Loved the atmosphere of this place. Have garage doors that look like they open up and patio seating. They also have a kiddie area for kids to play. Our waitress was super nice and friendly. There wasn't anything we had that was bad. Definitely will come back. read more

We went on what appeared to the poker night. It was very good and we tried some good mixed drinks and several local beers. I ordered the Ruben pasta. It was delightfully weird and exactly as explained. A Ruben sandwich converted to a pasta dish. I was not a big fan BUT that is my taste. They did a great job on it and it was prepared perfectly. read more

Been here a few times now and it is quickly becoming me and my wife's favorite spot! The staff are friendly and we love that there's an area for kids to play. Everything we've tried there so far has been amazing. The Bettie burger and Texas Burger are big, juicy, and packed with flavor. I've ordered the Reuben several times and my wife loves the Chicken salad sandwich which she describes as light and delicious! We also love the mocktails. So far we've tried the blackberry ginger mule and it was so stinkin' good! All in all, great food, chill atmosphere, and friendly faces. We love it! read more

3rd time trying this place. Food is WAY overpriced and tastes like frozen microwave meals sadly. Fried pickles were overcooked so much the breading crumbled when picked up, husband only ate half his burger, I got pasta with grilled chicken and it tasted like canned chicken. One star for the decor and atmosphere being phenomenal, and one more star as the server was SO nice but everything was SO SLOW to get to the table. 2nd beer ordered came at the same time as the check so had to down it. Wouldn't recommend unfortunately. read more

Sat in the bar and were ignored for over 15 minutes, at one time there were two workers behind the bat and the bar area is long and narrow! Nobody even acknowledged us, such as, we'll be with you in a minute! ??? read more

Honestly it's just not good... We ordered the jalapeño dip, the brisket burger, brisket mac and cheese and the brisket grilled cheese. The jalepeño dip was the best thing we had. We ended up not even eating any the brisket mac and cheese because it honestly was that bad. The service was nice but the vibes were off, there were flys everywhere and overall just would never come back or recommend:/ read more

Shockingly delicious! We got a fancy goat cheese apple flatbread pizza with cauli crust and it was amazing! My husband got chicken and waffles, and it was delicious too. I got some light hibiscus brew by Anvil and even though it's not something I would normally drink it was good. They were out of their IPA and that was the only downside. Great food without the snotty people! Will be back and already told my neighbor. read more

Went here with our adult children and grandchildren. Took us 15 minutes to get a server. The adults got drinks and then 10 minutes later our children did. After we ordered, it took 1 hour to receive our food! Then they forgot to put in the order for one of our grandchildren. There were only 3 other parties in the restaurant, 2 of which had their food already. The table behind us was full of dirty dishes and were finally removed when we were finished eating. Definitely will not be back!!! read more

This was my first experience with Anvil Brewing and I must say I am impressed! I ordered the Texas Burger and it was EXCELLENT! The burger was larger than my head and came with a healthy portion of fries that were seasoned with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Not only was the burger patty huge, but it was loaded with so much shredded brisket that I could have made two sandwiches from the brisket alone if I wanted. This burger was perfect in every aspect. I can't wait to Try other menu items from this restaurant! PS: I could barely eat the half that I cut because it was so much food. read more

My brother and I just left this place, Each of us had 1 drink a piece. Simple jack and coke for each of us. Thinking of our father, on Father's Day,.......the bartender........whom is barely older than my oldest child......cut us off after 1 drink a piece..........., No wonder this place is dead!!!!!!!! Lived here for over 8 years, when this place was just a volunteer fire station for Royse City, for which the bartender didn't even know the building's history. I had to educate and inform her! I would absolutely LOVE to speak to the current owner before this place folds under like the Biergarten that was down the street! AS A FIRST RESPONDER MYSELF, I WOULD ADVISE ALL THOSE THAT CONSIDER THIS PLACE........TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE IF THE SAME YOUNG LADY THAT IS BEHIND THE COUNTER TONIGHT IS SERVING YOU! The young lady working today.........simply needs to find a different profession! Simple as that! This was my first experience coming in, and I promise you.......it will be my last. Today's date was 6/16/2024. We just left, and whomever was the bartender, needs to find a different occupation! That is nice as I can be, since she is but a child serving adults! And whomever is the owner, feel free to reach out to me.......if you want some free advice!!!! Number one and first free advice would be...........don't hire children to work as a bartender!!!! -Andre read more

