We finally checked out Vodoo Brewing after hearing rave reviews, and the vibe did not disappoint. Great atmosphere on a rainy afternoon, Brandy behind the bar was an absolute standout- friendly, upbeat, and on top of everything. The beer list is excellent, with plenty of local options. They were out of scouts, but Good Vibes and Love Child were both delicious and spot-on. The food, though, missed the mark. We split the Steak Salad and Caprese Pizza. The salad came out with barely any greens (Brandy handled it gracefully), and the pizza was bland with a crust that just did not deliver. Bottom line, awesome service, great beer, fun spot for drinks and events but the kitchen needs some love before it becomes a go-to for lunch or dinner stop. read more

A new neighborhood gem. Don't let the old reviews scare you off, every new business needs time to work out the kinks and Voodoo's owner Chris is figuring it out. Nice, clean atmosphere, fantastic live music, good drinks and tasty food! Ask for Tyler! I'll caveat my review saying that our first time in was on a very busy Saturday night in the midst of Christmas party season. The place was BUSY, atleast 4 different company parties, no less than 50 checks open at once and people walking in all night, so seating was limited for 2-4 tops but we were sat right away at a community high top. Our initial server was not great. We sat atleast 10 minutes waiting for drinks that we could see at the bar and another 15 waiting to just place our food order. The live music was good or my husband would have left. I ended up asking another server, Tyler, for help as I thought our server was overwhelmed. Tyler was PHENOMENAL! This man was hosting, serving, running food, busing tables, in between taking care of his own tables and others. He never stopped moving, never complained and got us taken care of. What started out as a bit of a frustrating experience was completely turned around by this guy. So let's get to the food and the drinks. We ordered beers and the Pub Chip Nachos to start. I don't have any photos of the nachos because we ate them so fast! They were that good. The whole thing was perfectly cooked, beer cheese was warm, chips were crispy, pulled pork juicy and a good portion. For dinner, we got the Pear Dragon and the Honey Old Fashion specialty cocktails with the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos which were also good, shrimp was a little overcooked but the flavor was there and again good portion. I ordered the Foodoo Burger with fries (after finding out the wings were sold out), it was cooked perfectly pink, melted cheese and Cajun ranch were a nice touch. The specialty cocktails menu was impressive and both drinks were really good. We're glad we ignored the reviews and came in. If you're worried about service due to old reviews, ask for Tyler or flag Chris down, hes out amongst his customers and checking tables often. Overall, a good addition to the area and I can't wait to see Chris and his team further settle into the place! read more

Took a trip to Voodoo Brewing to see some live music and it was a good find. I had a bacon blue cheese burger which was very good. They have various beers to choose from and a full bar. There appears to live entertainment on a regular basis. A very friendly wait staff in a laid back restaurant. It was a ride for me but worth the trip. read more

Fun place, great beer, attentive service and awesome vibes! Our group of 6 had a great time!

This has been a place we've wanted to check out for quite some time. I really don't know why it took so long? From the outside it may not look like much, but like a lot of things, looks can be deceiving. Inside the place really opens up. All seating is open with no booths. It really gives it a more casual look. The decor is quite eclectic with what appears to be custom artwork. There is seating outside as well. And it would appear that on cooler days they'd open up the 2 garage doors. We went on a Saturday night, so there was some live music. They also had a large TV with the game on. I did notice another TV inside but it wasn't on. Service was rather quick considering how busy they were. In fact, our server noticed that the person who had our area had not stopped by. Her remark was that she didn't want us to wait too long and offered to get our order. I was impressed by this. They had several beers on tap. I apologize for not having the menu. And they had some specialty cocktails. I got the cherry passionfruit mule. And my date got a guava beer. Both were very refreshing. Since the kids were with us our order was large. The girls got a grilled cheese sandwich on Texas Toast and some chicken stripe. Both orders came with fries. They do not have a kids menu but can make some reasonable changes. I ordered a non-menu item special which was a brisket sandwich on a hoagie roll with their coleslaw slaw and pickles and fries. Pretty tasty, but I think I would have liked to have a bit of BBQ sauce. The brisket had a nice smokiness to it, tender, and plenty of slices. My date had a chickpea veggie burger. Now that's something you don't find very often anywhere! It was served up with their housemade chips. I did try a bite of her burger. It was actually very good but probably not something I'd order. There were several other veggie options. The menu had several pizza choices, burgers, and salads. I had thought about getting their Philly but she got me on the brisket. Service was done just right. No hovering and just enough to let you know she was taking care of us. The place looks to be great for large crowds. I would imagine you'd be better off with calling ahead. It can be quite loud inside. Parking looks to be ample. I say drive out to it and check it out for youself. read more

