Strange plating combination...
Darcie H.

I stopped in to New Basin Distillery to check it out (it was good), and asked for a recommendation for dinner... They suggested this place. And gave me a coupon for a free cocktail, cool. The space is fine, it lacks character - I dunno, it needs 'something' but I don't know what... so we'll just settle with - it's fine. The first girl that greeted me was ok - she kind of seemed annoyed. A different gal brought over my drink, and she seemed equally annoyed - she wasn't very friendly. I mean, she didn't do anything 'wrong' she just seemed very unhappy and bothered that I was there. I did not like the drink. And a guy that I'm guessing is the owner? Chef? Both? Asked how I liked it, I said it was ok, I guess... he offered to make me something else, but I didn't want to be a bother - so i said no thanks. I also didn't want to be that guy - I mean, it was a free drink... so I left it 98% full. The food. I wanted to try a few things, so I got the pork street tacos, wings, and sweet potato fries. First, the plating was weird - a plastic basket for the fries, a square white plate for the wings, and a thick wooden serving (charcuterie type) board for the tacos? It didn't go together, it was just strange. The tacos were super greasy. They were good, but there was grease everywhere. The wings were the smallest wings I have ever experienced in my life. They were ok, nothing stood out about them (except how exceptionally small they were)... The sweet potato fries weren't good. They didn't seem to be fried all the way? They were hard in the middle and soggy on the outside - like they weren't cooked/fried all the way? The owner, chef guy asked again if he could make me another drink - I declined. He brought me a shot of a tequila mixture, it was ok (I'm not a big tequila fan)... he was very nice. It seems like the menu is a little all over the place. I wanted to be super stoked about this place - but I wasn't...

Worlds fattest and toughest steak.

A new low in dining! Absolutely awful top to bottom. Serving super salty over seasoned tough meat with dry salty potatoes is no way to run a business. Wine glass was filthy and service was poor and this was at 5pm so no excuses. Ambiance was devoid of any style or grace whatsoever and the 90's rap music didn't help either. I could go on but you have been warned.

Low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the food and beer here. Chips & salsa was solid. Tried a few of their beers and pretty good. Tacos & a Philly cheesesteak both tasty. Prices were fair as well. I'd definitely stop here when in Madras.

Madras Brewing Restaurant Menu, March 2022.

This seems like a cool little place right in downtown Madras. I drove by it, then pulled over on a whim (okay, thirst had something to do with it). I did not sample the food this time, limiting myself to two of the pub's own brews, so cannot give a complete review. I can add that they offer a selection of cocktails, including the Madras Plateada (margarita) and an HB Huckleberry Lemonade (with vodka, logically), both types of drinks enjoyed by a table of local ladies behind me. Because I had a few more miles to drive, I sampled the Indian Head Pale Ale and the Suds-n-Dust IPA, both of which had a nice, hoppy flavor without being over the top bitter. Food options, which again I did not try, were surprisingly extensive -- street tacos, to a Cuban Sandwich, to a New York Steak, to Jambalaya, to Crab Cakes, to Beer-braised Ribs, and much more. To be honest, I kind of wished I was staying in Madras, so I could eat and then retire to my hotel room. Oh well, next time!

Stopped in for food/drinks after a long day on the lake. Service was atrocious. So much attitude and indifference towards us. Worst Margherita pizza I have ever had. It was a frozen pizza with a absurd amount of cheese added. We were served two flat sodas and when we let the server know, she brought us another one. I would never waste my $ here again.

I highly recommend the pilz. Light and refreshing. We split a pizza and had some beers. Love the outdoor option and really loved the beer

I highly recommend the pilz. It is light and great balance of flavors. We also split a pizza. The mushrooms were so fresh. Excellent stop

Chicken Strips
Kortney S.

I don't usually leave reviews so use this as a warning. I wanted to love this place because it's a local business in my hometown. I'm all for supporting local businesses but don't waste your money. I ordered chicken strips... chicken strips... how can you mess those up? They were so chewy that I couldn't tear it apart or bite it off. My boyfriend ordered a Philly steak sandwich and most of it was gristle. The fries look like the ones you can buy at the store in the frozen section. There was a another couple who arrived at the same time and ending up leaving, which we should've taken as our warning. We won't be returning but we will continue to support other local businesses..

They don't understand what this means.

It's been awhile since I visited here and it has really improved. The outdoor space is so much…read morenicer and the turf eliminates the dust that at times would be circling through the air from the kids running around playing. The Italian sandwich, order inside, it delicious! The smash burger outside in the food truck is great! Their mimosas are the best in town!

After eight years, Crux is overdue for a review update. Biggest reason is that quite a few years…read moreago they expanded the place significantly, opening up the large room to the right of the bar that opens into the outdoor area. That room is equipped with restrooms, relieving one of my major complaints about a lack of facilities, as well as a second serving station complete with taps. Since then, Crux has significantly changed the outdoor area as well although I'm not certain it's an upgrade. It's a little too landscaped and way too much like a playground now. Locals have always tended to refer to Crux as 'daycare but with beer.' The last several times I've come here, the second serving station has not been in operation even though it looks to be still fully functional. Meanwhile the line to the bar serving stations is often long, sometimes almost out the door. Not sure why that is, doesn't make sense to have the capacity to more efficiently serve customers but not use it. All that said, the beer is still stellar and they continue to have a wide range of beer choices, the new(ish) large room has plentiful high-top seating (mobility challenged folks will need to venture outside), and the music is kept below ear-splitting volume. You can also sit at the bar itself although the vibe there isn't great - it's not like a neighborhood pub bar. Crux still has a kitchen. I used to order directly from them but have since transitioned to patronizing one of the several food carts outside. Being food carts, they tend to come and go so I'll not go into detail there. That said, the new Alpine Smash burger is fabulous. The other significant change in recent years has been with the location. A dispute with the property owners to the west resulted in the access road that way being closed, requiring Crux patrons to use the road coming from Second/Scott Street (or ride a bike). The west road is now open, maybe because the Jackstraw housing complex over that way is now completed and the road serves their tenants. RIP Spoken Moto.

It was nice that when we were ordering our drinks they were going straight into the system table side so we got them really quick. I ordered the TCB Spiked Marionberry Lemonade drink which was tasty and not too sweet. The menu had a lot of great options and their kids menu was hit with all of our kids.

We arrived a little after noon when the pub opened on a Sunday. Our server Austin was friendly and helped my wife out with some menu questions. My wife had subbed a garden burger for the American Smash burger with fries. She liked her choice. I had the Mushroom Swiss burger with fries and a pint of Five Pine Chocolate Porter. A Brown Porter that features 2 pounds per barrel of the finest Belgian dark chocolate, creating a slightly roasty brew with chocolaty satin finish. The beer was fine . My burger was over cooked for me. I wasn't given the option of how I wanted it cooked. I should have mentioned that when ordering . Most restaurant servers would ask you that question when ordering a burger. I would try something different if and when we make another appearance.
