I struggle with this review because I want to be fair, so I'll be generous and do 4 (even though today's visit garnered a 2 star rating). The first time I ate here I absolutely loved it. I had a salad and it was delicious. The next time we got the appetizer pretzel and it was great, as was the ribeye and kids meals we ordered. One day I ordered a prime rib sandwich to go, again, it was good. Today...the Chicken Martini. Umm. It was super soggy. I expected a crunchy crust. It was also bland. Drowned in a white wine Demi-glaze that more closely resembled a brown gravy with a slight lemon taste. I didn't like it at all. It was super expensive for what it was. At that price point I expect greatness, not mediocrity. Each time our servers have been friendly enough, but only the first time did we have attentive service. Our last visit we had to physically go hunt down our server to get refills and today I got one glass of tea, no refill. read more

It was a definite happening place. I loved the atmosphere. I ordered pizza and some beers. The pizza tasted pretty subpar and the prices were pretty steep for what I expected/got. It just tasted like a frozen pizza, like they used one kind of cheese or something - I don't know it just wasn't very good - and I really love pizza. The beer was good. Idk if I would really go back though since the food wasn't anything to write home about especially for the price. read more

We had the Chicken Alfredo Pasta and Wedge Salad with shrimp. It was all fresh and tasted good. Shrimp was sautéed with a Parmesan flavor. Pasta was loaded with vegetables. Serving sizes were generous. Service was fast. read more

Their pretzels are so good especially with the beer cheese. And you know I would say its extremely affordable for a pretzel that fits inside of a pizza box read more

Had a carry out order. Bartenders were polite and attentive. Good size bar with taps and tv everywhere. Food was tasty and hot. Free stickers were cool. read more

A little pricey but once you get past the sticker shock the food is incredible! Don't sleep on the lettuce wraps!

This isn't really a restaurant in which they cook food. It is a place where they serve stuff that comes from Sysco with minimal intervention from the kitchen. I regret trying to eat dinner here. If you want put calories in your face, and you want to do it in a sport's bar environment with a choice of beer, then this is your place. read more

Walking up and seeing the rifles for door handles was just the start of an amazing architectural and well decorated large space. A bar splits the restaurant and the kitchen is visible and open. Many tvs covering the walls were playing all the games. The western decor was nicely balanced with the modern industrial architectural design. Their also was a large dance floor off to the side. My first compliant was that their was no cocktail menu. Just a list of beer and the liquors behind the bar. So you have to bring your own bartenders bible to tell them how to make drinks. Not cool. Ordered calamari for appetizer and it including the sauce was spot on. My groups entrees were all excellent. The pizza was great. Overall a great meal and bright light in a sad dark town. read more

Not a brewery - sure they have like 2 or 3 of their beers on tap to qualify but they're really a tap house. Food looked so cookie cutter and bland that I didn't bother ordering anything and since the staff barely acknowledged my existence, despite the 7 or so that walked past me, I had no problem leaving. The ambiance in this place kind of reminds me of a fancy Applebee's. Nothing about it feels like a brewery or a local place. read more

Chloe was very attentive to our needs & answered our questions. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the chicken tortilla soup. I enjoyed this prime rib burger as the jalapeños added a spicy kick. Plenty of tvs for the sports- minded. read more

Very small menu and food is tasteless. I can say one thing I've had there are the Brussels sprouts and they are actually good! Outside of that, the food is not so yummy to me but it is a nice atmosphere. read more

This is a really hip spot to grab a meal with friends and family! I love the "lounge" area with big oversized leather chairs and couches to sit on while you wait for a table (not to mention the big oversized moose and elk heads!). the bar is also decorated really cool with hundreds of beer bottles used to make the light fixture. as for the food, yikes, the prices were higher than what I am used to for a typical brewery type place - but seeing as how this is Williston, and prices are higher here, I'm sure locals are used to it. I ordered the mushroom burger - 1/2 lb of meat and I devoured the whole thing! I'm usually not a big eater and usually don't finish my meal, but this burger tasted really good to me! and the fries were awesome too, crispy yet chewy at the same time. topped off with a pickle on the side, it was a great meal. and our server was super friendly too! ***edited to note that the fries I was served were different than the fries I see in other reviews. these were not the big, fat fries. they were skinnier and long. read more

