but the hot honey chicken was almost impossible to pickup because the sandwich was double the size of the bun which is not a bad problem to have. The fries weren't bad needed a dipping sauce, the pretzels were bad the cheese sauce was very good. Waitress was training but very nice, space was well decorated and both were very comfortable read more

Tonight we visited 23rd St. Brewery, the food was delicious as always! We devoured the Grilled Salmon, The Manly Stanley and also enjoyed a couple of yummy drinks. Me The Tiramisu Martini drink and my hubby The Ol Fashioned, then we split a flight. All drinks were scrumptious especially the a tiramisu coctail. The flight was a fun tasting. Tonight Emma waited on us and did an outstanding job. When you walk in right now during Christmas it feels like COMPLETE CHRISTMAS JOY!! The place is decorated from top to bottom and looks gorgeous. I highly recommend a visit! Mac N Cheese is delish and a favorite on the menu. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! It is really great for any occasion, from birthday celebrations to KU watch parties. I am obsessed with the ambiance of the place - especially during Christmas time! It is just so fun and I look forward to eating there any time we have guests in town. Another plus is that the wait staff is so friendly and always make you feel welcomed, and they give great food suggestions! Some of my favorite food items include: the Bill Self Mac, ANY of the pizzas, Cobb Salad, Meatball Grinder, and Patty Melt. OOOOOH and if you are in the mood for an appetizer they have one of the best artichoke dips in Lawrence, hands down!! My fiance and I went there for a family celebration after our engagement and they treated us with a delicious chocolate cake! This really sealed the deal on being one of my favorite places in Lawrence! read more

Never been here before, but lots of space, lots of tables and it's clean. Super nice decorating for Valentine's Day. We're here for a bball game and my wife saw this spot on the news and wanted to come by for lunch. The drinks are tasty and the food is good. We got the pretzels for our appetizer and they were nice and hot. Then I got the classic Stromboli. Very good, AND ITS HUGE! Buttttttt, wasn't cooked enough on the inside. Not a deal breaker. It's hard to cook dough on something this size. I ate half and I'll take the other half and bake it some more. No worries. My wife got the classic flatbread and it looked big, and she liked it a lot. We will be back. Our server is awesome and very quick with the refills. read more

The current management and service here are outstanding. We are amazed by the dramatic improvements. We now go there for dinner once a week, and they pretty much know what we will order before we order. Last week they were out of the beer I wanted. The manager came to our table and said he would go to a liquor store to buy it. He did, and I was served the beer I wanted. The happy hour discounts are among the best in Lawrence. For example, the Fried Pickles and the Mediterranean Flat Bread Pizza are half price during happy hour. The New Orleans Salmon is excellent. The vegetables are always fresh as are the salads. The festive lighting in the dining room is there all year long, not just during holidays. The restaurant has many well trained servers. As a result, the service is always excellent. read more

Food quality has gone down hill. I'm hoping that tonight was a one-off, everything that met the oven was doomed. The quality did not justify the expense. Will provide update at my next visit. read more

Excellent burgers. Blue cheese burger is especially good. Great ambiance and personnel.

Salmon was a little but okay enough to eat. Fish n chips were tasty and a solid choice- only reason for two star review. Pizza was horrible and 100% frozen, not worth the steep price of $20. Tasted bland and like cardboard. Super greasy as well. Place was loud, service was average. read more

Great food, great service but prices are out of control. $19 chicken fingers just kinda crazy.

One of my Lawrence staples. Everything I've ordered has been delicious and I always receive good portions (enough for 2 meals)! I haven't had too many of their mixed drinks, but the ones I have ordered have been good. The service is great, and I just love the light features and details of the ceiling. It's a great place to take your visiting family or have a cute dinner date with your partner or friends! read more

Ordered an Angus burger from doordash lastnight. Woke up with food poisinging at 4am and had to go to the ER. Won't be eating here again

Drove to Lawrence from KC this evening to meet some family who drive from Topeka for dinner. I wasn't impressed. It was decorated really cute for Christmas. And our server was super nice. But the food was very overpriced and not very good. I got a burger ordered medium well and it was medium rare at best. It was pretty bland too. And $17! I can get a way better burger for half the price from so many other places. One relative liked their food and the other one only ate a few small bites because it wasn't good. 23rd street used to be good. And affordable. Now it is neither of those things. The two stars are for the server. If I was basing this just on the food, it would be none, unfortunately. read more

Kelli was amazing! Had heard about their Christmas brunch on the radio and came in to check it out. The mimosas are absolutely the best!

