When I was staying in Marshall for those two months on the task force team for that well-known hospitality company, Bray Brothers became one of my go-to spots. It wasn't just somewhere to eat -- it was somewhere to decompress, reset, and enjoy the moment. The craft beer selection was always on point, the food never missed, and the service was consistently impeccable -- attentive without being overbearing, professional without being stiff. And the ambience? That mattered. It was warm, inviting, and easy to sit in -- the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe, and actually enjoy where you are. It had soul, not just style. It became part of the routine, part of the experience of that chapter -- good people, good food, good energy, and a space that felt intentional. That's the kind of place that leaves an impression, not just a receipt. read more

If Brau Brothers had an apartment above the restaurant, I would rent it and eat every meal downstairs. The server was perfect, the cheese balls and in-house-made root beer were incredible, and my We Beef Jammin' sandwich will force our return there. A lot. Great way to celebrate a birthday--and if we can't find an event to celebrate so we can go there, we will come up with one. read more

Food is good and the beer is great. If you're looking to spend a bit less money the pizza is great and pairs perfectly with the beer.

Super friendly staff and great beer. It was great to have some solid salad choices instead of the usual bar food. Ambiance is kind of choose your own adventure. A warehouse kind of feel, but it's ok with me. Sitting at the bar is my first choice to watch the action. read more

Brau Brothers Brewing - Grape soda - Breweries Near Me - Marshall, Minnesota

The food was not very good, and the wait was very long to get some food. Then they left some bone in my burge.

We stayed in Marshall on the last night of our recent western trip and hit up Brau Brothers Brewing for our final meal on the road. Brau Brothers Brewing joins with four other micro-brewery restaurants we visited on the trip in my "solid but average category." The establishment is located in what looks like a defunct big box grocery or hardware store -- it is spacious, sort of industrial looking, but lacks a coherent decor. You can see the brewery portion of the business through large windows. The size of their operation was bigger than I expected -- a true micro-brewery and not just a brew-pub or tap room. The old fire truck converted into the backbar is quaint -- but I've seen it before. What the building lacks in decor was compensated for in friendliness -- let's call it "Minnesota nice." We struck up a conversation with a local couple who said they stop in regularly for a beer. Our server was equally friendly as were others working behind the bar. The beer was pretty good -- I had a Moo Joos oatmeal milk stout -- dark and creamy with the right amount of hops for my taste. I even purchased three "crowlers" (large aluminum can) to take home. For my food I opted for their Cubano sandwich and my companion ordered a bison burger. The Cubano was served on a ciabatta roll with an ample amount of ham and cheese topped with fried pickles (a unique but effective variation). The bread was a bit heavy in proportion to the filling so I ended up setting the top aside and finishing the sandwich open faced style. The order came with fries and a dill pickle wedge on the side. All in all it was a tasty and satisfying meal. I don't know if I'll ever pass through Marshall again -- but if I am I'd surely stop in for a beer and bite to eat. read more

Brau Brothers Brewing - An old big box store converted into a brewery & restaurant. - Breweries Near Me - Marshall, Minnesota

This brewery has it all in Marshall- a full menu, over 20 taps of house made craft beer, craft sodas for the kids or non-beer drinkers, alcoholic seltzer with flavors you can add, and a game room named the Brau Cave. None of the beers stood out to me, but I love the variety of styles available. I didn't try the food, but I've heard it was good. The Brau Cave (take a right instead of a left upon entry) offers pool, darts, and two golf simulators. A really fun spot. Great for families as well. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Even if the beer isn't anything to write home about, this is a must hit spot. read more

Worst experience in years. 1 1/2 hours to get cold renuked food. Waitresses were too busy serving beer to deal with food orders. Tables and floors were filthy. I think there was more beer on the floor than in the glasses. read more

Great place, and great people. Best food in the burg. I highly recommend this place! read more

