The spacious outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying a day with friends watching planes come and go while enjoying some delicious food and drinks! I had their elote dip and pork chop and it was some of the tastiest food I have ever had. My only complaint was the grits had zero flavor to them. Everything else was absolutely amazing! I highly suggest checking this unique dining experience out. Especially if you know any plane lovers!

My husband ordered the taco of the week, which was a buffalo chicken taco. I had the barria chicken tacos. Both are served with chips and salsa. We added queso, which I highly recommend. We swapped a taco so we could try both kinds. The meal was delicious and the service was great! Parking is easy, right out front. Bathrooms are very clean and so was the restaurant. We will definitely be back when we can sit outside!

Sign at the end of the gravel road announced our arrival. Pulled into the lot and we were the only ones there beyond the workers late in the afternoon on a Sunday. Cash only but they have an ATM on site. Visited the brewery room and perused the different beers available on draft, in bottles, and growlers. Ordered a pizza, the green tomato and sausage. And chose a flight of beer, four for $13. Sumac Sour, Fig Porter, Dead Leaves, and Basil Saison. I enjoyed every one of them, but the Dead Leaves was my overall favorite. I decided on that one as my take home growler. I really enjoyed the green tomato sausage pizza, I enjoy a green tomato, not many restaurants have them on their menu in a state other than fried, so I had to get it. The flavors were great; the tartness of the green tomato went well with the sausage. The space is incredible, very rustic and woodsy, the perfect backdrop to the foraged beers. Every space was decked out with funky colors and artwork. I really wish it was closer, definitely a road trip to go back but feel it would be worth it in each of the seasons!

Unimpressive. I will say, I'm not a beer drinker, but I was excited to finally check this place out…read morebecause I had heard that they have great food! It was a very limited menu. We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer and that came out with the meal. I had the quesadilla and my husband had the bacon wrapped meatloaf. Nothing was bad, but it wasn't great either. I was disappointed in the drink options as well. If you are looking for beer on tap, this is your place. However, they only have cocktails on tap and a very limited selection at that. 4 wine options. Soda. Water. That's it. Unfortunately this isn't listed anywhere on the website, so we weren't expecting them to not have a bar. We ordered strawberry margaritas and they were ok. Would we go back? Not likely.

My wife and I have made it a modest habit to try out new breweries. I now live in St. Louis, but…read moreregularly make it home to Southern Illinois to visit my family. I'd seen the Route 51 Brewery a couple times when going between Carbondale and DuQuoin. Over Christmas weekend we decided to check it out along with one of my high school friends. The beer selection was excellent. We enjoyed all of the different brews we had in our flights. There is a modest selection of food. We got pretzels and pickle chips. Both were decent. I wouldn't go out of my way for the food, but it was a nice compliment to the quality beer. The facility was new, well maintained, and I dug the scorched wood tables. There is a stage where bands can play, and a reception hall nextdoor. Overall I think it is a nice addition to the brewery and winery industry that has grown over the last decade. Check it out if you are in the area.

There's also food like burgers and pretzels. Basically the setup is pretty confusing. It's got a couple bars inside. There's one that only has a few of the beers, and the other has more. Kind of an unorganized feeling. The beers are pretty good prices for most ones it seems. It's about $5 a pint. The best one of these we had was the Buckwater Stout. It has biscuit and caramel flavors. This is a heart beer that's not so thick. Also there's food. It's about $11 for the Bavarian Pretzel. Good for sharing, and absorbing alcohol. There's also burgers if wanting to get meaty. For sure it's the place to go in town if wanting locally brewed craft beers. It's closed Sundays and Mondays. They have a happy hour in the evening on weekdays.