Best thing about Voodoo was the service. Had the most pleasant and attentive server. Would come back just because of her. Beer was good and so was the food. Had the Lacto cooler sour and it was sour apple perfection. Very smooth and refreshing. We ordered a burger, wings and the pub nachos. Wings were OK but would not get again. Not a lot of heat and just average. The burger was great. Bacon was nice and crispy and a kick of blue cheese. The burger was cooked very well and this was a winner. The top of the pack was the nachos. They used the homemade chips and put pulled pork, bbq, cheese sauce and jalapeñoson top. Crunchy, cheesy and with a nice kick of BBQ. These go great with a beer and nice to share with a friend. Enjoyed Voodoo and will be back. read more

The inside is large and airy with art work lining the walls. The bar area is boring and a lot more employee interactions take a lace here than customer ones. It's a clean and well maintained restaurant/taproom, with the bathrooms being some of the cleanest I've seen in a while! There is a large outdoor patio as well. The music was at a good volume with a good assortment of tunes playing. The VooDoo brand beers wear ok. I particularly liked the one called Beach Gear. Did not care for one called VooDoo Love Child. Some seemed to have a metallic after taste. We asked for a cocktail menu and it listed an old fashioned with locally sourced maple syrup.. I asked the bartender because in Florida that seems a little impossible. She stated that was for Pennsylvania and they didn't even have that drink anymore. The liquor they serve is only the ones made by VooDoo. The bourbon is called a bourbon American whiskey and it's blended. It's not an enjoyable drink for me and I like bourbon. I was also confused as to why when I ask about a VIP club that I signed up for online and received a confirmation email about, I was told they no longer had one. That there was some sort of club but it came with a cost. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Overall we may or may not go back to try the food and have another beer. It just doesn't stand out like some places we go to. Probably a good place to hang out with a group. read more

So I'm am so late at this review but it is well needed. For one this place has a nice set up . There is plenty of room and is family friendly. I was greeted upon entering and engaged with conversation throughout my time there. Nice music was being played while there. Let's get to the food. When I tell you finger licking good, it was just that ( shout out to the chef!!!) I ordered the fried corn ribs and loaded fries. It did not disappoint. Delicious! I will have to make sure to try more items on the menu. They have vendors that come out, and live music. This would definitely be a great hang out spot for family, friends or just to get away. This place is a must visit. read more

Sat out on the patio, which is dog friendly. Casual vibe, had karaoke inside, but wasn't too loud. Our server was busy with the event going on inside, but made sure we had everything we needed. The pickle pizza was good, not too overpowering with the pesto base. Pretzel and wings were standard pub fare. The owner Chris made a point to stop by the table and introduce himself. The real highlight for me was the extensive list of beers on tap, they have a beer for every taste. In particular the PB&J Mixtape sour is amazing, tastes exactly like an Uncrustable, lots of beers try but this one nails it. Definitely worth a try, we will definitely be coming back! read more

Food was ok... had a steak and cheese, just a tad burnt along with the fries. The bar tender was never smiling and didn't want to serve us since we were at an outdoor table. There was one server and we were left alone for 25 min having been done with our food long ago. Never returned with our ranch. Pizza was good, pickle pizza! Just disappointing the service was so bad when there was hardly anyone there at 10pm at night read more

