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

My wife and I first learned about this brewery several years ago when they had a collaboration with…read moreAstro Lab next to us which became Third Hill. We love trying new breweries where we go and this seemed like the best one in Columbia we haven't been to. I had high expectations but they by far exceeded it. This may be the best brewery we have been to. They have so many offerings and we loved everything. Some of the stuff is barrell aged and expensive but worth it. We also loved their taco offerings which includes some fun vegetarian options like like spicy fried mushrooms and fried avocado as well as our first ever bison meat taco along with mahi mahi, chicken tinga, and carne asada. We did not expect it but it may be the best tacos we've had. We had their seasonal strawberry margarita which may have been the best margaritas we have had along with an excellent local rose wine. Ambiance is nice and upscale for a brewery and our service at the bar was very quick and some of the most attentive we have had. We certainly look forward to returning.

The place was packed on a Friday evening and we eventually got two seats at the bar with the help of a friendly patron. The place is large, loud and lively. One of the side rooms is weirdly as bright as a school room. Speaking of weird this brewery is located in the back of an office park... The staff was friendly and hustling. I must say most of their beers are not my favorite. Too many sours and other beers that feel like they are trying too hard to be exotic. I tried their Shore pilsner and even that was a bit odd. I like lighter beers like pilsners, kolsches and hefeweizens so if I lived here I would try some of their non-beer options because I would be back for the food.

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!

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.

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.

So this review is going to be short and sweet, but with one VERY important note. Those of you who…read moreread my reviews know I typically review either really good or really "not so good" restaurants. I'm breaking my own rules, because I feel the 3.9 rating is pretty accurate, with one 5 star + exception. This was a business lunch and a convenient location so there we were. The duck fries as an appetizer were good but needed to be seasoned with a little more salt. I had a strawberry salad with some grilled chicken that was good with the greens, but dry as the desert with the chicken and borderline inedible. Here's the twist!!! My two compadres both had the grilled cheese and lobster sandwich. They both looked at me sheepishly and said, you f ed up!!! William was kind enough to break off a substantial bite and let me try it. Angels sang, children wept, and I almost passed out! It was the kind of perfection we all agreed we would have eaten 5, maybe 6 of these unnaturally awesome sandwiches until we passed out! 3.5 Star service, 4 Star ambience, and some 10 Star bites! Cheers, JimG

The staff are nice, but service and the kitchen seemed a bit slow on a Sunday early afternoon towards the very end of brunch despite the area we were seated only had a few tables filled. The Crab Cake Eggs Benedict was nothing special - feeling like a flat, single-note dish.. Perhaps it was that the hollandaise sauce lacked the acidity (usually from lemon juice) to brighten the dish. Or, that the nod to Maryland - the Old Bay honey - drizzled around the edges of the dish wasn't enough to elevate it to something that is savored with each bite. The Fluffernutter Blondie is a good dessert choice if you love blondies and peanut butter. Although, it was a bit drier than I'd like, the texture was still soft.

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.

We ordered 2 beers, one came out after 5 minutes, the other after 25 minutes. The food was meh at best. First, we waited for almost 40 minutes for it. Then, it was all dry like it had sat under a heat lamp for half an hour. Very disappointing. We heard one of the staff get schooled because another customer just got up and left when no one ever approached his table. Oh, then there's the music. Death metal at 1:00 on a Sunday afternoon? Really? We won't be back. Don't waste your time.

Take out is quite easy with food awaiting at the greeting desk. The crab dip is unique and quite delish. Served with garlic knots, the crab dip is baked together in a cast iron skillet and finished with melted parmesan. I've had several dishes which are delightful. The Cajun Chicken & Shrimp Pasta is a wonderful combo of blackened chicken and shrimp, pasta and Nawlins cream sauce. For more NOLA yummies, the Louisiana Red Jambalaya is sautéed chicken and shrimp with Andouille sausage and jasmine rice. The Shrimp and Grits envelope andouille sausage, smoked bacon, blistered cherry tomatoes, and sherry cream for a comforting Louisiana dish. The Mushroom Rissoto is portobello, shiitake, and cremini mushrooms tossed with truffle oil, topped with crispy fried shallots and grated parmesan. Lastly, I can recommend the Southern Chicken Piccata which is topped with lemon butter, cherry tomatoes, garlic and capers. Roasted potatoes and arugula salad are on the side. For desert, the cookie sundae is nothing more than a big chocolate chip cookie, with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate-caramel sauce. But simple things are the best. Perfect for splitting. Give 'em a try and you'll be back again and again and again!
