The service here is so small town and I love it. Walk in and feel like your family! I get the sour cider and my mom got the Mio seltzer! They have live music here sometimes and they also have food! read more

Such a fun place with the very best VIBE! Sun's up, Guns up! The beer was good and there were some great selections. If you are not a beer drinker they had a great variety of seltzers. There are some great food choices from the food truck. We tried the jalapeño popper nachos and they were tasty. read more

It was brought to my attention that the kitchen is a different business. Therefore, I'd recommend to look at the menu thoughtfully before ordering food items. The brewery however is still a thumbs up. Good selection and variety of beer. Good service. Cool glass. And plenty of seating with live music at times. read more

We chose this place because 1/2 the marriage went to Tech and the other smarter half went to Texas - just kidding. We chose this place because hubby does a lot of Longhorn stuff with me, and so when we see a Tech-themed place outside of Lubbock, we go! Actually I (the Texas grad) wish there was MORE Texh stuff here - had to look hard for it. There are plenty of Red Raiders in Central Texas, REPRESENT!! We tried the Amber ale, which like all the beers here is brewed in tiny 3-6 gal. batches. It was a very good beer, one that we would definitely get again next time we are in Johnson City. We also each had the cheeseburger and chips, which came by on a bun but in grilled panini bread. The meat was cooked through and the cheese melted well (I think on the smoker), so it had a very nice flavor. It needs some acid to cut the beefy cheesiness - a brown or Dijon mustard would have been great. There were a wide variety of beers on tap, but we were on the road for San Marcos, so didn't want to drink more than one beer. Flights looked great though - and there's a nice front porch to drink them on. This is apparently THE place to watch the Red Raiders play football on Saturdays, but the staff at the bar had no idea about what radio station to listen to the game on while watching it on TV. Tech has the Bad Boys of College Football Radio calling games, and they are by far the best college football radio broadcast team in the US (Brian Jensen, John Harris), and in my opinion, all football should be watched on TV with the sound turned down and the radio broadcast on. Google Red Raider radio network - it will change your life, I guarantee. (I tweeted Brian and John about this place, FYI). 5 Wreck 'em Tech Stars! read more

We brought our two girls here for lunch before heading into Fredericksburg and really enjoyed the quaint dining room with great service. The loaded baked potato was awesome and we all loved the fresh chips and salsa. This a wonderful little spot! The beers were great! read more

Awesome stuff! Never expected it in Johnson City. Spectacular BBQ and food. Even better beer and drinks. Live music was a wonderful touch. An excellent place to kick back for a few hours and enjoy life. Stop here instead of all those wineries. You'll have a WAY better time! read more

Beer was really good. The service at the bar was great. Whoever is preparing the food needs to pull their head out of their ass and get a sense of urgency. 45 minutes for chips and queso, two Reuben's and a loaded baked potato is WAY TOO LONG. If you're in a hurry don't order food. read more

Always great service, fun events, and of course, the beer! Food is not too shabby either. read more

Cozy place to enjoy some locally brewed beer. Tim, the owner and brewmaster, is happy to tell you about his craft beers, including the Norwegian yeasts he selected for their compatibility with brewing in hot Texas weather. To keep startup costs down, he did almost all of the construction himself - check out my picture of the beer flight holders he made from lumber. Speaking of flights, I decided to try all 7 of the beers on tap. My favorites were the hazy IPA and both of the stouts. All of the selections were solid. I didn't see any food on the menu. The interior space features an L-shaped bar good for socializing, a comfy love seat, a mini pool table, and whimsical touches such as a guitar sitting in a stand, ready for someone to pick up and play. If hanging out indoors isn't your thing, there are a few outdoor tables under a ginormous oak branch. While I also love the brewery around the corner, I plan on working Reck 'Em Right into my rotation! read more

The owner is super personable, the location is close to the shopping that you could sit between shopping, but lots of better parking then right off main/290! Inside it's such a comfy and classy rustic style taproom! I tried the amber and it was yummy and enjoyable ! I can't wait to go by when I have more time and to hang out and feel the environment even more! Definitely think you should it out! read more

I wish I lived in Johnson City so I could be a regular. We'll definitely stop when we're driving through. I loved all the Texas Tech decorations. We really enjoyed the Pilsner and the Imperial Stout....next time I'll try some other beers. The grilled cheese was perfectly done and the sausage wrap was tasty as well. I appreciated the hand sanitizer that's at every table. Extremely clean restaurant and bathrooms. read more

My wife and I were staying in Blanco for the weekend when we decided to pop over to Johnson City to try out something new to us. The moment we walked in, the owner greeted us with a smile and a big welcome. We chatted about his beers and football. I honestly could have talked to him for hours. The Red Ale was easily one of the most approachable and tasty reds I've ever had. The atmosphere felt like home and I can't wait to go back next time we are in the area. Oh, and the playlist he had on was perfection. read more

Reck 'Em Right Brewing - Delicious Red Ale and Pale Ale - Breweries Near Me - Johnson City, Texas

Man, if you have not tried this place, you are missing out! We were here a couple years ago and it was strictly a brewery. Outstanding beer and great people. In case you have missed it, RER now has food...and DAMN! I got the pulled pork Cubano and my wife got the Hawaiian Pulled Pork. Her sandwich was really, really good. She even said once it was gone, "I miss it already." My Cubano was a brilliant twist on a traditional Cuban, with the traditional ingredients, including pickle, ham, and mustard. The addition of their house smoke pulled pork sent it into the next level. The beer here has been excellent from day one, but with the addition of a killer menu, this is now a one-stop shop that really needs to be on your list. Summing up, phenomenal beers, next level sammys, and really great people. Why more does one need? read more