Voodoo Brewery is new in the Valrico area. This trendy place offers up tasty beers and food in a no frills setting. My wife and I went here with some friends for dinner. A nearly 30 minute wait on a Friday night. Limited low-top tables contributed to this. Being open about a week now, you can tell the service routine is still being worked out but everyone was super friendly and welcoming. We have a two year old and they don't have their high chairs yet. The hostess who sat us said it's because they just opened a week ago. The chairs are also not the comfiest. I'm not wide but I couldn't sit all the way back due to the design of the chair. Brights lights and an open room with a high ceiling didn't give a cozy comfy feeling. It feels like sitting in a warehouse. The beer was good. My buddy and I got flights. I tried their light beer, a sour, an IPA and a brown ale. All were good with unique flavor profiles and reminded me of getting beer at a craft brewery. The sour was my favorite. The food was tasty and we liked their dedication to higher quality ingredients. I got the cheesesteak. My wife got the pickle pizza. My buddy got the poblano chicken tacos. The flavors were there. Seasoned well and at some points a little much. The house made chips were excellent but over seasoned with Cajun that lead to me not finishing them. $215 for dinner at the new brewery in town seemed a bit steep for me considering what we got. I'd go back again but $15 for a pretzel and $14 for 3 tacos with no side will have me considering other places first. read more

What can I say? Absolutely approve of this place. New owner, Chris, has really done a great job and his flexibility with trying new dishes on the menu is much appreciated. Atmosphere: Super clean with an open kitchen concept. The inside has beautiful artwork and there are small tables and communal tables throughout. There's also seating outside and a decent size "yard" to let the kids play. Service: A+. Everyone is kind and accommodating. We came on opening day and really appreciate the transparency of our server, Tyler, who let us know that it would be a few for food. Food: Better than you average bar food. The wings are delicious and Chris is always putting something new on the menu. Anything BBQ has amazing flavor! Drinks: Solid beer choices and they have cocktails, win win! Highly recommend, swing on by for some great conversation, a little art adoring, and some good food! read more

My girl and I came here for the first time and we were told no tables were available for atleast an hour because a large party was coming. No big deal but we were hungry so we decided to go elsewhere. As we were walking outside the hostess comes out after us and says a table is available. We go back inside. Another girl approached us and stated the table was not available and the wait was still gonna be over an hour. We explained what happened and the girl just had us come back in because a table was available and she said "no she was wrong a table is not available." I then asked if we could eat at the bar. The girl said that was also unavailable. At first we were understanding but now it becomes an issue because we are getting jerked around. Get your story straight before you give customers the runaround! read more

Popped in on a Saturday evening, luckily found a spot at the bar. Ordered their beers- they were so good! They have a nice selection of food- we got the Founders pub chip nachos and three little pigs pizza, both were delicious and came out nice and hot. They had live music which is a plus. This place is spotless and the owner came around and introduced himself to everyone. We definitely will be back to try other menu items. read more

My husband and I have our normal go to breweries and after driving one day we found Voodoo and had to try it. I would say it's not very family friendly and they don't have high chairs (which is fine, some breweries do and some don't) I just know we won't go there again with the whole fam lol. It was also salsa night so that turned out to be cool. The kids loved all the lights and music. Other than that the beer selection is 10/10 and I had to get a flight because I couldn't choose between all the beers! Such a good selection. We will have to go back for a date night. read more

Food was fairly bland. If I went back I'd probably stick to appetizers. Had to ask for salt & pepper, but thankfully most foods are easily fixed with a little seasoning. Didn't order any drinks. Side note, doesn't seem very friendly for elderly people or children. Chairs are pretty uncomfortable (metal) and I heard them tell a young family that they didn't have high chairs. Would not recommend for small children or adults that would prefer comfortable seating. read more

Assortment of beer for a flight and food especially the fries were sooo good! I wish I lived closer because I would be here all the time. Chris the owner was very pleasant and personally checked in and said hello. Wall art is fun and nice open lay out. I sat at the bar and the Bartenders were very friendly and attentive. My only complaint, maybe because I am short but the barstools weren't very confortable. I would have stayed longer if my legs weren't falling asleep. Note to self I will sit at a table instead next time but I do prefer to sit at the bar to people watch. Overall, family friendly and lovely place. I will be back! read more

