    Minimum Day Raw Beer
    Nicholas B.

    Been here twice now for the trivia nights! We love it! Great beer, good food trucks, and it's a really pretty spot! The atmosphere is kid and animal friendly and also host some great events! Highly recommend!

    SAFETY ROUND
    Daniel C.

    Side hustle has to be one of my favorite local breweries. They have a constant rotation of incredible beers. I love always trying new styles they come out with. They have live music, food trucks and a super friendly staff. They even have a really amazing non alcoholic hop water called safety round for those friends who don't drink. I think they said something like they are third best brewery in Lodi but they are number one in my book! If you haven't checked them out you need to ASAP you will not be disappointed.

    Great beer, good vibes and awesome people. We like to come and get a bite to eat from the local food trucks. Bonus points for being dog friendly too!

    Price for the flights and singles are definitely worth it. They had live music and there are some games you can grab to play. Good for small groups or solo. They happened to have a pop up for a bbq place there but I think they rotate pop ups of people with food. Either way would come back good vibes

    While I'm not there every Friday like a "former" customer, this brewery has been a place for my family to enjoy a brew, some pizza and good vibes over the years. It supports my cousins business every Friday (check out Pizza Party 209) and other local businesses and artists. They have a great variety of beers that we love to try out. They have the most attentive staff and to no one's surprise, they welcome everyone in with a smile. This is the kind of atmosphere Lodi and the Central Valley have needed and we're happy to continue celebrating it!

    We stumbled onto this place looking for a dog friendly brewery and we were soooooo happy!! The wine I had was delicious, and my hubby enjoyed the Hustle Juice and Trophy Wife beets. We look forward to coming again! ( and so does our doggie).

    Deep breath...sigh...Sooo...many years ago I got into it just a little bit with Rick (Riaza tasting room downtown.) Ended up crossing them off our list. A couple weeks ago I discovered Side Hustle Brew was in existence. Since I am not looking for a new best friend and being a beer kind of person, I decided to give them a go anyway...just looking for some good suds...Great-Great decision. First off they are making some really good beers. We went through several taster glasses and a few pints. The awesome lady running the place is great. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and gave us a couple sips so we could get oriented. Things I liked...the beer, the glasses, the logo (okay, I am a nerd graphics guy), the vibe and the friendly peeps we met who were also enjoying a pint or two. The tasters at $2 are an incredible go...for $10 you get a good taste of five brews. Great experience. No food but they do rotate food trucks on prem and allow you to bring food in. Thumbs up! Nice outdoor space when weather permits. They have made it to my top two list here in Lodi. Gave me a menu which I hung from the activity board in our short term rental property. Only possible negative was the indoor space is a bit noisy but hey, it's a party place...right. Nice bar, tables and high-tops to choose from and get comfortable. Interesting little table games to keep you occupied as well. We liked it so much we came back...with a friend in tow. Beers are made in small batches so if you like variety/new beers and fresh beer, Side Hustle is your place. They have a membership club where you get some benni's including ability to purchase a special brew. Currently Snort & Rally which is almost worth joining the club for. Since they are part of/partnered with Riaza Wines, your group can enjoy both beer and wine at the same table. Grab a taco from out back and y'all are good to go. They are a little hard to spot as you head to Costco, but worth slowing down and looking for. As for my issue with Rick, I don't remember all the details, doubt if he does either and only a real loser-moron would hold a grudge for 20 years...So Cheers Rick! Best to you and your team...See you again!

    We had a great visit to Side Hustle Brewery for Father's Day! FYI, they are kid friendly! We got there right @1 when they opened. When you park in the parking lot, it looks like you're in the qwrong place, but you're not! There is a side gate to access the property. The inside area is open with a lot of seating, and their outside area is nice. There is a covered portion and uncovered. They didn't have a food truck this day, so we brought in snacks which was awesome! They offer beer by the glass or you can do a flight of beer tasters. They also have wine flights or by the glass/bottle. They service was great, and I wish we had gotten the nice employees name but she was super helpful and knew all about the beers and wine she was serving.

