Another great experience at Valhalla for us! Though they are temporarily not brewing their own beer as they transition their brewing operations offsite to expand the food offerings and space, they had a great selection of guests brews, and their own cider. Both were great. The blackberry lemonade cider was dangerously good - enough to drink all day long. Great service. Great food menu. Today we had boneless wings and of course scrapple fries. Never disappoints! read more

Upon walking in you get more of a bar vibe than brewery vibe, while not a bad thing just not what I expected. They had one beer locally brewed as our server explained they were in the middle of moving locations. I did however have my first Key Lime Pie Crush! This mixture of vanilla vodka, fresh squeezed lime juice and simple syrup was delicious and a MUST try if in the area!! read more

I'm a HUGE beer fan, so my sister recommended visiting a couple of breweries after seeing some family up north. This was a secondary stop for us after we went to a brewery nearby. In fact, the beertender recommended that we check out the food. Parking was a bit tight, even for a Wednesday. I can't imagine how one would find a place to park on a Friday or Saturday. It seems like limited parking. I loved the environment when walking in. Big space with plenty of room. We decided to belly up to the bar for food and drink. The first order of business was the beer. We were greeted and given samples to try, but the guy insisted that he couldn't take our order. Strange... anyhow, none of the IPAs were up to par, and I was tired of trying beer, so I just requested their best porter. The beer was okay. It now made sense why 2/3 of their drink board is filled with cocktails and other mixed drinks. We ordered food. I got the Bama Brisket and fries. While the brisket was a tad dry, the overall sandwich was amazing. The fries reminded me of Thrashers fries and gave me some beach nostalgia. While enjoying my meal and drink, I would periodically get pelted by the dropping condensation from the HVAC. I understand that it's hot outside and cool in here, but that wasn't a pleasant experience. I wonder if it could be fixed. Overall, I wouldn't visit again for beer, nor would I sit at the bar. But the food would bring me back! read more

We love this place. Great sandwiches and great drinks. We always stop after our hikes. Outside tables so we can bring the dog.

Doing a brewery tour through Harford and Cecil counties and decided this was the worst of our stops. I had super high hopes on the way here, and they have such potential - what with their branding, location, and size of their building, but, what's bad just outweighs the good, unfortunately... Pros: - The one beer I tried, the Hikin' Viking IPA, was okay, not phenomenal, but not bad. - The wings came highly recommended and were, indeed, very good, though they were out of some of their sauce selections. - The place itself and their bathrooms are clean and nicely decorated. Cons: - 7 of 12 of their beers on tap weren't brewed by them, which, is fine, if you're just a craft beer bar first and a brewery second, but not so good if you're trying to give folks a chance to taste what you can do. We were warned that this might be the case but for as large as the building is, I would expect them to be able to showcase more than 5 beers. - The service is EXTREMELY lackluster despite the brewery not being very busy at all. With the exception of one young lady, who was only just average at best, the other 2 young servers behind the bar were more interested in socializing with each other or with the patrons with whom they were obviously friends and spent time sitting with them at their table. - As another reviewer pointed out some time ago, the TouchTunes jukebox is only for show. The place has it on but blocked off from playing anything so we lost money trying to play a few decent songs. The music playing was largely rap or modern pop and not at all music you normally hear at craft breweries. This tells me that they either don't monitor what their employees are doing (also evident by the lack of decent service) OR they don't understand the craft beer market. Overall, I'm happy I stopped in just to check this one off the list, and the wings WERE good, but I can't say I would recommend the brewery experience itself or make a special trip to come back. At best, they're an overall 2.5 stars, but only thanks to their wings. read more

The food here is amazing, an actual party in my mouth with every bite of that sandwich. And there is something about those fries, they are salty with a little sweet and a tiny spice, so so good. I've also gotten bite sized cheeseburgers and loaded nachos from here, I am always very satisfied with my meal and can not wait to try more of the menu! read more

I read the reviews and prepared for the few negative things I read. But... Service was great, drinks were plentiful and tasty. Pretzels were good, scrapple fries were fun, and then I saw wings, brisket, sandwiches, and the biggest hub cap of nachos I'd ever seen. This ain't just a brewery!! Great menu, great beers on draft plus wines, martinis, crushes and others. I can see how on a nice spring or summer afternoon this place is probably packed! Small parking lot and kinda tiny inside, I bet when business is popping service is probably a little slower and service too. That seemed to the the most negative thing for previous reviewers. For me, I'll be back. And honestly for the food b/c there's so much that I wanna sample! The beers good too, it's just that I was able to sample most of the beers, just not all I'd the sandwiches or nachos!! Goals, ya know?! read more

