Paradigm is an outstanding brewery that also happens to have a legitimately great kitchen--a rare and welcome combination. They typically feature a dozen or so beers on tap, and most of them are excellent, offering something for every type of beer lover. I don't remember the exact date of our visit, but I do remember this: the place was packed. Parking was a bit chaotic, but once inside, the experience made it all worth it. The staff did an amazing job taking care of our large party of eight, keeping the beers flowing and the vibes high. Every meal hit the table quickly, and everything we ordered was delicious. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Paradigm is absolutely worth your time--go thirsty and hungry. read more

This used to be a great 5 star place with good beer and food in a nice facility. We went often and recommended it to friends. Over the last year the beer has become just above adequate but the food had gone way down. A few average burgers and salads and wings. The kitchen occasionally comes up with a very good offering but removed from the menu after a short time. We may check in every month or so to see if it has improved before we give up. read more

We have came a couple of times and it is always a decent experience. Lots of space outside for kids to run and play. The food is tasty, but I wish the flavors matched the description more. Cheese curds were a yummy twist to typical ones, the sandwich was good and the chicken was tender but I thought the cilantro/lime flavor didn't come through much. We enjoy a good IPA and we really only like 1 on their menu. We continue to come back and see other items they add, but it is a drive for us so not often. read more

If you're looking for a must-visit brewery with an awesome, welcoming vibe and seriously refreshing beer, this is the spot. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is friendly, laid-back, and perfect for relaxing with friends. The Hefeweizen is easily one of the best beers I've had in a long while -- crisp, smooth, and incredibly refreshing. It has that perfect balance of flavor that makes you want to order another round. You can tell they take pride in their brewing. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a great place to unwind and enjoy a few cold ones, this brewery absolutely delivers. Highly recommend stopping by -- you won't be disappointed! read more

Good beer selection, especially if IPAs are your thing. Food isn't bad, flatbreads are good and the wings are cooked well but I wasn't a huge fan of the sauces. Large family friendly outdoor area. Service can be hit or miss depending on time of day. Bar will usually have 1-3 bartenders absolutely slammed with people ordering at the bar and then there will be 5 servers just standing around. read more

Great brews. Wonderful happy hours. Had wonderful parmesan wings and a pretzel to go with our adult beverages. Inside and outside seating, place for the kids to play and many events with live music. read more

This place is huge. They have a mini soccer field, a playground, ample outdoor seating, good amount of indoor seating, a large on-site brewery (that offers tours) and a full service kitchen. Although yours truly was here to enjoy a liquid repast, the pizza and burgers did look pretty appealing - next time. Of the aforementioned beers, I enjoyed the Oktoberfest quite a bit; malty, roasted and light enough to knock back a few. High marks for the Revelation, a cuvée, that packed an 11% ABV punch that you never would've guessed. Good service, super clean and a good spot for a family outing or a boys night alike. Cheers. read more

Had a great time today at Paradigm and particularly enjoyed a new menu item--the pistachio crusted ahi tuna with roasted acorn squash, black lentils, wilted kale, pomegranate, and whipped goat cheese. The housemade root beer was good too. As far as beer goes, don't miss the Coco Loco! Nice to have all that space for the kids to play while the grownups chat! read more

Look. I love this place. So I'm willing to give it another chance but my most recent visit was a bit disappointing. First off, I settled on my beer. I prefer a more malty beer instead of the ever popular IPA. I o ow it's an unpopular opinion but there used to be some solid choices here. Not so much this trip. We had a GIANT pretzel that was buttery and salty and divine. HOWEVER.......one of the best things in the menu is the best no more. The pork belly bites. LITERALLY the reason we came here this weekend and apparently there was new management who changed the recipe? They tasted like they were covered in a burnt, bitter sauce. Asked for some honey for them, and that helped very little. What a let down. These need to be changed back to the old recipe PRONTO. Overall experience was lesser than previous trips. Not sure if they are struggling or what but overall the entire experience was "meh" at best. Bring back the old Pork Belly Bites!!!!!! read more

