Rusty Axe Brewing - Brewpubs Near Me - Lufkin, Texas

Best thing that has happened to this small ETX city. Service is always amazing and the selection of beer and food is good. I've been several times and never have been disappointed when I'm in town. read more

I'm not a big foo foo food person but these place has a decent pizza and Burger. I would have gave it 5 stars but the pizza pushed the foo foo line by going overboard with lettuce and the garlic aioli drizzle on top. The fries were excellent with the burger. read more

Rusty Axe Brewing - BLT Pizza - Brewpubs Near Me - Lufkin, Texas

This is hands down the best place to eat in Lufkin, with some great beer to boot. Chef Doug is the man, and someone you can tell really cares about the food he puts out as well as the customer's experience. Will be coming back every time I'm in town. 5/5 stars- no notes. read more

Really like the food. They rotate their pizzas on occasion, so I don't always get the one that I want. However, i have never been disappointed with what i have ordered. I prefer to go on slow days. Good food, good service, decent atmosphere on slow days. read more

Delicious food and fun atmosphere! The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich was *chef's kiss*! Will definitely be back!

Nice atmosphere. Laid back. Servers are always attentive. Food is always fresh and delicious. This is my go-to restaurant when someone is visiting out of town or for a girls night. read more

Rusty Axe Brewing - Brunch Chicken and waffles - Brewpubs Near Me - Lufkin, Texas

See all

My wife and I ate here a few weeks back. When dining in a small town, one tends to temper expectations... not being a snob here, I've always lived in small towns, so I know them and their typical dining quality. That said, the experience here far exceeded. The food, drink, service, and atmosphere were all first rate. They are without peer in the community. We visited on a Saturday and had planned to return on Sunday, but, unfortunately for us, they were closed. read more

Me & my wife love the rusty axe it's one of our favorite places to have date night they have friendly staff, great food, and great drinks

Burger was great service very friendly and especially nice to my dog gave her several treats

Don't miss out on the Rusty Ax Brewing Company in Lufkin, Texas. They serve superb local homebrews, and their fire-baked pizzas are a delicious and unique treat. It's a must-visit spot for beer and food aficionados alike! read more

A new spot in downtown Lufkin and its GREAT!! I cant imagine how much work they put into remodeling the interior of this old building, but its got some awesome internal design. I really loved the truffle and mushroom pizza, but everyone at the table enjoyed their respective dishes as well! read more

We enjoyed lunch here recently and both our meals were delicious. I had a crawfish poboy and my wife had a hamburger made with Kagyu beef. We both enjoyed the parmesan fries. read more

I've been to many breweries, all over the country. This place has not only amazing beer - great, original recipes - but food worth the drive. We live an hour away and will be back, again and again. We had the shrimp appetizer and steaks (filet special and the steak frites). Everything was perfect - even the green bean sides and the bearnaise sauce in the filet. I lost track of the exact beers we had, but the Kumo... stout was great (husband liked it and he doesn't like beer) and the Gator Drool was a wonderful brown ale. Worth the trip, wherever you are. read more

Rusty Axe is the best brewery/pub around. The beer is awesome & the food is great! I only wish they could extend their hours. read more

Very nice place and great brew on tap. Very helpful and nice staff. Had a really nice time and it wasn't too loud.

The food was delicious! The service was excellent as well as beautiful setting. We enjoyed the restaurant immensely.

My wife and I are somewhat new to the area and we're looking for a relaxing place to have some food and a couple drinks. Rusty Axe did not disappoint. The staff was great, the food amazing, and the beer fantastic. We met some other nice people there who also gave us recommendations for other places in Lufkin, that we also tried out and loved. We really enjoy Lufkin and definitely enjoy the Rusty Axe. We will definitely go back! read more

Ignorance is not an excuse! Especially from leadership (Beau) at this establishment, further education is required on the law and ADA.gov. Extremely disappointing to be turned away from dining indoors (by both Bartenders and the manager on site Beau). Beau Proclaimed "the local health dept does not allow us to have service animals indoors because of their open kitchen"; that is absurd, untrue, and illegal. Service animals can NOT be turned away by law. Let it be known to veterans or anyone with service animals; you are not welcome here. read more

Traveling thru and googled best place for pizza. This place was recommended. It was 9pm when we arrived. Super excited the place looked awesome. We walked in - was told kitchen closed at 9. Hours are until 11. I would have seated us since we were there at 9 maybe even a few minutes before. I can't say if it was good or not. I do know maybe change up your post to state kitchen closes at 9 even on a Friday read more

Excellent service. Great food! A wide variety of wine and beer choices. You must try the Caesar salad with cornbread croutons! Pizza was delicious. read more

Great Brewery with a good atmosphere, friendly service, great food and beer! I've had the hot chicken sandwich and the wagyu burger, both very good! read more

The staff is very friendly, and they offer a great selection and beer flights. I got a bulgogi pizza that didn't taste anything like bulgogi though, and one of our plates had a completely white piece of fat on it instead of a piece of bacon, so that was odd. I'd definitely go back and try some of the other menu items though. It's a charming pub. read more

Not even sure about the food yet because it's taken 40 min to even get our pizza. Eggs are bland. Beer good. But service staff is nice but dang the kitchen is slow. Not sure we will ever come back. Never mind we were told 15-20 more min so we walked out. Don't go here. read more

House brewed beer is phenomenal and the hot chicken sandwich is the best around! Go home Houston Hot Chicken! Definitely would recommend Rusty Axe to anyone. read more

One of the best pizzas I have ever had.very nice people and they are never mean. and this place has a good location trust me you should go here. read more

The food and the service was great! The place was packed and our server did a great job taking care of us.

Great place to relax and eat and have a beer. The service is good with friendly staff.

Review for their October Fest 2023. Poor execution, one person taking your beer order and payment makes for a long hot line, food left much to be desired bratwurst not cooked well and paired with stale French bread. read more

The food is delicious & service is impeccable. Very nice atmosphere. Good wine selection for us non beer drinkers. A great addition to our downtown area. read more

Came to Lufkin for the afternoon and had an awesome experience. Service by Chandler was amazing and all our menu questions got answered right away. Had a sampler tray of beer-really liked the Tomahawk Amber and the Blarney Red. We shared an amazing goat cheese salad and the bison meatloaf. Everything was great read more

We have been waiting for the Rusty Ax Brewing Company to open. Wow, worth the wait. We tried a few times to visit but always hit it at the wrong time. Now that are a bit established and hours are more certain, we decided to give it a try. Very well worth the wait. Atmosphere was very well done. The restaurant was pleasing to the eye, music was to our liking. Our waitress was Kathy. Since this was our first time, she gave us plenty of time to order and even made suggestions that were totally right on. I had the mushroom pizza (one of the best pizzas that I have ever tasted), my wife had the Waygu Burger, and my mother in law had the campfire salmon. All our meals were top of the line. We topped our meals off with bread pudding which was also very good. Overall, Lufkin has been needing a restaurant like this. Kathy also made these visit a very memorable one and we will certainly return. read more
