Decent brewery in this quiet town -- the brews were interesting, with some dessert style stouts/porters, a few fruity lagers, and a couple of beers with peppers thrown into the mix. I tried an interesting jalapeño honey blonde ale and think they did a fine job executing on this, not letting any one flavor dominate. It has a nice kick, some sweetness, and is overall pretty drinkable. I also had their badlands pizza, apparently their most popular. It was pretty good, they did a decent job with the sauce and the ricotta. The space overall is pretty big, with tables and a few bar seats adjacent to their axe throwing space. Service was good... almost too good. My server seemed eager to get tables to pay their bills despite the place being less than half-full. He would ask to give a check or box things up while folks were still midway through their entree, with full beers in front of them. Love the dedication, but let folks enjoy their time at your business!

Atmosphere is fun, open family friendly. Enjoyable flight of beers which included Dill Pickle Wheat (fun combination); Huckleberry Hybrid really cool fruit hint while not overly sweet. Pronghorn Peach Wheat which was well matched with the normal beer flavors. Finally Bluehawk Belgian, though a great beer it was over shadowed by the others and the Mango Habanero. Dinner was a taco salad and taco pizza. Both great! Ask for Grant and sit back and enjoy the meal!

So, was passing through and saw the billboards advertising the brewery. Being for San Diego, I have sampled their beers from local pubs, etc and was excited to stop in. I found the place to be really nice with a high energy vibe. Lots of parking and even offered parking for RVs to spend the night as a layover space in a big lot. I didn't have lunch but did pick up some cans of beer to go, the IPA and an interesting Habanero infused type beer. The girl who helped me was very nice and charming and the place was busy with many folks having lunch and a pint. I do resolve to return next time I'm in the area and stay a bit longer.

Our visit to this place was good. A little understaffed with 2 girls for 16 tables but our waitress was super sweet, we shared a a cheese platter and a pizza with the kids, i tasted a flight of beer and it was not bad.

Another brewery we really wanted to fall in love with but unfortunately if fell pretty short! Probably a great family spot for many with the axe throwing and space but for us, we go for the brew! Nothing really tripped our trigger, a couple of them even tasted a bit like a floral dish soap! Perhaps the kitchen needs attention? Not sure but the beer just wasn't at all what we like. I understand that's not a reason to lower the rating to just okay so read on for the rest!! Our bartender knew nothing about the brews, literally nothing! We asked about several of them and he had to look them up or worse, told us he had no idea! If our bartender doesn't know, who does?!! We sat at the bar and he smiled right away and gave us menus immediately but that was the end of the quick service! Everything else took forever including our first flight. You see, the bartender is also the axe throwing area guy, he had to leave the bar several times to attend to things going on back there! Then, the keg ran out for one I ordered and he was the one that had to go in the back and change it! So again, another long wait for four little glasses! Just not a good impression! The food is good, nothing great but it was good. We had a sampler platter and the potstickers, didn't try the pizza, that might be where the magic is! All in all, Phat Fish is a super cool place to hang out with friends and the family as kids can run free throughout the entire place, including the outside patio where they can swing on the swing while screeching and inside where they can jump on and off the couches like it's a trampoline park!

I will start with the positive- I really enjoyed the beer. They had peach, raspberry and huckleberry wheat beers and the peach and raspberry were exceptional. The ambiance was great as well. However, we experienced very poor service from the second we walked in. Our waitress was not attentive in the least- often on her phone near the front counter. We did not get plates with our pizza and when we asked, she went right back to her phone. When I tried to get her attention, she said she was waiting on the beer and then went on talking to another waitress. Then, I really liked their merchandise and went to the counter to pay for my selections. Another girl rang it up, took my card and then quickly hurried away. She didn't even take the hanger off the shirt and I had to grab my own bag.

Pizza, beer, wings, mozz sticks, and the location were excellent. My wife liked a phat fish huckleberry beer we bought from badlands national park, so we decided to drop by on our way out from Theodore Roosevelt NP. We tried a fair amount of beers. Favorite was the peach Belgian, but the stouts (PB and coffee) were good. Really liked the passion fruit beer - paired well with rhetorical phat fish rubbed wings. Wings were cooked to perfection - crispy and juicy. We got the badlands pizza on Detroit crust - great meats, aromatic pizza dough, fluffy. Sauce was decent and seemed home made. Mozz sticks were definitely way better than freezer section sticks. Battered, not breaded. Cooked perfectly. Con: would have drank more beer with more frequent check ins at the outdoor patio.

Ta-Da - our Harvest Host for tonight! Easy access off I-94 - huge parking lot & lots of room inside (also outside seating). Service was great - we sat at the bar & had lunch. Food was good followed by a Stout beer - Yum! Inside is like a small warehouse so you don't have to worry about talking too loud - LoL. TV's all over for the sports fanatic - oh & there is also Axe throwing! Pretty cool. Stop on by, you won't be disappointed!

This was a great spot for a laid-back dinner while in town. You seat yourself and order at the counter. Service was friendly and fast. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs as we ordered their beer cheese nachos and two Detroit-style pizzas. The nachos were massive, easily could have fed a table of 5, and they were piled high with toppings. As for the pizzas, we ordered the Badlands and Grass Eater. These pizzas were thick! Easily 2" tall with pillowy soft crust and deliciously crunchy cheese on the pan edge. My personal favorite was the Grass Eater since it is a alfredo-based pizza, but both were delicious. Check this place out!
