    I ordered the King Krootz Rueben with Macaroni and Cheese Gochujang. The sandwich had thick rye bread toasted perfectly with savory corned beef, sauerkraut and cheese. The macaroni and cheese had the extra beer cheese and breadcrumbs which kicked it up a notch! The food was so good that there was none leftover. I like the seating area in the back room with all of the TVs, we were able to enjoy our food and beers while watching some baseball. The Krootz craft beers are amazing too, I enjoyed the "got a gig" with my meal.

    We loved everything about Krootz. The atmosphere is perfectly divey and fun. They have a stage for events, games on TV, and trivia. We tried the chips and salsa, as we were starving, and both the green and red salsa were delicious. They are served warm. The Krootz burger and the bacon Jam burger Both hit the spot, but the fries and onion wings are the BEST. We stuffed our faces and regretted we couldn't eat more.

    You must understand, everytime I drink this delightful liquid, I feel as if I am Thor himself. The ambience of this area makes you feel as if you are in Valhalla, and the service from Asgard is incredible.

    This is definitely a dive bar type vibe but I am here for it. It is very obviously loved by all the locals and it is not hard to see why. They have a huge menu and there is something for everyone. Probably one of the most well seasoned burgers I've ever had. The hand cut fries are crispy and well seasoned but they definitely could have been warmer, they were cold. But otherwise we loved it!

    What a great find! We just came in for some beer but ended up eating food, and even bringing things home with us! Here's what we tried: Apple Pie, Pickle and Peach Softshine. We liked the Pickle and Apple Pie so much we purchased some to take home. Mojito Lite beer - very refreshing, carbonated and tasty! Lemon-Lime Krootz o Rita - very good! Like juice! Pub Burger Slider, and Smoked Brisket Slider - order the brisket one, pass on the pub burger!! And then we took apricot kolaches, and apricot cream cheese kolaches home for mom. The servers are super attentive and very sweet! The place feels hip and I bet it can get busy on nice summer days!

    On our way from McKinney to OKC we had to stop here because of the reviews. One word. OMG!!!! Karsten was flying around taking care of all of the lunch crowd like a beast! No joke - best blue cheese burger I've ever eaten! Hubby's chili cheese burger was amazing too. Chili had a sweet and spicy flavor. Pub chips. Kolaches - who does that around here? Fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

    One of the best brewery experiences I've had--hands down. I stopped into this Gainesville gem with the casual intention of grabbing a quick beer before hitting the road. What happened next turned into one of the most unexpectedly enjoyable afternoons I've had in a long time--and Brittany was a huge reason why. From the moment I walked in, Brittany made the entire experience feel personal, warm, and genuinely welcoming. She greeted me with a big smile and immediately had a great read on what kind of beer I might enjoy. Her recommendations were on point--not just a list of what's on tap, but thoughtful, well-informed suggestions based on my preferences. I wasn't planning on staying long, but her enthusiasm and professionalism convinced me to stick around. That one beer turned into a relaxed, two-hour visit filled with great conversation, perfectly timed service, and some truly outstanding food. Speaking of the food--it blew me away. Way beyond typical "brewpub" fare. Everything from presentation to flavor was spot-on. And again, Brittany didn't just drop off menus--she walked me through a few options with the kind of confidence that tells you, "This isn't her first rodeo." I went with her suggestion, and it was phenomenal. The atmosphere in the brewery was casual and friendly, with a local charm that made me feel like I was part of the community, even just for a couple of hours. Clean facilities, great taproom design, a nice mix of locals and travelers--and all of it amplified by the level of service Brittany brought to the table. She wasn't just checking boxes; she elevated the experience. Friendly, intuitive, and incredibly professional. It's rare to meet someone who seems genuinely passionate about what they do, but Brittany clearly loves connecting with people and representing this place well. Bottom line: I came in for a quick drink and ended up having one of the most enjoyable afternoons of my trip. If you're anywhere near Gainesville, Texas, do yourself a favor and stop by this brewery--and if you're lucky, Brittany will be your server.