I moved to Marshall in March 2020. Started visiting Brau Brothers in August 2021. It's always been a hit or miss with the food. But the worst of worse was most recently during a meeting I attended there last week. I ordered chicken syrips and fries. What I received was untouchable very overcooked -- burnt to a ugly dark dark brown -- gagworthy and unedited 4 chicken strips followed up with equally burnt -- some were actually black French fries. Yes I completely complained to the waitress three times. She offered me a FREE BEER which I declined. Yet still had me pay for the gross meal at full price. Two nights ago I returned for the Kitchen Sink pizza. Our waitress was extremely intentive and a lot of fun. Well worth the $20.99 pie. I should have had my entire meal replaced on the original night and not offered free alcohol. read more

We ordered the Kitchen Sink pizza for pick up to consume as we traveled through Marshall. The hand tossed crust was just right, chewy with a bit of crunch, and the toppings both generous and fresh. The pizza was done on time and hot. We highly recommend Brau Brothers and will stop again! read more

It has been several years since I have been here, but showing up shortly after COVID did not disappoint! When I arrived, the waitress was working to find me a table and assumed I had 100 friends (spoiler alert I don't have that many friends). Anyway. Food was great, beer was better and the playlist? It was pretty much my Spotify favs. White Stripes, Black Keys and all the other classics. Don't miss out. This place fills up fast! read more

Great beer and staff. I met the owner, he sat there with the patrons. You would never know.

I really do love this place, I love the very dark beer and there food! I recommend it to everyone!

Ehh - ok beer, an hour to get a French fry appetizer, and ignored while waiting. Maybe an off night but surprising for a Saturday at prime dinner time when not a lot of patrons were eating food. But maybe they were all still waiting on the kitchen, too. read more

I've driven past this strip mall location many times, and didn't even know what it was. What a great find in Marshall. Great beer, super friendly staff, and a carnivores delight of a menu. I saw some veggie options, too, but opted for the Cubano, which had fried pickles as a great twist. I'll absolutely be back! read more

I'm on a mission to get to all breweries in Minnesota. This one was a day trip out to Marshall while working my way back to Schell's in New Ulm and Mankato Brewing in...Mankato, and Montgomery Brewing in...guess where? Montgomery. This was a cool place. It is, however, in a building you wouldn't quite expect for a brewery. I've been so used to going into random, isolated warehouse areas to find breweries, but this seems like your heading to your local Kmart. Y'know, when Kmart actually existed. The firetruck inside is what makes this brewery memorable. The food was good, service was okay (I base my brewery service experience by how personable they are, what kind of stories they have, where they got started, but we never got there with any of that stuff). It was pretty dead when we were there (Friday afternoon), but I can imagine this place gets pretty 'hoppin'' on a Friday or Saturday night. Beer? Middle of the road. Their Moo Joos (Oatmeal Milk Stout) is what they're known for but I wasn't super impressed. I also tried their White Cap Crystal Wit and was not all that impressed. I think the problem was that they didn't have my kind of beer on tap-- that being a Double IPA or Imperial Stout over 8% ABV. If they add one of those, I may just drive 3 hours again and enjoy a long day trip. read more

I will update this review if I ever happen to stop and eat here. This is based solely on a visit while passing through, sampling a few beers and grabbing some merchandise. The staff was super friendly (like everyone else in Minnesota of course). I wasn't aware they were allowed to sample or sell their beer on site. I toured a distillery earlier in the week and they had to charge for samples and couldn't sell their own make. Maybe it's just hard alcohol.....Anywhoooo, we were passing through on a route we just happened to take because of construction and when I realized the big building that said "Brau Bros." on it was the brewery, I knew we had to stop. Anyways, this place is awesome on the inside. Their tap selection is on an old fire truck! I've never seen a taproom as cool as this before. Great selection of beers, I tried the black IPA, a pale ale, and their Belgian wheat. They were all above average. They have some really cool merchandise. Platters, glasses, bottle openers, shirts, polos, hats, you name it. BUT, when I came it was almost entirely picked clean. They only one shirt design they had a large left in. I can wear a large or medium and they had none of either. I hope to stop again once they restock. Definitely worth checking out if you're ever in this very unexciting, otherwise unspecial, town of Marshall. read more

