We were excited to come back to 3West when they finally reopened after the tornado, but unfortunately our first trip back had room for improvement. My Think Pink drink was good, but overpriced. They don't have prices on the cocktail menu, and this felt more like a $9 drink than the $12 it turned out to be. My husband's beer was very well priced, I thought, at $6.50 for an IPA. My husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich. It wasn't tossed in buffalo sauce, just unevenly drizzled on top so the full sandwich wasn't covered. He asked for a side of sauce to finish the job and we were charged $0.50 for it. He was also charged $0.50 for a side of ranch for his fries. In general, I just don't agree with charging for condiments. I had the Alehouse Burger and it was fine. It had a bacon tomato jam so I thought it would be okay without condiments, but it was dry. It needed pickles. None of the burgers on the menu had pickles. Burgers should have pickles. We weren't given a kid's menu when we were sat, so I thought they didn't have one (it's a pub, I get it), and I tried to just order a side of mashed potatoes for my son. Our server was cool with it and was able to ring it in (because she later had to take it off the ticket) but the kitchen told her they don't serve individual sides which is very odd to me. You have a button for it on the POS, you can serve a side on an entree plate, so just put that amount on a side plate. It seems like a very easy way to cater to your customers. The sun really shines through those back windows in the evening. Some pull down shades would be a huge improvement. It's a beautiful view, but not when the sun is setting and blazing into your retinas. Overall, food was mid, prices were a little too high across the board, service, as always, was great. read more

3West Alehouse & Grill - Buffalo Chicken Sandwich - not fully covered in sauce and they'll charge you for more sauce - Sports Bars Near Me - Temple, Texas

Legit place ! We came here around noon the day of the superbowl as we read they had drink specials and 1$ wings. We were the only ones there for awhile so I was getting nervous as to why lol ... but the place filled up pretty quick . They had some giveaways on the Super Bowl, who doesn't like free stuff ! Nashville hot wings were HOT and bangin!!! The pulled pork fries were good too !! Our bartender was quick and friendly , the manager came around a few times to check on us and she was cool as well. Decent beer selection. I'd come back another time as they have a lot of beer, some mixed drinks and what seemed to be a pretty big menu ! Big place. Lots of seating. Lots of TVs. A huge 4 section 1 at the bar for game time read more

Good food. Good drinks. Relaxing environment. Temple and Belton need more places like this.

The food is always great, but tonight we had Amanda as our server and she was attentive, accurate and although they had a busy night, she was professional, prompt and kind. read more

Service was good, we had Dani, and the manager was fairly helpful and seemed to care. Our issue was the food. We ordered: Shredded BBQ Pork Loaded Fried - these were okay, some bites were super salty. Napa Burger w/ salad - patty was small and fat, and didnt fit the ciabatta bun at all. Very salty, and there was an overwhelming burnt char taste. Was very disappointed for an $18.00 burger. Salad had some pieces that werent just wilted, but decayed brown slimey leafs. They brought my burger out and completely forgot the side salad, had to ask for it. And they charge for ranch for the salad...odd. Pork Sliders - got these to go, Burnt buns and overall flavor has a charred salty taste to it Manager gave us a discount on our food, but it still cost $90.00 (granted, we ordered 4 beers). For the price, we are disappointed. Lots of room for improvement, and I hope to go back and try again sometime, but right now they need to make some changes. read more

3West Alehouse & Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Temple, Texas

The place is nice, but the food is awful. The fish batter on the fish and chips meal was super thin and bland. Not sure what type of fish they used, but it tasted awful. The bacon on the Mac n cheese was too sweet and the cheese was gritty, not creamy. The whipped feta dip was also sweet... barely tasted of feta at all. If you just want a drink, they have a nice beer selection. Otherwise, I would not recommend this place at all. read more

A special spot with great food, drinks, service and sports viewing. We went to see a Texas Tech game, the staff located station and showed the game. Moved games around on tvs for all guests. Enjoy the sports and fun time atmosphere! read more

