I finally visited this brewpub one evening and tried a couple items. As the bartender told me, you can't go wrong with any of the burgers. As I quickly found out, this is partly because they use slow dough buns and 44 farms beef. I ordered the bbq bacon cb which was excellent! I really liked the bbq sauce but mainly noticed it at first bite. The French fries are fresh cut, which are excellent as well. To go along with my burger, I added a brown ale. Theirs is pretty strong and seemed to have notes of coffee. I also had the 6 pc wings, buffalo mild flavor, and these were good too. Some reviews mention you may get neglected when sitting outside, but I sat at the bar for premium service which I received. read more

We've been here a few times. My wife didn't like the bread that the Ruben or her last burger came on. Too fat & hard for her taste, as she prefers softer buns. I had the fried shrimp po boy tacos. I've also had the Ruben & the Togarashi fries before. No complaints about the food from me. Of course, the brew selection is pretty good, with some seasonal offerings. Pumpkin beer isn't my thing but I'm sure some people like it. The service was ok. I didn't get the side that I ordered, but I wasn't charged for it either. Our waiter was busy, so perhaps they're short handed. Overall, I like it. There are a couple more things I want to try, like the Fuji apple - butternut squash slaw & the Kung Pao brussels sprouts! read more

The food is quite good, ambiance is great. I had the Dunkle beer and found it to be exceptional. Very dark but light like an Irish stout. Flavor was perfect. Might be the best microbrewery beer ever. It has an outside bar right on a low traffic street. A perfect place to chill out. read more

Love this place! My go-to is the local link board and either one (or three) of their in-house dark beers, or a mimosa if it's the weekend. They have flights where you can try 4 different beers and see which you prefer. They also have $1 mimosas on Sunday! Can't beat that price plus the menu is solid. Had a bite of my friends Schnitzel sandwich and it had good flavor and was a large portion. I've always had a good experience here and they have indoor and outdoor seating, including balcony seating which is perfect for cooler days. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Really not sure how this place has high marks. The beers had great taste to them but very flat. The wings are nice and crispy but I decided to try the jalapeno peanut butter ones and was not impressed. I'm sure the wings would be way better with traditional wing sauce so if you go I wouldn't count them out just yet. The chicken sandwich had a nice batter on it but didn't pair well with the bread or toppings. All in all, I will not be back. read more

My wife and I came to this place on a whim and I have to say I'm impressed. For a brewery the food was amazing. We had the chips and salsa and the pimento cheeseburger. The chips and salsa rivaled a good Mexican restaurant and the burger was juicy and very tasty. The fries were house-made and VERY good. They brew their own beer on the premises have a good variety of beers and you can taste anything. Karly helped us outside in the bar area and she was knowledgeable and helpful. Good beer. Great food. You can't miss with this one. read more

Fabulous Food and a great selection of beer! The staff are very nice and the patio is a wonderful place to eat and try new beer on a beautiful day! read more

I have wanted to try this restaurant so, I tried it for lunch today. I did not have a beer because it was just too early in the day for me. I ordered the lunch cheeseburger with everything. It came with fries. The meat on the burger was cooked medium rare, it tasted good. The bun had too much bread and it needed to be grilled or toasted. It had tomatoes, cheese and pickles. The fries were not very good. The service was very good. I might return and try the beers but will not have the burgers. read more

Loved this spot! We sat at the bar outside. The food was really tasty and you can tell they use all fresh ingredients. The food didn't take long, but tasted like it was made with great care. Lots of yummy beer on tap to choose from! Staff is friendly and helpful. We will be back for sure! read more

Really wanted to like this place and support a local business but unfortunately after trying three times I will not be returning. All three times we experienced service issues with time waiting to order and time waiting for food. There are always new faces and staff shortages. Searching for our waitstaff throughout the process. No drink refills not enough silverware food orders not right.... The beer is good which is why I gave 2 stars. Unfortunate read more

Right in the midst of historic Tomball in a really cool new building? Yes Please. A wide variety of menu items that are definitely unique and delicious. Service was great and the atmosphere exceptional. I am not a beer drinker so was disappointed they didn't offer a cider but realize they are serving their own brews. I took a few folks from out of town with me and they were thrilled with the whole place. read more

