LOVE this place! Beer is fantastic and the food is amazing! On the warmer days I recommend calling ahead if you want outdoor seating. Another perk is that they are dog friendly! Can't wait to come back. read more

Went with a large group (12) and they were very accommodating! Only two house made beers but the Brown Ale was excellent, I really enjoyed it. Not much on the menu for vegetarians (I had the potato dumpling app which was a touch salty for me but very flavorful). My friends liked their food which looked like pretty standard pub grub. The restaurant was loud and clattery but lots of families with children (I was there early) and people were having a good time. I'm looking forward to enjoying more beer and I hope some additional vegetarian options. read more

If the food wasn't as good as it was when it FINALLY arrived, I'd say 1 star. But, it was pretty tasty. However. It wasn't busy at all, yet it took nearly a half hour to get our appetizer. Then another 15-20 for our meals. Of course, once mine arrived, it was wrong, so I waited another 20 minutes. At which point I basically had to inhale my food because my husband and son were pretty much done and we had been there for well over an hour already. They nicely took my lunch off the check for the trouble, which I appreciate, but unfortunately I can't recommend it, and we won't be back. Bummer. read more

The beer remains solid. My favorite is the campfire, as it is dark and smokey...love it. Tried some more food and overall we enjoyed it. I think in general it's pretty expensive (say for lunch), but the staff was responsive to issues, even taking something off the bill (we did not request it). I am between 3-4 stars, but gave them a bump for improvements. We will be back. read more

Awesome service. Had a take out order that was running a little late. I had paid online and didn't have my wallet with me... the server (Katie), figured out how to add a few beers to the tab and brought us a complimentary order of chips with salsa and guacamole to have while we waited. Super friendly and accommodating even though they were busy and probably short staffed. Just great service and much appreciated! read more

Beer and atmosphere: excellent Food: either excellent or garbage. No in between. Definitely a fun, family-friendly bar/restaurant. read more

Once in few weeks we stop here for a beer and telling our selfs, let's order some food , and every time we get on other disappointing meal.

My meal at True West can basically be summed up as... a week later and I'm still dreaming about the experience. The atmosphere is great and really reminds me of a neighborhood spot where friends and family can come together. But really, the star of True West is food. We started off with the tater tots - a fresh and crispy little snack. So good, I'm afraid they've ruined frozen tots for me. The aioli that came with them was a really nice alternative to ketchup. Our table shared an order of the gnocchi. The gnocchi were the perfect texture but the sauce was really the standout. For my entree I enjoyed the fish tacos and I cannot stop thinking about them. The fish was delicate, the accompaniments were light and the flavors were out of this world. I've had my fair share of fish tacos but these were a standout. My dining mates enjoyed the chicken & waffles and a burger and were equally impressed. We finished off the meal with a passion fruit mousse - so light and refreshing and the perfect way to end the meal. Chef Mike is a master in the kitchen and does an incredible job of elevating simple dishes. This place is a total gem. P.S. Mention "the conspiracy" to the hostess. You can thank me later! read more

Four of us (and a baby) just had a great lunch here. Daughter and husband just moved to Acton and someone recommended this place. It was a lively atmosphere with people watching the Patriots in the bar area and lots of families and couples in the restaurant. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. I had the burger (perfect and huge) with the Ruckus beer. Someone else had fish tacos which they described as "amazing." All in all, a nice time...cool, minimalist decor and most importantly, excellent food. A little bit of Cambridge in the burbs. read more

So happy to see a micro-brewery open up in the area. The innovative beer selection complements the edgy menu. The decor is "modern casual" with a bar area on one side and a traditional dining area on the other. They also have some outdoor seating with the breathtaking view of Rt 111 :) Our server (Alessandra) was the perfect representative of the establishment. She enthusiastically described the beers and also some of the more popular items to eat. We were made to feel at home considering this was our first time here. We were impressed with our orders but there were a few misses. The Fish Tacos, a popular item, could have been better seasoned. Presentation of the entrees was impressive but in general we would have liked to see bold flavors. If this restaurant were in Boston/Cambridge, a 3 star ("A-OK") would have been appropriate. But we rate it a 4 star ("Yah! I'm a fan") because of the lack of options in the area. All in all, it was a pleasant experience and we'd consider a second visit. read more