Incredibly slow service for simple sandwiches on a modestly slow Friday night. They were not understaffed to account for the slow service. People arriving long after us were served long before us. Frustrating night. read more

This is our go-to place for great beer in Marshall! Their burgers are addicting, and can be made with beef or bison. They are the only place I have ever seen that serves a BBQ sandwich with Mac-n-Cheese on top; delicious! Their beer selection is varied and always changing. They have a great basic lager in the Old 56 but they have fun experimenting with their smaller batches. We almost always order a Flight, to sample 5 new and exciting recipes. The atmosphere is so much fun. They have a glass wall between the dining area and their brewing operation so you can see everything in the brewing process from boiling to fermentation to bottling. It is family friendly and they take reservations. Don't forget to pick of a growler of your favorite to bring home!! read more

Brau Brothers Brewing - Sharing a Flight! - Breweries Near Me - Marshall, Minnesota

Marie was Uber cool. Beers were good. Mushroom burger was amazing and so we're the fried pickles (spears). Buffalo sliders we're awesome.

Visited for a work lunch with colleagues. Fun atmosphere both inside and out in this former big box hardware store space. Because it was a working lunch, no beer (boo hoo) -- a couple of speciality batch beers in addition to their regular beers looked inviting. They've also got homemade soda in several flavors if you're so inclined. Unfortunately, the food needs some more attention. Ordered a fish sandwich and was talked into the side salad (actually I ordered the fish tacos but the server, while earnest, got it wrong for two of us in the party). Side salad was a little tray full of iceberg lettuce from a bag and a half cup of dressing -- unimpressive to the point of embarrassing. Sandwich was poor as well. Others food looked marginally better but, while obviously not the area of emphasis, needs to get upgraded to respectable. Would definitely come back for the beer however. read more

Had the stout fries for an appetizer, which my wife and I shared with two friends. My wife and I shared a gluten-free pizza (10")--the perfect size. Crust was crisp, and toppings were tasty. Enjoyed a s'mores stout--wow! We're from out of state, and each year we visit friends in Marshall, we come here. Looking forward to another great time next year! read more

I stopped in for dinner while in town for business. I was looking for a local spot, where I could grab a beer, eat a nice burger and hopefully watch some sports. There didn't seem to be many options, but Brau Bros seemed the most up my alley. And I was right. It wasn't very busy when I first arrived so I had the opportunity to talk to Tony and a couple other employees. They were all very friendly and answered my questions to the best of their ability. I like to learn the history of a place if I find it interesting and find out what the employees like to eat off the menu. They had basketball on the tv above the bar, it was nice to watch the Timberwolves with fans. I ended up getting a burger and fries. It was pretty good. I mean, I ate the entire thing. It was juicy, hot and dripped with grease. It could have used a little more seasoning, but I'm a stickler for well seasoned meat. The fries were thinner than I expected. The only issue I have with thin fries is that they tend to go cold before I get to them. The atmosphere seemed a little warehousey, I suggested to the bartender that they spray the ceiling and ducts black to help it feel more intimate, but it is after all a brewery. That being said, let's talk beer. I'm not big on hops, to be honest, I'm not big on craft beers in general. You're looking at bottom of the barrel girl, domestic queen. But I didn't try a beer that I didn't like. I told Tony that hops wasn't my friend and he offered me a couple samples to get a feel for the level I was willing to handle. I'll be going back the next time I'm in town, I want to try out their salads next time. read more