This place is very small town feel and they make you feel at home. My girlfriend and I tried the BBQ Chicken Nachos and the maple sriracha wings along with the beers pictured and I must say! This place didn't disappoint one but! Also met the owner of the place and she is very friendly. Highly recommend and enjoy!! read more

Decent beer options. Nothing crazy and nothing that I must come back for. Nonetheless most were good and I'm glad to have tried it. Most interesting thing I tried was the butterscotch porter. Tastes exactly like the name suggests. It's a smallish place. They also have a patio with some bar games. They also have a kitchen with a full menu. read more

The good: Mead and cider were great. The staff was positive and friendly. Restrooms were clean and well kept. The meh: the scrapple fries were pretty good, but not earth-shattering. The spicy syrup to dip in wasn't very good. You can do better. The bad: Crazy loud modern R&B music. Not sure how that has anything to do with a Viking them. Obnoxiously loud, even outside. Tried to use the Touchtunes service - wasted my money, it said my selections were playing, but must not have been attached to the speakers. read more

Just driving by after hiking at Fair Hill and looking for a place to eat. We had a flight of beer and a specialty drink...plus food. Baja chicken pictured...awesome. Husband had smoked wings and loved them. Love to visit and support independent places. Very friendly spot. Additional parking in rear that is not very well marked. read more

I was going to google Valhalla to get a definition but I'm OK with assuming it means 'place where great concepts go to fail miserably.' The beers were mediocre and not much of a variety. The worst part is half the beers were guest beers and there was still no variety. The service was horrible. I asked the male bartender if they had a beer list he told me to look at the blackboard. There was no description of the beers on the blackboard. The other bartender was slow. The busgirl's friend was making the most loud obnoxious bird call sounds. The food was amazing. Whoever runs the kitchen, immediately separate yourself from the rest of that place. I got the petite crabcake on a pretzel roll. This was heaven on earth, complementary ingredients in the proper portions and prepared perfectly. Carole got the sliced turkey special. Another example of how nice little touches can make an ordinary sandwich taste great. The big ass pretzel and it's three sauces were to die for. The maple sugar sauce is an absolute 'can not live without' item. If it was feasible I would use it everytime I use a liquid. The other sauces were very good with the pretzel and pretty darn good the next morning with the corn chips. read more

If you find yourself in the middle of nowhere on 213 in Fair Hilll/Elkton MD and are looking for some nightlife this is the place to be. It is an interesting Viking inspired microbrewery where the wifi name is "son-of-odin". (creative) Great food, great beer, great atmosphere. They have a self serve kiosk for food and the bar service is pretty good too. Enough tables for about 50 ppl and a bar with about a dozen seats. We ordered flights and some mead. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile. We stopped by for food after picking cherries at nearby Milburn Orchards. So glad we did! Everything we ordered was delicious. Portions sizes were much larger than we expected. We all took leftovers home. It's not a full service restaurant so food is ordered at the bar and taken to a seat. The bartenders ending up serving us anyway. Very pleasant experience. We will definitely return. read more

Drove out of our way to visit this brewing company after a few other brewery stops throughout our day. The place had been recommended by someone at our prior stop who noted they had good wings. That's probably the only positive thing we experienced.... The wings. They have TouchTunes but it was being overridden by a staff playlist and we never heard our songs. The workers were all very young (which is great) but they all had friends there that were drunk and the workers would go sit at the tables with them. They didn't brew even half of the beers they had on tap. Their soda gun was broken, they were out of some wing sauces, the list goes on. Won't be back. read more

Food was excellent and unique. We got the Drunkin Piggy sandwich, Crab nachos and wings with honey bourbon sauce. Beers were great too.

Wouldn't go out of the way to get here, but was in the area and it sounded intriguing. We enjoyed the food (chicken and vegetarian tacos, parm fries) more than the beers. The beers weren't bad, just not that memorable. My lemon shandy wasn't very lemony. Hubs did like the Nitro NEIPA the most out of his flight offerings. Bartender was friendly. It wasn't crowded- it was honestly too nice outside to be inside drinking beer- we just needed a pit stop on our travels this day. read more

During a recent trip to MD, we visited 3 breweries in the area, and this was the only one that had cider. We also tried the Angry Asian spicy wings. We were expecting the spiciness to be a more Tabasco vinegary spicy, but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't, it was a bit sweet. Very delicious and spicy! Needed two ciders to subdue the heat from the wings! read more

Valhalla Brewing Company - Apple-cran cider and Six Point - Breweries Near Me - Elkton, Maryland