Stopped here a couple of years ago shortly after it opened, and it was fantastic. Fast forward to now and the picture has changed. Incredibly slow service. Disappointingly limited menu which consists mainly of burgers. Passable but not great beer. Food was totally overcooked and one of the items wasn't at all like its description on the menu (the excuse was that they had changed that item and the new menus are coming tomorrow.) I could go on, but you get the picture. To their credit, they did try to make it right. We might give it another chance, but it's not the place I remember. read more

The food and drinks deserve four stars but the service is only a two. This is not based on one visit but the last few. Last visit was on Saturday. Got there around 1pm for lunch. After we'd already been there long enough with no one coming over to take our order to start looking at the time, it was another 15 minutes before a waitress came over. I just don't get it. There were plenty of people working but just not enough waiters I guess. To be fair my drink was tasty and my burger was good. read more

Wow- beer selection was awesome and food was even better. Ate my body weight in the house made tots and the fried chicken sandwich was phenomenal. Everything is scratch made and fresh, along with great service from the staff. A+ read more

Good beer, but the food is inconsistent and mediocre to say the least. And far too costly for what it is. Chef sent out fries that were sitting too long and burnt burgers that were supposed to be medium. Apps were okay. I'd hit it up again for a beer before hitting up a real restaurant. read more

This place falls JUST shy of 5 stars. The food is good...very good, maybe...but it's not fantastic. The service is good, but certainly not perfect. Flatbreads and burgers were good (especially the mushroom and bacon flatbread) and salads were solid. Two small, annoying issues with our food: (1) The grilled chicken on the salad was horrendous...dry and hard...extremely overcooked...tasted like it was cooked, then reheated, then reheated three more times. (2) The chili is described as having cheddar cheese on top. When the chili came out without the cheese and we asked for cheese, no apology was given...and by the time that the cheese came out of the kitchen, the chili was cold and had almost been entirely eaten. We will go back and we are very happy that this place exists...but it needs to improve in a few areas. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! It's such a cute brewery in a small town with delicious . It's perfect for a date night or just grabbing an appetizer with friends. Their flight of beer is very inexpensive for six beer samples. It's definitely a spot I'll be going back to time and time again! I definitely recommend checking it out if and when you are in the area, it won't disappoint and neither will it's food! Disappointed in our last few trips here. The service was awful, we went on a Monday night and waited half an hour for our server to come back and take our food order. Once we got our order the burger was way over done, it was so dry. read more

Food is horrible. The beer is ok. Not the place to good for food not even your typical bar food, other places around Acton are better.

lovely new place and everything is and looks new, nice bar with a couple of tvs, we had the braided pretzel app, very good and the spicy, burger , very good and the romain caesar with haddock, also very good, service nice, water filled, interesting beer selection , largely of their own although they were out of some......you can get lift time mug for 1000$!!!!!!!..... nice place, liked it!!!! so it ask next good for kids so yes, they had an interesting kids menu! read more

All I can say this place is killer! Our server Emma was top notch and really made my sons 9th bday perfect! You must stop In you will not be disappointed read more

I'm giving them a 5 because I knew about the noise level going in. This place is beyond loud, scream at your partner loud! This needs to be fixed or they will go out of business. My wife got the green chili pork tacos and I got the turkey BLT. Both were tasty and my fries were excellent. We started off with the potato dumpling which was also very good. I had 2 True West ales which are excellent. Wait staff made a few mistakes, but no big deal, they are new and human. Everyone makes mistakes, including people who review :-) I would suggest giving them a try. If you don't like noise, give them a few months, the waitress told me the panels have been ordered and should be installed shortly. We will come again and I will update my review in the future. Quick update, I wrote the review while in the restaurant tonight. Then Peter, which is one of the owners came over and talked with my wife and I. He gave us a tour of the brewery. He's a really nice guy and took his time giving us the tour. We also met Rebecca which was also extremely nice. He also told me the acoustic panels are in and being installed tomorrow. read more