Actually went to eat a meal with coworkers. It was packed. Server was nice. I ordered calamari appetizer to share with coworkers and a burger. I was clear about having the calamari on my check and that our checks were separate. Server messed up and said they had a lot of orders for calamari and in other words forgot ours but our burgers were ready and wanted to know if we wanted to calamari with the meal. I said yes and we all agreed. She brought it out and we discovered it was extremely salty..and I mean really salty. The burger came and was huge. All our burgers were huge. Good quality meat..however the red onions must have been sitting out too long..they were getting that unfresh beginning to wither look like they had been cut a couple of days ago and had been sitting out too long. The lettuce wasn't fresh tasting either. Now if it's that busy, they should have everything fresh right? Regular table mustard for a high end restaurant isn't good either especially when they spend a lot of money on brushed nickel salt and pepper shakers. I was anticipating Dijon or some other brown spicy mustard. So that was a disappointment. We ate that calamari but I let the server know about how salty it was when we started to ask for our checks. It was the batter so there is no way they could have done any differently. She would pass the info along to her manager. When it was time to pay the bill, she said they took care of the calamari for me. $16 plus change just for that appetizer. I was like 'cool'..didnt' expect it since we ate it. Turns out my discount was 50% so I asked about it. She said the manager split the discount with my check and my coworkers yet I was the one who ordered the appetizer so we were confused as to why they would give half off my coworkers check. The calamari was on my bill. That was not good you guys! read more

Awesome food! Good menu choices and options. Service was great. Atmosphere was good lots of tv's for u sports fanatics. Burgers everyone had were done to perfection. Stop by and give it a try. read more

Great service, excellent food. The Fillet was perfect, prime rib was fabulous. But oh, the pretzels were the bomb!

I have eaten at this hidden gem a half dozen times now traveling from across the state. Food quality and service is absolutely some of the best I've seen. The service at the bar rail is almost too good to believe. These ladies are amazing at what they do and incredibly polite and well mannered. They are RUNNING getting it done. Thanks for continuing to be a great experience. :-) read more

Surprisingly good place in this middle of nowhere town. I know why Phil Jackson left. But, if he returns, he should eat here. Friendly staff, excellent beer selection, and the food is very good. Tip - share the wedge salad with another, it's huge. The prices are pricey but not awful. Highly recommend. read more

The food is good. The service it great. Love the ambiance. My favorite food is the giant pretzel by far, one thing I do not like about is is OVER HALF of the place is a bar... not good for kids. read more

Here on opening night, immediately upon walking through the door I was impressed. Beautiful decor, modern and fun. Excellent choice of drinks. Roughly 40 beers on tap with another 60 in bottles. No selection like this anywhere in Williston. Then the food, oh what wonderful food. Only took the appetizer for me to know this is the best restaurant in town. Excellent appetizers, steak cooked perfectly and fantastic sides. (I recommend the creamed corn) Don't fill up because the dessert is not something to miss. A+ this place has it all, well done WBC! read more

Amazing food thank you for the great food, service, location, I definitely keep coming back thank you keep up with the great job. I appreciate you. I will bring my next party to you. The people of Williston appreciate you. read more

A delicious place to try here in Williston. Their giant pretzel is incredible.. like the size of a freakin pizza and the spinach dip is absolutely delish with the bread. Check it out read more

Beautiful establishment, however we would not went out of out way and stopped if we knew they did not even brew their own beer. Great tap selection, however we weren't looking for a tap house, we wanted a locally brewed beer. As somebody in the establishment described this town: " this town is a shit hole" and that is an understatement. When we went out to our car, we found that our vehicle had been tampered with, to the point if we took off without noticing, it would've caused damage. Fortunately, someone pointed it out to us and we were able to fix it before we took off. I can guarantee this will be our last stop in this "shit hole" and establishment. Not a safe or friendly stop. Oh did I mention that two appetizers, one soda, and two beers were $50 before a tip? The food was mediocre at best. read more

Super fast service, very friendly. The food was delicious. Where very accommodating Definitely would come back here again.

