    I got a flight and enjoyed all the beers. I also got a burger and thought it was great. The place was quiet on this weekday as we stopped in early for lunch. The building is so interesting and the staff was friendly. I'd come back again next time I'm in town.

    All in all the places pretty nice the chicken was tender. Could use a little more sauce. I think it was supposed to be a lemon chicken. There was a lemon on each chicken. Eggplant roll. Latini was good. They have these little meatballs that they were serving those were really good. They had a little vegetable roll. That was really good. We were at a winning so they were passing around hors d'oeuvres. Chicken taco was roe that was good. The bruschetta I didn't care for too much because they put balsamic on the bread and it took away from what it was actually supposed to be tomato and an onion mix. I have an outside bar. It's pretty cool. That's where the DJ was set up. That's where the dance didn't happen. Unfortunately, I think the drinks were down because I had eight Jamisons and two vodka and Gingerale's and I didn't even get a buzz on. The bathroom faucets are cool.

    Reuben - large, full of savory flavor. Fries - "truffle" wasn't noticeable. Loved the kick of jalapeños in the little side of slaw.

    There were two large parties in the dining area, so it was a bit loud, but helpful because my kids were being crazy. Found it difficult to choose which burger/sandwich, but the waiter kindly pointed me towards "favorites." The kids loved their basic kid-fare, cheeseburger and fingers. I will admit, I was hoping they would save some for me. After confirming that the marble rye was seedless, I went with the Reuben. Ton of flavor - buttery, cheesy, salty, YUM. The truffle fries weren't anything special, still needed salt. We also ordered the Hacksaw. I mean can you go wrong with bacon, cheese sauce, and jalapenos? Plus it was on a pretzel bun. Glad we checked out this place, as it was only 15 min from LEGOLAND and had some good pub food. Would definitely try the apps next time, as everyone else dining there seemed to be enjoying them.

    It amazes me that I went to a place with cheese curds and didn't eat the cheese curds. I... can't adequately explain that one :D Anyway, I discovered downtown Middletown, and I absolutely love downtown. And in the course of photographing downtown with my friend, I noticed a brewery. And therefore visited the brewery, and therefore sampled the beer. Ambiance: Tough, because I went on a relatively quiet Sunday in cold weather. There were a few people around, but plenty of room at the bar or a table without going to the side room. I didn't explore in depth to see if there were additional rooms beyond that, but after we stood at the bar for a minute and the tender arrived, he _did_ ask if we wanted to sit at a table, so I wouldn't know how this works when it gets crowded. But you do get to see the entire distillery room from the main area and the whole thing is a nice historic brick building, so to me it feels just right. Service: Gonna forgive not seeing anyone for a few minutes, because with only a few people around, you don't need more than a single server/bartender, so if he was off helping someone we wait. He was friendly and helpful and talkative once he returned, all good. Food and drink came out promptly, but again I don't know how it works when the place gets crowded. (I know Middletown can bustle in nice weather.) Food/drink: My friend and I each had one beer, since we were on the road. I went for the dark vanilla stout and it was wonderful. Reasonable price for a pint (or 12 oz for a heavy beer like that), and with the special Orange County brewery coupon program they willingly advertised, that got us "2 for 1" beer! Super great to see that going around OCo, as there are a lot of breweries to try with various perks to encourage it. I can say the beer is well worth that coupon, because you will want to drink this tasty stuff. My tummy was kind of going for a pierogi vibe and the bartender said people like that and the pretzels (I'm not as much a pretzel guy) so that made my choice easy. Perhaps I would have liked the curds more, but 8 pierogis are a good amount of food for a "side" and filled my missing vegetable quota from the maple waffle breakfast (see my prior review today!) with the potato filling and caramelized onions on top. Best pierogis ever? Nah. But they were good, and there's a nice variety of food on the menu to choose from. Only downside is that you don't see prices anywhere, but we didn't ask and it wasn't that painful. I'm sure they'd let you know if you asked, so no stars lost. Overall a very nice experience in a very nice town!

    The large dining area that was reserved for a party
    Jennifer T.

    So I have mixed reviews on this spot. Let me explain. I'll start off by saying the reason the place gets 4 stars, instead of less, is because of the amazing service of Alex (give him a raise). Ok, I will now explain. We were a party of 5 excited to try this spot. The vibe seemed nice and the food seemed good. We were informed that since a party had reserved the majority of their sitting area they did not have any seating for 5 in the area still available (4 was the max due to fire violations). They told us to walk outside to their other establishment where the bar and ax throwing and games are for service. This side is just a bar so there was no seating- hugggggge area but no seating lol. We joked as I called it "the largest smallest place I've been to" as this huge spot had no tables just the bar. Alex, the bartender, however was very welcoming and inviting and although he was not prepared to be the only waiter and bartender for the overflow that came over he was so accommodating. He got us a table and our group sat at the table (we were the only group at a table lol). He took our orders, got out drinks from the bar, ran back and forth to the kitchen for condiments as we needed while still caring for the busy bar area-BY HIMSELF. Wow he was so friendly and inviting and made us want to stay (unlike the front staff who seemed to care less). The food was delicious (koodos to the chef) and I liked that any beef burger could be changed to a mushroom or chicken burger instead and mine was delicious. Would I go back ? I think so especially if Alex was there. Just be aware they may not be able to sit you if you party is greater than 4

    The two girls working the bar and tables worked their asses off today. This gives me hope for the next generation, as these two worked harder than imaginable. The food -- the pretzels and the onion dip -- were excellent. The beer? Also excellent. This is certainly a place to come back to.