    Get the flight, leave with a growler, get a bottle of red wine, and you'll be happy! One of the more inclusive places to imbibe and retrieve tasty snacks from a nearby taco truck or guest vendor :)

The owners remember your name, your usual order, and greet you like you've been coming there for years--even if you haven't. You pull up thinking you're just grabbing a quick bite, and next thing you know you're laughing, talking about your week, and wondering how a food truck just outdid most sit-down restaurants in customer service. They're running a full kitchen out of a truck and still make time to treat every person like a regular. Great food, great people, and an all-around good vibe. I recommend the steak sandwich, the Super Sammy Special. Honestly, give it some time and it'll probably be renamed the Jason Special J/K. 100% recommend. Just don't be surprised if you leave in a better mood than you showed up with.

While everything on the menu sounded great, I was really just in a munchie mood and decided to order just fries. The staff were super accommodating and graciously gave me one of each sauce to try, which I really appreciated. The ordering process was easy, and as promised when I placed my order, the fries were ready within a few minutes, sauces and all. For $6, I was happy with the size of my order. The sauces were also unique and I enjoyed alternating between them for a different experience each bite. My favorites were the Caesar and the spicy ketchup. My coworkers said they liked their orders as well. The garlic fries looked and smelled amazing but I didn't want garlicky breath for the rest of the conference, so I'll have to try those next time!

This burrito was the best thing I had ever tasted. It was so good, every day after that, anytime I was eating, I was just wishing it was that burrito. At one point I actually wished that I could un-taste it. Because now everything else just seemed flavorless, or lacking in comparison. It ruined all other food for me. It was easier not remembering how good it was, since I'm sure it's not very healthy and I would be better not knowing. That was until last night. I finally gave in and decided I would get it again. I hadn't eaten all day so I was actually starting to feel nauseated from being so hungry. I went around 9:00pm. Ordered the same exact thing. The woman who took my order was friendly, and my order was ready surprisingly fast! I grabbed my food, went home, turned on a movie, and started digging in to what I had waited so long for, and thought so much about. I ate about 1/5 of the burrito before I started thinking it tasted kind of funny... I couldn't figure out what it was, but something was wrong with it. I kept eating it and decided I recognized what it tasted like- fish! I do like seafood, so I just figured, maybe they just finished making some fish, and didn't clean the grill off well enough before making mine. I wasn't sure if I was crazy, or if it really tasted like fish. So, I asked my boyfriend to take a bite and tell me if it tasted fishy to him. He took a bite and said "that's fish they accidentally gave you fish instead" and went and spit out the bite in the trash. Well, I looked up the menu, and it turns out, they don't even serve any fish or seafood! I googled why my burrito might taste like fish, and it said rancid meat. Anyways- I'm really, really disappointed. Because last week was the best burrito I have had in my life, whereas last night was the worst. It's quite a gamble.

I finally had to post about it because there's literally no way to look them up unless you've got their business card tucked in your glove box. It's that kind of local secret. They're pretty quick but when they're busy, it's a wait. I wanted to call them the other day so I could go in and out and couldn't find her business card in my glove box. Also, they only take cash. Let's talk about the sopes -- these things are unreal. Thick, fresh masa with perfectly crisp edges, loaded with your choice of meat, beans, fresh toppings, and that house-made salsa that hits just right. Nowhere else in town makes sopes. Then there's the mulitas -- a must-try, especially with al pastor or carnitas. Crispy, cheesy, meaty heaven stacked between tortillas. They don't hold back on flavor. And of course, the classics: the carne asada is juicy and full of chargrilled flavor, and the birria is rich, tender, and perfect whether you get it in tacos or on its own. La Fondita may not have a flashy online presence, but that's part of the charm. It's authentic, consistent, and always delicious. This truck is a staple in the community, and once you try it, you'll be hooked. If you stumble upon it -- consider yourself lucky.