Had the opportunity to visit the town of Johnson City, and it is such a beautiful city. Reck'Em Right Brewing Company is located just off Main Street. What a wonderful unique experience this restaurant is. From Cold Beer on Tap, Live Music, to BBQ. I ordered BBQ Brisket Sandwich, BBQ Brisket Frito Pie, BBQ Brisket Potato and some local brewed Beer. For starters the environment is awesome, even it having a Texas Tech Flare! The Brisket was on point & please get rid of the BBQ Sauce. That Brisket is so good it does a disservice to even think about putting that on the Brisket. Please do not change whatever you guys are doing out in Johnson City, because everything was delicious. Live music was a Father & Son duo who are very talented. Here is to many more years of success to this hidden gem in the Hill Country!! Great Job Reck'Em Right Brewing Company keep it up. If you are ever near this establishment it is a must to Stop & Enjoy some excellent BBQ!!! read more

Best burger I've had in years! Really loved the ambiance and good seltzers too. Very homey cozy vibes.

We absolutely love this place! Best Reuben I've ever had and the beer is equally as good! The owner is always friendly. We do not visit my grandfather without stopping at Reck Em Right! read more

11/6/2022 Passing thru on a Sunday and stopped here for lunch. Wife had the Ruben and I had a pulled pork taco. Ruben , what a surprise ! Made with brisket. A Delicious flavor profile. !! The pulled pork was super smoky delicious !! We had BBQ yesterday, in Elgin, at 1 of the 2 well known BBQ spots and this Brisket & Pulled pork was WAY BETTER ! It's not fancy, but the quality of Beer and Champagne seltzer will be worth the stop! read more

Suns Up...Guns Up! Great food, excellent beer! Don't miss this! Met our daughter here for her birthday and we were not disappointed. We all like different beer and they had everything from hoppy to dark...burgers were delish! read more

Beer was tasty, my brisket tacos were great! 80's trivia was super fun!! It was worth the stop! We will be back again next trip to town!

Not a place to go to for the food, which was why I was there. Beer good We had a wedge salad, not like a wedge you'd get elsewhere, and a loaded baked potato with chicken. Came with tiny bbq sauce, etc in the side. Go ahead and ask for more when you order. Good service read more

I revisited this place and found the beers and the temperature much better. This place seems to have stepped up their game, glad to see it. Love local breweries. read more

We had heard that there were new brewery tap rooms in Johnson City and decided to drive over and check it out. It was empty except for the owner so we sat and ordered a flight. The beers weren't extraordinary but pretty good. We missed out on the food, he said the kitchen was closed. The art gallery part was really cool. One of the things that put me off was even though the hours were 11-9 pm the owner was cleaning and turning things off while we were there at 5:00 pm and I felt a big "go away" vibe. Not a nice feeling when trying to relax on a Sunday afternoon. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

Food was good. We just had appetizers and met some friends for drinks. The beer is good and cold. Service is good. You order at the bar, but it's still good service. Typical hill country dive. Good surroundings. Good folks. read more

This place was delicious! I had the Smashburger (amazing flavor), my husband had the brisket sandwich and said it was excellent. Our daughter had the kids brisket taco and it was such a huge portion. We also tried the pretzel bites and queso and were not disappointed. So good. Try it! read more

The place doesn't look like much but the food was excellent. Seems to be a local hangout.

Stopped in for a few brews last month and chatted it up with the owner/bartender. Nice guy and nice selection of brews. Place doesn't look like much but hey, those are usually the best places, right? Food truck outside serves up good stuff and the beers are varied and tasty, so get yer butt over there and have a few brews! read more

I had the Reuben with pulled pork on marbles rye. Super tasty! Very unique and enjoyable hangout stop along the way

Well, from the outside it doesn't look like much, but the food and beer more than make up any lack of appearance. Awesome beers, Red Ale and Tool Shed Brown were excellent. BBQ is home made in house, outstanding. Well worth the time, to eat and drink. read more

We chose to come here since I'm a Tech alumni and have been wanting to check this place out to satisfy our BBQ craving. We ordered the Ultimate Nachos and Brisket Sandwich. The food was unfortunately underwhelming. It was disappointing given the positive reviews. However, the beer was really good! This is definitely the place to come to in order to try beers and consider food only if you're in need of a quick bite. The establishment was clean and we appreciated the good service. read more

Always impressed by the beers. Get the Toolshed if on. Must stop when passing through Johnson City.

Great place for some feel good American food and cold beer. TX Tech themed and down to earth staff make it a great place to fill up on football, beer, food, and friends.. Wreck'em! read more

Visited on a packed night and still had stellar service and even got to chat with the owner a bit. Love the red ale!

Hole in the wall with style. Had live music with an artist that was amazing! Classic riffs of great songs and vocals that shock you...thought I was at Austin's music scene! Beer was decent and food too but just a little pricey for what we got. Two sandwiches and two beers plus tip was about $50, which seemed a bit much.... But it tasted dang good!!! read more

New menu is sandwiches and chips. Seems food comes from next door. Maybe a COVID deal. Good selection of beer. Not crowded mid afternoon. read more