What a great place! When in Tomball this is the place to kick it up and enjoy a well brewed beer at, Fire Ant Brewing. During a recent event in Tomball we decided to stop in for a beer and a bite. The weather was pleasant so we decided to sit on the patio. The patio is precious with an outside bar. We wanted a bite to eat so we tried the Texas Long, fries and a flight of beer. The service was point on and we received our meal about 15 minutes later. There is plenty of seating inside too. The Texas long was in a slightly larger hot dog bun and was big enough for us to split. The flight options has about 15 variations from light to super dark. We tried four of the lightest beers which we prefer anyway. I'll post a photo so you can see the size of the flight. We'll be back! read more

My sister and I found this place on YELP and it's AMAZING. Nice selection of beers and great menu items to pair well. If you like dark beers, I would suggest the Destination Dunkel and the Togarashi fries to start. Then you should definitely follow with the Fire Ant Reuben and Pimento Cheeseburger. The food was delicious and Connor our server was very attentive. Great place, Great food, you can't ask for more!!!!! read more

We decided to give this place a try again, reluctantly, since the hubby wanted to try out some of the beers he had not yet tried. We have visited previously but left disappointed due to customer service being so poor and slow. Well some of the faces have changed, but not the service issues. They are still SLOW with order taking and food delivery, as well as inattentive to tables. We noticed the table next to us was also frustrated and having issues also. My husband had to go the bar or chase down our server to order beer. Once we finally got our food, the hamburgers were not cooked to order, they were overcooked. Our server was annoyed and clearly did not want address this with the kitchen, or management, so we took that as a sign and did not send it back to the kitchen. $80+ dollars later we left frustrated and still hungry. We like to support local business, but there are so many other options nearby. We have read great things about Paradigm Brewing Company and plan to try them next time. read more

I have been to this location multiple times since it's opened and have always enjoyed the food and beer selection but the service has been the biggest let down overall. We recently visited the location this past weekend for dinner and we were three different groups that asked to sit at the "communal" center table but we asked to be three different groups since we were all paying for ourselves. The hostess said no problem at all and just let your waitress know. The waitress came over and we explained that we were three separate groups that require separate tickets and are not together. The waitress said sure, no problem and took our order. They were fairly busy and service wasn't great, we sat for 10 minutes at the table before anyone came over to introduce themselves and minimal interaction throughout the time we were there. The waitress brought the bill over with a "mandatory" gratuity of 20% because we were a large party of 10 or more people. I spoke to her and explained that we're not together, we asked to be treated as separate tickets and you said "no problem". She went to speak to her manager and the manger so we came in together and "knew" each other so that's a large party. I explained the conversation with the hostess and that there were multiple families (small town) that we knew that we were all eating at the same time and there were 4-5 families sitting at the "communal" table so you policy (clearly stated on the menu) seems convoluted in order to appease what ever situation suits you. She denied my request again and I told the waitress I would have given 25% if she would of handled the situation better and not forced the issue just because I understand the business. Poorly handled, manager never came over to discuss with us and hung the waitress out to dry and terrible way to treat your local customers. I will not be returning anymore after this failed attempt. read more

Very tastey mix of brews. Nice atmosphere inside or out. Food is above average. I would recommend at least try it once.

We always come here for the nacho, brews, and Reuben! So delicious! Today we traded out the Reuben and splurged on the bread pudding. What a treat, it was delicious and I definitely recommend! read more

Tried eating here tonight during Tomball's mom's night out event. This event is amazing with stores open late, 5-9. However, this restaurant consistently closes their kitchen at 7:30 during this event. I came to the Christmas shopping event last Christmas and was told by our waiter as soon as we sat down we had to order because the kitchen was closing. Fast forward to tonight, tried to walk in at 7:34 and a manager stopped me at the door and asked if we were there to eat. I said yes, to which he replied "well my kitchen is closed", and laughed as he said it. I can honestly say I have never had a manager laugh at me for wanting to enter a restaurant. What a pitiful establishment and staff. Do better Fire Ant Brewing. By the way, the restaurant two doors down happily welcomed us in. read more

I like the vibe of this place...good service...yummy snacks...definitely like sitting on patio (went there before it became hell on earth hot)...only issue is they only serve beer and wine...their business would explode if they added liquor drinks to the menu....maybe they'll see this and make a change...hope hope read more

Today my girlfriend and I decided to check out the place and we were disappointed. Good area but the food was average. They provided "Spicy" plates but in reality, it wasn't spicy at all! The appetizer was not at all good, the nachos that we ordered were promoted as spicy with jalapenos so we decided to try them. When we got our nachos we were disappointed because they looked and tasted about the same. Horrible. The servers were horrible. Our waitress mainly ignored us, we waited around 10 minutes after being seated to place a drink order. All the tables had drinks except ours. She came to our table twice the entire time we were there. Unfortunately, we felt like we were racially profiled as the manager or owner checked up on every single table but ours, and another table of people who were Hispanic. Will not be coming back. I do not recommend coming here, the price is not worth the food. read more

What a nice little trendy place. Stopped in for a bite on a Monday night. Im not a beer drinker but i have heard the food good. We started with the buffalo wings. LOVED the sauce. Very tangy and vinegary just like i like. The schnitzel sandwich was crispy and delicious. Definitely a gastro pub vibe. Cant wait to try it again. read more

Great atmosphere. Good beer an in a cool little place in Tomball. Highly suggest going there.

