I've been to Cushwa Brewing Company a few times now mainly for their pizza, which has always been…read moreconsistently really good -- great crust, flavorful, and just done right. But at my most recent visit I finally tried the smashburger and it honestly stole the show with its perfectly crispy edges, juicy center, and bold flavor that I'd easily come back for again. I've also tried so many of their drinks at this point and genuinely loved all of them (the photos only show a few of what I've had). Overall between the quality of the food, the friendly and efficient service, and the clean, aesthetically pleasing vibe, it's such a solid spot that I'd rate it a 4.5/5 and will definitely keep coming back.

First time visiting and I noticed they specialize in Detroit-style pizza!…read more The place was bouncin' when we got there and with a toddler, it was hard to find seating, but a spot opened up fairly shortly :) it was kind of loud and hard to hear each other talk. We ordered the In Crust We Trust pizza. If I'm being honest, as someone who used to prepare deep dish pizzas, I was a little underwhelmed that I paid $24 for a small pizza. But the dough was deliciously springy like a focaccia, and the toppings worked well without making a soggy pizza! The service was good, straightforward and to the point :) with our toddler near the end of his rope for the evening, we ordered our food to go and it was ready in about 15-20 minutes. We added the cannoli bouquet and it was soooo good

Still trying to figure out why this brewery has so many Untappd beer awards. I had heard about…read moreSapwood and maybe 4-5 years ago I would have found these offers more appetizing but in the end, going there twice in three days, I wasn't all that impressed by the tap list. We hit the brewery on a Friday about 5:30pm and it was crowded but still found a table. Can't say enough good things about the staff, very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable when it came to their beers. But their beers were all over the board. Honestly, I've given up trying to find a good WCIPA outside of California, but did try their collab with North Park, called Pristine State. Also sampled a hazy pale called Beam of Light, their Pilsner, Scenic, a double hazy IPA, Vanillafort with a sh*t ton of vanilla beans, I'm Grander, their pasty stout and Osmosis, their amber lager. On top of that I also took home their blueberry maple pancakes and tangerine whip smüzi. Didn't open the tangerine and drain poured the blueberry pancakes after maybe half a glass. So Sapwood did a lot of different beers but none that I really could say suited my taste buds. Then again, I'm very spoiled with excellent craft in California. Their food was good, we ordered a taco sampler, Brussels sprouts and nachos. All the food was very flavorful and you got a fair amount for the price. Not much in the way of ambience, but it's a brew pub, there is rarely any of that. All in all my visits were average, not a big fan of their beer selection, nothing really fit my tastebuds, the North Park collab was close. Not sure what their niche was when it comes to beer. I don't need to be overwhelmed by the tap selection. Would I return? Yeah, but not my first choice for craft beer, but the food was more of a hit with me.

A colleague recommended this joint and for beer & tacos I was all in!…read more Shrimp taco was perfectly cooked and slightly spicy. The barbacoa had a great beef flavor and the toppings were well paired. As for the beer I made my way around the menu and liked their offerings.

For a place that doesn't have a kitchen, they sure have a lot going on. Customers can bring food (even pizzas) and games to play while enjoying a beer. The IPAs and Lagers were enjoyed by hubby & friends. I brought a water bottle (you can get water at the brewery too). Food trucks are periodically parked outside. The brewery has new flavors released on Fridays. The huge equipment can be seen from the seating area. Birthday parties and celebrations are allowed inside (max 30 people). The number & duration will determine how much it costs to rent the space. There was a birthday party taking place during our visit. Dogs are allowed if they are on a leash.

It was busy, but we managed to find two seats at the bar. The service was great. We enjoyed all of the beers we tried. It's spacious cool decor and lots of seating available (and a huge parking lot which is always a plus!). They don't serve food here, but often have food trucks. One was supposed to come while we were there, but they ended up cancelling without notice (not the fault of the bar at all). But you're allowed to DoorDash or bring in food if you're hungry. Overall, I really enjoyed this brewery and will happily return!