Great location, fun spot with an outdoor area surrounded by pine trees for bands, kids, cornhole, etc . All the beer selections were great, the blonde was refreshing, the food was pretty good as well. We Ordered the German smoked sausage, candied bacon and blue burger, and the basil pesto & cured meats flatbread. All the food was good, the flatbread was slightly underdone and a little oily, but it was still pretty good, will def go back read more

Beer as always has been good but the kitchen has definitely gone downhill. Quality has dropped drastically since I first started coming and today I decided to order the pretzel which is very large but only came with a small cup of cheese sauce and mustard. I asked for a little more cheese sauce and was told it would be a $1 extra on a pretzel that already cost $14 . The pork belly bites are also not what they used to be.. I'll be back in the future for beer, but not the food.... read more

Don't Tell Comedy brought us out here and I'm so glad it did! The comedy show was hilarious and the brewery was awesome! Unfortunately, we got there 30 minutes before the show so we rushed to get some food and drinks since food was not allowed in the area where the show was which didn't spoil anything but I forgot to take pics so I'll definitely have to be back. There were a few of us so we enjoyed the queso, Brussels sprouts, cheese pizza, pork belly and ribs. Everything was tasty and washed it down with a few of the house beers, frose and I had the seaglass rose which was perfect. Service was quick and attentive. Ambiance was definitely brewery vibes but a great kick back spot where I'm excited to bring some family or a big group. read more

I love visiting new spots when I am in Houston and this one is one that we will definitely return to. We came here with some family friends for dinner and for the kids to run around because they have a playground and large outdoor area for the kids to enjoy while the adults hang out. The menu here has a decent amount of variety I went with the smaller size pepperoni pizza which was the perfect size to share for 2 people if you are not too hungry. They had a variety of their house beers as well as a couple wine options and frosé for drinks. We also started with the giant pretzel that comes with cheese and mustard, safe to say our group demolished that one quickly! Can't wait to be back in Texas again to come back and try more things. read more

My husband and I visit many breweries throughout the country. The beers here were very IPA-like. Not our favorite, but we still tried them all. Unfortunately, we didn't like any of them, but if you love a good IPA beer, this is the place for you. The service was great, and the place is super kid-friendly. The whole place looked nice, with a huge patio and backyard that includes a playground and soccer goals. We didn't get to try the food. I think they close their kitchen around 6-6:30 p.m. on Sundays. read more

Good food, good beer, good find on a drive home from the airport! Sort of an off-the-beaten-path location, but really a great vibe inside and lots of green space beneath the trees, away from the street. Very family friendly. Very nice place to hang or meet up. Local always wins in my book, and the beer selection was well rounded. The only negative, as someone with a 2 hour drive ahead of me, was the unavailablility of a "flight" of cans to take home. We were limited to buying six packs of one brew only. Our choice? Hmm...Let's just say, it won't be our last visit....we'll be "bock!" read more

This has the potential for a five star with the exception of the service. The food and beer are fantastic! The Coco Loco was something special. The wait staff needs some training on how to attend to guests. read more

This brewery is spectacular!!! Been here multiple times, enjoyed it every time. They have great beers, great food, and the staff is very friendly. You can enjoy your favorite beverage inside or outside, it is family friendly, and there's lots of room for the kiddos to play around. Also, I see that HEB carries their beers now, also a winner!! read more

Stopped back into Paradigm Brewery as the first time we went there, we really enjoyed our experience. But this was quite a while ago. Not so this time. First of all, the receptionist was extremely unpleasant when we walked in. We rarely bring our dog out to places, but we have NEVER run into a brewery that was not dog friendly. Especially with our very well behaved little Frenchie. We were seated outside instead of inside where we preferred, but remember, the receptionist was very unpleasant with us. Ok, nice day, will sit outside where the waitresses fawned over our Frenchie. Never had to be seated at a brewery so this was a first. The waitresses were nice but kept pushing us to buy food. No, we came for a couple of relaxing beers but it was very hard to relax and enjoy a beer with a bunch of unsupervised children running around the brewery. Paradigm seems to have changed from a really good brewery to more of a restaurant and the beer was secondary. Not what we were returning for. There were no menus, only QR codes which did not load correctly on our phones. Not how I want to order my food or beer. Overall, a very disappointing experience at Paradigm Brewery (if you can still call it a brewery) and this is one place my wife and I (and Frenchie) definitely will not be returning to and will seek out friendlier breweries that actually want people to come in and drink their beer. read more

