    Loaded tator tots

    A small brewery catering to the neighborhood- such a win! Friendly bar tenders who will answer all your questions, especially as you build your own flight. Plus, great food, friendly vibe, board games for all to enjoy, outside patio and easy parking. Even for those who don't drink beer or cider, this is a great place to gather with friends, enjoy some food and grab a board game to just chill out.

    My friends and I came here for Thursday night trivia. This was my first time here and I had a great time; the staff was kind, the food was really good and pretty reasonably priced and the trivia was really fun. We didn't even get top 5 but we had a great time as a group. The Hazy Gold cider was actually really good, for someone who is 2 steps below a fan of cider and beer. I'd definitely come back here for a chill time and we plan to come back to future trivia nights!

    Such a great spot to relax with friends or family over a fantastic beer or cider! They offer an extensive variety of ciders and are more than happy to help you find the perfect one to match your taste. The service was warm and welcoming it is definitely a place worth visiting!

    Happened to come across City Orchard for a musical showcase. Was pleasantly surprised! Tasty ciders; I tried the Lavender Royale & Cherry Red, yummy good. The Mushroom Pizza was delicious but could have used some more Shrooms :). Cool decor, a giant wooden tree steals the show! Large outdoor area with a nice view of Downtown. Great customer service from staff and bathroom was super clean. Ample free parking. Definitely will be back for some brews and views.

    Very cute brewery - variety options ranging from fruity ciders to beers. Very cute and small place with around ~40 seats combined for indoor and outdoor. Fun place to just hang out. Has different events on certain nights like Drag Shows, Trivia, Comedy Shows, Paint and Sips & more. A nice local place to check out.

    Love the vibes in this place and a big fan of most of their ciders. Their pizza is tasty. People are friendly and they host a lot of events but unfortunately the acoustics aren't great.

    Cheese pizza
    Suzie E.

    This place was awesome! The drinks were good and that's cheese pizza was the best! Services was good, it was the type where you order at the bar. Also we went on a Friday night and they had comedy show and it was good. Something to do on a Friday night! Plus they have happy hour all day! Truly enjoyed!

    Each cider I've tried here has been tasty and the staff is very helpful if you have questions about what to order. When the Houston weather is nice, their patio is a great place to be! Lots of seating both in and outside.

    Decent location but could be hard to find if you aren't looking for it. Drinks are great and bartender are knowledgeable of their drinks. Love getting g the flights to try different kinds of ciders. Great outside and inside seating areas.

    This is my favorite place to go for a cider and pizza. The atmosphere is fantastic and the bartenders are always friendly. City Orchard NEVER disappoints. Also, they almost always have something going on. Love this place!

    Daniel V.

    Excellent service. The lavender cider was surprisingly amazing. The Pesto Italiana Panini was exceptional and hit the spot. I recommend the flight with 4 ciders, they let you taste them before ordering if you're unsure on which 4 to choose. Will be back'

We stopped in and I asked if they did flights and I simply got a rude "nope" and the guy just looked away. So I ordered a Happy Accidents pale ale that was decent. I asked if they had stickers and I got the same "Nope". I asked if they ever had them or if they were just out, "out" was the reply. Not exactly a chatty guy. So, this most recent visit, I came with a couple buddies. We stopped in before the World Baseball Classic. Still no flights and still no stickers. (The stickers are important for my garage man cave wall!). However, the beertender was a much friendlier lady this time and I got an orange fudge stout that wasn't very good. The place itself is pretty cool for the most part. Really big outdoor area with a bunch of shipping containers turned patio covers. There are a bunch of pinball machines, and the decor is fun. They are also heavy on the cannabis side of things. Areas for improvement: Get some stickers offer flights so people can try your beers parking sucks

It's nestled in central Oak Forest area amongst residential homes and bungalows and I just love that vibe. I usually visit during the week day so not a big crowd. I enjoy sitting out on the patio or couch. There's usually a food truck outside for small bites and burgers as well. In addition to beers on tap, they also have this cool concept of in which flavored ice cubes of orange juice and different flavors are placed inside Prosecco, for a refreshing mimosas which I thought was neat. Parking is located by the right side of the building as there's a huge lot. Payment is required.