    Decided to do a road trip lunch from Dallas. Excellent choice on our part. It was a beautiful day, great beer and food at Krootz. Wide variety of food. I had the special jambalaya. Curiously it looked a little like bread pudding, but it definitely tasted real Cajun jambalaya. Tasted Something like you'd find in Baton Rouge not expected in Gainesville. selection of crafted beers was fun to taste through. And while it's a carb load, the desserts are do not miss. Big place, go with the dining room rooms up front to chat with the locals, either way the people of Krootz are friendly, attentive, and accommodating. This will be my regular stop to and from Oklahoma.

    Exceptional experience! The staff were all incredibly welcoming and friendly, the pizza was next to amazing, lots of ACTUALLY good craft beers, and the restaurant itself was very clean and inviting. Awesome way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thanks guys! We will definitely be back!

    Very friendly atmosphere. Lots of options for seating (bar, small tables, larger table for big groups, outside seating) Stopped by on our drive through Texas. Great food and beverage selections. Especially enjoy their "Rita" and "shine" offerings. Music is a little loud, so hard to hear the staff in the bar area. Had the Brewmaster Burger and fries and pretzel with beer cheese. Really enjoyable

    Pub burger with fries
    Greg H.

    Stopped in here on yelp's guidance as we headed to the casino in OK. Only 10-15 minutes from the Winstar. My wife loved their beer tastings. She is more of a "sweet" taste kind of girl and they had so many choices and variety. The service was fabulous. I was asked my many and all employees to keep my water filled. The waitress was relatively new and offered a nice candid response to our questions. I had the pub burger and my wife went with the frito pie. I really enjoyed the savory taste of the bacon jam and overall seasoning on the patty. The fries were amazing. We had an order of fried pickles too that was cooked to perfection. Their ranch was on another level of greatness for dipping pickles and fries. Wife said the frito pie was good but not a fan of the potato chips spread alongside the Fritos. She says she would have preferred straight Fritos. For the service and unique flavors this place exceeded my expectations. My only regret was not having room for dessert. Their dessert menu looked fun.

    This is the burger I ordered.

    Easily one of the top 5 burgers I have ever had!! Their meat is highly season and super tender! The fry's remind me of wing stop which is a huge compliment. It is a must visit if you are in the greater Gainesville area!

    Went last year. Food subpar. Don't care for the atmosphere. Don't like their back room. Cauliflower pizza was not a good experience.

    Was visiting a friend in Denison a couple weekends ago, and for a small town, I was honestly…read moresurprised to find this hidden gem. The bar is super cozy at night, and the holiday lights really add to the overall ambiance, cool vibes all around. I didn't stay to dine-in and ordered out instead, but I could easily see myself sitting here playing cards with friends. The pizza was VERY good, and the summertime berry salad was even better (now goes by Strawberry Pecan Salad). Two days later, my friends and I were hungry and couldn't stop thinking about this pizza and salad. So we ordered out again mid day. This time we got a full salad, added chicken, and asked for extra toppings and dressing. Definitely ask for extra, especially if you're sharing, because the normal amount isn't quite enough. I'm a culinary dietitian and meant to ask for their ranch recipe, but totally forgot. Ughhh!! So delicious though! There was a small mix-up with the second order and we had to drive back, but the customer service was great and it was no issue at all to fix. Highly recommend!!!

Atmosphere is nice and open with plenty of bar seats as well as communal high tops and standalone tables. Nice outdoor patio when Texas weather permits! Tried a couple of their beers: Miso Smooth (Japanese rice lager - 5.5% ABV) and Soul Fire Ultra Light (American Light Lager - 3.7 ABV / 15 IBU). Both decent enough for what they were, the latter being helped by the fact it was only $3 a pint. For food, tried the newly opened Zaep Zaep Thai joint. Had the Thai Basil Combo Fried Rice and an order of Spring Rolls. Seriously good stuff! Unexpected quality for a food court! The chef (owner?) also came into the bar to check to see if our food was to our liking. Definitely a nice touch and I wish him much success. Olivia's Scratch Kitchen serving African cuisine was the only other option open. Was a tough decision and hopefully will be back soon to try their offerings! There was also a cupcake place (Kid Kakes) that seems to get great reviews, but with Oak St Pie Company just a few doors down... well... sorry Kid Kakes! At only 20 years old, the bartender did a great job serving us and was more genuinely personable than many who have done the similar job for years. All-in-all a great impulse decision after The Original Roy Hutchins BBQ line ended up being far too long to wait in!
