True West is a great spot to grab a delicious bite to eat or to try one of their many beers on tap! I'm a big fan of their cheese burger and fries as well as their soups. The atmosphere is great, the staff is friendly and helpful and their hours are good. I highly recommend true West! read more

Service was good, friendly, prompt. Portions were generous. I ordered the fish and chips. Fish was soggy and bland. Fries came out cold. Cole slaw was a wet mess, best ignored. Food here used to be pretty good, not sure where it went wrong. read more

I have never been here once when I have been spoken to within 15 minutes of sitting down. I'm often nearby for a family activity so I make the mistake of coming and then sitting for 20 minutes without even being offered a drink. It's so consistent that it's really notable. It just seems like something that could be easily fixed. The food is always okay, nothing great. Not my first choice but service could definitely be improved!! read more

This has been our go to burger place as of late. Great portions with each meal. The nachos are to die for, but the burgers are a 10/10 for sure. We usually order take out and the food is hot and ready when I arrive but the two times we've gone it I've found the staff to be very friendly and quick to attend us and the decor very brew puby if that is a thing. Lots of good wood tables and warmth read more

Great beer, great space. I stopped in for brunch and had the chicken and biscuits--biscuits were solid, chicken was crisp and juicy, but the sauce needed more flavor. Still, I'd come back for the beer alone; every pint was excellent. Service was friendly and on point. Cozy but not cramped, with a vibe that makes you want to linger. Looking forward to trying more off the menu. read more

The wings were really good. The nachos were fine. The cheese wasnt real melty and there was a good amount of toppings but I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor. Trivia is great, they do a great job broadcasting the sound. read more

Firing on all cylinders! Good food, good beer choices, great service, all wrapped in a local brew pub that's a jewel in West Acton. I love that there is outdoor seating, bar seating, high tops and regular tables. A super bonus is the secret Speakeasy and back porch - open only on certain days. We had flights of TW brewed beer, generous and sumptuous appetizers, and attentive service. Perfect! read more

True West - Sampled the TW Partial to Endings pilsner - excellent. - Breweries Near Me - Acton, Massachusetts

Brewery with lots of food options, both traditional and more eclectic. I came for dinner on a Saturday night. It was busy but not overly crowded. Indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside as it was pretty hot out. I ordered an aperol spritz and the Bangkok street noodles. The aperol was lovely. Not too sweet and just the right strength. The Bangkok street noodles theoretically should have been right up my alley - noodles and veggies in a Chinese-inspired sauce. The sauce, however, was incredibly salty and overpowered all the other flavors. I enjoy salty flavors but this was just too much. The two people I went with said their dishes were good but nothing to write home about. Don't think I'll be back. read more

This place is a SOLID 2-3 stars. Nice decor. Took about 10 minutes to get my initial order taken. Ordered a drink and watched the remaining liquid from my finished drink evaporate before the server came back to see if I needed anything else. Took a solid 10 minutes to get my second drink-- a margarita. There was so little alcohol in both drinks that I'm convinced I was more sober after drinking them than when I arrived. As for the food, the chicken and corn chowder was delicious but contained only two tiny bites of chicken and a piece of potato with a black spot so large that it looked like an onyx stone (I put it to the side). The Chicken & Biscuit sliders had a great sauce and tender chicken but the biscuits were a bit hard and stiff for my taste. I ate the chicken and apples out of the sliders and left the biscuits. Server was great when she appeared. The service was "meh," but to be fair, our server also seemed to be pulling hostess duty. Overall, seems like a good place for (mock)-cocktails and appetizers but I'll likely pass on going back. read more