So....we came here on a Sat night around 6:30. The place was packed. We were told it would be a 45 min wait for a table. So we put our name in and tried to get a drink at the very full bar. After about 15 min we finally got a beer. Around 7pm we got a seat at the bar and asked if we could eat here too. They said yes, so we took our name off the list for a table. It took another 15 min or so to waive a bartender down to order another round and some food. We had our eyes on some apps and meals. The bartender said he could get us a round but could not put food in for another 20 min. This was ridiculous. We've already had a beer, waited nearly an hour, about to get another beer....and no food orders for 20 min?!! That means we won't eat for another 45 or more. I questioned this and the bartender came back and said we could order. We skipped the apps (disappointment) and just ordered burgers. He came back again to tell me the one I ordered was 86'd. Uggh. So I ordered something i didn't really want just to get it in, in hopes to get food in my belly soon. The beer so far is "ok". It's drinkable but nothing to write home about. I had the Czech Pils (meh) and the Isaac (better). This is my first time here and my husbands second. I usually give a place 2-3 trys to see if it was just a bad night. We will see. The burger turned out to be pretty tasty. Still, overall experience was lousy. read more

A very active bar and cafe but I didn't like anything on the menu and the prices were too high for a place like this. $13.00 for a common drink! read more

Went back in as I said I would. Had a great experience with all of the staff. The IPA was juicy and delish! Love the vibe and will return! read more

True West is a local gem. They connect with the community, brew very tasty beer and their kitchen does a great job. The fish and chips are delicious. I am also a big fan of the True West burger. Keep up the great work and see you soon! read more

This place is so great. Awesome food - cheese flat bread with pepperoni, cheeseburger and fries pickles. YES. The beer flights are very generous (6 beers!!). Waitress was great and the outdoor seating on a warm summer night made it that much better. Cornhole for those wanting to play and a big TV for those who want to watch the game. Can't wait to go back! read more

I typically don't give reviews but felt the need to share. I truly don't know why this place only has 3 stars. This place is awesome! The beer is great the food menu is so good that it truly took me 20 minutes to decide what to eat. (I was enjoying the porter while making this decision). Our waitress (grace) was very attentive and so friendly. I ended up getting the burger and was starving and was still only able to eat 1/2. The fries are fresh cut and delicious. I have already texted my family who live in the area and told them that this place is now a go-to whenever I'm in town! On top of everything, my mother is a celiac and this place has gluten free offerings and will prepare and cook things separately as needed/requested. read more

Delicious food - everything is made from scratch, including the bread and rolls. We tasted a bit of everything and enjoyed it all. The chef came out to greet us and explain the choices, Really unique flavors, beautifully presented. Service was excellent. I'm not a beer drinker, although the selection was large, I was glad to know they also had a full bar so I could enjoy a martini. Try it! You'll love it! read more

A solid 3 star restaurant. We frequented this place when it first opened & loved it until one night my wife had such a bad experience, she refused to go back for years.. ouch. We went back tonight with the family & things have changed. The service was great as was the beer! The food, however, was average & that's okay. If I lived in Acton, I would come here all the time but I live one town over & I'm not sure if it's worth the trip whereas when it first opened, it was. That's all. read more

Trying to help out business but after waiting at a table for 15-20 minutes without even seeing a server... went elsewhere. Not busy and Not good. read more

Came in tonight to check out the True West brewery. What a great location! The bar was nicely set up and the bartenders were attentive and informative. Great location with multiple age groups all out to enjoy some good drinks and GREAT food. I will come back and bring more friends read more

