Outside entrance

Atmosphere inside and out is amazing. Wonderful place for events or a date. Staff is great. Beer is good. But. The. Food. The food is really terrible. Subpar. The cheese curds, however, are great and by far the best thing on the menu. Problem is, the ranch is not ranch. Pretty bland and bad. Dipping sauces in general are highlighted in the menu, but none hit the mark by any stretch. Every time you order a $20 pizza you eat it and wish you had made a frozen $4 pizza at home. I hate to say it because I do appreciate what the company is trying to do...but everyone in my group and to the left and right of us spends the evening talking about how bad the food is. So it's time to post - the food is overrated. Also, you sit outside, staff will not bring you napkins with your order, nor water - even if you ask. My family and friends have been coming to this place for at least two years and the best decision is to simply eat first then come to enjoy the atmosphere.

Sunset beers

This brewery checks all the boxes, great beer selection, delicious food (the pizza is a fave!), and a patio that's perfect for soaking in the sunset. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, making it an easy favorite for a casual night out.

It's been a while since we've been to their second location and they've expanded quite a bit! They now have shipping container type bars and game areas and plenty of patio seating. Stopped on a Friday night for dinner and they had live music so it was packed. Thankfully, we found a high top table for our group. They have similar ordering to other breweries (e.g., Eagle Park) and you can order via QR and keep your tab open and keep ordering throughout the night. It's a lot easier since you don't have to fuss with a server, wait for the check, etc. They even indicate the approximate wait time for food so it was nice for planning apps and dinner. Pretty quick service from time of ordering and they have water stations to grab your own water as needed. The parking is limited since they use a lot of their lot for patio seating but you can park on the surrounding streets. Nice bathrooms with plenty of supplies for ladies. Great touch! Will be back.

Grilled chicken, bacon and avocado sandwich. Very good and filling.

Stopped in for a beer and diner after a hike around Waukesha. Nice clean, comfortable, modern interior. I enjoyed my Naked Threesome IPA. My Mello Rillo wasn't as good; described as lighter but not for me. My wife enjoyed her Black Walnut Imperial Stout and Six Stone Scotch Ale. We relaxed with our beers and played some cribbage, then ordered food by scanning our table code. We both ordered the grilled chicken, bacon and avocado sandwich with fries. They were brought to our table fairly quickly. They were very good, with a nice serving of chicken, thick cut bacon, avocado, lettuce and tomato on toasted bread. The fries were warm, lightly seasoned and crispy. Very please overall and would certainly come back.

Really like the aesthetic of this place. Lots of seating available inside. Beer is really good and all the servers/bartenders were wonderful.

Deep dark secret
Brian B.

Depending on the weather, you have your choice of outdoor activities and seating or heading inside and watching TV. You can roam around and choose from all the bar seating, high tops, and barrel tables, and play whatever games you'd like. For beers, I've had their Deep Dark Secret, Black Walnut, Snakes & Spiders, and a few others. If you have nothing else, at least indulge in their fries, which are dusted with signature RG seasoning. Served with N3S beeroli and ketchup. But be warned, they go down like candy while drinking. We find ourselves ordering more or going for another menu item like a Bottoms Up Burger or French Onion Burger. You'll get some protein and another round of fries. I haven't had their pizzas, though they do great with the food, so I'm certainly willing to go for that on another trip out there. Their ceilings are high, so I find the acoustics nice; the sound doesn't echo so much that I have to yell to talk to the person next to me. It's always nice meeting other beer fans who share their experiences with things they've tried at Raised Grain. Also, don't be shy; talk to others, especially the staff! Introvert or not, take some samples of what you may be interested in before committing to that full pour. Sometimes, it makes more sense to have a flight as opposed to a full glass of something that's very flavor-forward. Always check your glasses while you're out there. Unfortunately, it is common in breweries for me to get a glass with someone else's lipstick on it from time to time. They rectified this situation right away, but just keep it in mind, if your luck is like mine.