The cook is unprofessional and he will try whatever in his power to convince you that it's good. Ordered a Philly and it was NOT a Philly. Waitress tried to call the cops on me because I didn't like how the food tasted. lol TERRIBLE. NEVER GOING BACK. read more

Waiter messed up our drink order, food order, and generally did a disservice to the establishment. Food was ok, wings sounded good but flavors we less than expected. Was a nice quiet place, with sports on TV and a casual dining experience. read more

My husband and I went here for our lunch date. Very nice and clean environment if slow you get to pick where you want to sit. They don't have sweet tea but they do have whiskey which my husband loves! They also have games on tv so you watch while enjoying nice conversations! 20/10 would recommend! read more

I've eaten here twice and both times were quite good. Service was good. Food was good.

Came for the food and stayed for the trivia game night. Had the best wedge, candied bacon salad I've ever had. Also had the candied bacon bit Mac and cheese. Wowee! The group that put together the music and trivia night did a great job. We had a great time and will be back when we are back in the area! read more

3West Alehouse & Grill - Mac and cheese with candied bacon SO good! - Sports Bars Near Me - Temple, Texas

My wife and I were really excited to come back to 3West, especially because they had just hired our favorite trivia host, DJ 5-Oh (Thursday nights @6:30). Smart move on their parts! t definitely means we'll be coming back for more than just the amazing atmosphere and great food. The service here is super! Esther was an awesome server - very attentive and friendly. The bartender, Stacy, made great drinks per usual. Just a real casual and inviting vibe, but with an upscale feel as well. The tables are all set with plates, glasses, and silverware and you are served a bottle of water for the table. Good stuff! The food was delicious. I was craving a burger and the Alehouse did the trick. It's a mouthful of tender beef, bacon, grilled onion, and scrumptious bacon jam. A nice smokey flavor. The fries are homemade and I recommend you get the house made ranch to dip them. My wife got the chicken fried steak, and it was light, fluffy, and chewy. Not your grandmas CFS! The mashed potatoes, however, are very much granny's recipe as they are lumpy alongside creamy. The green beans are seasoned very well, and overall it was a great dish. 3West Alehouse's first trivia night was so much fun! There were seven teams, a great turnout. Miguel (DJ 5-OH) KILLED ITTT. He's got a great feel for the room and there's trivia for all types because his categories are pretty varied. We got second place and everyone was pretty close till end. Can't wait for the next time, we will have to bring some more people! read more

Loved everything I had! I've had the wings, they were great! If you don't like spicy, get the Asian sticky wings! My kids loved them! We got the new tacos, and they were awesome! Another time I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and it was delicious! The melted cheese and toppings made for a great sandwich. Service was wonderful. They were very accommodating. The atmosphere was very comfortable. read more

John seems to be a nervous wreck instead of controlling the room. Food was dry. The cook Lawrence came and made it right

Stopped in on Tuesday, just as the Trivia Night got underway. Place was quite packed due to the regulars playing this game. Found two seats at the bar; bartender was quick to acknowledge us and get us menus and drinks. Ordered some wings and loaded fries. Wings had the Asian inspired sticky-sauce and the fries had been covered with pulled pork. Both very good and filling. Just so happened that Tuesday's is their 1/2 priced wing selection - bonus! Bathrooms were clean (especially with the amount of traffic it was receiving). Great vibe. Will return... read more

3West Alehouse & Grill - Thai Chile Garlic Wings. - Sports Bars Near Me - Temple, Texas

3West is a fun new addition to West Temple. It is a loud, busy and energetic place. They have above average service and excellent food. We've been through most of the appetizers and a few of the burgers. Everything from the Irish nachos to the wings are worth eating on a regular basis. The best part of the experience is the incredible flavor of the hamburger. The beef itself has a full rich savory flavor. It contributes to overall burger experience that, in a way, no other can compare to. Excellent place and we'll probably never have anything beyond the burgers again because they're so crazy good! read more

