Veggie pizza was very good, filled me up. Crooked Dock Pale Ale was very tasty even though only 5% +\-. I finished with a pint of the Pure Passion IPA 8% really nice. Beer prices were low for a change. If in the area I will definitely visit again. read more

Fox River Brewing - Veggie pizza - Breweries Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Food is always amazing! Friendly servers, usually pretty quick service. Convenient mall location if you're out shopping.

I've never been disappointed here. This review was prompted by a generous and affordable serving of beef tacos. I was skeptical with only two tacos listed in the menu for the serving, but the flour tortillas were amply filled and then some! A perfect light dinner that was filling, without being overwhelming. The beer is always good and fun to sample. read more

Fox River Brewing - This is one of the two Baracobao beef tacos I ordered. Plentiful portion size at affordable cost! Plus chips and salsa! - Breweries Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Appleton doesn't have a ton of good places to eat. This restaurant is good eats for the area, not necessarily great compared to bigger cities but decent. They have their own beers on tap, about 8-10 you can choose depending on the time of year. For something different, try the blueberry beer. It's a good balanced beer; it is not overly sweet or in your face. I like their fish tacos. Service is pretty good and we are usually seated fairly quickly. The patio is nice in the summer. read more

I ordered the southwest flatbread and it was pretty good and I also tried their blonde ale that wasn't bad then I had a wild orgasm Martini that was sub par. It was the turkey sandwich that was horrible. My girlfriend struggled through almost half of it (she isn't picky at all) and pulled apart the other half. It had not only tasted rancid, but was dark grey with spots of black read more

Fox River Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Fox River Brewing company is located right inside the mall which is very convenient. The food is much better than mall food, to say the least. They have tons of seating both outdoors and indoors. They also have bathrooms. Their menu has a large selection with many options. The options range greatly in price. I ended up with the Grains and something salad, which had falafel, mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, and a coconut curry sauce. The falafel had a little kick to it, but I liked it (and I'm not a huge fan of spicy food). The tables have crayons so you can draw on the paper which is fun. It was very chilly inside though--I wish I had brought a jacket. read more

This has always been one of my favorite places for over 10 years now. They kinda lost me for awhile when they kept changing the menu. Don't fix it if it isn't broke! Some of the best things they took off the menu and never brought back. They've messed with the quesadillas countless times. Which is my favorite to order. I'll never get over that they got rid of the birthday cupcakes, this used to be a tradition for me and my mom. Once they got rid of so many things we just ended up not coming anymore. Now I barely ever stop by, but I did swing by over the holidays this year and grabbed the quesadillas because I wanted to see if they'd still be my favorite. They were still amazing besides them being full of huge chunks of onions and mushrooms....yuck. This makes them heavy and soggy. Please go back to the old way with chicken and peppers and cheese with southwest sauce on side! But I did have 2 spicy margaritas, although they tasted really good, they weren't served in margarita glass which to me throws off the vibe. You don't order a martini or wine and get it served in a pint glass, so why serve a margarita in a pint glass? Anyways, I'll be back I'm sure in time for another menu change. read more

Fox River Brewing - Salad BLACKENED CHICKEN SALAD - Breweries Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Not impressed with sanitation when it comes to cleaning the tables. Serving sizes are small for the sides. Only thing that I liked was the salmon. Service was alright considering how busy they were but got seated fast. Mixed drink took a good ten minutes to get. Won't be coming back. read more

Fox River Brewing - Dirty table - Breweries Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Avoid this place The beer is questionable at best. The food is horrific the service might be the only redeeming thing about this place. Poor quality beer with few if any bottled options Greasy greasy pizza And an assortment of pure packaged garbage they only know or are equipped to deep fry Can't imagine ever returning read more

Stopped here for lunch on Christmas Eve. We had a large group (7) and they put a table together fairly quickly. Service was prompt and friendly. We started with some cheese curds (duh) which were really good. I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries, which I enjoyed. Other people at our table had tacos, which looked very good. Most everyone was a clean-plater, and we were very happy. read more

Fox River Brewing - Was disappointed to find they use rectangle plates. :( - Breweries Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Stuck between a two and a three. Nothing awful but nothing great as well. Kind of an odd setup as areas of the restaurant seemed abandoned. I'd overlook that if their food didn't light my ass on fire... I had the fish. Overall, you are paying for the view. Luckily I didn't have to pay. read more