We love this place. There are many options in Lawrence but this is worth going to often. Food is always good. They also have a great happy hour read more

Had an amazing time with a party of 10 for my sons 21st surprise birthday. Staff and management were amazing with their service and even allowed us to bring in our own ice cream Bday cake. We had food from salads to burgers to chicken marsala. All the food was delicious. Great cook to order burgers with yummy fries. We had cocktails, beer and even a free birthday shot for my son. Everything was great. Give it a try! read more

We just completed our third visit to this establishment. As soon as you walk in, the place makes you feel happy. The food is fantastic. The craft beer is top notch. Pricing is very good. Happy hour is the best we have ever run across. The service is extremely attentive. We have to give a huge shout out to our server," BELLA BALL" over our past two visits. BELLA appears to love the job. The whole staff creates a great vibe. We could point out numerous positives about this place that separates them from many others. Looking forward to our next visit soon! read more

First and foremost is to complement and thank the young lady serving our table. She was great. The Hake Fish is my favorite so we make the 60 mile round trip 2 or 3 times a month. Never disappointed. The Christmas Light decorations are beautiful and parking is good. read more

Good cheap beer, excellent fried pickles, mac and cheese lacked salt and otherwise was just eh. Very beautifully decorated. Overpriced. Would go again for beer and apps but not really worth it for dinner read more

We had a party of 18 for a graduation celebration and I made a reservation a few weeks ago. We were seated promptly. Our server (I didn't catch her name) was excellent and just attentive enough. It's very done up for the holidays! The food was just incredible. People want to look and the prices and walk away but let me tell you. The portions were GINORMOUS and worth every penny. The chicken Parmesan I ordered had a whopping 3 chicken cutlets. We had everything from Cajun pasta to Mac and cheese to Alfredo to fried chicken Cobb salad to a burger and a steak and taco salad. Several ordered the calzone and it was bigger than my daughter's head. Just do yourself a favor and check it out! read more

23rd Street goes all out for the holiday vibes, the inside feels like you're walking into a winter wonderland. The food and drinks are as good as always. We got the Bill Self, of course, and the chicken in the mac was 10/10. We also got the tortilla taco salad and really enjoyed the dressing on top and the shell bowl. read more

Great food, drinks and service, we loved it and will go back!!!! Good price point and enjoyed our visit!!!

Had their Chicken Parm and a Bill Self Special to go. Had not eaten there in at least 5 years. Food was very good. Portion sizes were HUGE, which I was happy about because both dishes were over $22 each. Place looks the same and seems busy, so I was glad they are still doing well with all the competition in Lawrence. read more

Food was tasty and large servings. We loved the decor too! Service was pleasant and quick. One of our favorite restaurants in Lawrence.

Food: the entire plate was filled with sauce, extending nearly to the edges. The sauce was for the entrée, not the sides, etc. Beware, if a menu item includes sauce. The food itself was ok. Beer/brewery: staff were not able to answer any of my questions about the brewery. The beer is pretty lackluster. Beer geeks, look elsewhere; staff are poorly trained, and while the beer menu is decent, I would not want to buy any of them again. The place reminds me of a cross between an Applebees and a sub-par brewery. There are much better brewery options in the area. read more

Very festive with the Christmas decorations. Food was good! Staff is very friendly. Good selection of beers. Reuben was very good!

Great service! We opted to sit on the patio. Not only do they have great food but we had an amazing server! The day was beautiful and the patio is dog friendly ;) great drink selection. The menu is not large but I'm sure you will find something you like. read more

Went on Christmas Eve with my family Service was OK but I ordered the salmon with the sweet potato fries. Salmon was almost overcooked, and the fries were definitely overcooked. They got hard before I was done. My family likes this place, but I do not will not go back read more

Love the atmosphere here. Great place to grab a beer and watch some Sunday football. Service is amazing too, and food is perfect. My go to is the chicken Caesar wrap and some fries. They also have a large in-house selection of brewed beer on tap. I haven't tried all of them yet, but Wave the Wheat is a very good beer! read more

I've always loved going to this brewery in Lawrence! It isn't on the main roads in Lawrence so you don't have to fight very much traffic, and there is always a parking spot available. The food is all yummy! Some things are a little bit pricey but definitely comparable to other businesses. The turkey bacon calzone is now my go-to meal! It is a large portion of food and reheats very well in the air fryer for leftovers. The jalapeño aoli is a little spicy but adds the perfect kick of extra flavor to the meal. The raspberry wheat beer is not overly flavored, which allows you to enjoy the wheat with a hint of flavor. This is one of my overall favorite beers because the flavoring doesn't taste like syrup and isn't overpowering. read more

I was here for a work event so we had a limited menu. We had calamari, spinach dip, and pretzel. I also had a burger and 2 house beers (1 light and 1 dark). The service was not bad but it was slow (not sure it's fair to grade since it was a large party). The food was good. read more

I just had an excellent meal catered by 23rd st brewery. It was great and I can only imagine the brewery must be just as good.

I truly thought there was a mistake and the menu had the wrong prices: Who in the middle of America is charging $23 for a turkey sandwich? Airport-level prices for very mid food. Also not a single tv had the NFL game on...I don't need 10+ screens showing Hallmark Xmas movies. read more