Had dinner here last night and had a terrible experience. Ordering with our server was a challenge with poor results. A passion fruit margarita came out as a pineapple margarita (where the overall flavor was off, definitely too much lime juice). Ordering the menu-listed option of a buffalo cauliflower wrap took multiple attempts and significant pointing on the menu. The server did not think a side came with the sandwich and the menu had to be pointed to as a reference again. And ordering the Baja fish tacos without the jalapeño mayo turned into an indication to bring out plain, dry fish tacos on uncooked corn tortillas (the red cabbage noted on the menu also could not be delivered for reasons I don't understand). I do have a sensitivity to capsaicin (aka spicy peppers including jalapeño) which we made the server aware of, but I won't die if I have any. I'll be uncomfortable, but will most certainly live. So I was frustrated when while serving me bland fish on uncooked tortillas, the server said "here you are, exactly ask you asked." No ma'am, I most certainly did not ask for this. When I originally ordered, I tried asking for the crema that is listed with the salmon tacos to come out instead of the jalapeño mayo. When this request made the server question if I wanted the salmon tacos, I passed and hoped for the best. When the bare fish arrived, I asked for them to be made as listed on the menu and was told the cook refused fearing retribution for any allergy that was stated (which meant the cook was content to serve bland food with no vegetable on the plate). When I stated that it was a sensitivity and not an allergy and assured the waitstaff I would not die, that had zero impact on the situation (because clearly the restaurant staff knows my sensitivities better than I do and I cannot be trusted). When I tried to work with the restaurant's concerns regarding allergies and hypothetical future dead patrons, I asked for lettuce, tomato, and onion to be served with the bare fish. I was provided lettuce, tomato, and a green sauce (which was ok), but no onion even though there is onion listed on their burgers. Onions are not spicy peppers. I do not understand why onions could not be provided. I do not understand why the red cabbage originally listed with the fish tacos could not be provided. I do not understand why the corn tortillas could not be cooked. None of these ingredients are related in any way to a sensitivity to capsaicin (aka spicy peppers). Then our server disappeared for a significant period of time. We saw her on her phone behind the bar. Someone else eventually picked up the credit card that had been on the table for nearly 10 min to check us out and allow us to leave. Management was no where I could identify, and thus it's no surprise that there was no compensation for this frustrating and disappointing experience. I would recommend that you avoid going here if you have any food allergies or dietary needs. This restaurant, kitchen and serving staff alike, cannot handle any requests that to make any adjustments or accommodations. And you'll pay full price for terrible food and a worse experience. read more

It could've been worse I guess. But we did not get side plates so we had a full plate of nachos and fried pickles and nothing to put them on. Our waitress did not come to check on us and when she held the device out to tip, she stared at it forcing me to tip either 20, 22, or 25%. I am not one to tip less than 20%, but this time I would have probably tipped 10-15% as they did literally nothing for us. Food was brought out by other people. She did absolutely nothing. Our drinks also sucked, not her fault but didn't help the situation. Ghost tequila should not be in a drink titled "Paloma". The waitress with the mask btw. read more

Visiting Concord and wanted to try out a few local breweries and stopped by True West. Sat at the bar and the bartender was great. She said she makes a mean margarita so I tired her coconut one and it was delicious! My husband enjoyed his beer flight. We ordered a pretzel. The pretzel was yummy but not a big fan of the cheese sauce (just my personal preference), but the mustard was good. read more

I just got ripped off at true West. $70 For two beers, what was essentially a roast beef sandwich with nothing on it a.k.a. Beef on Weck and the smallest (winter) salad w a little bit of chicken I ever paid $22 for. I suggest eating before you go and just trying the beer while you're there. read more

Mediocre food. Gave it another shot and my family had to leave after being ignored by servers for over 20 mins. There are other better options nearby so steer clear, especially if non-white. read more

Really like the vibe of this place and it's a great local spot. The beer is pretty good and cocktails were great. The food is decent bar food but nothing spectacular. Service was prompt and super friendly. We got seated in the back room which was cool and behind a fake door of oak barrels but no one else was in there when we were so it wasn't particularly vibey that night. On a busier night this is a great place to go out in Acton. read more

I went to to Tdubs on a Monday evening, and I gotta say I had a blast. The food was excellent (cubano) and the service was great. The beer was equally as good as the food, the brewer Todd really knows what he's doing. My server was Cailin and she was exceptional, a straight 10 out of 10. Would definitely recommend this establishment and I will be returning. read more

Had high hopes for our meal but unfortunately was underwhelmed. Cole slaw lacked flavor. Portion was huge. Fish tacos were okay. Need more sauce for amount of fish. House burger was good per husband. Sweet potato fries were best part of meal minus the frozen one. Over all price wasn't worth what we ordered. read more

Been here a bunch of time.... Service is impeccable, food is pretty good and beers are solid. For food I highly recommend the blackened salmon sandwich - I've had it a few times and it's always cooked to perfection! For summer beers I like the Melony Ferguson which is a wheat beer with a hint of citrus. Shout out to Samantha and Maris who are awesome servers and made our experience even better! read more

We have been here numerous times and the beer and the food have been great every time! Today there was a Buffalo Bills game on and the place was jammed with Bills fans.