Food was okay...service was rough. Seem definitely like they wanted to leave versus help you. Cheese curds were above average...but they were a bit over salty. Food took long time 45+ minutes and wanted to add to order on phone but they cancelled kitchen service mid order. Super annoying. Rest of Food was mid. Burger was charred but they never asked on how to cook so I guess charred is what it is. Had 1 pilsner that was good. Will not be returning.

Cheese curds
Jessica M.

Neither my husband nor I drink but we went with Raised Grain Brewing because it was close to the park that we went to for tennis and it has a large dining section for our group of nine. Our group ordered separately by scanning the QR code at the table. My family of four tried the Birdseye Tripel cheese curds, fries, and pepperoni and mushroom pizza. The cheese curds were perfectly executed. The fries were nothing special but the highlight was the N3S beeroli that it came with. The pizza was really thin and overly salty.

Black Walnut Imperial Stout
Travis B.

Black Walnut Imperial Stout: I estimate I consumed as much beer on an average Saturday in college as I do in three months these days. Occasionally I take up the opportunity to try something new though. I couldn't find a whole lot of info on the history of Raised Grain Brewing Co. What I can tell you is that it is located in Waukesha, WI, their current brewery opened in 2018, and most interestingly, the team is led by two local doctors, a professional cyclist, and a local entrepreneur. Their Black Walnut Imperial Stout is described as a complex stout with hints of vanilla and coffee supported by a dark, Belgian malty base with candy sugar. It has an IBU of 100 and an abv of 9.5%. The stout pours an opaque black with a good-sized tan head. There's a creamy feel to it and it has a medium thickness good for the winter months. Taste was mostly chocolate and coffee with just a hint of vanilla in the aftertaste. Personally, I thought this was just okay (3 stars for me), but I'm biased as I'm not a huge fan of stouts. Most beer connoisseurs will likely enjoy this (4 stars). Doughboy_Food_Reviews

Yum big pretzel!
Christina S.

Really enjoy this spot! It is great for visiting with friends or with kids. They are always busy but in the summer have ample seating inside and out. Their food is actually really good. We had the nachos appetizer and who puts goat cheese on nachos? No one. But I'm telling you it was crunchy creamy heaven! They do rotate various pizza flavors and those are unique as well. The beer is a nice variety and can please most palates. Fun vibes in Waukesha!

Love this place, never go more than 2 weeks before we circle back and order again. It's fantastic!…read more The food is delicious. Period. They have the best Tripe tacos I've ever had. Followed by the Lengua tacos. WOW. Of course you have to try the Quesabirria Tacos w/consume. Dynamite! My wife always gets the chicken enchilada in salsa roja, my daughter a quesadilla (she boring). Jalisco has the BEST sides of rice and beans I've ever had in a Mexican establishment, great flavors and respect for the ingredients and cooking process so everything shines through. They have Elote too, not quite the traditional way but damn I can't stop eating it! I've tried almost the whole menu; the lomo en salsa de arbol, carne asada, chile rellenos, bistec à la mexicana, gorditas w/carnitas & chorizo. I could eat here everyday! It's a cute little place with great service. Recently I caught some World Cup action while we waited. Different beers and sodas (Modelo, Jarritos) are available, as well as fresh guacamole and pico de gallo. They make a spicy taco salsa that's the right amount of heat and flavor. Give the a try, you won't regret it! Never errored an order of mine either, very consistent - and affordable! Like wow!

We walked in for the first time while in the area…read more It wasn't late, and the place was practically empty. The layout of the place is peculiar, and it didn't help that somebody left a broom and the garbage in the middle of room. This "paisana" and her husband were standing in the front and the attendant walked by and never even turned around to help us. She never came back. The cook was also standing there, too; with his phone, just a few steps away from us. The whole things was weird and gave us the goosebumps. I wouldn't even try to go back.
