We arrived around 5:30 on a busy Thursday night. It's not a big place, and there were already 2 tables of 6+ people & several tables of 2-4. We actually got the last available table. It's worth the wait, but there was a long wait. I think there was only one person in the kitchen and they really had a hard time getting all the orders out for the two large group tables. However, our server was friendly and efficient, considering it was just her and one other server, waiting on everyone and doing the bartending. She replenished water often and got me a new beer whenever I needed one. She got our appetizer of onion petals out quickly, but then it was over an hour wait for our other food. We were a little disappointed that they were out of the pork rinds and they were also out of the elk burger tonight which were of the things we were looking forward to trying. The onion petals were very good. They did have elk sliders so my husband ordered those. We enjoyed them, more flavorful & not gamey like venison. I ordered a patty melt since I had not had one of those in ages. By the time our food arrived the bar was also full, but by now it was going on 7pm. So, we did enjoy our visit & liked all the food & we'd eat there again. Others would have been obviously bothered by the long wait for the food, but we were on vacation and we were not in a hurry. Despite being super busy our server was kind & didn't seem stressed out.

Great wings. Many different sauces. Everything we tried was delicious. Try Thursday wing night.read more

I got the Buffalo Run Burger, which was a mix of buffalo and hamburger, bacon, cheese, and a fried pickle chip. It was very good, as were the fried pickles we got as an appetizer. The bill was reasonable and service was attentive. I'll definitely come back when looking for a quick place to get out of Morgantown.

A few family members asked for their number to cater their 4th of July parties. We ate the leftovers for days after (so don't worry about your guests not getting enough at the buffet) and the chicken and turkey were still as moist as the day they originally made it. My husband and I live on the west coast and are devastated we can't come to eat at their restaurant every week. Charlie was also so wonderful to work with! She was very communicative and accommodating. We had a few guests with allergies and they were easily able to find a solution. They were even able to hire a few bartenders from their staff. The beer is delicious, so also consider order their kegs for your special event as well. Who doesn't love a one stop shop for food and drinks?? We love Brewery and the Beast!

When my meal arrived, it was clearly Tikka Masala rather than the Chicken Marsala I had ordered. When placing the order, the waitress and I had specifically discussed the Chicken Marsala, as she said it was on special, so she hadn't tried it. When I asked if the dish delivered was Tikka Masala rather than Marsala, she initially told me it was what I had ordered. A few minutes later, she came back and acknowledged that the order was wrong, saying she "actually doesn't know the difference between them," and told me the correct meal would take about another 10 minutes. It ended up taking approximately 25 minutes. When someone from the kitchen finally brought my meal, they apologized by saying, "Sorry for your server's incompetence." By the time my meal arrived, my family had already finished eating and had been waiting in the car for more than 15 minutes. Our server later came back to process the bill, but no compensation or meaningful effort was made to address the situation. When I explained how disappointing the experience had been, the apology felt very half-hearted. I completely understand that mistakes happen. What was frustrating was the lack of urgency, communication, and effort to make things right. A simple ordering mistake could have been handled much differently. The food itself seemed good, which makes the experience even more disappointing. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously, because good food can only go so far when the customer service falls short.