I don't drink, but I hear that the drinks are good. The food used to be good, but it's gone downhill. The Bangkok street noodles didn't have much flavor other than salt. The egg roles were massive, mostly dough and inedible. The fries are usually good, but they were soggy. The burger was good, but that was about it... read more

Food was quite good. After sitting ten minutes or so we were given water. Ten or fifteen more minutes later our waitress appeared and took our orders. Ordered a beer, "we'll start with the fried clams and calamari appetizer", and our entrees. You probably guessed it - all the food came out together. My wife's Irish stout didn't impress her. The app was good, cooked a little beyond what I would have preferred, to the detriment of the bellies. My wife enjoyed her salmon. My steak tips were cooked perfectly medium rare, flavor was great, but having paid a surcharge to have them "smothered" in bleu cheese and caramelized onions, I can't imagine anyone describing them as smothered. I haven't been here since pre-Covid, and I find it to be the way I left it - good food, but service and details have never been what it should. read more

Had a great pulled pork sandwich here last night. Got the caesar salad add on. Both were excellent. Really, really good. The bun for the sandwich was gourmet, not a cheap dough bun. The caesar dressing on the salad was fantastic. Some of the best I've had in quite some time. The only drawback to True West is the pale ales. Ruckus has taken a turn for the worst. Can't drink it anymore. Isaac is just okay. read more

Came here a few weeks ago for our anniversary. When checking in with the host, a busser crashed into my spouse and spilled what appeared to be melted ice cream all over their clothes and crutches. We immediately had to leave so they could change and shower. After cleaning up, we came back and had dinner. At the end of the meal, the server said the busser left some money so we could have dessert. Unfortunately, due to an allergy, we couldn't have anything on the menu. No other consideration was given. It's a pretty poor practice to make an employee to pay out of their pocket for a mistake like this. I cannot imagine what other poor working conditions these people are forced to deal with. It's also pretty poor practice to show little compassion after publicly embarrassing a patron. We tried contacting the brewery privately about the incident, but they have failed to respond. The beer is great, everything else is not. read more

We've been going here since day one and have always enjoyed the food and beer. But tonight we had a totally different service experience than ever before and we had to leave even before sitting down. We asked to sit outside as the deck was wide open except for one table. But they tried to sit us on the sidewalk next to three other full high tops. We asked again for the deck and they said their servers "got slammed" last week so they were "alternating the seating". This made no sense because they wanted to sit us next to a lot of already full tables. We came here for a good experience and wanted to sit on the deck (which was available) and not on tiny wobbly tables on the sidewalk. Clearly this was done so the servers didn't have to walk as far. Prioritizing the station assignments of servers over paying customers makes no sense. We left and called from our car to speak with a manager because we wanted someone to know what was happening, but the manager wouldn't get on the phone. We spoke instead to someone who seemed like another server and who offered no apology or solution. We are hoping this message will make its way to the owner. Instead we went to Luna, a new Mexican restaurant in town that was just amazing. Completely opposite experience in terms of service. read more

We had an awesome experience this weekend! My family and I recently found this place, in search of a restaurant with an outdoor pet-friendly patio because my sister was in town with her small well-behaved havapoo. To our pleasant surprise, we also learned that it's a Buffalo Bills bar! As my dad is from Buffalo and my mom also from upstate New York, we were thrilled! We started by sharing a really great kale Caesar salad and some dry rub chicken wings. We all chose different beers to try. I had a BBQ pork sandwich with a side of mac-n-cheese (wagon wheels!). My sister had a blackened salmon sandwich, which she said was good but fair warning: it's very big, and she added a side of buffalo chicken mac-n-cheese, which is great but very spicy! Of course, my parents both had the beef-on-weck. It's not really the same as the real thing but a good alternative to traveling all the way to Buffalo LOL I also need to mention that unfortunately they had no record of our reservation when we arrived, even though we had called a couple days earlier, which was frustrating, but thankfully they were still able to find us a table outside. We will definitely be back, especially for Bills games in the fall! (visited 7/24/21) read more

True West is a true gem of a Brewery and eatery. As a frequent explorer of MA breweries I'm always on the lookout for a great new craft beer and culinary experience. If that describes you, you will want to put Acton MA in your GPS and make your way to this delightful destination. Solid beer selection and flights that provide 6 generous samplings from their malty menu. Presentation is half the experience, and they have cool little goblets from which to lap their lagers and sip their stouts. I got the California burger with a side of buffalo mac and cheese. You will not be disappointed by this combo. And you will not leave hungry. Flavor explosions could likely be heard from a half mile away. The mac had moxie! And the burger was one of the best I've had. Come on down and give this team a try. read more

Waited almost twos hours for 1 appetizer and a shared meal. Mind you, it was a SLOW Monday night. Pork nachos were so incredibly dry that they were almost inedible. Meat tasted like it was 5 days old with how dry it was. The only moisture on the nachos was from the canned pinto beans. Chicken sandwich had absolutely no flavor and was very dull/dry. Drinks were good, but service was so slow it was hard to order another round. Given how slow the service was and the poor quality of food, very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

