We tried the artichoke dip with crab, which was really good, along with the cheese curds. Our meals were generous portions, and I ordered the salmon cakes--they were flavorful and something I would definitely order again. We finished with the bourbon bread pudding. The dessert portion was on the smaller side and it was definitely sweet, but still very tasty! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a casual distillery feel that made it a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy lunch. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch--the food was good, portions were generous, and the service made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

We got there around 6:30 PM on Thursday evening and the wait was about 20 minutes for families, but we sat at the bar at a high top and got right in. We found service to be friendly and prompt. The gentleman who was taking care of us was attentive without being pushy. We started with the fried pickles which came out with ranch and aïoli for dipping. It was a huge portion. Tasty indeed. While I know pickles are inherently salty, I did find these to be exceptionally salty, leaving me to wonder if the batter was also salted, which definitely would not be necessary. Just know that if you are planning on ordering them. We also both got the Smoked Steak Salad. The salad was fresh and nicely dressed. Both of them came with a very generous serving of meat. The meat was just OK. They do not ask you how you would like your steak cooked, so once I got it, that made sense. I'm guessing they don't just smoke it for a little bit and finish the cooking it another way because it is well done with some rough bits - perhaps leftovers from something else. Honestly, I would prefer to have a nice juicy steak on top of a salad, and while I enjoyed this enough, I probably would not get it again for this reason. We both got a beer flight too, and found all four choices to be really good! I will definitely come back here when I'm tired of options at Great Wolf. I'd be interested in trying their sandwiches, as I saw a couple people with French Dips that looked really good.

You can either bring your own growler or purchase one on-site. They also have glasses or mugs available for purchase. The brewery is located right off the side of the service road and appears to be in a warehouse-like configuration. There's a food truck on the front that I've heard has some amazing food, although I haven't tried it yet. They do have vegetarian options, so I'll check that out later. The bar dining area is spacious and welcoming for all customers. The bar top has a couple of televisions where you can watch sports if that's your thing. Before you order a beer, I recommend trying a couple of samples, which is what I usually do. The growler I used was about $12-$15, which is a great deal considering that a beer on tap costs about eight dollars for 20 ounces. You can get five of those for the price of $15, so it's a very affordable option. Overall, I really enjoy this place and make it a point to go down there every other month because it's one of my favorite breweries.

Good Buzz also does not have a tasting room of it's own. However if you go to the website for Good Buzz Brewing you will find what locations you can purchase their mead from around the Centralia and Chehalis areas. I bought my bottle at the produce section and corner at Jeremy's Farm to Table. I saw about three or four different types of mead but didn't want anything too sweet. I saw berry flavored options but had concerns that might make it sweeter than I'd prefer so I got the Bee Hoppy mead. Mead is often sweet enough as it is due to the honey so that is the reason I went with a hopped option as well. The mead was great! I usually love trying different meaderies as they aren't as numerous as breweries or even cideries so when I get to try one it's a great change of pace. The hops and the mead played very well off of each other with the Bee Hoppy and was refreshing as well. Great first experience with Good Buzz and perhaps since they handled the flavor balance so well it may motivate me to try some of those berry options at another time.

EDIT: I removed one star because while the food was very good, and the kitchen staff worked heroically on a busy night, the service was scattered. How this could be with relatively few tables and a prix fix menu with only two choices for an entree is perplexing. Restaurants live or die by two things. 1. Quality of the food and 2. Quality of the service. We will go back sometime based on No. 1, and hope for better No. 2.

The hook tender Pizza was a hit- tasty and generously loaded with toppings. they have indoor outdoor seating as well as sell branded merchandise. My only complaint is it took us about an hour to get our pizza so I think they may have forgot to put my order in until they saw me come into get another beer? ;) it was either that or possibly they were cooking out of order, as I seen people have their food before us? I don't mind if delayed, but I do wish it was communicated. Obviously, I'm still giving a five star because everyone was very friendly, food and drinks were delicious. (Just communication of waiting times is key.)