Ordered an appetizer as soon as we sat down - it ended up coming out with our food. What is the point of an appetizer if it comes with everything else? Didn't even want it at that point. Server tried to apologize but she could have at minimum taken it off the bill after waiting 30 min to get any food. There were two other tables and the excuse was there's only one cook. We ordered the jalapeño dip, which shouldn't be that difficult. When we finally got our food, it was subpar. Not worth the wait for what you get and how much it costs. Sadly disappointed. :( read more

It was a hot day in June when we meandered into this joint. It wasn't much cooler inside...PLEASE get your a/c working!!! The atmosphere is a mix of bar and family dining. Our server was amazing! She recommended several dishes, which we ordered. Some were a hits, but some were strikes. Cracklins with spicy pimento dip was delicious. The fried chicken sandwich is good but not great. Patty melt was solid, but the fries could be crispyer. Coleslaw was good and the cheese beer dip was killer! Dessert was their carrot cake and a frozen brownie sundae...both very good offerings! read more

We went during the first few days of opening, did they have opportunity to tighten up, of course it's a brand new spot. Staff was good and some even great. Food was legit, many different options and I went with the burger with goat cheese and bacon jam - that was great! This is in an old fire station and kept the theme, it was a really fun place. Will be returning again soon! read more

LOVE Anvil!! Food is amazing, beer list is extensive (their brews are a must try), and the atmosphere is like hanging out at your neighbor's place. Every time we have been there the staff is attentive, and very easy going. Definitely our go-to place. read more

Open,simple but awesome space. SERIOUSLY HOW OFTEN CAN YOU TAKE YOUR DOG IN SOMEWHERE TO HAVE DRINKS?!! very much appreciated in the TX summer . There is outdoor seating as well. The staff was extremely friendly. We have an 8mo Cane Corso(110pds) that is still learning some manners and occasionally barks when not necessary. The staff was so understanding (he would bark 2-4x) and the owner even came over and introduced himself. The food was great as well. Definitely recommend getting any of their dips as an appetizer. And they have their very own Pup menu also! read more

Food was very good, I had the brisket Mac & cheese and I loved it! The service was below average, we were there much longer then we should of been. I ordered a bloody Mary that sat at the bar for about 5-10 minutes before anyone grabbed it and brought it to our table. The ambiance was great, they did a great job! read more

The Ruben! The monkey flippin Ruben! Order the Ruben. The chicken and waffles is basic AF. Just 2 waffles and a piece of chicken. Tasty but leaves ya wanting an egg. Maybe a slice of bacon. More chicken? Still tasty. Pretty dope joint. read more

Overall we had a really good experience. The giant pretzel was truly giant and it was delicious. The chicken salad sandwich and fries were also good. The draft beer was nice and cold and the service was great as well. It is just a little but pricey for the type of food. read more

Thank you for opening the Royse City location. We have been to your Pittsburg location several times, and love the new spot in the Royce City Firehouse, only a few miles from us in Rockwall. Great French Onion Soup!! See you again soon. read more

Ambiance is ok. We had came here since it was an old fire-station. All types of flag's hanging on the wall. Food, id say was below mid. We got a mushroom burger on a brioche bun. I told my boyfriend we literally made the same thing at home. Nothing different about it and we shopped at aldi that day. Like damn... I I asked what type of meat they used for the patty since that would determine how id like it cooked. Ground chuck isn't something i would cook medium well unless it was colby or waygu. Nevertheless we got that patty damn near medium. We got the potato salad as our side for our burger since a couple people had told us it was spicy. Gurl, a potato salad with 1000 island dressing and mustard is not my definition of spice. Our apps. I dont know why id get a side of 1000 island with fried pickles but ok. The batter wasnt it for me yall. But the only thing that was decent were the spicy green beans..oh that are fried. Most of the drinks they had from their home brewery, they didnt have. But at least she told us so we would have cold beer. Service was ok. The server was nice but we never got the things we asked, her until it just clicked..at the end. read more

Lovely place, unfortunately the service was not up to par. I'll check back in later in hopes this has been resolved as I'd love to support local, but as it stands I'd be too busy looking over my shoulder. read more

Wife and I went back on the 15th. Great food and even better service! We'll be going back very soon!

