    Brisket sandwich with fries
    Pamela V.

    Before getting to this restaurant, we checked out the menu online. We were very excited with the variety of menu items. When we arrived, there were only a few tables filled so we were sat pretty quick. The decor is ok. My husband ordered a brisket sandwich and I ordered a chicken club grilled cheese. The fries were excellent. The sourdough bread was grilled and buttered well. The brisket was ok, nothing special. Unfortunately our witness entered my order wrong, so I didn't have a chance to photograph or eat. I had to get it to go.

    Stout.

    Can you say, ADULT DROP OFF SPOT. LOL. I went with my wife, and our other couple friend. Javier doesn't like shopping, Juanita does. So they invited us, but I wanted to drink a beer. So they suggested NORTHSTAR Mall. I was kinda happy to go, since I have been there in years. Plus my wife has never been there. Well. We ended up at Blue star brewing Kiosk. Too cool, the kiosk had beer, wine, margaritas. So you can get other things than beer. Best part about ordering beer at the kiosk, you don't have to just drink it there, you can walk around. And it's air conditioned in there. The service was great, bartender was very friendly, and he would play some music for you. Javier and I both started with a stout. It has a great flavor, loved looking at it roll in the glass, like a Guinness. I also had a King Violet, it is two beers mixed. Very delicious, but I could only handle no more than two. Very delicious.

    Always fun to stop and try a flight of beers. They were delicious! We decided to get a bite to share & split a grilled cheese sandwich and cup of tomato basil soup. The soup was delicious, the sandwich full of melted American cheese. My husband commented it was the first grilled sandwich he ever had that wasn't grilled! It was toasted fresh bread, I loved it. The place wasn't packed but the waitstaff was MIA or the rating would be higher.

    In the mall. Hard to find but worth it if you do. The server was uber chill and helpful. Glad I got to sample their brews.

    This brewery has been my list for a while but somehow we'd never been. Our friend spoke highly of…read moreit so we had to go. The place was once a restaurant that we had gone to in the past. It has a large outdoor area with picnic tables, fans and water misters. There was one family that was letting their kids run like crazy so we sat inside. It's a bit warm- lots of windows with odd setup. It is counter service- so you order and they deliver. They have beer, a few wine and cider. We were on the fence overall but then my husband tasted his beer- 5/5. And the food came out: pizza 5/5 (probably the best pizza I've had in SA) and smoked turkey sandwich (whoa! Smokey but not over smoked where you are burping the taste hours later) with fries 5/5 (crisp, seasoned perfectly). We will definitely be back and so should you. You should try it now.

    I have given alot of thought on how I want to rate this establishment, and ultimately settled on 4…read morestars, which may be a little unfair. I think the reason I didnt "love" the pizza is because its so different with the sourdough base and not what i am used to. I would like to return and try a sandwich or something else on the menu. Service was fast and friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming. My main reason for trying out wild barley was because they have sour beers, it wasnt the best sour beer i have ever had, but i have noticed in Texas the sour beers have a strange taste to them that i cant quite put my finger on. Overall though it was refreshing and cold. my husband really enjoyed the cider. We will be back and i hope after trying something different on the menu to change my review to 5 stars,

As soon as we walked into Dos Sirenos, the staff were very friendly and greeted us right away, letting us know to grab a seat wherever we liked and that someone would be with us shortly. Even though the place was pretty busy both inside and outside, it didn't take long for someone to come over and take our food and drink order. The drinks came out quickly, and the food wasn't far behind. Everything we ordered was delicious--honestly my only complaint was that my plate was empty by the end! The drinks were cold, refreshing, and really good. Overall, we had a great time at Dos Sirenos. The atmosphere was lively, the service was friendly, and the food and drinks hit the spot. We would definitely come back.

The chips and the dip we got were absolutely delicious. I got a Lager as mentioned not a huge beer drinker but it was delicious it had good flavor and was smooth!

    Strolling through the renovated Broadway area, we came across Idle Beer Hall & Brewery and glad we…read moredid. I had heard about this place but didn't know exactly where it was located. It is next to the Make Ready food hall and makes for a perfect 1 - 2 punch of activity. We arrived right at the tail end of Happy hour, so I order an Old Fashioned and found a spot at their outdoor patio. The patio is pet friendly and they do have live music. My drink was made well and made for a nice evening as the weather outside was nice and the live one-man band added some nice ambience. I can see why downtown residents would like to hang out in this area. Overall, I really liked the vibe of this laid-back icehouse and look forward to coming back to experience more.

The interior of Idle is very nicely designed with good branding and a great setting to hang out. It's spacious so it never feels overly crowded. We talked to one of the bartenders once who told us they are connected to Golden Gopher in LA, which we had been to in downtown LA. They always have sports on their large TVs. You can also order food from Make Ready food hall and eat there which is pretty amazing. They have some snacks you can order as well and once I went when they had a taco vendor as a pop up. So cute! Family friendly and they have a large outdoor space where kids can run around. They do have a cut off time when they become 21 and up. Parking is either on the street or a surface lot close by.

    I genuinely thought this was going to be a sports bar vibe, and I was pleasantly surprised to find…read morethat it was a Biergarten and almost pub vibe I was meeting a friend for happy hour and some bites, and we landed on the spot. I will say the GPS got a little confused in the route for some reason and I nearly missed an exit and even the entrance (there was some construction going on) There is plenty of parking, but the parking lot was pretty full. You walk up and either walk through the courtyard style Biergarten with tables or you can go inside. It was an unseasonably nice day, so, we opted to sit outside There is a QR code to view the menus. There are entrees and plenty of apps/sharables. There is also a very extensive beer menu. Make no mistake, this is their bread and butter. They boast an imprecise "99 beers on tap." There's local brews, light and dark beers, hoppy, Belgium style, German style, wheat, etc etc etc. if that's not your speed there are cocktails and non-alcoholic options. Our server was fantastic. She was very kind and patient with us. We were constantly checked in on, but not in a hovering way or a pressure to leave. Our food and drinks always came out in a timely manner. She made us feel well taken care of The drinks hit the spot, and the food was tasty. It was definitely a chill vibe/hang. We were there for hours just catching up, and we saw other happy hours, birthday parties, dates, bachelorette parties, etc Some tips: I did order a couple beers that they were temporarily out of, but there are so many beers to pivot to. Also, our server was incredibly helpful in offering other suggestions, similar suggestions, and asking the right questions to help land in the next alternative They are not open Mondays, and they're only open until 11pm Tuesday-Thursday (and Sunday). Friday and Saturday they're open til 1am. Also, on Saturdays and Sunday's they offer brunch from 11am-3pm) The Reuben was surprisingly delicious Cheers!!

It's been a while since have done brunch and o won't be in a hurry to return to brunch specifically The service was superb, we had a great server and he was absolutely on top of everything which was great! Beers were also great as was the mimosa I had and the kids we were with seemed to like their meals which came out last and they said theirs were hot - ours were not unfortunately. I had the Lox eggs Benedict and in retrospect should have sent it back as it was stone cold! My husband and our friend got the biscuits and gravy and also reported that they were cold - it was also served in a bowl which was a bad idea as the biscuits completely soaked up the gravy and resembled oatmeal by the time it hit the table! We got one meal - waffles and chicken to go and the waffles were inedible- poorly mixed, gritty and so much hot sauce in the mixture that they burned the back of the throat - they had to be trashed ! I love this place but won't return in a hurry for brunch - granted multiple dishes with eggs are hard to time right so we ended up with cold food that did however taste good
