I came here for my birthday on 7/17 and I enjoyed everything, from the soft serve margs to the food to the customer service (which was my fav) everyone here is so kind and hardworking. I've never been to a brewery that had such great service and kind people working, amazing. No notes. Thank you guys again for being so accommodating with the reservations for my bday and everything else! There was even live music! I love Thompson and will definitely be back ever soon :) read more

Thompson Brewery has wonderful employees and owners. Good vibes, good beer, good food, good music = GREAT TIMES! Hubby and I had a wonderful time here and would most definitely recommend trying them out! read more

Atmosphere is nice with plenty of TVs and seating, that's the end of the positive. They're so slow in general, BUT they're very nice so that's probably why. I love trying sours from different breweries so my girl and I got their 2 sours, they were gross and flat. The honey blonde and Irish red were better but still weren't great. We ordered the game day platter and it was disgusting, the chicken strips were the worst chicken strips I ever had, felt like fake chicken and you can see in the picture. Mozzarella sticks were definitely frozen and heated, fries straight out of a bag and over fried, chips salty as the sea and straight from a corner store, sliders were the only thing edible but even those were as basic as it gets with more bread than anything. read more

Everything about this place is a green flag! Food: Quality is top tier. Everything is good but my favorite is anything with their fried chicken and their hot mess sauce - my goto is their hot mess mac and cheese with all the extra sauces. I am obsessed with their homemade sauces.. hot mess ofcourse, garlic aioli, white bbq, and their house ranch are my faves.. don't ask me to only choose one. I don't really drink so I haven't tried their craft beers but they have a wide selection, flights, and togo inventory. I have no pictures because I couldn't help myself. Service: Again, quality is top tier. The staff is fabulous, consistently kind and they are why the place feels warm but exciting. Environment: Love the atmosphere here! They have fun events like movie night, crafting activities, and games (board and group). The most available seating is upstairs and the patio but they also have some seating on the first floor where you order. Parking is good. The establishment is a unit out of a larger building so parking is shared with other businesses but I have never had an issue with parking and I have come here many times at various times. Overall 15/10. Just come here and eat their yummy food and be happy that you listened to this review. Thank you Thompson Brewing, I hope you reign forever. read more

Great vibes here. I got a half and half margarita soft serve and it was so refreshing. I got a burger as my meal and I liked it more than I expected. Very juicy and flavorful. The seating can be a bit crowded and warm. Our servers were friendly as well. read more

Thompson Brewing knows how to please its customers. They do this through outstanding customer service and quick service. Not to mention, they also have insanely good food and beer! Their food menu is extensive for a Brewery and can't go wrong with anything you order from here. I ordered their Cali Burrito and Honey Blonde Lager. I also ordered Tropical Flight. EVERYTHING was top notch and delicious. Inside they have seating everywhere. They have first floor seating, second floor and outside patio seating. Lines can get long but like i said. Service is QUICK! It's a shame this place is far away from me. But i'm definitely coming back to this place over the summer! Y'all need to check out Thompson Brewing! If I'm not mistaken, it's a family-owned business too. read more

went to Thompson Brewing Company and overall had a good experience. The BBQ nachos and flight slushies were really good and definitely my favorite part. A couple things could've been better the mac and cheese was a little mild on flavor, and the brisket portion felt a bit small. The place was super clean and had a great setup, though I wish more of the outdoor heaters were on since it got a little chilly. read more

First time here. First off, Wendy is AMAZING! Secondly, one of the owners "Mom" greeted everyone at the door, super cute! It's a dog and kid friendly place, they have their own menus! I ordered the deal and upgraded to the truffle fries and added bacon, they forgot my cookie that came with the deal but I totally forgot plus I was soooo full! My friends said their beer and sangria were really good. Wendy shared her secret jalapeño cheese sauce and we highly recommend!! The truffle aioli and the spicy bbq sauce were also really good!! I'll definitely be coming back! read more

My partner and I have been here twice now. They have a great Groupon deal. I like the food they serve, good comfort food like burgers. The beers are all pretty solid. They have a good selection of styles. They even have some fun boozy slushies to try as well. They have indoor seating as well as outdoor picnic style benches out back. The staff are the real stars of the show though, theyre so friendly and helpful. They seem to really enjoy working there! read more

I had the maple chipotle chicken sandwich and it was great! Tasted like honey chipotle chicken crispers from Chili's if you have ever had those! Service was good but could be better. They only had 1-2 servers and it took about 25 min to get my food after I ordered. Ambience was cool. There's a bunch of lunch tables with umbrellas and lights outside for a lot of people. There was a live band doing covers for arctic monkeys and blur. read more

