It was a fabulous start for SD! read more

Every time i'm back in town I always make it a point to come here a couple times. I'm always glad to see this place succeed and if I can help spread the good word and share some great photos I'm here for it. What's particularly good this time, is they have upped there game with a new chef. The food wasn't bad before but now it seems like the taste of the dishes have been upped another level. The time i've been here to grab some food I would give the dishes 5 stars each. I tried their hamburger of the week, that was so good; probably one of the best i've had. They had a bacon jam, two types of cheese with one of them deep fried like a biscuit. Of course the buns were soft. What a stellar burger. Their pizza was almost as tasty as their burger and maybe not to that of Dempsey's but nothing to be ashamed at and I wouldn't hestitate to order again. They a variety of beers the produce and i'm not a much of a beer person but any of their wheat drinks are good. This place I would say would be better in winter but is a fine place to come and hang out for food and conversation and sometimes they have someone playing music which is a nice added touch. read more

Had the HOUSE TOTS ! Amazing ! Homemade! So good ! Highly recommend! And the lemony taste of the lemon shandy was fantastic!

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and great food makes this a wonderful place to enjoy a meal! Only negative that I can think of is there's no private parking lot, just street parking available. read more

Customer service was so friendly and quick! We got cheese curds here (12$) It was really good, hot, fresh, and super quick! For 12$ appetizer you would think you share it with friends and everyone would get more than 3-4 pcs. I shared with my partner and we each got 3 pcs. the alcohol selection was vast and the space was cozy for the downtown area! I would come here again read more

Well worth the drive from the interstate. Excellent food and service. Try the walleye tacos and tater tots.

I tried the BBQ pulled pork pizza and would definitely eat it again. I was pleasantly surprised by the interesting food options available; a better selection than at most bar and grill restaurants. The Hellinger IPA, while not overly hoppy, was smooth and very tasty. The waitresses were friendly and attentive. There is live music every Wednesday evening after 7:00PM with no cover charge. Overall, just a really enjoyable place to meet friends and get some great food. read more

Super fun brewery stop! Don , the owner, was over the top personable and welcoming. This was the first time we had been here, and he made us feel like a regular. He offered us sample after sample while explaining the process of making his beer and food. Highly recommend stopping! read more

Hit this place while heading home from Sturgis, SD. It was a Friday evening and the place was pretty empty. This was also during the health crisis of 2020. This evening I had their WBC burger with fresh hand cut fries. After a day of riding it hit the spot. The beer. These guys nailed it. They have a full selection of beer styles: IPA, lagers, pilsners and sours. Looking forward to stopping by again when I pass thru. read more

Soooo good. We got the walleye bites with sweet potato fries and Parmesan Fries=delicious! I got a beer flight which beer was great. However the beer needs to colder (put glasses in freezer even the tasting glasses). We will definitely be back read more

Beer flights are great! Food and service was okay. Had the steak tips which were just okay and fries but every single fry on my plate was about an inch big. I definitely was given the last of the bag so most were cold as it took a long time to eat baby fries. read more

Food was incredible, as was the atmosphere, beer and service! This is a "must" in Watertown.

The food was nothing special and the atmosphere was not much to enjoy either Service was just ok read more

Great homemade food! Impressive array of beer choices. Comfortable atmosphere. I've been here a few times and I believe the owner waited on us each time-very friendly guy who was helpful and informative. Will def be back here again!! read more

What a difference a decade (almost) makes. 2016 charcuterie board looked like this. Now, polar opposite. Didn't even take a picture it was so disappointing. Apparently, sandwich slices from Walmart are what people want. The beer is worth trying. read more

Watertown Brewing Co. - This was a tasty and impressive treat. Sad it's gone. - Breweries Near Me - Watertown, South Dakota

Nice brewery with really good pizza from the spent grains! They even accommodate us wine drinkers!

Great service! Clean and open atmosphere and my Chislic was excellent! The price wasn't bad either. I'll be back!

I love the variety of beers!! The staff is welcoming and go a great job explaining the beers.

This place made me want to start a Yelp account. I can't say enough good things about this place. I came up here for work and decided to stop at a local brewery. The beer was great and the bartender seemed to know a lot about all of his beers (always a good sign...) or as he put it when I asked for his opinion - "I've got lots of those!" One of the brewers came out and started getting other customers and my input on the beer and we started throwing out ideas for other beers they could try. After a beer and a couple samples, I decided it was time to try some food. I ordered the chislic (a South Dakota specialty) with parm fries. It was fantastic. The chislic and toast were seasoned very well. The parm fries weren't anything amazing but they weren't bad either. From what I heard from one of the regulars, the tots and cheese curds are delicious. But the reason they made me want to start a Yelp account is due to their service. At a time where businesses are struggling to find people to work, these guys were polite, hard working, and fantastic. I can't recommend stopping in here for beer and a conversation enough. read more

Food was ok. I had a 6oz steak that was 2 oz of fat and grissle, my wife had the burger which was 'fine'. Tiny, itsy bitsy portion. I had a side of tots and got 4. Yes, four tater tots. Our beers were a tad on the bland side. We got a forgettable ale and my red was 'fine', just not a great experience. Staff was the highlight. read more