    My wife and I opted for an early dinner. The place wasn't crowded, which we appreciated. The fried shrimp basket for starters was delicious. My wife enjoyed the Bavarian pretzels, while I went for the Big Bad Wolf burger. We also sampled some of the beer. Overall, a good experience, and we plan to return.

    Took my daughter to Legoland and we searched for kid friendly breweries near our hotel and this place popped up. Beautiful old building that looks like it could have been a factory a long time ago. Right when you walk in the front door there is a glass room where they brew some of the beer. My daughter thought it was so neat to see all the equipment that's used. The food was so good. She got the Mac & Cheese and I got the The Walk-Off Bratwurst with Truffle Fries. The fries were so good that she stole half of them. We picked up some merch which is always a must. She got a T-shirt, no kids sizes so she got the XS Adult to wear in the future and I got a pint glass for the collection at home. If we were locals we would definitely come back. Great find!

    CBR with fried chicken and pepper jack cheese
    Alyssa R.

    Went here with some friends for a birthday on a Tuesday night. We were able to sit in the beer garden for a long time playing board games, drinking, and eating. We all stuck to their mixed drinks and all of them were delicious. I especially liked their "dirty shirley" but I also loved shirley temples when i was younger. The girl taking our order and making our drinks was very fast which was great. I got the fried CBR chicken sandwich which they were able to put pepper jack cheese on. It was delicious! The fries here are also really good but I was disappointed that I asked for beer cheese on my fries and they gave me a cold little plastic ramekin on the side. I definitely wouldnt pay extra for cheese again.

    Oh My Cod with truffle fries (husssh they come with all sandwiches ‍).
    Vilma D.

    So let me tell you about this place. I've been here several times and never disappoints . I've had the Oh My Cod twice cause I love fish sandwiches and it's always fresh. But their Reuben is good too. Drinks beer and yes they have wine!! You will be very happy. Everyone is nice, food delicious and ample parking. Downtown up and growing Middletown. I think I'll call this area MiDi for Middletown Downtown district.

    Short rib sandwich
    Marisa M.

    Sat outside in the beer garden with my friend for a drink and some food. Really cute place. Looked like people could play big jenga and ping pong. I got a short rib sandwich which was essentially a philly cheesesteak type thing. It was good. Glad I got the hot cherry peppers on the side. They were too spicy. I liked the clenson cream ale. I wish it was creamyer. I had some Irish cream ales before that were richer. My friend liked her blueberry pomegranate sour beer, though she wanted the beet one and they were out. She like her bratwurst but said there is too much cheese sauce and bread. Fries are good though. I subbed a salad and it was no extra cost which was great. There were a lot of wasps around outside. My only suggestion is for them to look for a nest somewhere.

    Would this place be good for a rehearsal dinner?

    Sure if you want an informal place. If you want an intimate place or fancy food, this probably wouldn't be the best place.

    Do they have vegetarian dishes?

    Not really. They have some good appetizers with no meat like artichoke dip and great fries. There might be a sandwich, just don't remember.

The eggs were perfectly cooked soft and buttery. And the sour dough toast with that perfect sour dough tang was the perfect edition. Even the coffee in the French press takes the coffee to another level. But talking about Oak & Reed flair the signature waffle was possibly one of the best things I have eaten. The waffle with that pearl sugar is the way a waffle should be made but then they have that waffle filled with Dutch caramel and that mascarpone on top is perfect. The tang, sweetness, butteriness, the crisp yet fluffy waffle it all was an equation for an amazing breakfast item. I could eat that every time I go. Truly amazing. The staff in Oak & Reed is always amazing attentive and kind. Live the open kitchen concept.

So I was excited when we finally got a chance to try it. And here is where it may have been my fault, maybe I hyped it up too much. So the funny thing when we arrived at the restaurant and I saw another friend. She told me it was her first time and it wasn't good (this was a warning!) she said especially the chicken and waffles. So again maybe it's my fault because I didn't listen. My heart was set on the chicken and waffles and she was right. It was not good. Like how do you mess up chicken and waffles? It was lacking all types of flavor. It was bad. Why 3 stars than? Because their Spicy Pork Congee was amazing! It's an Asian rice dish and everything that lacked flavor in the chicken and waffles was made up in this dish. The problem? This is only an appetizer. It needs to be an entree, which would mean making it a larger portion. It was fantastic! They also had a decent beer selection which we got. The inside of the restaurant is cute. It has so much potential I just think maybe a revamp of the recipes. But maybe another dish would be good. We came for brunch so I don't know how their dinner menu is. I will probably give them another chance because how amazing the congee was I know they have potential to be great.