Was in Appleton for a high school football game and stopped here beforehand. I had realistic expectations for a mall restaurant but was still wildly disappointed. I ordered a burger. Pretty simple. The meat was such low quality and so gray and slimy that I stopped after one bite. We got the crunchy chicken tenders and there was tons of yellow slime on them from what I'm guessing is a fryer that hasn't been cleaned in years. Even the fries were gross. The server was not great and I can't blame her. It must suck having people constantly unhappy with their food. Adding insult to injury the bill was still $40! This was honestly one of the worst three places I've even eaten at in my life - and that's saying something. Avoid at all costs. I'm sure there are good burgers somewhere in Appleton. They ain't here. read more

I could have went to Applebee's and had a better meal. First I order a soda I get it and it's flat had zero carbonation I say something to the server and she goes "oh yea we been having issues with it today" like come on. It was a hot day so I wanted to sit inside which I guess was a mistake cause all the other servers were outside so collectively between all the waiting we did waiting for a server and waiting for our food we were there for 2.5 hours then when we get our food the fries were fresh but had zero season which was just a bummer then the burger patty itself was dry and tasteless lacking seasoning itself the only thing that came out right was the beer I ordered AFTER being deliberately served a flat soda. Prices weren't even reasonable. Won't return read more

First of all the sever was great. If I had to rate on service alone there would be more stars up. She knew the beers very well. I had a bloody Mary that wasn't that great. My friend and I wanted chicken bruschetta pizza but somehow there was miscommunication and we got the bruschetta chicken. We decided to make the best of it and eat it anyway. The chicken breast was burned on the side facing down. I have a feeling the chef was trying to hide it....lol! The bruschetta had little flavor and the layer of cheese was too thin I thought. It was served on a bed of pesto risotto, which was probably the best part of the dish. Just not good enough to warrant a three star review. I bet the chicken bruschetta pizza might have been better. Maybe I'll go back and try it but it'll be a while.... read more

This place is ok except one thing, they will not let adults order anything off of the kids menu. My wife tasted our sons mac and cheese and liked it so much she wanted to get it next time we came back. Well, were back now and when we ordered the manager told us that we could not order the mac and cheese because it's for kids 12 and under. This rule is ridiculous! They must not want to make any tips or money because they refuse to serve a mac and cheese dinner, how stupid! read more

Awesome service today from the gentleman who was bartender and serving tables like a boss - didn't catch his name but he was great! Definitely deserves praise! Everything was great as always - enjoyed the anniversary beer which was like a blueberry porter- yum! My friends fish and chips smelled amazing! read more

Low grade dog food Went there for lunch burger was grey and tasted like week old grease. My girlfriends grilled cheese was toasted on one side and had unmelted chunks of cheese in it and the soup and fries were cold. We booth agreed the pickle spear was the highlight of the meal read more

Been here a few times and it's a nice casual place to get lunch or a quick beer, especially if you like shopping with a buzz. The set up is nice and for the most part the bartenders and wait staff are friendly, though I've had a few encounters with waiters who seem uninterested in being there. Once we had a waiter who rarely visited the table and was slow to replenish drinks, we also waited over an hour for food in the same visit and when asked if he knew if it might be coming soon he simply gave us a smug look and told us it's busy so yeah it's going to take awhile... which would have been understandable if it were busy, but it wasn't. He offered no assurance to check on the food or apologize for the wait. But the food is good, and this doesn't happen every time. So it's a little bit of a gamble what service you will get, but you can expect the same quality from the menu each time. read more

Fox River Brewing - Caesar salad with 2 dams honey blonde ale. Salad, amazing! Beer, little bland. - Breweries Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Very nice and conveniently located. We wish their Belgian dubbel was a regular beer instead of a seasonal. Brazen Philly is excellent.