I made a reservation for my Hubby's birthday dinner…read more This establishment was easy to locate, provided free parking, very clean, and had great tv's for sports viewing. We were seated immediately upon arrival and greeted by Adam. Adam had a great personality larger than life!! Great recommendations, fantastic flow of food, and perfect for our party of 13. Collectively, we ordered the following. - Firecracker Grilled Wings - Amazing - Brewpub Pretzel - Very tender, tasty, and huge. Magnificent mustard came w pretzel. - Crab Dip - Plentiful, above average. - Frisco Chicken Sandwich - DE-licious !! - Brickoven Pies (Cheese) - A table hit!! - Bayou Burrito - A lot of flavor, great size. - Cheesesteak Eggrolls - The table couldn't get enough of this yumminess!! - Cajun Chicken & Shrimp Pasta - Perfecto!! - Louisiana Red Jambalaya - Whoa! Large portion, flavorful, and very good. - Frisco Burger - Perfecto !! Very good. - Loaded Caesar (Small) - Fresh - Skillet Cookie- So rich, shareable. - Campfire Brownie - Rich in flavor, tasty. - Grand Marnier (Shot) - ** read below ** - Long Island Iced Tea - VERY smooth! Each and everything was great, except a double shot ordered at the table. It was smaller than a single shot. We didn't want to make a scene, so we dealt w it. But never again. Overall, it was a great visit! I look forward to returning to catch sporting events on 1 of the many TV's as well as Happy Hour.

I came across their Tuesday crab cake special and had enough time to also make HH so how could I…read morenot. How could anyone not!? I decided upon their Escape Pina Colada Sour after Juan gave me a sample when he noticed my hesitancy and I agreed I could down a glass since it didn't taste like an actual beer after sipping lol I asked for a menu after some time had passed and after I tried scanning the QR code on the bar multiple times (don't do that. It's for the actual woodworker/carpenter lol) I saw their Tuesday special online but it wasn't mentioned on the menu so I asked and was informed it was only for the restaurant side (Frisco). I was confused because when I walked in on the Frisco side I asked the bartender about the brewery side since I knew I'd have to sample something before committing and was informed to go through the restroom door to reach it on the other side. I made sure to ask if I could also order food from over there as well and was informed I could. No worries though, Juan took care of me and was able to place the order for me. I was about to be bad and order fries but he recommended their parmesan risotto instead and I thought, of course! Then, I remembered they offered seasonal veggies and asked about it and to my happy surprise was informed they had bok choy or brussels sprouts! Either would be yummy so I quickly agreed. This is definitely a local's spot. Many people came in and were known my first names so I felt comforted by that. They're was also a manager on the phone figuring out a mishap with their POS system as well which made me feel like they were on their stuff. Highly appreciated plus he quickly picked up my keys when I dropped them also so I didn't have to get down from my seat. Speaking to a girlies heart The light was low so my pics show that and when I attempted to correct it, it just wasn't it lol. I enjoyed the bok choy and couldn't make out the flavors but they didn't take away from the slight pepperiness of it and the stalk still had it's crunch. But my crab cake was tasty. I don't know if i can get on board with the inside but being crazy hot. The one I had the day prior wasn't hot inside either and I don't want it deep fried . . . . . Hmmmmm, small I start a crab cake tour I've been awaiting this journey . . . . I shall! So this is officially stop No. 2 Crab cake was seasoned well. Not too much seasoning and not bland. The outside was covered with jumbo lump clusters and the color on the broil was perfect. Fresh parsley throughout and cocktail sauce was given but I wasn't going to take away from their version. Was it MD crab? I'm not sure but I feel like if it was, it would have been advertised as such. Still good and I'd order again. I can see myself coming back after work to take advantage of their HH many times in the future.

