    Got a comment from whoever that didn't like my review about there food. Stating it's a tap room not a restaurant!!! Maybe they should t serve food if there not a restaurant. I wouldn't eat here if I was starving. Beer was ok but why have a fancy place with ok beer and why not take the time and actually cook the food instead of microwaved junk. Wast of time and money for me.

    We love Paxtons. This has become our Wednesday spot. The staff Nick and Pam are always friendly and very knowledgeable about the brew on tap. I like to shake it up a bit and the staff is always great at making recommendations. Place is always clean and inviting, but it's the staff that keeps us coming back.

    Comfortable, welcoming, laid back atmosphere. Wide beer selection and snacks. Within walking distance to restaurant options.

    They have recently changed the food options and it is very bad. Don't go here if you're hungry.

    If you are looking for a cocktail, you do NOT want to go to Paxtons. They advertise cocktails but it is very limited.

    We went there on a Sat around 6, empty. Nothing going on, no pool tables, no video games, no nothing to keep people there. Good luck!

Not very approachable when ordering at the bar. Made it very uncomfortable to be there and there were only a handful full of ppl at the time..not busy at all!!

We…read morewent for Taco Tuesday; you can get $2 beef tacos, which many members did and said were very good. However, I decided to go with an appetizer I've never tried, the Bang Bang Shrimp, which was dynamite! You get four very large, crispy shrimp in a sweet-and-spicy sauce, though I didn't find it spicy, if that's a concern for some. The sauce was very tasty; the shrimp had great flavor, were plump and tender, and they were indeed crispy. This went very well with the arugula under the shrimp. I'd order this again in a second. I then had two tacos à la carte: Baja Fish beer-battered cod and Carnitas. Both were very large and excellent. The pork on the Carnitas was indeed crispy as it should be, and the cod was perfectly fried and delicious. My wife had the Asian Tuna Noodle Crunch Bowl: seared tuna, lo mein noodles. The dressing was superb; the Tuna was perfectly seared raw, and all the items that came with the salad (mango, red cabbage, daikon radish sprouts, kale crunch, edamame, cilantro, peanuts, toasted sesame) made for a lovely and delicious meal. Our server, Tony, did a fantastic job of keeping us all happy. My only 'complaint' was that Boxcar doesn't serve their amazing Brussels sprouts, or at least not all the time. Not on the menu. I told Tony and the manager how much I love them and was told it may come back as a special from time to time. Man, the Boxcar Brussels sprouts are amazing! Boxcar has very, very good food, and I would usually avoid what appears to be a 'sports bar,' but James Beard Foundation-recognized Chef Eric Stumpf will please the foodies every time. What is nice is that Boxcar has several seating areas, so if you're into food and not the 'bar scene,' they can seat you in an area that is quiet.

    Rowley is on my very short list of "destination breweries." Whenever I'm traveling anywhere near…read moreSanta Fe (from Tucson) I make it a point to stop at RFA. Lovers of farmhouse, saison, wild, mixed-culture, sour and innovative brewing in general, need to put this on their bucket list. The food isn't your basic brew-pub fare either. The kitchen puts as much craft and innovation as do the brewers. It's a working brewery, though, so don't expect anything more than friendly, relaxed atmosphere. There's more outdoor-ish seating than inside. I've experienced slight waits on busy nights, but it's always worth it. I'm not a resident, but I am a regular, and the friendly crew often recognizes me from my love of their beer and my enthusiasm for their commitment to the craft.

    We came here at the end of our day. They had indoor and outdoor seating and we decided to sit…read moreoutdoors. Most of their seating was outside enclosed with a rooftop with an open and comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Service was very friendly and always available. The food was ok; we were glad to be in a brewery that served food. There were many beer choices. We ordered a flight of beers to try. We enjoy IPAs but unfortunately couldn't find one that we really liked. There was not much noise level which made it perfect for conversations. There was plenty of parking and it was easy to park. I would recommend this brewery.

    It's a Saturday night and we (out of towners) returned from our day trip to Taos. Tried to get in…read morefor dinner somewhere within walking distance from our hotel and were rebuffed by a couple of local eateries since we hadn't made a reservation. Walked by The Cowgirl and figured "may as well try here". We were promptly seated inside, but by a door, so that was fine. Our server, Luis, brought waters and took our marg orders. They came out quickly and we ordered the squash flower app. It was DIVINE! So delicious! We did not expect such a culinary delight. My GF ordered the vegan tacos with real cheese and I had the Ortega chile relleno as my main. The tacos were "make your own" and came with a bowl of tasty crisp veggies plus so many sides (guac, spicy salsa, cheese, lettuce, rice & beans which were quite tasty). Props to Luis for his attentiveness despite how busy it was. The decor is fun to look at and next time, I'd like to sit outside. As we left, a band as preparing to play. Would recommend if you're looking for tasty vegetarian food!

All of the meat was extremely juicy and dripping with sauce but not in a good way unfortunately. Potato salad and beans were just plain gross and didn't have any flavor like where is the salt? Maybe some pepper?? The ribs were the only thing I would recommend and the Mac and cheese as a side. The outside seating area was cute and the waitress we had was really sweet and the food did come out quick. ***There is also little to no parking unless it's street parking