Came in here for a few beers with some friends and had a great experience! We unfortunately didn't order food but everything at the tables near us looked delicious! I ordered a few of their different types of beers and they were all delicious. I appreciate you are able to get a flight as well if you wanted to try multiple. Every beer we had was great - perfect on a hot afternoon. Service was quick and attentive. It seems like they have outdoor seating for when the weather is cooler, but our group appreciated the AC indoors. read more

Great spot to go with the family, good selection of beers and they also have a full food menu. read more

Second time for me to try this place; wife and son I think have been 3 or 4 times now. It's right outside of our neighborhood, which is probably why we've given it as many chances as we have. I'll start with what's good. The appetizers are pretty decent. On this trip we had the pretzel and the sweet chili Brussels. The pretzel itself is good, the beer cheese is runny and not that great, and the mustard seems like a run-of-the-mill deli style mustard, nothing special. The Brussels are roasted and have sweet, semi-spicy sauce that they're drowned in which takes away from the roasted texture but tastes good overall. Hard to really mess up either of those two appetizers. You can go further into Tomball at another Brew Pub that rhymes with Pyre-Pant where both of those items are found and executed better. Now for what's bad. Service is always spotty; tonight if we didn't actively seek out our server, she wasn't checking on us or refilling drinks without us waving her down. We were there around 7pm and the place was honestly clearing out, so maybe she was more pre-occupied with her closing duties than checking on her tables. She was friendly when she came around but that's about it. I had the pork belly BLT for my main, my son got the same, and my wife got the standard burger. For $15.50 you get the sandwich and your choice of fries or tots. We all opted for the tots which were good. Hard to mess up frozen tots. The BLT comes on sourdough bread with an aioli, bacon and pork belly. There were 2 tiny pieces of pork belly on my sandwich and a single piece of sad looking bacon; it was more bread than anything else. This sandwich couldn't cost them any more than $3 to make and they're charging $15.50. There's a growing trend around here where restaurants charge exorbitant prices for gastropub style food but then don't even give you your money's worth when it comes to the overpriced ingredients. The sandwich tasted fine but for $15.50 I expect more than a couple ounces of meat on it and a single piece of bacon. Truly pathetic. My wife got her burger and it looked pretty good when it came out, despite her ordering it medium (when she was asked) and it coming out well done and dry as a hockey puck. For reference, my first and only other time going here I ordered some burger that was $17 and had the same experience; cooked to hell and back, dry as hay. So that is no longer an "off day" for the kitchen in my opinion. They ask you how you want your burger cooked for whatever reason, but I guarantee you it's coming out well-done and then some. I imagine this place does well because the beer is decent and they have a large playground and ample amount of space where you can ditch your kid while you get day-drunk. That must be how it survives and even thrives, because drunk people will eat anything and enjoy themselves as long as they aren't being hassled by their kids. Food sucks (mostly) service is 'meh', beer must be good because otherwise people wouldn't keep going back for the food. Go a few minutes further into town to the German brewpub, it's much better food and you actually get your money's worth. read more

Paradigm Brewing - My $15.50 pork belly BLT. Sad AF. Y'all should be ashamed for charging what you charge for this, putting this on a plate and serving it. - Breweries Near Me - Tomball, Texas

Why 3 stars? Because the company was better than the food. --- --- --- I came here to meet up with some family after a tough week. While I didn't necessarily have Paradigm on my radar, I was excited to visit because the weather was perfect outside and I was happy to see the fam. It was a pretty crazy day here with not only the amazing weather, but they were also hosting some kind of Oktoberfest. My aunt arrived way before us, which worked out well because she got our name on the list for a table, which was an hour wait. I doubt this happens on a more typical day. We ordered a couple of pretzels, which ended up being the highlight of the meal. They were the biggest pretzels I've ever seen and I loved every bite. 5-stars. As for everything else? I was a bit disappointed. I ordered a flight of beers and didn't like any of them: Hefeweizen, Coconut Blonde, Cafe Rogue, Oktoberfest. The first two were probably 3-stars, while the latter were more like 2-stars. For my entree, I went with The Texan. It was... fine. Not horrible, not great. 3-stars. I was glad to have met up with the family but I wouldn't need to some back to Paradigm. read more