3West Alehouse & Grill - This burger was amazing, not because of the stuff but because of the crazy good beef! - Sports Bars Near Me - Temple, Texas

For a busy weekend night, the service was quick, servers were friendly, & the ambiance was lovely!!! A great spot for a group of friends & for a date night. Food was phenomenal!! Will definitely be back. read more

Great place to stop by and have a few drinks. Extensive beer menu although we had to change out initial order bc they were out. Bar food is good - wings/burgers/sammich type menu. Has a few unique menu items as well. Come, hang out with friends or loved ones and enjoy the ambiance read more

Our first time and we can't help but laugh at it. Way overpriced for the menu and area. The salmon above was $24. That's the entire amount of (way over-salted) food in the photo. My partner got the cob salad which was a lot of food but not cut up? So weird- two full pieces and bacon but no way to cut it up. Full hard-boiled eggs. The hostess was really sweet, she also brought our food. We only saw our waitress to take our orders and bring our bill- no one ever refilled our water (which was all we were drinking because they were out of the beer we wanted). Just a bummer of a dinner but at least the company was great! read more

3West Alehouse & Grill - Salmon $24 - Sports Bars Near Me - Temple, Texas

Be far the worst bar service I've ever seen. Walked in alone, looking to chill outside and have a few beers. Place not at all busy. Walked up to bar to see what they had, ordered a bottle and told bartender I'm going to sit outside, making sure I didn't have to leave an ID or CC for the tab. Sat outside, great patio. Enjoyed my beer and music. Waitress is in and out for another table. She saw me early, but never came over. Beer was done, so I pick it up and go back into the bar to get another. Standing at the bar, bartender sees me and just continues standing there talking. Wait a few minutes, bartender finally comes over to check on me. Head back outside, passing waitress in process. Sit outside, waitress still ignoring me. No other waiters on patio, she never again even bothers to look my way. Beer done, back in for another. Same sh-t, stand at the bar while bartender is yapping. Outside waitress sees me, moves on. Finally get another beer, head back out to patio. How does a waitress covering the patio see the only other person out there when she comes out and not think to just stop by and check if I need anything? Place has a nice patio, but not coming back. No sense in paying bar prices and having to constantly walk in to get refills. Bar seems like the place that hires family and let's the boyfriends hang around keeping the staff occupied. Plenty other places in Temple. read more

I have visited this place a few times over the past year, and all-in-all, favor it. It's a relaxed atmosphere, which I like, and the food has been consistent. I've had the fries and the chicken wings so far. Tasty all around. Place is comfortable and casual. Staff is casual. Some very, VERY casual. Which is fine. But it is nice to have a modicum of professionalism, which at least 3 staff-members manifest well. At my last visit, a worker from the back kitchen came out with his plastic cup, dipped it into the ice bucket, then filled the cup with some liquid. Wonder if he had been drinking from that cup. Kind of a health violation. That's why I NEVER order a drink that needs ice. Bathroom is clean, plenty of TVs and they are willing to change the channel for you if you request. Location is great, and there is plenty of parking. I will definitely continue to visit. Happy hour and wine Wednesdays are worth it as well. Keep standards high. read more

Great service! Which always sets the tone. Sat at the bar. Lots of chatter. Very lively fun & buzzing atmosphere. The beer was cold & our food was delicious. Bartender was chatty. Waitstaff smiling seemed to enjoy being there. Quick service & fast kitchen! There were a few kids there when we arrived so it's family friendly but they cleared out as it got later. Great spot! On our rotation for those Saturdays without those people down the hall. (Kids) I think you'll like it! *Cocktail options too for the non beer drinkers. read more

I came here in the fall for the temple Oktoberfest and it was great. Came here again today with some friends after a day at the pool (I was starving) i order the garlic fries and it took over 30 Minutes to come out. We sat at the bar and there were literally three tables in the restaurant (dude wth)They were a little to thick for my preference to so I wasn't able to enjoy them. They do have a good selection of beer. It is a really cool place and they do the Oktoberfest fest in the fall. read more