Too many kids in this bar. Like....sitting at the bar! Isn't that illegal? I don't want to have to watch my mouth while some kid is coloring next to me. If you like or dislike the beer you receive, ya better hold onto it cause it takes you forever to get served. Especially if the bartender is Angela. It would of been more worthwhile if I got behind the bar and poured it myself. The wings are good, I'll give them that. This place has a lot of improving to do. I'd start with the staff. read more

Visited this brewery on a trip from Philly to Baltimore. The beers are ok at best (the Pilsner was very boozy and practically undrinkable). So, why will I go back several times? Because the Alabama White BBQ wings are LITERALLY the best wings I've ever had in my life. The other wings are almost equally amazing. read more

Your local brewery with a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Fries are excellent so as wings sauces, but wings themselves and sandwiches are ok, a bit dry. We had wings with beer BBQ sauce and a hoagie with a bratwurst and brisket. Thy ran out of pulled pork so they gave us brisket instead, it was a tad dry. Beer is good too. We came on an event night so I assume it was a bit more packed than usual. I'd be willing to go back and try more things. read more

Visiting Valhalla is becoming an annual pre-Thanksgiving tradition for our family. Every visit we have received excellent and friendly service. We always enjoy trying the variety of wing sauces, and particularly enjoyed the spicy Thor's Hammer and tasty Carolina Mustard on our most recent visit. The beer drinkers in our group enjoyed trying out some flights, and there are also some wine options available for those of us who don't like beer. We will definitely be back! read more

Heard about this new brewery in my hometown (which is not a place known for "up and coming" or trendy things) so I was super excited to try it out. Went on a sunday afternoon before football started. We were greeted warmly and the beer menu was explained to us along with how to order food. Drinks are ordered at the bar, food can be ordered at the bar or the self serve kiosk. We ended up getting a flight which only had 3 of their beers and a "guest beer". From what Ive heard they cant keep up with the demand which can be a good and bad problem at the same time because most people want to try what they have to offer. I love that they are thriving but this needs to be remedied as I go to a brewery to try their beers. Keep up the great work though!! The beers were tasty, my favorite was the chocolate pumpkin porter. It fufilled my pumpkin spice need without overkill of spices. They do offer mead and local wines. Some of the other beers they said were local but the one sesdion ipa I looked up was from CA. Still a good selection of brews for all tastes. We also decided to order wings and a big ass pretzel (thats what they call it). The food is smoked on site. Wings were big and meaty, the asian sauce was fabulous! I did find the meat a bit tough on some wings but they had great flavor and Id order them again. The pretzel was certainly big and accompanied by beer cheese, honey mustard and maple dipping sauces. All were delicious!! This place is definitely kid friendly during the day. Parking is at a minimum so get there early on game days because it was packed! I appreciate they had tunes playing but not so loud you couldnt have a conversation. Theres a good mix of long tables with benches and high top tables as well as seating at the bar (complete with outlets to charge your phone). I cant wait to return and try more of their brews! read more

We visited at 6 pm on Halloween. There were two people seated at the bar, and 6 people in the small dining area. Not crowded, but it took the bartender/owner, Kevin, ten minutes to acknowledge us. There was a woman hustling around organizing the shirts and hats and delivering food who ignored us. When Kevin finally walked over to us he was friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. The board behind the bar gave the Valhalla Brewing beer choices and guest beer choices. We had to request menus and flagged him down to give our orders. The menu is small but varied. I liked the selections -- it is a step up from pub food. Husband had Valhalla IPA and gave it a thumbs up. I had the chocolate porter and it was superb. The appetizers (Memphis Style Wings made with their house porter) and our dinners (Korean Pork Tacos and Southern Dip Sandwich) arrived at the same time; we would have preferred the appetizer before the meal. The wings were very tasty (6 for $8). The Southern Dip Sandwich ($13) was unevenly heated -- perfectly warmed in some parts and HOT in others. I'm assuming the filling was heated in the microwave before putting on the roll. The Korean Tacos ($12) were delightful; just enough heat to be enjoyable. While we were eating dinner a fellow from the liquor board popped in for a surprise inspection, so Kevin was occupied for about 15-20 minutes and the server was nowhere to be seen. My review is 3 stars because of the service. I'm assuming they were understaffed. I sincerely hope Valhalla hires more servers because their product is great. read more

We went missing quarantine for take out crowlers and food. The wings we delicious, fall off the bone perfectly cooked. We like the chili lime wings the best, sweet with just a little bit of spice that cuts through. The Juice is Loose crowler was so good we went back for a second one. The staff was super friendly and also respectful. People were wearing masks and came to greet you at the front door or out at your car. We'll definitely come back when we can actually go inside. read more

Came in for our first visit today. I've been following Valhalla on FB for a while. Not a big parking lot, but we hound a spot. Food and drinks were great, although we didn't actually get any beer this time. We had the scrapple fries, boneless wings and the buffalo chicken nachos, all of which were REALLY great. Hope to come back soon and try a few more items. read more

One of the best breweries I've been to! Not only do they have a great selection of beer, mead, and cider, the food is amazing! It's worth the Uber ride out there without a doubt!