One of our favorite go-to downtown spots. Great rotating menu of their own craft brews. Food Menu has something for everyone. Service is always exceptional. read more

What an absolutely phenomenal surprise! I wish I had pics but we were starving after driving all day and ate too fast. I wasn't sure how much gluten-free stuff to expect at a brewery (since beer = gluten) but MY WORD they absolutely STUNNED. We shared the house smoked chicken wings and the house tots. (I am not Celiac just sensitive, so not sure if the tots have any flour, I did not ask, which our server confirmed as well.) We then split the Philly Cheese Steak on their gluten free bun which... is homemade. Yes. Homemade gluten free buns. AND they are corn-based, and taste a lot like cornbread. So, juicy roasted meats, peppers, cheese, on a cornbread bun!?! YES. This was not just a "good gluten free" (possibly low gluten) meal, but just a delicious meal, period. Unfortunately I could not have a beer but got a pineapple hard cider that was delicious - the server did miss a chance to upsell me on another one of those before we finished eating. Also, the sweet chili sauce for the wings was a little weird. Not sure if I would get that again. I was picturing Thai sweet chili sauce, but this was... white? It was odd, but not awful, and the smoke flavor of the wings came through. Next time I'll do classic Buffalo. read more

After a long days drive, we stopped for chicken tacos. They were smokey flavored and yummy! My husband has the sirloin tips, nicely seasoned, he rated them very good. read more

This is our second trip here and they didn't disappoint. Had the chislic with homemade cheese curds. OMG the cheese curds were fabulous!! Creamy with a hint of spice, amazing. The chislic had really good flavor, if I had a complaint it would just be bigger chunks of chislic, however even this is minor. Will definitely be back. read more

Outstanding brewery. friendly service. These people know how to pair flavors. The burger was an excellent piece of beef. Juicy and flavorful. Excellent sweet potato fries with amazing dipping sauce. If you come you MUST get the cheese curds!!!! These are the most amazing cheese curds I've ever had. There were 3 types of cheeses in them. My personal favorite was the pepper jack. I wish I could have chosen to have them all be pepper jack. Last I had the smoked chicken pizza. It was a grainy crust as advertised. The flavors were good but I just didn't care for the pizza. What a gem to stumble upon. Just get the cheese curds read more

Great place to enjoy some good craft beer. The fish tacos were great. Highly recommend this place!

Very honest review. The beer is always good and I have nothing bad to say about it. The food has gone down hill.... Two years ago when we were here the food was off the charts and today, a Saturday at noon, the food was below expectations. Two years ago the owner pride himself on the best ingredients, today I got a bison burger with a craft single on it, I asked for cheddar cheese. The burger was extremely small and very over cooked, again nothing like what we experienced a few years ago. The fries should have been double fried but were not and were very soggy. We ordered a cheese quesadilla for our daughter and it also had a craft single on it.I really hope they turn this ship around and pride themselves on their food again. Service was great and friendly. read more

The best cheese curds I have ever had in my life. Hand battered before they are deep fried! Melt in your mouth!! Hungry Dumpty sandwich was very good & the chicken slider 3 variety was delicious! Flight of beer: zombie (mead) was wonderful & not overly sweet. Irish Red was also a hit! A must stop if in the area!!! read more

Bonnie Taylor and and Michael are very personable. Great beer and selection. Great decor.

We tried the pretzels, the cheese curds and the cubed steak basket (can't remember the name for it) with the sweet potato fries. We just shared them all around. It was delicious!! I would like an IV of the chipotle ranch dip, please. I would have dipped everything we ordered in it. I just didn't discover it until the meat arrived. My one complaint was that the soda came in cans. I'm a none beer drinker, so I enjoy my free refills on the soda while my hubby enjoys the beer selection. But if you drink beer then it's not an issue. We would definitely be regulars if we lived in town. Yum! read more

Excellent stop for beer and food on our trip to Watertown. The primary beers were really light for the typical SD patron, but we really enjoyed the food. Highly recommend the cheese curds (large gooey chunks with a light batter) and the Asian Excellence wings. read more

Went to their 'date night' dinner tonight! Sooo good. We loved the low key atmosphere, the food and service were all top notch. Food: veggie beef soup, salmon, asparagus and fantastic peppermint macaroons!! read more

Only had the beer. It was great. Cool place with a good selection of House and guest taps. They make a coffee oatmeal stout which is exceptional. The IPA and ambers are also solid. The food looked good and is prepared in a open kitchen. read more

Pretty yummy. Loved the cheese curds and that is coming from a resident of the Wisconsin Cheese Curd Capital!! Deep fried pickles were spicy and the sliders were awesome! The Kampala Kold Press was a great coffee beer! read more

WBC is most certainly open! Don serves up great brews, food and stories. It's a must stop! Whoever posted this as closed is just looking to keep this place a secret. Stop in, relax, and great a bit of local history. We were able to infuse hops into an IPA. Who does that!?! read more

Love this place! Beer is great, food is great! And they won't let you buy a beer unless you try it and like it first! Definitely try it out

The best brewery in the state. We love Watertown Brewing Co. the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Try a flight and some food too.

The owner came to our table and offered us some awesome beer. Super friendly and great flavors of beer. Highly recommended