Craft beers, nice decor, good food, great staff, good for a group…read more About 12 of us wanted a meal all together in McHenry MD, and we all like craft beer and pizza, so the Mountain State Brewing Co. restaurant was an easy choice. (Jun 2026). It's a large brew pub with a cabin-like décor, out Sang Run Road just north of Deep Creek Lake. There's a little carved bear by the front door, and a kid-size huggable bear at the host stand. Photo ops! And fun for the kids! They seated us quickly and our server was quick in taking beer orders. They have plenty of soft drinks, and we got Lemonade and Apple Juice, Orange Fanta (a favorite), and a pitcher of Mountain State's own creamy MSBC Root Beer - made here! Beer-wise, there were 16 draft crafts plus a couple of old standards to choose from on a paper menu or by looking at their website or QR-code. Most were around 5% ABV. We had Pennsylvania's full-flavored grassy citrusy mildly-bitter Victory Summer Love golden ale. We raided MSBC's just-west-of-here West Virginia brewery of their creamy malty lightly-bitter Miner's Daughter oatmeal stout, and a lightly-bitter caramel Almost Heaven amber ale. New York's Hudson North brewed us some summery sweet Salted Watermelon cider. And we had some from home: Columbia MD's Black Flag Snozzberry Haze: a fruity piney hazy IPA, standing up at 7% ABV. Baltimore's Mobtown Fever Dream, a creamy flavorful somewhat fruity IPA, punching at 7.4% ABV. And Baltimore's Wico Street Yeah Brah, a strongly-bitter double IPA, clobbering us with an 8.5% ABV! A wonderful fermented tour of the northeast! Get ready to say "yum" out loud... From their wide range of bar foods and appetizers, we had fresh crisp tortilla chips with their medium-spicy cream cheese and homemade-ranch baked Buffalo Chicken Dip, elevated with blue cheese on top and an add-on side of chipotle! They made their own fresh-Spinach & Artichoke Dip with fresh basil, roasted red peppers, and an extravagant blend of cream cheese, feta, mozzarella, asiago, parmesan, and cheddar jack. The giant soft crust Pretzels & homemade Beer Cheese were notably popular with the kids. Salads? Yep. Tasty Lemon Herb Chicken Salad, crisp and crunchy Caesar salad, house salad with requested black olives, and cole slaw. And sides of orange segments and raisin-like cranberries for the little ones. And on to the main feast :-). Simple fried chicken nuggets and off-the-menu Pepperoni Pizza to be sure the younger crowd was satisfied. The Boars Nest sandwich was overnight-tender pulled pork with tangy Carolina BBQ sauce and fresh crunchy cole slaw on a lightly-toasted brioche bun. The spicier "wilder" Wild Boar sandwich had that low-and-slow pulled-pork awakened with bright jalapeños and spicy Chipotle BBQ sauce, topped with provolone on that toasted yet pillowy brioche. The fresh Caprese sandwich had firm ripe Roma tomatoes, tender baby spinach, and fresh mozzarella with requested added chicken. It was all dressed with bright basil dressing, drizzled with tangy sweet balsamic glaze, on crisp and soft toasted Italian bread. A well-made classic caprese re-invented by MSBC as a bright crunchy sandwich! Everyone liked those classic crisp pepperoni pies. From their world-class pizza recipes, we had the Supreme: pepperoni, sausage, onions, green peppers, their cheese blend, and black olives, drizzled with fragrant fresh olive oil. And the vegetarian so-tasty-you-wouldn't-guess it-was-gluten-free Yard Sale pizza: marinated artichokes, prosciutto, mozzarella, with an olive oil & garlic base, sprinkled with fresh basil and a dash of freshly-cracked black pepper. Mountain State Brewing Co. gave us a memorable spread of great beers and delicious creative foods. You know we enjoyed leftovers the next day :-) Our terrific server Claire was ever-attentive, and between you and me, made it seem effortless to host our full table of hungry adults and kids. We'll be back, especially for their wide-ranging ever-changing draft list and those amazing pizzas!

The front area shows the grow space for the micro greens they grown themselves. There is also a cute little to go area for various products they sell or local goods. But the service and the food were the best part. We came on a Saturday at around 7:30. There was space for us. We were worried since we didn't know if reservations were necessary. They sat us and got our drink and food orders. My husband got a beer and I got a Negroni. Both we were very happy with. The appetizer we got was the elote dip and it was fantastic! Even my son loved it! Forget chips and salsa. I could eat that elote dip all day. Our entrees were chicken tacos, mushroom tacos, and the tomato sandwich. Now the tacos were good. But that tomato sandwich was out of this world! The only miss was our son asked for no onions on the tacos and they came out all over it. We pushed them off and it was fine. We didn't want to make a big deal about it. All in all a great spot for fresh food done really well. The outside area was pretty too!
