    Buffalo chicken pizza
    Megan V.

    Awesome brewery! I'm sad we never noticed it the last few years, but thankfully on a failed attempt to eat at Fabio on Fire we stumbled upon Richter Aleworks! I did a flight with the seltzers, wheat, and blonde ale. My husband had the English Ale and said it was okay. The seltzers were delightful! Lacking in carbonation which was honestly a wonderful surprise! Add some vodka to the seltzer and you'll have a WONDERFUL pool cocktail! We also shared the Buffalo chicken pizza which was tasty but lacked a sufficient amount of chicken and Buffalo sauce to justify $15 for a pizza.

    This brewery has the best rotating options for all drinkers. Gluten free options, great IPA's, smooth stouts and mouth watering pizza with the best crust i've had in a while. The service is awesome & the guys can hang for real. Always have the games on the tv and a boppin playlist. TRY THEM OUT whenever you're in the area. Richter is where it's at:)

    Been spending the last year going around and trying all the local breweries! Fun times. Beer flights is what I suggest if you aren't sure what to try. Many breweries love talking about their beer and will give samples in many cases. This place doesn't seem like they want to chat with their guests and educate on what they brew. No biggie - with flights you can figure it out yourself. They had some solid beer, but nothing that knocked my socks off. I love the decor and the tap handles are cool. I'd pop in again if in the area, but too many other breweries around to make much effort.

    We love to come and get some beer and hang out. They have a nice outdoor patio with sun or shade. The beer is great. Follow them on FB to see food trucks and pizza nights!

    Been coming here for a while and owe this awesome place a review. By far my favorite brewery in the Northwest Peoria area. Beers are always on point and always hit the spot for many styles and their seltzers (yes they have their own seltzers) have now hit a point where those who aren't fans of beer LOVE their seltzers! Not super gassy and over carbonated so they drink and finish well. Food truck Fridays!!!! They have some of the best food trucks on Fridays. When they don't have food trucks, their in-house "Cade's Pizza Kitchen" is crazy delicious and always evolving. Great place! Support your local small business!

    If I could give a million stars I would. How often do you find great taprooms with good bar food? With 13 taps of excellent Arizona craft beer and a little more than half being their own you can't go wrong stopping in here. If you want a snack try the jalapeño poppers, they are excellent.

    I noticed you deleted all your responses.

    This place is alright. It's a brewery but only two beers were theirs, and the bar tender pretended that they all were? The staff greeted us and then didn't pay much attention the rest of the time. Considering I work in the beer industry and was looking to get some kegs distributed, they didn't make a great impression at all. The other beers they had on tap were awesome. Theirs were alright. One tasted like Sculpin and the other was okay. Edit: Considering the condescending and unprofessional response I got from this review, here's a tip. A little training in hospitality and customer service goes a long way. Responses to criticism are not how you build your business. If a trip to California will help employees be more engaging and helpful in answering questions then by all means please stop by. Any form of criticism clearly does not go over well with your business so hopefully nobody else who walks through your doors is as unsatisfied or they'll really be given a reason to stay away. By the way, you really have no place to comment on unprofessionalism after your response. You're running a business, not being caddy to another girl in your high school class. P. S. Thank you for publicly showing how professional you are. I'm assuming you're the woman that stood at the end of bar, wearing cat ears, the entire 45 minutes we were there. Considering you said all of 2 things to us and the entirety of our visit was spent trying to ask questions to the younger gentleman behind the bar, I don't see how your nasty remarks are warranted. Please continue to act this way on a site where are trying to promote your business. I wish you the best of luck because it looks like you desperately need it. By the way, I never actually said I didn't like your beer. We just didn't find it very impressionable. Cheers.

    My first visit to Throne Brewing was for a late lunch. It was not busy so I can't really rate the…read moreservice, other than they were friendly. I was surprised that they only had three of their own brews on tap (there went the 5th star) but there was a large selection of craft brews and our choices were very good. I got the house bratwurst with kraut and it was excellent! Tastiest brat I've had in years. The side of fries was also great - crispy with a light batter coating. There are a lot of pinball machines and signs for tournaments so it probably gets loud in the evenings. I'll certainly be back for lunch.