If you love onions you'll enjoy the onion crumble on this burger. A good balance of flavors and well worth the try. Parmesan fries also had roasted garlic so it was a big "Yes" for me! My husband got the jailbreak burger which was also a big crowd pleaser. To the right they have a full bar to try their different beers. A great spot to take your friends for after work drinks and eats. They even have a cozy lounge area to relax. Plenty of seating and great service. The staff was ready and willing to help and cleared off our tables for us. The tab system makes it easy to move from room to room so you don't have to worry, it's easy to add drinks and food as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely recommend for a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch games and also enjoy lively conversation. Better than a sports bar for food AND drinks.

There was like a tangy sauce on the tuna which took away from the flavor of the fish and for $22 I was expecting something a bit more. Otherwise, Jailbreak is always a solid choice for drinks and grub. They usually have reservations and larger parties, but it's a pretty open/communal space, so there aren't typically issues with seating. All in all, a great spot for many occasions.

Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. The chocolate pecan cake was absolutely fantastic. My only complaint is that the kids menu is not for kids. Looking at the menu the options are fine, but the pizza uses spicy sauce, the chicken nuggets are overly crispy and adult-ish, and the fish and chips is just a smaller portion of the adult version. The fish is overly identifiable for a kid. Perhaps this is my picky eaters, but the kids menu is for a near adult kid in my opinion.

One of the managers reached out to apologize for my previous experience and my next visit was a…read moremuch more pleasant one. There is the caveat that I ordered carry-out instead of dining in this time and it was a much more seamless process. I placed my order on their website (which is powered by Toast) and it was ready perfectly in time with my designated pickup time. My order came out ready and hot and all the pizzas and garlic bread came out great. In retrospect, I don't know that I would've ordered the garlic bread because I was expecting more of a garlic breadstick situation instead of a sauceless cheese pizza, but that's more of my own fault for not looking at any pictures first. All in all, it was a much more positive experience and I appreciate the management for working so hard to fix any road bumps in service.

On a recent, cold December evening, a friend and I decided to take a break to grab a quick bite to…read moreeat and agreed on Pub Dog in Columbia. We seated ourselves and the server came over promptly to take our drink orders while we perused the menu. The offerings are simple - a few appetizers, salads, and a wide variety of personal sized pizzas with numerous topping combinations. Our drinks arrived quickly we placed our order. My friend tried one of their craft beer offerings, Black Dog, listed as an Irish Stout, and mentioned it was good, but probably not memorable, lacking a depth and smoothness when compared to the classic Guiness, but drinkable and for a local product it was better than most craft brewery attempts at stout varieties.   We chose to split a Caesar's salad and chose the Spinach Pizza and Dog Pound Pizza for our main course. As we waited, numerous other staff came by to check on us verging on the edge of being annoying. While friendly in their approach, it seemed like a bit of overkill considering we had our drinks and were waiting for our pizzas. The place was less than half full, so they were probably just trying to be attentive and friendly. The salad and Dog Pound Pizza arrived soon after but there was no sign of my Spinach Pizza. If you'd like the salad before the pizza, I'd suggest you let them know in advance. After a few minutes we mentioned it to one of the servers checking on us, they went to check and returned saying it would be another 5 minutes or so - I think they forgot when they put the order into the kitchen.   The salad portion was quite large and was quite good for a Caesar salad and frankly, better than a lot of fancier establishments, plus there was enough for leftovers. We were a little disappointed with the pizzas themselves. The toppings were plentiful, maybe to a fault, and tasty but there was something lacking. For a specialty pizza place I would have expected a better crust - for both pizzas it was a bit soggy and difficult to lift off the plate for a proper bite. We ended up eating with a fork. Heartier appetites would finish the individually sized pizzas, but we had enough to take home for lunch the next day.   The atmosphere is sports bar like; the service prompt, courteous, and maybe a bit over-attentive; the portions and toppings generous; the price is extremely fair - a decent choice if you're in the neighborhood, but not quite a foodie destination establishment unless perhaps you're a beer enthusiast.