Ok, we were just there having dinner this evening. First of all, the food is delicious. The service was even great, friendly and personable. However, I was a server for around 10 years before I dove into my other career. Two things I noticed. The waitress was wearing extremely long, painted, pointy nails. I mean Looooooong. Which shouldn't be allowed. The second thing is when she served us all of our drinks, she grabbed the entire top of the glasses, surrounding the lip of each glass with ALL her fingers. That is so unhygienic. I was taught as a server to NEVER handle customers glasses that way. They should be grabbed by the bottom of the glass. It's just not sanitary, especially with long fake nails. Please, management, train your staff better. It's just gross. read more

I am a pretzel addict and this was the best pretzel I have ever had. Even better than the pretzel I had at Oktoberfest in Munich Germany!

We have never had a bad meal here. Until tonight. We always start with the pretzel and the sausage. We had to wait 40 minutes for them to arrive, and at that point--the sausage was charred beyond recognition. We also ordered the "Italian Job" sandwich. Omg. It was atrocious. The bread was 85% of the sandwich and the bread was thick and bad. The meat and dressing--they were ok, but for nearly $16????? The bar staff tended to people they knew rather than customers. There was a full plate of the pork belly bites when we arrived, and the bartender said, "oh. I didn't even know they left." The bartender was inattentive and I think she forgot to put our order in. Bad service and food. So disappointed. read more

First time to Paradigm for Father's Day. Great food and beers with the family. I tried the Hefeweizen and the Italian styled Birra. Both were very good. Parking was easy and the location is conveniently off the Grand Parkway. Pro tip: get the pretzel. It's huge and filling! We will be back soon for more fun! read more

Much time has passed since I've written an update for Paradigm. And many visits have occurred in the meantime! Paradigm has become our go-to place for a Saturday or Sunday lunch. Opening at 11 AM, we tend to meet family here quite often for multiple reasons: **Kid friendly! Superior grounds and activities for the kiddos. There's always something going on, and my grandchildren beeline outside as soon as we get here. They meet up with friends (either new ones or ones they've already met) and play, play, play. Then they'll come in, have a quick lunch (also kid-friendly menu items and great root beer!), then out for more play! **Great menu. Paradigm has perfected what they offer, and nothing disappoints. Their pulled pork fries, although listed as an "appetizer" are worthy of having as a meal by itself. They are my personal choice, seemingly every time we're here. **Quality beers. Ask for a taste and it's brought to you. Take your pick, or pick a flight. All different brews, ranging from the low-ABV variety to the pretty potent ones. Their Coco Loco remains a fave. **Great service. Quick delivery of food and drinks. Pleasant servers. **Seating inside or out is generally designed for large groups, so don't hesitate to come here with your whole crew. There are some smaller tables for up to 4, but those are not abundant. Reservations are not accepted. This is a cashless location, so be prepared to pull out your credit or debit card when you're done. Receipts can be emailed if you choose. A fun place with great beer, food and fun for the little ones. So glad that I gave Paradigm another try after our first below-expectation encounter. Worth it, because we've been here many, many times since then. read more

The beer is 5 stars. Your service is terrible. You have a patio built for 10 people when it's full you refuse to take 20 extra steps to take the food out to the benches because the patio is full. I would recommend you visit any of Tilmans restaurants/hotels or casinos if you want a lesson in hospitality. Better yet management listen up, do yourself and your customers a favor a read the book Shut up and listen. Also would it hurt to add tvs outside? read more