Have gone multiple times with good food, and very average service. Tonight was the most unfriendly, and unwelcoming service. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

Stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon. Very nice place. Very friendly staff. Food truck out front. They offer wine, hard liquor, and beer (not just theirs). I had a sampler of their beer (all but the IPA's). They offered a variety of styles and I was able to find lots of choices In which I had an interest. The Double Belgian was excellent, if a little boozy. Their Lemon Moon Shandy was great for a hot day. Oh, the Butterscotch Porter tasted like it's name - I just wish it was a bit colder to really enjoy. Only downside was the parking was a little tight. If the place was very busy (say on a Saturday night) I can imagine it being crazy to find a spot. Their are three breweries in Elkton. Great places to stop if you want to try a number of local beers. Overall, highly recommend. The beer was good and the staff was friendly. read more

If you enjoyed laid-back atmosphere, good beer, and good food; this place is for you. Nice location with decent seating with a wide variety and selection of beer, ciders, and frozen drinks.

The beer was solid! Nothing that blew my mind, but all very drinkable. The food was great! I loved my sandwich and fries. We would have stuck around for more food and rounds if the staff knew how to wear masks properly or at all for their indoor service . . . stick to outdoor seating or skip if you're erring on the side of COVID caution. read more

My friend and I went to Valhalla for a few drinks after work The young lady who waited on us when we arrived was pleasant and very attentive. we were really not informed of a shift change because we would have tipped her. The bartender who came on to shift after her was friendly at first and polite but only attentive to his friends who were at the opposite end of the bar. It took several attempts for us to get drinks and to get our bill. We were ready to leave and tried several times to get his attention, unsuccessful.We will not be returning for sometime. read more

I have been to Valhalla Brewing Company on a number of occasions. Its a good night out. However, now that I have had time to think about it, I have mixed emotions about the place. #1. My friend and I went there for their Scrapple Fries. YA'LL NEED TO TRY THESE! THEY ARE SPECTACULAR!!! #2. We also ordered the Jumbo Lump Crabby Nachos. Everything about these were great but there was no JUMBO LUMP crab in them. There was crab, but it wasn't JUMBO LUMPS. #3. The best drink we had at Valhalla was the mead they offered. Valhalla does not brew this mead. Some other place makes the mead and I am going to go to that place to fill a growler with mead. A place named Valhalla should make their own mead if they are going for a Viking type of theme. In fact, Valhalla has lots of beers made by other brands and companies. Most breweries I have been to, you look at the beer menu and its mostly THAT BREWERY'S beers. Finally, the Valhalla beer I tried did not excite me. The mead I tried I totally want to drink again but it wasn't made by Valhalla. The nachos- I loved the way the chips, queso, old bay tasted all together but they skimped on the JUMBO LUMP like advertised on the menu and Matt the bar tender seemed too busy to talk to us. I feel very torn because I enjoyed the company, and food, and the mead that wasn't made by the establishment. read more

WOOOOOW! Wish I could give this 100000 stars. Everything was phenomenal!!! Started with wings, which were half priced tonight (Thursday) got the bama BBQ which is a white bbq. And then brisket tacos and fresh cut fries!!!!! All of the meat is smoked. Oh and also the beers are YUMMY!!!! Such a gem. 10/10 recommend! read more

Stopped by one night after a 11hr day. A older lady took my ordered and then added tacos on top of my order when I DID NOT even ask for it. She was rude about the situation and kept on telling me that I did. I payed for it and did not eat it. Never coming back. read more

The food was absolutely great. And we enjoyed the beer as well. But the service is definitely lacking. Seems like it's being run by a bunch of kids. There was no greeting. Little to no communication. And vulgar explicit music was being played over the speakers. read more

We stopped down with some friends who live in the area. It was full bit not overly busy. Their concept is pretty cool. It's all self order. They have a kiosk or you order at the bar. I wish that was a little more obvious but it's really easy to do. There was one server and she was friendly and busy, also very helpful. We had everyone of their beers and the Mead, all excellent. We had both flatbreads and 4 flavors of wings as well as the big(and boy is it) pretzel. All were excellent. Some of the best wings I've ever had. We live about an hour away and I can't wait to go back down there. If I lived close to this place I would probably be reported missing by my wife until she thought to look at Valhalla. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more