Finally got to check out the local brewing company and it was pretty good compared to other spots ive tried here in Williston. The parking lot sucks. This seems to be "the spot," so parking is scarce, especially with all the giant 4x4s everyone is driving around here. Walking in you feel like youve walked into a hunting lodge, never been in one, but I'd imagine this place is a great reflection of one. The crowd is mixed but overall casual; from "business" men in suites to families with young children to the Oil Men coming in from the fields, no one rrally gives a sh*t what youre wearing. Select beers are 1-2 dollars and pretty much anything you order is huge! Especially thier famous pretzel starter. I had the farm burger, it was a little dry but I would order it again. They have blackjack tables that open after 5 pm and large flat screens playing sports all over. I like the joint. I will definitely go back. Ladies... just a side note, come in groups or bring a male friend. Just saying. read more

Service is great. One thing I'd like to see is the mashed potatoes get BETTER! They taste a little like instant there. Maybe get some real mashed potato chunks in there? Maybe with some more garlic and herbs? Red potatoes always makes great restaurant side dishes read more

Service was very good. My husband enjoyed a flight of beer. Be warned...the appetizers may seem a bit pricey, but the quantity is huge. Calamari was lightly breaded and tender. The Asian lettuce wraps were very good, I had as my main course, and took more than half home. My husband had lasagna and took half home as well. Only downside was that there website seemed to be down. Was not able to view their menu prior to going. We stayed at the adjacent hotel. read more

Called in an order for two Bacon cheese burgers 15 minutes before closing and they were more than happy to make our food. There was no snobby attitude about it being so close to closing time. Just prompt, courteous, smiling staff when I picked up my order at closing time. Not to mention that the burger hands down was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time! This place gets an A++ from me. Definitely 5 stars no question about it! Thank you guys for your wonderful service and delicious food read more

Second visit to this establishment. First one wasn't great but decided to try again. Ordered a seasonal beer advertised on the flyer put on table but they were out. Ordered calamari but they were out. Spinach artichoke dip was lukewarm and didn't taste good. Got the ribeye with green beans and baked potato with a mushroom sauce. Ribeye was good, cooked correctly but barely warm. Green beans were either raw or shriveled black with stems still attached. Mushroom sauce was disgusting and very salty. Dessert was brownie and ice cream which was good. Spent $130 for two people. At least I was still hungry when dessert arrived. read more

sat and waited for our meal for an hr and then they came to tell us our order was lost so hay to wait for a hr for the food to come out then the food came out and the stake was cold and flavorless asked the manager for a discount and he sais that's just what it is will never be back worst flipping service ever read more

Great to watch games. Never had a bad meal. Sometimes service can be mediocre at bar. Bartenders are doing a lot and it leads to a few minutes longer than you want when you want their attention. Nothing major but happens more times than not on my visits. Food prices on the upper end of what you expect. Good food but 20-35% overpriced but it's Williston. Of course the prices didn't adjust during the downturn. It's always priced like Boom time. Again, good food and large portions. read more

This place was amazing!! We are from Alabama and this place was suggested to us as we were traveling. It was so good!! I got the jalapeño popper pizza. This thing was so good! Unique!! My wife got the pretzel and it was great also. Service was also great!! read more

Good chicken bbq bacon burger. Chill was good to. nice place for lunch or dinner. I would like to try other things.