    Walking into this place feels like stepping into your own neighborhood version of Cheers--the kind…read moreof spot where the bartenders actually know your name, your drink, and probably your story too. There's a genuine, laid-back energy here that you just can't fake, and it makes every visit feel like you're hanging out with friends rather than just grabbing a beer. A huge part of that comes from the people. Tiffany, the owner, has clearly built something special here--there's intention behind everything, and it shows. Deidra behind the bar is always attentive, on top of it, and great to talk to--she makes you feel taken care of without ever being over the top. And then there's Kyle...absolute character in the best way. The kind of bartender that brings personality to the place and makes every visit a little more memorable. The beer lineup is outstanding. Their in-house brews are dialed in, and if you know craft beer, you'll appreciate seeing things like Drekker sours on the guest tap list--hard to find and always a hit. And their Trick of the Light IPA from Throne? Absolute standout--crisp, balanced, and dangerously easy to keep going back for another. The food deserves just as much attention. The burgers are legit--juicy, flavorful, and cooked right every time. The sliders are perfect if you want to mix and match or just not commit to one thing, and the onion rings are next level--crispy, golden, and honestly some of the best you'll find anywhere. What really sets this place apart, though, is how unique it is to the area. It's not just another brewery--it's a true community spot. Places like this are rare, and they only stick around if people show up and support them. If you appreciate great beer, great food, and even better people, this is one of those spots you want to keep coming back to.

I had the dry Irish stout and it was outstanding. The host thoughtfully asked if I preferred a high top or a low top table before seating my party. Very thoughtful. Our server was Vanessa. She gets her own paragraph. Friendly, attentive, detailed, responsive, engaging -- clearly in the zone and was very happy to be there. I work in customer service. I know what it's like to have good people. Vanessa is exceptional. The food was great. We got a couple of burgers. Tasty. I had the onion rings with mine -- a very generous portion and also tasty. Music volume was at a tasteful level. It was present but didn't get in the way of conversations. Much appreciated.

    Chose to come here for dinner with friends…read more Chillax vibe. Host was very friendly and we made it for Trivia Tuesday!!!!! Our server was very attentive and checked on us eer so often. We all got beers. They have rotating craft beers and on this trip, they had a selection of 12. My colleagues got strawberry Bitch and I got the nitro blonde honey ale called Show your Stripes. We ordered the jalapeko Bomber Dip to start - it came with 3 pieces of toasted baguette and chips. This dip is delicious - nicely spiced. Our entrees were delicious as well. One friend got the biria dip- half portion with cheese curds, the other friend got holy yum burger with cheese curds. I got the thai chicken sando with sweet potato waffle fries. Chicken was suitably spiced and tender. Pickled onions were delicious paired with the carrots and sauce. Ooo n the waffle fries- crispy and delicious. It stayed crispy for very long too. Even though we couldnt eat anothet bite. - we challenged ourselves further with donuts lol And boy were we glad we did! Crispy tender lightly dusted with cinnamon and sugar. And cane with hot fudge and vanilla glaze on the side!! And to top it off, the sunset trivia!!! It was fun!! We love this! Unfortunately, since we are from out of town. Id say we will be back when we are in this area. 5 STARS!!!!

If it's your first visit, the AZ Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich is an absolute must. It's perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor in every bite. One of my favorite traditions is stopping by after work on Thursdays to take advantage of the $5 IPA special. It's the perfect way to unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy some of Arizona's finest locally crafted beer. Whether you're there for the food, the beer, or the lively patio atmosphere, Arizona Wilderness never disappoints. If you're in the neighborhood--or even if you're not--it's well worth the visit. Highly recommended!

    Came back after seeing the soft serve margaritas on all socials--on Mondays they have half off…read morecocktails all day. Made the long drive from Gilbert to see what the hype was about and let me say....that soft serve was WORTH IT! I got the swirl and it was soooooo refreshing and delicious. I have seen people comment that they were too strong (I don't see the problem or maybe some people don't really like tequila) but mine was perfect! Not strong at all. The only reason I didn't give this updated review a 5-I ordered the banh mi sando and the sandwich was so dry. Chicken was dry. The cilantro wasn't chopped I had to pick out long stems. Also I got the AZ frosè and the rosemary syrup was just way too pungent to enjoy the whole beverage. I wished it had been more balanced. Especially when the French fries are heavily seasoned with rosemary--a bit too much.