Great appetizers, food, beer & service! The brussel sprouts are phenomenal & we always get the togarashi fries The pretzel is huge and comes with a cheese sauce and a sinus clearing mustard We also had the sausage plate which looked excellent, it came with a variety of pickled veg too! If they're not too busy, grab a flight, with so many tasty brews, it can be hard to decide. read more

Went into the restaurant to get a tea. Was out shopping in stores. I'm so glad I wasn't planning on eating because the bartender with bandanna oldest one working was beyond rude. The other waitress who was very nice offered my friend a free tea while me self and other friend had to pay. Not only did I have to pay she also didn't give me my change ! She didn't deserve a tip! Only tip she should get is please work on your people skills. Won't be back! read more

This is one of our family's favorite Tomball restaurants! It's a go to. Our two and one year old love the Mac and cheese. It's delicious, homemade and well crafted, thankfully not Kraft. Our must have items are the Ruben, wings, targorishi fries (always worth the up charge to substitute), schnitzel sandwich and crisp noodles. Servers are always laid back and attentive. Thankful for this gem and highly recommend! read more

Well I like about two things there but I've not had great experiences with this place. I'll only speak of the most current experience where I just wanted to order the texas pretzel but was told I could not because they "don't have to go boxes." I'm asked if they could just hand it to me? I don't really need a box and I saw that they served their food on cardboard plates anyway. Nope. Denied. But I could sit down and eat. ???? That is the craziest thing I've heard. I wasn't asking for a meal. read more

We enjoy eating here every so often. Burgers are very good.... Especially the pimento burger. It never disappoints! They have a couple of beers that we enjoy also. read more

I love this place! The owners are so sweet and I love that they allow our fur babies!

I love the concept and having brewery serve food and getting table side service. Unfortunately we had worst service ever! Had to go to hostess after sitting at table for 15 min without service. IPA was disappointing. Decided not to order food bc service was so poor. Had to flag someone down to pay tab and then they didn't pick up card and had to wave them down again 10 minutes later. Go to paradigm brewing instead. read more

Was looking for a local brewery to try and this place was great! The menu is limited, not sure I'd that's due to COVID or if that's normal, but the food was really good. We started with a flight of craft beers to see which ones we liked the best and our server helped us find the best ones. They definitely have a great selection of in-house beers! Now that the weather is starting to cool down I'm looking forward to going back and sitting on the patio! read more

We also had some fries, nice fresh well salted fries. Beer was excellent. read more

Took my niece who was visiting from out of state. Good food. Good food. Conversation possible

Only one visit, so this opinion is a work in progress. Fire Ant has all the requisite brew pub cool, but with a less-stuffy Tomball vibe. There's a decent amount of outdoor seating, and plenty of fans as summer arrives. During our visit, the menu was still in COVID mode, so we didn't get the full treatment. In general, the food was better than typical pub food, though my Reuben was (if this is possible) was a little TOO rich and greasy. Also did a beer flight, and particularly liked the Kolsch and the Dunkel. Good service as well. read more

Went for lunch on a gorgeous Saturday morning. Highly impressed with the menu options and even more impressed with the food. Prices were descent and fair for the quality meals and location. We ate quite a few items from their menu to try out as much as we could eat and was not disappointed. Sweet Tea Chicken sandwich was OMG! We got it without the bun. The links and sausages are exquisite and their pickled veggie selection is the best I've had. The aiolis were great! All of them! And we topped it off with a chocolate mousse deliciousness and the bread pudding was better than my momma's. read more

Great place in Tomball! Giant pretzel with beer cheese is as German as it can get... And oh so good! Schnitzel sandwich was good but needs a little extra sauce. I dipped it in beer cheese and loved it. Burgers are also great. I'd like to have a cider option because I don't drink beer and wine isn't my favorite. It would be great if you guys would get a full bar. I'd gladly up my rating to 5 stars! read more