I'm a home brewer but when I run out I like their Moo Joos. Mid November 2017 I bought 2 6-packs of it from Westside Liquor in Wilmar. They were both BAD; undrinkable! I wrote Brau Bros through their website letting them know they might have some bad product out there and no word. After two weeks I wrote them again and also through facebook. The message was read but no response. I don't understand why they wouldn't want to find out what the deal is especially when it's bad product on the shelves in the holiday season and people would be buying it? They have lost a fan. read more

Stopped out for the HopFest on Saturday...FINALLY making it out to the brewery!! Fantastic joint with great staff!! Love the Lucan Fire Truck that holds the taps!! Love that there is two leather couches just inside the door! The tap room is spacious and comfortable!! Unfortunately I didn't realize they served food, so I can't comment on it...but the menu did sound appetizing!! All the staff were really friendly and informative. The HopFest was.....FANTASTIC!!! Totally enjoyed my trip out to Brau Brothers, thank you!! read more

For a smaller town-this place would be a hit in the Twin Cities! I was in the area for a meeting and looking for a place to dine that was a sad Standard American restaurant - this place was far more than I expected! Even better, we found out it was the very brewery that makes my partners favorite beer. While I'm more of a wine gal, I was very pleased with the flight of dark brews that arrived at our table. The food was better than average- especially for a town of this size. The burger was good and side salad was spring greens (which I love). My partners Bisson stroganoff wrap was interesting. Wasn't sure what to expect. Good but not exceptional. All in all, it will easily be my favorite place to eat when I come back to the area. read more

Brau Brothers Brewing - Beer!! Obviously phenomenal !! Had the chipotle burger and it was spot on!! - Breweries Near Me - Marshall, Minnesota

I used to be a Moo Joos fan and purchased it regularly from my local liquor store. My daughter lives in the Marshall area and has raved about Brau's food. Another daughter was at the brewery earlier this summer for a wedding rehersal dinner, and she also told us how great the food was. Thursday, August 15th, we were in town for the birth of our grandchild. We came to town from the cities and we decided it might be a long night, so we wanted some beers and a good meal. We got to the brewery between 9:15 - 9:30, the place was pretty full for trivia, but we found an open 4 top near the bar (there were 3 of us). We received menus and confirmed the kitchen was open, and had our beer order taken. Our beers were delivered by Ana and she took our food order. We ordered a dirty mushroom burger with a side of gravy, a chipotle burger, an order of buffalo wings and a side of fries. It was near 10 PM, and the place had emptied out pretty quickly after trivia. I think we were probably the only ones waiting for food. It seemed to be taking a LONG time for our food and were looking around, we caught Ana's attention and she went to the kitchen and brought our food out. We were missing the side of fries, and told her when she delivered our food. The first indication that our meals had been sitting was that the cup of gravy was crusted over. We tried the fries and tried the burgers, they were not hot.....only warm. Ana was behind the bar so I went up to the bar and told her our food was cold, but we could be happy if we got hot fresh fries. Ana disappeared and came back with the side of fries that was missing. The fries were hot, but not crispy. I would liken them to fries that were either undercooked or had been heated in a microwave. We continued waiting for our "hot" fries while eating our cold burgers. A while later Ana came by and asked how the fries were the 2nd time around. What? The fries she brought were the missing fries. We told her those were the side of fries, not the replacement fries we were expecting. She didn't even acknowledge our comment. I asked for the manager. She told us she was the manager. I said that I was not impressed with the service we were receiving. I reiterated that the food was served cold and she wasn't attempting even to make things right. She proceeded to tell us that she eats there all the time and she knows the food is good. Again, What? This is about our experience. She said she was sorry we felt that way and that she knows the food is good. Frankley, I couldn't even believe we were being treated the way we were. Ana disappeared again and we had to flag her down to come to the table again. Asked again for the manager, she told us again she was the manager (based on how we were being treated I didn't really believe her). I told her again that this was about the worst restaurant experience I've ever had, and if she was the manager she was lacking in training on how to treat customers. When I said I would have had more beer but she never came around to check on us, and that I finally went to the bar to get us water - her response was "I was getting your fries when you went up to the bar to get water". The hot fries we never got?? I said again how BAD the food was, and that even after telling her what could be done to make us happy she made NO attempt to do so. We heard again that she knows the food is good. Then she said "I can comp you beers". Number 1, the beers were good and there was no reason for them to be comped. Secondly, two of the beers were Craftapped so they were already free. She asked if everything was going to be on one check. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and gave her my credit card, thinking she we deduct something from our meals. She came back with our charges. She comped the one beer. And charged us $39.77. For the last time I said that it was the worst restaurant experience I'd ever had, and we should have been paying for the beer and not the food that was not good. She replied that she hoped we'd have a better experience next time. Having worked in food service, and having children that have worked in food service, we are typically very generous tippers. Even when we've had poor food experiences, if the server is doing their job I will still tip them gernerously- and if they're a poor server they will still get something. For the first time in my life, I tipped ZERO. The whole experience with Ana was terrible. That night I did send this information through the "Contact Us" on Brau's website. I did not receive a response, so I emailed them about a week later saying I was shocked to not get a response. I heard back from Mary Brau that they didn't have anything from their "contact Us" on the website. On August 24th I emailed this experience back to Mary, which again, no response from Mary Brau and its nearly a month later. Terrible customer service. read more