This is an awesome little bar and food joint! Great place where you can get a cocktail, listen to some good music and have sandwich (Ruben was awesome)! The staff is so nice and always making sure you're taken care of. Definitely a place to try out. read more

Fried green tomatoes are great. Lightly breaded tasting. The sweet potato fries have brisket and cheese and jalapeños, and some kind of sauce that I didn't care for. The chicken and waffles were Devine. It comes with whisky syrup so if you want regular syrup just request it. The service was great as we were one of the first customers on day 2 being open for them. The place offers a huge open room with plenty of tables. It's a lil pricey but I think it's okay for all the food you get. Located off main st in royse city and lord did we need new restaurants!! I'll be back!! read more

Went at open on a Sunday. They only gave us the brunch menu. We had to grab our own full menu one. The entire menu is available all day. I'm not sure why they only gave us brunch one, but whatever. Brunch is 11-3 if you want that. Ordered Bryon's fried chicken sammich minus the texas remoulade. Had beer cheese added to the fries. Good portion size and tasty, though my diet coke had a funny taste. Overall, it's pretty solid. I will be back another time. read more

Anvil Brewing - a sandwich with a side of chips - Brewpubs Near Me - Royse City, Texas

Cost. $80+ for 2 adults and 2 children is out of our budget. A $19 Ruben sandwich did not meet pricing expectations and the rest wasn't much better. Not complaining about the food. It is basically bar food but the cost is really above and beyond. You got me once, I wanted to try but that is it. There are more economical options available. read more

I have traveled wide and far. I am a Ruben connoisseur. The best 2 Ruben sandwiches I have ever had are from the last 2 times I have been here. Not too much bread, fresh kraut and amazing meat. Simply amazing! read more

Go hungry. Big portions. We had the spicy green beans with chipotle ranch. Kids devoured them. We had a Reuben sandwich, chicken bacon ranch pizza, kids hamburger,and veggie bowl with shrimp. Everything was delicious. Friendly staff. We will be back. read more

Ordered Uber Eats from here after being impressed with the menu. SUUUUPER disappointing. "Chipotle" chicken salad was cold, plain dry chicken over greens with taco fixings. Couldn't even be bothered to send the dressing. Flavorless and disappointing times 2. If I wanted a mediocre dry garden salad with plain chicken I certainly wouldn't have paid almost $30 for it. read more

Anvil Brewing - "Chipotle" chicken salad - Brewpubs Near Me - Royse City, Texas

Had high hopes for this place after looking at the food menu but unfortunately we probably will not return. The beer I had was flat and not very cold. We also ordered the "spicy" green beans that were not spicy at all. We had to ask for the chipotle ranch to get the spicy part. It was also a very small serving, maybe 10-12 pieces and it was $10. We left and ate dinner elsewhere. On a positive side, the bartenders s d servers were really nice. read more

Went here after go karting with our teens! Loved the place, the food was fantastic! Their wings with the garlic Parmesan was delicious and the Ruben was perfect! We had Heather was our waitress and she was awesome- such a delight! Another table got their pretzel and it was massive. The air conditioning was having a hard time keeping up, but it was 104 outside. They had large AC fans to help. read more

Hot inside, overpriced compared to similar restaurants, and the food was underwhelming at best

Great Firehouse location for a brewery. The food was very good and huge portions. Have to try dessert on the next visit. Beer was very good and liked that they have a full service bar for those folks who aren't beer fans. Have been to the original Anvil in Pittsburg, Texas and the Royse City location is just as good. Service was good even though they were very busy. I'll be back. read more

Great food and an awesome space for kids to play! The service is always great here as well.