After three different dinner visits, Williston Brewing Company (WBC) went from bad to horrible. Bad: December 18, 2013. Party of Five. The service was slow & not attentive. I only drink water w/o ice, but my glass was more empty than full. The food over priced. The food lacked flavor & presentation. I ordered the salmon & green beans w/ mashed potatoes, I can make better tasting food for half the price w/ ingredients bought from a local grocery store. Worst: February 26, 2014. Party of four. We started out at the bar & the bar keep was nice & honest to us. She showed us a list of specials that the bar was clearing out @$2.00 a bottle. When we sat down the waitress was not too suggestive to anyone of us & did not elaborate about any specials that WBC offered. The food arrived not as requested a medium rare New York strip was cooked well done & a medium well ribeye was cooked rare. Not impressive at all. Horrible: February 28, 2014. Party of five. We start by ordering drinks & an appetizer. When I asked about any specials from the bar the waitress says "No. We have no drink specials." One more round of drinks & a food order later, my water glass is empty & we are feeling pretty ignored by our waitress. She confused a refill order of ice teas with two sodas. She returns with two alcoholic drinks that we did not order. 45 minutes after we placed our food order, she informs us, after we inquire, that our food order was never entered in the first place. Upon hearing the news, we decided to leave & get some food from a fast food burger joint. As I paid for our drinks the waitress had the audacity to ask for a 20% tip as I wrote the tip amount on the ticket. Lady only got a 10% tip for walking to us water, tea, three beers & two shots. Overall, I do not recommend any young professional of non-European decent to visit WBC for dinner. I work for a multi-national oil company w/ EP operations on the Bakken. I office out of Houston, TX & I know what a proper steak house should be, and WBC is NOT a proper steak house. read more

Great selection of beers and the Farmhouse Burger is my favorite burger in town! Always great service and the food is always hot and fresh.

Just...average. Nothing great, but not terrible, either. I had the jerk chicken and it wasn't what I would consider "jerk" chicken. It wasn't spicy in the least bit, which was disappointing. The fries were better than the sandwich. The atmosphere was cool, but found the music odd. It went from heavy base dance music to keith urban. Server was nice and attentive, but I was also the only person there... read more

First time to this city. First night, we wanted to try a "brewery". First off, if you are coming for "their" beer, don't come here. True craft beer lovers will be disappointed. That being said, they have a great selection of other beers but a very very limited selection of "their" beer. Food was good, however they wayyyyyy over cooked my colleague's steak. Had to send it back for a true rare temperature. I had the Filet which was excellent. Now for the BIG positive: service was outstanding. Maybe it was because we sat at the bar, but the staff was super friendly. Even another server attended to us without our asking, to help close out our bill. Will def go back to try other items on the menu other than their steak! read more

Terrible service. After waiting over 30 minutes for food, found out our orders went to another table. And no apology. DON'T COME HERE read more

The place looks great. That's the one star. I'm giving it that as a yelp user WARNING! The food isn't fresh and the service was so so. I waited for my ticket for 15 minutes while three staff members were within eyes sight the entire time. I got the lettuce wraps. It wasn't at all what I expected. Looks like dog food. The menu states chicken and beef...its (ground beef) and both were extremely dry and chewy which is surprising, considering it was probably pre-cooked and sitting in soy sauce soup. Way too salty! Actually, I know it was pre made because it was brought out to me within minutes. The only prep was pour and quarter a head of iceberg lettuce. Aside from the disaster they call a kitchen or the food that they probably label as fine cuisine, the building is clean and there are TV's everywhere. Great decor and a large variety of beers. I should have ordered one considering my soda cost 3 dollars. I am impulsive and honestly want to give them another chance because the place is probably one of the nicest in Williston, but I felt ripped off from the garbage they served and would hate to get burned again with poorly prepped and bad tasting/quality food. At this point, the only saving grace would be a customer service oriented manager that respects quality and making the customer happy, replying and apologizing for taking my money and serving me dog food and then offering to feed me something better for free to earn my business. A good owner through this page would but only time will tell with this place..... read more