Very mediocre food and beer and extremely slow service. Took over 40 minutes to get our food order taken. Food arrived and the child's hotdog meal came with a soggy bun. Adults ordered a Beef on Weck and a duck Reuben. Menu says the horseradish comes on the side of Beef sandwich, but it was smothered in it instead. Sandwich was cold, just was flavorless (imagine broth-colored water) and sandwich overall was under seasoned and bun also came totally soggy. Asked for Dijon and was brought yellow mustard twice. Duck on Reuben was extremely tough, like jerky. One of the beers (spruce tips...) was so bitter it was completely unpalatable. Took over an hour and a half for the entire meal. Only reason this is not a one star review is the waitress was personable, they didn't kill my husband (severe dairy allergy) the kids meals were incredibly inexpensive, and the tots and sweet potato fries were good. Would possibly try again to rule out a "bad day" as the driver of poor meal. Go with low expectations. read more

I like this place. The staff was friendly and the food was okay. My issue is the fact is this is a brewery or a brew house and the one thing that wasn't talked about at all was beer. We were seated and given a food, wine and cocktail menu. I asked about a beer menu and I was directed to a QR code or a tv screen for that menu. I could not find a list of any beer they make on premise, if any. It was all the same good craft beer you'll find most beer bars. Talk beer with your guests. It enhances the experience and guarantee a return. I saw a few issues with their systems as well. The aesthetics of the inside was nice and clean but nothing practical for the staff. They had to open and close a cabinet in order to get drinks for guests. Using Untappd as your beer menu does nothing to add value to the experience. It actually made me question if the beer menu was updated. I will return for the food and service. It's a nice area. I want to talk beer when I am in beer place. read more

Stopped by True West Brewery after a nice hike over at Harold Parker! Hadn't been here in years.... no idea why, it's so good! Got an Artistic Hocus Pocus with a vanilla shot to start, with a fried chicken sandwich for lunch. Both were delicious! Got a second beer, the Ruckus! IPA which was fantastic. Highly recommend you make a reservation if you want to come, I heard others getting told 1-2 hours.... read more

The Trivia night was awful! No one could understand what the lady said not follow her directions. It was one of the strangest trivia games cents we had been to read more

Update. And not a good one. Unfortunately I have not been happy with this place the past few times I stop in alone or with a group of frIends. We actually all have the same feeling.... "Why do we come here" Review of the food; decent. Depends on what you order though. Brussel sprouts are usually a safe order and always good. Fish tacos, still tasty. BUT something as easy as a grilled chicken Caesar salad. I was beyond disappointed and couldn't even eat it. Set aside the well done chicken breast (and not much of it either) but the dressing. I didn't know Caesar's tasted of too much garlic, I mean so chunky and thick (and I love garlic too. But this way TOO much) and LEMON!!! Why lemon!??? The dressing ruined it. Now let's get to the real reason why this place has gone down hill. THE SERVICE! I mean the bar is right there so why does it take 20 min to even come over and greet us and another 20 min to pour an glass of wine and a beer?!?!?!? All to come over and say "we are out of that" come on! Even when we have a table and a server several of us have to order from the bartender because the waitress is no where in site for days and days. There is one waitress there that has such a pissy attitude too. I mean, know who's paying the bill is all i have to say and don't insult that person and throw them attitude the entire time. Jus sayin'! All in all. If you're in NO HURRY. Stop in. See if they have that you want and sit there and be Ignored and if you don't want a good Caesar order this one. Work on the service! It's not like pouring a glass of wine or a beer takes a lot of time. Cheers people. Cheers! read more

I have to admit that I wrote this restaurant off 2-3 times over the last 5 years of living in a nearby town. They could never seem to get their act together. The food and service were always either subpar or "good enough" but it was never a place that you craved coming back to. This weekend the appropriate circumstance arose where we were in the area and needed a quick bite to eat. I remembered seeing they had a new chef so we gave it a shot. I'm glad we made that the decision. The food easily we from a 4 to a 9. I grew up eating steak tips and these tip were simply incredible, perfectly trimmed and marinated. Kudos to the new chef. Also, kudos to our server Kevin. He was clearly in the weeds all afternoon and new to the role but he did his best to make it all work out and keep us happy. Hang in there Kevin, good times will prevail. The bottom line is this area lacks good restaurants and for the first time in 5 years I can honestly say that we'll be back for more at this one. Good work turning it around. read more