It's a small place but the tap list was large, the atmosphere was relaxing with plants everywhere (bonus points since my girlfriend is a botanophile....that's a big word for lover of plants), and there were hiking pictures everywhere. I got a flight and sat outside. The flight included 6 beers (SCORE!) 4 IPA's, a stout and a hefeweizen but you can get unlimited 4 oz beers. All of them really good Humboldt Hazy being my favorite. It was delicious, hoppy, juicy glass of perfection. The beertenders were very friendly and knowledgeable. They have food trucks that park out front plus there are other eateries down the street. Really cool place

They have a full sit-down restaurant, bar, outdoor patio, biergarten, gift shop, barber shop, dentist....ok I may have made up the last 2. When we got here, we 1st went to their gift shop so I can get a sticker for my garage wall and ended up picking up a tin tacker too. They even threw in a few free glasses. Score! Everything was reasonably priced too. From there we went to the Biergarten because they had a huge TV to watch the football game. To my slight disappointment, the tap list outside was limited and they didn't have flights, so we went back inside. We grabbed 2 seats at the bar and I got my flight. The tap list is very large, and they have 5 rotating tap room exclusives that they call "Fun Series". I always love to see this. Take notes Shiner! Their flights are 5 beers each (always love the larger flight boards.....also take more notes Shiner with your measly 3 beer flights) so I got 3 different IPA's, a brown ale and a pumpkin lager. I usually hate pumpkin beers, but this one was quite good. My favorite was the Rodeo Clown Double IPA. The lady friend was able to get a non-alcoholic beer that they also brew. We didn't get any food, but I will certainly be back to try it.

They prepared my food ahead of time. Pizzas, Brussels sprouts that we all fought over, hummus, nachos, and 3 sets of wings. When we arrived the tables had reserved signs with our group name. It was 3pm so we were all starving. We ordered drinks at the bar and some of my group members pointed out all the pride flags making them feel welcome and happy to patronize this place. People commented on the ginger beer and loved every single thing on our tables. Most awesome is that they didn't want a deposit two weeks before when I called even though I offered since they were making so much food for 20. I wanted them to know we were really going to show up. As a group of artists, we loved the artwork especially the mural with Houston letters. We took a group photo and some of us headed back on the road to SA completely satisfied. Others loved the vibe of the place and neighborhood and decided to stay longer and explore some more. Thank you Gristworkz!

    Inedible steak night…read more I've been coming to Gristworkz. They brew their own beers, have a huge kitchen with pizzas and finger foods. Each night has a special. They have indoors and outdoors seating. They accept dogs on the patio. Parking is rather easy. But this time, on Wednesday, the food didn't meet expectations. Service was great. The two gentlemen are at the bar, super friendly and ready to take your order. Wednesday is steak night. We came here to try and this will be the first and last night for the food, and might even be on the bottom of my list to get out of my way for beers as well. We've got two orders of steak, $25 each, which is rather affordable, or so we thought. You have to order sides, which is fine. I chose brussel sprouts and caramelized onions and a basket of tater tots. You get a buzzer. The brussel sprouts came out first. Cooked and ok to eat. Then, the steaks took a while. The entertaining part is that you can see the kitchen. But I see one of the cooks touching the meats for a bit too long. Fine, use a thermometer to ensure the steaks are cooked to our requests. But my rare steak was served luke warm. I might be too demanding. Let's see the second order, which took an additional dozen minutes to be served. At a medium rare, the steak was unfortunately inedible. Luke warm once again, and ultra chewy. No matter what teeth, what knife, whatever cutting method, it was a piece of plastic. I was horrified. Was I too harsh on steaks ? Neither orders had flavors besides a quick peppery taste. The caramelized onions weren't a side, they were served on top of the second steak order. Let's not forget about the tator tots. When they were served after the brussel sprouts, they were also close to cold. I asked to be warmed up or redone. Then, they tasted like full of oil. Was their frying oil not hot enough ? I don't know what's happening but all the food orders failed. The one memory I have from the kitchen is staring at the cooks touching flipping massaging those steaks with the thermometer. With gloves but they weren't edible. So... Did she know ? Back to the bartenders, I mentioned the results and they did not wait to refund both orders, which was a very generous act. Last comment was "they didn't receive the proper meat order". Then, don't serve it !!! Say they're sold out ! Something. Don't pretend to do something well to lose the trust of the patreon. Very disappointed. It was supposed to be a steak night, enjoying the cooler weather outdoors with beers. We finished that first and one beer and ran out as soon as we could. Still hungry.

They used to support the Sabercats back when they were still around. Overall, it's a reliable neighborhood brewery that's firmly in our regular rotation. You can also get their in cans to go if you want to!