I came here for lunch and was happy to see the wide variety of beers and food choices. I ordered the "Crabby Patty" (a crab cake sandwich). I'm pretty picky about crab cakes, but Fox River Brewing Co.'s was pretty decent and I'd consider ordering it again if I returned. This also seemed like a pretty kid/family-friendly restaurant considering it being a brewery--the tables are actually covered in paper and each table is stocked with crayons so kids can color and write to their heart's content while waiting for food. Nice! read more

Not a brewing company. The atmosphere definitely recommends they are attached to the mall... Almost franchise/Denny's like. The restrooms are your typical mall expectation. The smell of the fryers from the kitchen emanates throughout. The grease that is streaked and visible on the stainless one kitchen area is evidence of it. The only saving grace is the customer service. The team was great! read more

Don't let the mall location scare you. If you're looking for good beer and great food, they've got it. The beer cheese burger is amazing. Since they brew their own beer, the cheese and toppings are very good. The pizzas are solid. The sandwiches are better than you'd think. Give it a try! read more

Really enjoyed the raspberry ale, but tried both the white chicken chili which was a gelatinous goo, and the tomato bisque which was curdled. Come for the beer, not the food. read more

I had Barbacoa braised beef taco which was delicious. It was served with sour cream and salsa along with a side of tortilla chips, unfortunately the chips were not homemade. The beef tasted as if it was smoked, and had a nice flavor. The service was very glad I was able to ask for a recommendation the server and he was spot on. read more

My boyfriend enjoyed his southwest flatbread, but my turkey sandwich was disgusting and inedible. It's quite possible the turkey had gone bad-it certainly looked/tasted/smelled like it. The beer was pretty good, but the mixed drinks were subpar and service was the worst I've received in a long time. read more

Great food, beer is okay (not a big fan of fruity flavoured beer). The price is a little steep for the quality but otherwise a great place for a date night. :D read more

Service was good. Food came out fast. Root beer bbq pork was delicious and not too sweet. No wait on a Friday night.

Incredible! Had the Brazen Philly and may be the best sandwich I've ever had. Not exaggerating. Paint a little chipotle ranch on the next bite, chase it with a fork of their homemade coleslaw. Cloud 9. The Barbacoa Braised Beef Tacos were also outstanding. Tastes really fresh and delicious. But the Brazen Philly took the meal, especially paired with the Crooked Dock Pale Ale. Service was also pleasant and relaxed. 5 out of 5; would absolutely return if passing through Appleton. read more

Really great service and food. The staff is always on top of your needs here and quick to react to requests. Love the sandwiches. The BLT club is huge and the chicken club is awesome too. The white chicken chili is also really good. Wish they had a lager on tap instead of just ales, but this is a petty complaint. Highly recommend this place. read more

This place used to be our "ace in the hole" over the years. Reasonable prices and good food. The salads were disappointing on our last visit. Greek salad was littered with black olives and white lettuce. The Southwest had different ingredients than previous visits. Hopefully it was a one time hiccup. read more

Yummy Octoberfest brew and the food was great. Portion size was large, we both had to ask for a box to go. I would stop in agian!

Best casual restaurant in Appleton, owned by Fratello's on the river. A lot of their menu items are the same. The servers are always awesome and the food is great. 2 Dams burger- delicious. Homemade chips- have to get them. Don't be fooled that they're in the mall, worth checking out. read more

Always an enjoyable experience. Great beer. Good food. Excellent bartenders too. Prices are average for this type of establishment.

Best service I've ever had. The burger we ordered came out a little raw, and when we requested a new one the head chef came out personally and oversaw that we ended up being satisfied with our new burger. Truly exceptional read more

Stopped into this brew pub which is attached to the local mall for a snack and a beer. Nice big space with a good beer menu and plenty of pub food options. Staff was very friendly and fast, open kitchen is always a nice touch. Good cheese curds and nice fresh beers on tap. The staples on the beer menu cover all the standard styles and it looks like they have about 5 or 6 seasonal brews which added some variety. read more

I have been here twice before and have loved every second of it, however this last experience wasn't the best. This restaurant typically has a welcoming vibe with servers you can learn a lot from and have fun with but we did not get that this time. Our food and beer was spectacular as always but our server, chelsey, was not someone I was impressed with. She kept disappearing to what I would assume would be on her phone and you could tell by her face she did not want to be there. I personally like coming to a restaurant with a friendly vibe with friendly people but she was not someone I would come back for. read more

Good Beer Selection and very nice staff the multiple times I have been there. When I am in town I am sure to grab a pint when I am there.

Service was terrible. The waitress was slow and very inattentive. Waited for our food for over an hour and a half while people were served that came in over 30 minutes after our party. Very disappointed read more

I'm in Appleton for business, this restaurant was in easy walking distance from my hotel. And OMG!!! BBQ Pulled pork and Root Beer. Two of my favorite things combined into one amazing sandwich. Root beer added to the BBQ sauce. Brilliant. Also had one of their locally brewed pale ales. Also really good. read more