We stopped by after speaking with owner one day when closed and he was painting tables. The space is large with 2/3 high tops. We picked low top out of the sunsetting. We waited a bit for service and when she did show up told us she just got here. We started with a flight of seltzers and one amber and Wynonna Brown Ale and a pretzel. Our pretzel comes out and one seltzers is listed as available and on deck did not have so changed to Strawberry seltzer. She returned once again to say they were out of Wynonna Brown so changed to Tag and Release. She brought us Red Right Return as Tag and Release was out. The RRR was ok but not great. Our pretzel was good mustard also very good, we did not care for the beer cheese. I think because she came in and was pushed to serve tables without a list of available taps. The lack of communication was obvious. She was doing the best she could. The space has doors painted with colorful murals. The high tops are in rows and low tops are spread out. The sun set is an issue for many patrons, we saw several change tables. The low top chairs have weird sides and are a bit uncomfortable, would not enjoy sitting for along time. We gave it a good effort but not sure we will return. read more

Short and simple review. This would be a 5 star if the prices weren't so steep. A black and blue burger was $18 and change with a side of chips... fries were $2 extra. Although it was delicious, our bill for 2 people with lunch and 2 drinks each was $80 before a tip. Other reviews about service seems unfair because this place just opened. My service was impeccable and even had the owner introduce himself and told us he would make anything that was wrong, right. Overall, would recommend. Just be prepared to spend money. read more

The service was impeccable! The beer was refreshing ! The vibe is very relaxed and cool. I ordered the corn ribs and loaded bbq fries . The corn ribs are SO good!!!!!!

Stopped in for late snacktails with my team from work, the food was amazing. Cocktails are fabulous. We had a strawberry smash with whisky & a margarita, the purple one!!The owner, chef, and waitress provided excellent service and background about the restaurant. We started with the spicy crab bites and the nachos for appetizers, followed by pork tacos, a turkey blta sandwich, a bowl of hummus, and chicken poblano tacos. They even brought us their whiskey, & tequila to sample-then a little pork belly, followed by guava cream cheese empanadas. The venue itself would be great for a crowd, I can't wait to go back to listen to live music. Excellent food great prices. read more

Trash brewery, trash service. Their own beer is absolutely horrible and they even tap the wrong kegs and label it as something else (see trash service). Voodoo is a commercial brewery that is of the same breed as Applebees - if you want horrible beer, horrible food, and horrible service without a trace of resemblance of the local culture than try the commercial cesspool that is voodoo. The only positive is their artwork lol read more

Seems like it would be more of a family friendly brewery, it is definitely not at all. No high chairs or kid menus. Whatever, I get it, it's a brewery, but when we waited for over 10 mins with no one servicing us, we left. Probably will never go back. read more

Food is a ten for sure. Crab Won ton apps- delicious, pinwheel steak- great. I love the food so I am tolerant to the rest. Waiting to be seated- too long to be acknowledged. Not that busy to have so much confusion. Didn't seemed to have one designated host. Seemed to be lots of confusion as to who Was our waitress. Took a while to get our order placed for drinks, lost with the drinks, etc. lots of confusion. Not sure if it was our girls first job or not but we remained patient. We were afraid to let her go so we said we are ordered both our app and dinner but don't want them arriving together but of course we got it all together. Asked about dessert and she went to check. Instead came back with the bill and still didn't know what was the desserts. But can't complain too much when the food is that good. I hope the rhythm gets better. Also, beers are expensive. Nice if they had somE beer specials. $7-$9 beer mostly. They also had live music which was nice but a little loud for talking to my date. read more

Well limited staffing and service took longer. But it was fine. We ordered food and the food I bought had white rice and it wasn't cooked at all. My GF's burger which was ok but salty. But when we told the server, they said they would address it. Owner walked in and apologized and we were fine until then. We didn't care as if it happens at times but later the chef walked to the bar top and was giving weird look to us as if we did something wrong. Dude either learn to cook and accept it's your fault, don't be too smart to act to show u r something awesome. This review is just for that chef who is 6ft tall to think he did something great that we freaked out. Owner was good but I'm sorry that you picked a shitty chef and thinks he is awesome.
