    Islander Mocktail
    Kelly M.

    This is an awesome brewery to come visit! Dog friendly, friendly owners and they offer free games, trivia nights and Bingo! And of course their craft beers and IPA's, as well as specialty seltzers and mocktails. Also, they can customize the seltzers to make them as sweet or not sweet as you want. This place has such a welcoming vibe and all the patrons inside were so friendly as well. I went for the free Bingo with my friend and she had the most delicious mocktail (it had pineapple in it) and the owners let me try their new orange IPA (yes...delicious as it sounds!!) and their apple pie seltzer (OMG like dessert in drink form) and their strawberry mint seltzer (light and refreshing). You can bring in food to eat while you drink, socialize and play games, and families are welcome. There were a couple little kids there with their parents. Perfect spot for parents looking to get out without having to get a baby sitter. Love this place!

    Flight of beers!

    One of the best breweries me and my wife have visited. Not one bad beer and multiple favorites. Loved the How Now Brown Cow (English Brown) and the Chocolate Stout. Their beertenders are great! Great with recommendations. Great with conversation. My wife and I drove 5 hours from LA just to taste the beer here. On arrival the location did not disappoint. It was comfortable and welcoming, what you would expect of a good brewery. We had previously tasted the Thai Tea Stout and were looking forward to it but it wasn't on tap, scheduled to return sometime in March. We'll definitely be coming back for their one year anniversary in May (for the Thai Tea Stout :P)

    Service was great, nice open brewery can see everything. Asked about how they got started and was given a tour, love watching small businesses start up and thrive. Beers were good many different options to choose from great variety, even had options for non beer drinkers and non alcoholic options. Star for me was the brewery pup sporting the merchandise. Will definitely be back.

    Great and friendly service! The owners are welcoming. Their dog is precious. I had the Juicy Hazy! Loved IT!!!

    Peach Cobler seltzer & Kolsch

    This is such a great place!! The owners are fantastic and the service is impeccable. The 50/50 is the best seltzer EVER! The atmosphere is so cool. An added bonus is that the owners have the cutest dog!!! They have free games to play, you must try this place out, it's my new favorite brewery!

    Nice place to relax and have a cold one, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere. Their seltzers are the best I've ever tasted, no after taste, and very refreshing. But the star of the show, in my opinion, was the Thai tea stout, delicious.

    The atmosphere is so welcoming and warm and the beer is absolutely delicious. I tried four of their beers and I loved every one of them. Take a moment to stop by. You won't be disappointed.

    We were heading to a Livermore winery but came here instead because I didn't feel like driving in a downpour. Soft launch was today. Brand new smell. Family owned. Nice bunch. Still ironing out the kinks but had a good time for 2. Hazy was very good. Stout was perfect for a rainy day. Wife raved about the seltzers. Liked the ability to adjust the syrup. Will be returning with groups.

    Had an overnight work trip that had me in Modesto so I was trying to find something fun to eat…read more After a bit of research I found this place. I showed up around 7pm and I thought it might have been closed because no one was here. But they were open. I ordered a Bauer burger with the house seasoned fries. They asked how I'd like the egg cooked and the burger cooked: I asked for medium for both. Given how dead the place was, it did take a minute to get my food. The burger was ok, not worth $21. The bun fell apart very quickly which is a bit of a cardinal sin in the burger game. The bacon on the burger was not bacon strips but a bit of bacon crumble. The patty was a bit overcooked so it was dry and it wasn't seasoned so it was bland. The egg was cooked perfectly, but the aioli and the egg yolk with a disintegrated bun made for a huge mess. The fries were interesting. The house seasoned fries are not salted. So the fries were almost sweet due to the spices, but no salt. And they do not have regular table ketchup or malt vinegar. I did ask for some ketchup and they brought me their house ketchup. While not like a classic ketchup, it was actually quite good. Oh, be aware. They will charge you a 4% fee when they bring you the check (what would have happened if I'd paid with cash?). I do not see anywhere on the menu where they say their is a payment fee so that is a pretty shady business practice. Overall: meh. I think for the price point the burger should have been great, but sadly I can't say it was great or even good. I'd likely not return.

    Food menu was so on point. Everything sounded good! Everything was delicious! The restaurant had a…read moregood amount of people and we got a nice table right away. Our waitress was so nice and in a good mood so that was nice too. The restaurant doesn't have have music and I liked that, we could actually have a conversation and not yell at each other. Lol our food was super flavorful and we will be back! The ketchup had a unique & I will say my black berry coulis & Brie burger was delicious. I loved the flavor combo. The seasoning on the fries and the Mac and cheese was also unique and kind of sweet.

    Today I took a friend out to the Twisted Pig for a meal. This review is first my impressions,…read morefollowed by his. First, we were seated promptly (outside, as the inside was full). This worked fine for us. We had our menus and drinks in a reasonable time, and had a relaxing time throughout. We both had the pulled pork sandwich along with the ice tea. I also had the cup of chili - nicely spiced). I enjoyed my sandwich (skipping the bun, as I am trying to limit carbs). My friend, whom I realized often fusses about the meals we share, was more critical. His comments were "Wrong bun, hamburger bun shoulda been an onion bun" and "How long does it take to make a sandwich?" (The wait time was totally reasonable to me.) He didn't like the potato salad (but ate it all with little time spared). He liked the meat in the sandwich, giving it a 5 out of 5. He liked the service less (I felt it was on point and just fine.) The twisted pig is a good place to eat, if it is noisy inside (as it often is) check out the patio.

    My first visit was a few weeks ago. We sat out on the back patio, and the manager was fantastic…read more There was a large group of us, and she did an excellent job making sure everyone was taken care of. Unfortunately, my dining experience wasn't as positive. I waited almost an hour and a half for my meal, and by the time it arrived, everyone else in my party had nearly finished eating. Since it took so long, I ended up taking the food home. I did try it later, but I wasn't very impressed. That may have been because the food was cold by the time I ate it, as it sat for quite a while before it was brought to me. While I truly appreciated the manager's efforts and customer service, the long wait time and overall food experience left me disappointed.