Stopped by this spot twice so far. The winning aspect of this brewery is the building and land itself. Huge huge huge wooded yard with playgrounds and basic nature for kids and dogs to pick up sticks and play in the dirt. I was pleasantly surprised by the small business market. Good variety for the suburbs and a small market. I love their support of the local School of Rock. The kids were jamming out in the outdoor stage. It was far enough not to disturb conversation at the outdoor patio and you could move closer if you wanted the music. Bring camping chairs for the stage- only 3 picnic benches close by. The indoor space matches the outdoor in its impressive scale- soaring ceilings and huge glass windows really tie it to the land. Service- still working out the kinks. Online menu wasn't current. They were out of some items my party wanted- the 9" pizzas. Also they are unable to move your bar tab to a table tab. The Crown Pretzle is where it's at! HUGE and great compliment to the beer. Brussel sprouts were yum! My party enjoyed the pork belly bites. I had a Heartland Hefeweizen that I will get again. read more

This place use to be a great place with great service to bring your family. We even had our 2nd child's baby shower here due to the amazing atmosphere .While the beer is good and the space is ideal for kids, the customer service and help has been digressing the more and more we come. Came to sit with the family outside but no one was there to be seated but you can't just sit wherever you want on the outside patio so we waited and waited. After giving up, we went outside to see if we can just get a table on the patio but families were taking up/saving tables with bags. Despite multiple workers there, no one seemed to track this. Multiple instances of understaffing and impossible to get a beer or food timely. The owners are great people but I have no idea if they know the situations that customers deal with now. read more

Paradigm Brewing - Pretzel - Breweries Near Me - Tomball, Texas

Great location and has a playground for the kids. This is probably why we have given it so many chances. They advertised an Easter festival with vendors and an egg hunt. So the community showed up. They lined the kids up, to make them wait will they dumped out a small box of eggs. Each kid averaged 2 eggs. But they had fun. Lots of families so the seating on the patio and dining room had a 3 hour wait. So we opted for a table in the general area. We had a couple beers and visited the vendors, then it was time for lunch so went inside to order. After waiting for the bartender to finish arguing with the older man in front of us, We were told they only serve food to the patio and the dining room, they didn't want to pick up trash in the general area. Can't imagine this is truly the reason. We asked, probably should've just done it, if we could order DoorDash and were told no. So my thoughts, you have a great location in the community with the opportunity to do great things. So be prepared for a little clean up. Put trash cans outside, there are none. If the kitchen is too small for the potential get creative. Sell premade snacks, chips etc. When you advertise a festival, prepare for a crowd and get a food truck. Or better yet use the food hut you have in the general area, that has a grill and sell hamburgers/hot dogs. Wanna have an Easter egg hunt and low on funds? Ask the community for donations. Or the vendors. You are part of the community, do better! read more

We really enjoyed our first visit to Paradigm this afternoon. The place looks great. It's modern but still feels welcoming. It has a nice modernist pub feel going for it. We loved the food .. the sausages were great and the pork belly appetizer was amazing. I did a taster set of four with beers recommended by our server. In fact, our server, Emma, hit it out of the park. She really knew her stuff, helped guide me to the best beers for my tasting, and explains and recommending food. If you try this place, and you should, make sure you ask for Emma because she will help make your experience great. read more

Tomball Texas?! What's even out there? Well let me tell ya.. some goooood beer and amazing food. If you're ever near the area please stop by! They have so many options for beer and even food! I didn't expect much on the food and it was on the pricier end but omg.. it was very much worth it! I got the Pork Bell BLT the pork was so thick and juicy and it was amazing in sandwhich form! My boyfriend go the Paradigm Burger and he destroyed it! aha On the side he got mac and cheese and that also was very delicious! not salty at all ! I got to get a tour inside the brewery and I love the story behind how paradigm started. Staff were all really nice and great customer service. This place is super kid friendly and lots of seating inside and out. I believe they sell their beer around the Houston area in select HEBs, Kroger, and few other places. read more

Love that there is a spot like this in Tomball/Spring area. Lots of outdoor space. Seemed very kid-friendly, and there were a lot of kids when we went on Saturday late afternoon. It was pretty busy when we got there. Service was great and friendly! But the food came out pretty slow. The food was ok - standard beer food. Love that they have locally sourced Kielbasa - best thing we ordered! I liked the Passionfruit ale! We were not blown away by any of the beers we tried, but still good! We'll try some others when we go again. We'll definitely be back. Seems like a great place to gather with groups. read more