Thompson Brewing Company is a bit of a hidden spot, you wouldn't really know it's there, and from the outside it kind of looks like a hole in the wall. When you walk in, it's a little surprising at first because it almost feels like you've stepped into an office. Then you notice the ordering counter and realize where you are. The seating is unique. You walk through the back to what feels like a warehouse area with just a couple of tables, which can be a bit off-putting because my 4 year old wanted to run around and touch EVERYTHING. We couldn't sit on the patio because it was raining, but it looks like it would be nice on a clear day. The best seating is definitely upstairs, where they have long tables, arcade and board games you can check out from the front desk. That area really changes the whole vibe. The service was amazing and one of the highlights of the visit. The ambiance upstairs feels lively and fun, it genuinely feels like a party and is very family-friendly. As for the food, this is where it lands at three stars. The brisket was dry and didn't have much flavor, and while the pulled pork nachos were better, that was mostly because of the sauce. The meat itself fell a little flat for barbecue. That said, it could've been because we came later in the day, and the brisket may have been sitting for a while. I'd definitely be open to giving the food another try and ordering different items. The french fries were really good, and the nacho chips themselves were super solid, which makes me think other menu items might be better choices. Overall, while the barbecue meat didn't hit for me this time, the great service, fun games, family-friendly atmosphere, and lively energy make this a place I'd come back to and try again. read more

Hosted a work event here and it was nothing short of amazing! Communication was easy and better than most places I have dealt with and I plan a lot of events for work. They reserved a space for my group in the back patio and even followed up with me as the date got closer without being prompted. Food was better than I expected and I loved how they have so many other drink options other than beer and they have kid friendly areas as well which is helpful to us parents, and for me that day a working parent who brought her kid to the event! Will definitely be back when I'm NOT on the clock. read more

Horrible quality of food, too expensive for the quality given. School lunch Cafeteria food at best. Been here a few times now and everytime the quality of the food and beer is mid tier at best. The prices have gone up but the quality of food has not. We paid almost $100 expecting some quality food and drinks but we got none of that. read more

I was excited to come here to try the frozen drinks and they were delicious! I absolutely loved the flavors we went with! We got a peach and a mango one! You order and pay first and the food is brought to your table. They also have a line that you can hop in, if you are just ordering drinks and no food. They do ask if you want to keep a tab open. The cashier was so kind and informative! Everyone we spoke with who worked there was friendly! So they have seating outside and seating upstairs! There was a lady singing outside and it was packed for a Saturday night. We were able to find seating. I would say it is a bit tight if you are coming with a stroller. If you sit outside towards the back, that seating can accommodate a stroller. I would suggest walking around the building and meeting everyone out there and not going through the building to get to the outside if you have a stroller. They had a big screen playing the World Cup in the semi outside/inside area. The tables are large and good for big groups. The food was delicious! read more

Food and service were great. I ordered The veggie burger and strawberry splash mocktail. Burger was declined and came w/ fries. It had good savory flavor. Not too dry. The drink was sweet and tasted similar to a Shirley temple. Would recommend both! Ambiance was very spacious and social. They have an upstairs seating area and outdoor seating w/ portable fire warmer thingys. Veggie Burger: 4.5/5 Strawberry Splash Mocktail: 4/5 read more

It was clean. There was plenty of room for kids to run around which I didn't expect for a brewery but hey ‍ um I'd like my food to be brought to me. I like condiments to be brought to me. I like my drinks to be brought to me. Cause I'm uncoordinated and add liquor to the mix all bad. So if I have to go get my own food and condiments then they should say that...we are basically a drive thru without a drive thru. The portions of meat reminded me that commercial "where's the beef" the portions of sauce to the meat. The prices for the portions and amount of meat given. Not worth it. Ridiculous. So if you want a Chuck E. Cheese sitting type of vibe with the unsupervised children screaming and running around. Feel like doing a field sobriety check walk back to your bench with your overly priced 4oz large only one size drink. For sure. Go for it. No service. Not alcohol selling vibe or brewery vibe for me and definitely not enough food. Owner seemed nice though. And there was definitely no need for reservations. read more

I've been here a few years ago for drinks. Came back recently with my family to celebrate my birthday. The gentleman at the cash register was very friendly and helpful. I wasn't sure what seltzer I wanted and he gave me a few samples, but didn't rush me despite having a line behind me (many were my family, LOL). I decided on the Hard Tea seltzer and it was refreshing on a hot day. I also ordered the Classic chicken sandwich, and the chicken is two crispy chicken fingers in a sandwich. It was really crispy and not greasy, which is a major plus. I also got the pickle chips and those were amazing. Crunchy texture (possibly Panko crusted) and minimal grease. Esteban brought out our food and he was very friendly and upbeat. He said they have many house made sauces and I tried the white Bbq sauce with my meal. It tasted more like a white honey mustard than Bbq sauce but was really good. We did sit outside on a warm day and found that a few more umbrellas would have helped ease the heat. Many people came out and went back inside because of the heat. We did appreciate that there is a napkin dispenser on each table. Overall, great food, service and atmosphere. I'll be back to try a cheeseburger and seltzer flight. read more