Brau Brothers Brewing - Growler of white cap - Breweries Near Me - Marshall, Minnesota

The beer is what to come here for. Tonight I enjoyed 2 sheephead lagers. Cool, crisp with a slightly bitter finish. Very tasty on a warm day The food is run of the mill. The menu tries to come across as cutting edge, maybe for Marshall it is, but the ingredients are low cost and the kitchen help obviously has no passion. The service was OK. It did take quite awhile to get our food. No fault to the server. I'm sure they were short-handed in the kitchen, like many area restaurants.We all had our beverages refilled before our meals came. The prices are reasonable, about $9 for a burger/sandwich and fries. Overall a good place to come-enjoy a beer with your meal, it'll definitely be the highlight of your visit. read more

What an unexpected pleasure. Stop here! Excellent micro brewery, very good food. Onion rings, Tai Chicken salad!! Blood orange stout!

I went here for my birthday today because I have seen it ever day since I've moved here, when I went in with my girlfriend it was 8pm on Monday 8-1-16, MY BIRTHDAY!!!! We sat down and proceeded to be ignored for 25 mins, the manger kept getting himself beers and the waitresses kept actively avoiding us. After that we decided to cut our losses and fall back to Applebee's where we know we can get service. I am a U.S. Veteran and all I wanted to do was have a few beers at my first brewery and they made me feel like garbage. I'm just wondering why you felt the need to ignore not only a paying customer who wants to enjoy your crafts, but also a veteran who fought for you and your rights. Sad panda I will be shaking my head in disappointment every time I pass that bar. Sad Birthday read more

On an earlier visit to Brau Brothers, I found the Muffletta Sandwich to be hot, flavorful and unique. I knew my mother would love it, so when she was visiting from out of town, I had to take her to Brau Brothers! My niece came along and she was excited to give it a try too. What a disappointment to find that even though the menu lists this sandwich, they no longer make it. I reluctantly switched my order to the Hot Brown. What a vast disappointment! The only thing the least bit tasty was the turkey. That whitish bland sauce on the sandwich was the exact opposite of any "mornay" made. The bun desperately needed to be toasted. Where does one buy bacon totally devoid of flavor? Menu language implies that the onion rings are made on-site. They are obviously standard frozen rings, heated on the grill for a faux creative touch. The french fries are still hand cut and very generously portioned. Our service was incredibly slow and it wasn't the waitresses fault. A larger party (only 8) was ahead of us. The kitchen must be tiny and ill equipped to be slowed up by such a small large group. The music was blaring and made for difficult conversation, but it was almost 8 pm. All in all, I am not rushing back, especially as I am not a beer drinker and no other alcohol is available. read more