First time trying this place, Giving it 4 stars for the bar & atmosphere. I was not that impressed with the food. I ordered the mushroom burger with garlic fries. Burger was dry and fries kind of were as well. Husband ordered the mahi-mahi tacos. He says the Look was unappealing and over-salted, but the rice that comes with it is good. Lots of options for great craft beer and drinks, our server Graham was amazing and very tentative. Those two things is what made our experience good regardless of food tonight. read more

Madison B! Thanks for the great service !! The food was awesome the best Burgers in Temple!!! Ask for Madison B read more

Stopped in here for a quick drink. We were greeted and sat at the bar. Initially the bar staff seemed a bit put off when I asked what whiskey was on hand, but we were served. My wife went to the restroom and said it was very dirty. We ordered two old fashioneds, which were very good. The bar staff seemed to warm up a bit, but the overall vibe wasn't super inviting. Not awful, but honestly it gets old when you try to patronize local business and end up with a blah experience. read more

Two years ago I gave 3 West one star, today I'd like to change that to five stars. It seems to be back to normal...TVs playing sports, lots of people sitting at the bar, and the menu is more relaxed and not so frou-frou with pub food appearing again. The fish and chips are DELISH, and the beer is always good and cold. Thank you! read more

Jamye and her team are fantastic. I am a regular who orders an IPA and jalapeño poppers about 3 times a week and I enjoy the personal service, while also enjoying the privacy to read my book. Highly recommend the experience, food, and beer 3 West and Jamye have to offer! read more

We have been coming here for 4 years, and really used to enjoy it, but ever since they renovated and "revamped" the menu we have seen the food quality slowly decline. Tonight may have been our last time here, unfortunately. We were a party of 4 and all 4 of us had to change our initial orders due to them being out of chicken breast and chicken fried steak. 3 of us opted for the alehouse burger and fries and all of our fries were either really soggy or so over cooked you could break them in half. The burger buns were soggy. Everything was under salted and didn't have much taste. Another person ordered the broccolini and it was mushy and tasted chemically. We are really disheartened as we love supporting locally owned restaurants but the food has really gone down hill. read more

The majority of the menu is burgers, perfect for us since we love a good burger! I got the garlic fries and the Magic Mushroom Burger. Nothing was greasy which I feel like is hard to find in a restaurant. The fries were the best part of the meal by far, haven't had fries that good in years. Similar to Red Robin garlic fries yet zero grease! The burger was okay, the mushrooms and onions were salty and the burger itself was burned on one side. I could tell the meat was full of flavor but the way it was cooked left much to be desired. We will be coming back to try the wings! The service was friendly and the wait staff seemed very attentive. read more

3West Alehouse & Grill - Magic mushroom burger w/ garlic Parmesan fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Temple, Texas

So.... if they weren't blasting oldies to slow dance to on a Friday night on their patio.. this rating might have been better. I can't hear anyone talk... so I've just been nodding. Hence why I am writing the review.. lol The old fashioned is ... depressing. Very meh read more

We tried this place for the first time and in hindsight, we should've gone somewhere else.. The cocktails were the only positive experience about coming here. The food was overpriced, inconsistent, either under- or over-salted. My almost $20 burger that I ordered medium-rare was burnt on the outside. Our server checked on us one time not even 2 minutes after we got our food, then disappeared to chit chat with other staff members while we were trying to order another drink. It's very hard to create an atmosphere when you have music playing in the front AND back of house. This was all yesterday and I promise I'm not even exaggerating when I say I woke up early morning before the sun with stomach aches, nausea, and multiple trips to the bathroom. I fast during certain hours and this was the only thing I had to eat that day. Decent place to go have a few drinks but other than that I won't be wasting anymore of my money or time. read more

The food and drinks are delicious the wait time however not so good. There was one person at the bar and not that many people here. Bartender just needs a little more pep in their step. Bartender is the manager and the reason why drinks are taking 40 minutes is because she has to hand squeeze lime juice ‍ read more

