A yummy spot! Loved the pizza. Tasty and the perfect meal when you're hungry. They even made my sister a pizza with a pesto base even though they never had done it before. The good news is.. she loved it. read more

In defiance of the five-star rating, our meal was just okay. Maybe I should have gotten the pizza because they do have a pizza oven! Or the popper egg rolls sounded really good! I got the hot mess burger and it wasn't hot, just a mess! The cheese sauce was curdled and didn't have much flavor. The bacon and onions were great! The burger itself was a little overdone - didn't come out medium as requested. And the tots were underdone, crispy on the outside but still a little uncooked on the inside. They must bake them instead of fry them, but I'm just guessing. It was all edible but just not exciting. Sometimes when you see a five-star rating your expectations are too high, and that might have been the case here. read more

As soon as you enter, you know it'll be a good experience. Colten was running the front counter, and he was so friendly and informative. He helped us pick our beer and made great recommendations! We went with the Big Money, a breakfast beer with orange purée in it (tasted like a beer creamsicle!) and the lemon shandy. Both were tasty and very drinkable, and can't beat the price at $6 for a 23oz. The pizza was awesome too- the perfect amount of jalapeño with a drizzle of sauce, and the wood fire oven added perfect smokiness to the crust. Highly, highly recommend. I know I'll be back to try more beers and the elote pizza next! read more

We stopped in to the downtown location for a drink & ended up staying for dinner. We really enjoyed the beer. We got a couple pizzas, the white with mushrooms & truffle & a pepperoni; they are both delicious! They have a great pizza oven. Service was friendly & good but pretty deserted in this big room on a Wednesday night. read more

Food and selection was much better than expected for such a small town. Community atmosphere was fun and representative of the locale. My steak was perfectly prepared. Service was friendly and as expected. read more

Really good pizza! We would Define's top here again! Service was excellent, cute sports bar.

We stopped in at 7;30 on a Saturday night, excited about the pizza and IPA's on tap. There was a sign on the door saying they were only serving pizzas. Weird, but we wanted pizza so, fine. We walked inside and the place smelled faintly of rotten eggs. After some debate, we opted to stay and give it a chance. We went to the counter to order and were told they were out of ALL 4 of their IPA's. Given that was the reason we were there, we turned around at left. Not sure what is going on at this place, but I can't recommend it. read more

Black Friday pizza and beer at Deliverance Pub in Hays, KS. Pizza has hot sausage, green chilis, hot oil, and hot honey on chewy crust from a serious wood fired pizza oven. Beer is a local brew called Grit and Spice. Think of a hint of jalapeño in a really cold pale ale beer. Yum. The location is a little out of the way, and the decor is pretty concrete and gray, but the food and the service are stellar. Hays, KS - you have won our hearts! read more

Passing through and wanted something other than fast food. Didn't try the beers. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger & tots. Service (order at counter) friendly & helpful. Wasn't asked how I wanted the burger cooked. Flavorful but a little overcooked for my taste. Good flavor. Tots seasoned well. Space open & inviting. read more

I ordered a small size Cesar salad. Everyone at my table got their food before me. It took one hour for the salad get to the table, after reminding them 45 minutes in. read more

SO GOOD!!! On a trip to Colorado and this was a great stop for lunch very filling! I got the California Club and upgraded my fries to queso fries. It was so good I cleaned my plate! The only thing I would change is take the cheese off of the club, but that's only because I don't like cheese on my sandwiches(I forgot when I was ordering). We had great service and everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Booths and chairs are available. Plenty of TVs if you're coming to watch a game and some really modern artwork and murals on the walls. Overall a super cool place! The menu is digital above the register, but very easy to read. You order first at the register and then sit down. read more

Good pizza and burgers. Interesting selection of homemade beers. Wood fired pizza oven.

Excellent pizza, garlic knots, and a variety of beers! This is our favorite place to go when visiting Hays!

Stopped in on my way home to Denver after a decent drive from St. Louis. I needed some liquid refreshment from the drive. This place has an excellent beer menu and a really good food menu. The beer tenders are excellent and can answer questions you have about what you're about to drink. The burgers here are good. Next time I'm driving through I might stop and get one of their other food options. read more

Pizza is delicious, and the tots are crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. Wonderful selection of beer!

Traveling through town, and stopped here for dinner. The food was good, and the beer was fantastic. Can't wait to come here the next time we are in town and try the pizza. read more

Great place- really clean, super kind staff. Pizza and salads were great. Glad we pulled off the 70 and adventured into town!

Awesome place!!! Knowledgeable bartender. Highly recommend this place. Loved the IPA's and cocktails. read more

Great beer. Great pizza. Great garlic knots. Stopped by on road trip. Check them out.

Best Pizza in Hays. Had lunch there today. Great food and local craft beer. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I also appreciate that the background music was just the right volume. A lot of places have the music so loud it's hard to hold a conversation across the table. Highly recommend! read more

Great beer, great pizza, great service. What more can you ask for? Worth the time to try it.

We stopped here on our way through Kansas on our way to Colorado. We were not disappointed. The staff went out of their way to explain the different beers they brewed there. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was one of the best I've had. Do not skip the fries. They have different toppings. We had truffle fries and green chili fries. YUM! read more

Try the Cheeseburger Tots! Crunchy Tots loaded with a deconstructed cheeseburger and topped with their special burger sauce. Yum, Yum! I also recommend the One 11 Amber on the side. read more

Fantastic. Best beer in town - most innovative, wide variety, and not just your 'super hoppy' standard microbrewery taste. As for food, it's great. A family favorite for us. read more

Friendly. Good food. Good beer. Enjoyed it!!! Stopped in on our road trip to Colorado--made our overnight stop in Hays memorable.

Friendly bartender & staff and great cold brew! A nice atmosphere. Tasty cheese curds!

Fantastic pizza, and enjoyed the drinks we had as well. My wife especially loved the pickles on the cheeseburger pizza.

Stopped here after driving through from Colorado, who is big on beer. This brewery had great pizza, cheese bread, burgers and beer. Definitely would recommend this place if you're driving by or live by here. read more