Nice kid-friendly dinner after the day at Davis Farmland. A bit pricey, but the food was tasty and fresh. Great, fresh local beer to drink there or fill a growler with. read more

Great potential but..... Absollutly horrible acoustics. Impossible to carry on a dinner conversation without shouting. Everyone was competing to be heard. It was so nice to finally leave. Small portions for a dinner. Got home and needed a snack. Asked for a side salad which appears to mean a tiny bowl of greens. Nothing else. No dressing offered or provided. Staff was very disorganized. My dinner partner had 1 sip left in his first beer when I finally got my first. The table next to us waited in frustration for 20 mins before anyone even came by. When we did speak to our waitress she was super rushed and clearly distracted. Maybe caught them on an off night. I hope so. Not many good places to eat around here... read more

Usually stop in for just a glass of wine(!!) and a quick snack. The pretzel is great but I miss the Devils on Horseback! A popular spot for the after-work crowd! read more

We haven't been to True West since before the pandemic began and I don't think will be returning. It was our first venture out since we have been concerned about COVID but gave it a shot. First, as we were sat we were brought to a table that had not been cleaned. We had to wait for her to clean it off, and she didn't clean the chairs properly either. Our server was fine. She didn't appear to know much about the drink menu when we asked about cocktails. I ordered the risotto and my son ordered the house burger with nothing but cheese. My risotto was correct, but my son's burger was terrible. He ordered a medium well burger and it came out very red, closer to medium rare, and the side was incorrect. Many COVID heath protocols weren't followed. Most patrons were not wearing masks despite the Governor's orders, and multiple people walked toward the restrooms without wearing masks at all. My son saw staff members eating together near the restrooms and said they didn't cover their faces as he walked by. We called ahead to ask about COVID protocols, and was told that these things would be followed. Staff don't wear gloves, and they did not wash their hands very frequently. Hand sanitizer was sparse at best. We left before finishing our food. We didn't ask for boxes either as the food wasn't good enough to take home with us. My husband, now passed, was a regular at True West years ago. We gave it a chance to return close to his birthday. It was a very unsanitary place and the floor had drip and beer marks covering it, and during this time I would have expected something much different. read more

Trendy little brewery/restaurant in Acton. Reminds me of John Harvards but cozier and smaller. We had a flight at the bar and an appetizer and the place was busy! We were lucky to find seats at the bar because the whole place was packed. Not sure we'd return because of the drive, but it was a fun experience! read more

Not sure about their 3* rating. Staying in the area for business and tried them last night. We tried several different beers and all were good. The burgers are big and tasty. If I was local I would be back. read more

I've been three separate times now. The place is passable at best. Food is OK, not great. They're often out of things -- out of food on the menu or out of beer listed on the beer list. Each time I've been, they're out of something different, and with a pretty small menu that means the picky eaters really struggle. Kudos for brewing their own beer, but I have yet to find a remarkable one. read more

Food was awesome. Service was awesome. Beer selection was awesome. James was our bartender. He was super professional and very knowledgeable. We had a great time! Overall it was a great experience. Thanks James!! read more

Nice space and seating areas but, boy, the food was bad! We ordered a couple of the pasta dishes and they arrived cooled and lumped and stuck together and tasted very bland. Garden salad was dull and reminded me if an airport salad. I'm not familiar with the area so don't know how it compares to other local options but it was pretty lousy. read more

I have been here now a handful of times since its opening. I have been very pleased with the lovely, local artisan food (salad, which is hard to do well) wine selection and prompt, friendly, knowledgeable service. The atmosphere is surprisingly comfortable considering a loft/modern decor and it's often very busy on weekends. It can look deceptively small at first until you keep walking back. The dining area is very good sized. The bar is huge and there's always a place to 'squeeze' in at either table, seat or even to stand in groups. Outdoor seating in summer will be a great addition next year! Acton sooo needed a place like this. Cheers for True West! read more