Its just...ok. The beer selection is stellar...I nabbed a Dogfish 90 minute IPA on draft, which is damn near unheard of in the Austin area! Service was great, but it was also pretty slow for a Saturday. It's the food that was just meh. We're from Austin, so paying $16 (and more) for a burger is totally usual for us, but the difference is that it will be fantastic there. We don't mind paying extra...just make it worth the extra. 3West flat out didn't have the culinary chops to make it worth it. Truffle fries were over salted and soggy, the deviled eggs were runny, and the Brussels were soggy and over seasoned. Again, awesome spot if you're just in for pints but definitely wouldn't want to return for an actual meal. read more

Was excited to try a place that looked trendy and had a unique menu. Arrived to 2 total parking spots for the whole restaurant. They were taken, so we parked around back. Went in the back door, there isn't a host stand so we just kind of stood there and slowly walked up toward the host stand on the other side of the restaurant before just seating ourselves. Wasn't very busy, there was more staff than patrols on a Saturday at dinner. Seemed to have a great alcoholic beverage selection. Menu was detailed but prices were a bit heavy. Cheapest meal item is a burger for $16. My date attempted to order a burger but change her side. She was told that they could do no substitution. She was told she could pay the full price, $6 for the side and it would still come out with the original side which stand alone is $2 less than the side she ordered. A restaurant with a reasonable business model would upcharge for a subbed side. Requesting no substitutions is reasonable in catering and in chef made dishes. Not a burger and fries. If sonic can give you tots or onion rings instead of fries, so can 3 West. If you are worried about food costs when your prices are already one of the highest in town, maybe don't be in the food business, you'll never have to worry about food costs again.. Maybe you'll be able to get some rest. For some reason, this kind of irked my date and I can tell. She didn't want a bunch greasy fries, she wanted vegetables. You start with an empty plate. Charge for burger and side is $16. If Fries are normally $4 and the broccolini is $6 then naturally if you have any reasonable sense for service, you would charge $18.... Maybe I'm crazy. Anyway I was gonna order the fish and chips but I could see the instant buyers remorse on my dates face after ordering at a restaurant.. kind of unsettling. So I told the waitress right after she walked away from taking our order to cash us out for the drinks, that there was an emergency. The emergency of me not gonna spend any $ there. Well, I spent $3 on a soda. Which I got a to go cup for. The atmosphere was decent. The servers were quick and pleasant and seemed to know the menu well. This is a clear ownership/ business model issue that doesn't appeal to the common consumer, just the typical bar nut that likes trivia night. We left and went to Backporch Drafthouse and it was a 5 star experience. Don't 3-Waste your time or 3-Waste your money at 3-West. read more

This place is phenomenal! Vira and her crew bring a special touch to temple in our very own restaurant row in the strip! I love 3West & LaRiv! Salads are fabulous & tapas are unique--to die for! Thank you for thinking outside the box! read more

We began coming back after their relaunch at the beginning of summer and the food, service and drinks were good again. Tonight we went for dinner and the service was absolutely horrible. I had to walk to the bar to get my drinks because the server was too busy, even though there was one other table in the restaurant with 3 waitresses. When the food came out, my chicken fried steak had obviously been sitting in the window a while as the sides were all room temperature. I finally had my food after my entire table was done eating. My wife ordered a drink before the food came but didn't get her drink until she was done eating, again one other table in the restaurant with 3 waitresses. This will be my last time at 3 west ale house. There are too many competitors to be this complacent with service. read more

Wow this place is hands down the worst place I've ever been to. Ordered take out and got burnt/dry food. When I call to complain no one helps instead they tell me the owner is the only one who can help and that she would call me. Never received a call back. The worst customer service and food. The owner should focus more on the restaurants she has versus continuing to open up more restaurants up, Don't go here if you want to be treated with respect. They really don't care for their customers. read more