No complaints on the customer service because our cashier/bartender was nice. I went upstairs to look for a table and while there were two empty, they were dirty and still needed to be cleaned. We went for the margarita flights that have we have been seeing all over social media. Although presentation wasn't good and it looked nothing like we expected. The picture was taken right as we received it....already melted. Don't promote your items as such if you're not going to be able to uphold to the standards. read more

Great brewery!! We got the honey blonde (BEST one I've ever had + locally sourced honey) and the blueberry lemon sour they were both fantastic. So much so, we went back for more drinks and got the vanilla boozy splash and cherry cola fusion, both were so delicious and different. The vanilla was so sweet and dreamy. The workers were extremely kind and helpful. Mozzarella sticks were also 10/10!!! The CHEESE PULL IS WILD!!! Super crispy, yet not greasy they went too fast!!! Sports TVs all around, a patio, and an upstairs, great options for everyone. Definitely recommend this brewery!! read more

Fantastic food and drinks. They make all their on beers and seltzers here. Great service too. We've been coming here for about 10 years.

Got the chicken bbq sandwich and was very tasty even without the sauce. Add in the many different sauces you can try and it just brought out the star flavor of the sandwich. Sides were a great portion; however, the Mac and cheese was not as creamy/cheesy as I would think would come out of from a BBQ spot. Staff was very friendly and would come back to check in without being over bearing. Vibes of the brewery was very casual with nice retro comic decor. read more

Such a great spot with delicious food and drinks! We came on a Saturday evening, and it was packed. Even so, the entire staff was doing their absolute best to keep things moving fast. We got our drinks almost immediately, and the food came out in about 10 minutes. We ordered the pub burger, the American burger, and mozzarella sticks. The pub burger was so big I couldn't even finish it. What really impressed me was how juicy it was without the bun getting soggy or falling apart like it does at so many other places - the bread was firm and really good quality. Both burgers came with fries. Definitely grab sauces right away; I especially loved the spicy ranch sauce. For drinks, I had a sour beer, blueberry and lemon, and it was absolutely amazing. If you're not sure you'll like it, you can ask for a sample, which is a really nice touch. The atmosphere is also super interesting: upstairs they have large communal tables, which makes it easy to sit, chat, and even meet new people. Such a fun experince. The service deserves special mentionI honestly don't know how the owner managed to hire so many friendly and professional people. We chatted with several staff members, and every single one of them was the definition of polite. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Thompson Brewing is cool & friendly and has some tasty menu items. I had The Space Kitten West Coast IPA (6.6% ABV) and Chopped Brisket BBQ Sandwich.

Really decent food and nice customer service too! We came for pup & Brews and Sunday brunch- the only thing on the breakfast menu available. Today was the burrito.

We had a few friends with us and they liked their food too The seating arrangements unusual with one large table right by where you order and then stairs to go up and sit at different tables, but they also have tables where they brew beer and in the back luckily, it was cool enough outside to sit out in the back Made for a really beautiful day read more

Heard and have seen lots of great reviews about this hidden gem. Family friendly and family owned location. Food was great! The breakfast burrito with brisket was 10/10 and our favorite dish of them all! The Pub burger 8/10 (kinda cold by the time we got our food). Not a fan of the The loaded breakfast tots because the gravy overtakes all the flavor 4/10. the Mac and cheese tasted basic 4/10. My wife tried a mocktail really refreshing 9/10 (served in a small cup). So many items on the menu, we will definitely be coming back! Loved this place read more

This was our first time visiting after seeing Thompson Brewing on social media and we were excited to try it out. When ordering the cashier was not welcoming again being our first time it took us a second to understand the menu. We ordered the flight that has dole whip and frozen slushies. The lime was not working which I totally understand happens but that was not communicated to us so instead of a flight of 6 we only received 4. When looking at our receipt it said a flight of 6 so I asked about the discrepancy, the first person to come to our table and explain was the girl that charged us and was condescending in her explanation. I understand I was charged $22.50 for 4, but at a table next to us a party got the same flight but theirs both came with 6. We asked them how much they paid and one girl paid $15 and the other $30 for the SAME flight. There is just a lot of inconsistency in the pricing and the portion size is a lot smaller than what's advertised on social media. Other reviews share the same sentiment. Hopefully in the future they can work on price/portion consistency and welcoming demeanors. read more

This was my first time here. It's been a while since I have been to a local brewery. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I was there to visit friends so I was a designated driver so I did not get to experience the local craft brews. I did however get to experience some pretty good food. I have the loaded french fries with pork on it. That was a meal in itself and was very good. Also had the double American burger. The loaded french fries were better than the burger. we sat out back at the picnic tables, which was very relaxing. I was jealous of food that I saw coming out to other tables. So I definitely do wanna try other food when I return and can enjoy a craft beer. Thank you, Thompson brewing for a wonderful experience as I will be returning. Thank you. read more
