14+% higher price charged than their live online menu from their own web page.
Matt H.

Ambiance - overlit and sterile for a brewpub, in my opinion. Food - salty. So salty, in fact, that I lost my appetite for dessert. My chowder was pretty salty, but my burger's saltiness hit me like a ton of bricks and made me actually feel bad afterward. I'm sure the fact that I got it without a bun also made it worse. Prices - High, and I was charged 14+% more than the live menu straight from their website home page for my burger. Service - Server did not accommodate me by matching the online menu prices. Seemed annoyed that I even mentioned it. I picked out my choice online before I arrived.

Best Blackened Chicken Wrap I've ever had. I can still taste the spices. I would like the recipe. The price was beyond reasonable also. Beautiful view of Big Lake too.

Pretzel Bites
Allison C.

I was so surprised at how spacious it is inside. Geeat comfy place to hang out. Had fabulous service. Started with the Pretzel Bites, which were smaller than I thought (6 pieces) at first... but then you taste the cheese and get transported to HEAVEN!! The cheese was TO DIE FOR. So much so I ordered a side to go with my hamburger haha. Burgers were delicious. Especially once I asked for an extra side of that beer cheese after I ordered it without normal cheese basically the beer cheese is perfection. Will be back!

Hamburger and fries

Heard good things, so I was disappointed. First was sat at a dirty table (we didn't actually sit at it, but the hostess walked away, so we just waited for the waitress). Sat down, ordered our drinks, which one came, one didn't, so I had to get up again to get my own drink. Ordered a burger with no onions, it came with onions, and on a plate so small you couldn't really put them to the side. Burger was dry and no condiments on it. Prob won't be back.

First off the view is to die for. Great little brewery in Big Lake. Ordered the cobb salad and it was ok...would prefer to not have to scrape black olives off but that's just me but then again, I would rather come here for the lake views!

French martini!

EDIT- upped to five stars because I tried the pizza. Moose's Tooth who????…read more Also - the gochujang wings were excellent. Not too spicy!! Best chicken wing I've ever had. Yes, I got wings at a wood fire pizza place - and boy, am I glad I did. We did the garlic Parmesan and the sweet heat wings. I don't know what magic they do to get the skin so crispy and bubbly, but I'm happy they figured it out! It's like popcorn, so light and airy. And even sauced, the crispy texture didn't end! We took half our wings home to Anchorage and even after the microwave a few hours later - still crispy. We also shared a Greek salad that was delicious, fully loaded, and so big we both ate off it and still had leftovers!!!

Driving around all day and it was starting to get late....and we were getting hungry! We asked a…read morelocal at one of the museums where he loved to eat and he recommended this place. We told him that we just wanted good food with a chill, laid-back vibe where we could just eat and hang without being pressured to leave quickly. We stopped by and it was busy. Parking is right in the front and lots of spaces available. There was indoor and outdoor tables and luckily we found a booth. The menu is simple and straight forward. You place your order first and then take a seat. My friend and I decided to share a pizza, we couldn't decide and we got half and half, Pear bacon bleu and Greek. I also ordered a ginger ale. So I don't know why my friend decided to share a pizza with me, maybe we were both tired, or she was sooo hungry that she couldn't make any other choice but it was surprising because pizza is not really her thing. When we were ordering, I didn't think anything of it, but as we were eating and basically almost done she said, "You know what, I would come back and have their pizza, that was the best pizza ever!!" No argument from me...both half of the pizzas were so good. It was the right combo. The pear bacon bleu was almost like a dessert pizza but still very savory with the bacon bits. We were both hungry and the pizza size was perfect and filled us both. I never did ask, but do they make their own ginger ale? It didn't taste like any other of the Ginger ales that I've had in other places. This was flavorful and very carbonated. The whole meal was perfect! Wood fired pizzas are something special since not a lot of places make pizzas this way but even better when done right. I highly recommend this place!

Their lager was outstanding and the Hefe was very good. Service was awesome. So a guy walks by with a cheesesteak. Smelled great. I said where did you get that ? He says the food truck on the side of the building. He added that it was the best he has ever had. Being from Philly, I was skeptical. So on the way out, my wife and I decide to give it a try. We order, and I say to the owner, you know, the key to a Philly cheesesteak is the Amaroso rolls. He pulls down the bag if rolls, and they are Amaroso rolls. I'm stunned. Never thought I would see this in Alaska. I just finished my cheesesteak 5 minutes ago. Run to Odd Man Rush brewery and have a beer and a cheesesteak. Mammoth Cheesesteak Co. is only there on Thursdays and Fridays. I'll be there tomorrow.

There's a great comfy vibe when you walk through the door. Seating on the main floor and also upstairs, along with a room for events. A friend of ours in a band has played there before as well, which he said he always enjoys. We had cocktails from the event so didn't get to try their beer. One of the local food trucks was outside and several people were partaking as well! I definitely look forward to going again!

Everything was priced relative well. Not too expensive and not super cheap either. The bacon caramelized onion Brussel sprouts were so delicious. Straight 10/10, I would absolutely recommend. The steak was average so so. Vegetables of course do get a cold as you eat. Mashed potatoes were delicious but also average. The glacier spiked lemonade was okay. The drink wasn't too strong and had a good flavor. Wasn't anything special considering the name.

Our table started off with the brussel sprouts appetizer which was PHENOMENAL. I ordered the 2025 stout for a beer and it was very tasty. For our mains the entire table got halibut fish and chips and my son opted for the ranch pizza. The pizza was really good. The only downfall is the dish was overcooked but overall still very tasty. Our server was great and attentive. It seems to be one of the best restaurants in the area to dine. It's VERY busy so I do recommend a reservation. It has a cool brewhouse vibe to it. I don't think anyone would be disappointed dining here.
