Really!! Are you serious??? Why is this called Wilderness Brewing Company, when the food is as amazing, if not more amazing than the beer?? It is obvious the name does not tell that you get much more than you expect from a "brewery." The beers are completely unique, and the food is, without a doubt, fresh and made from scratch. We came here on a Wednesday night...A WEDNESDAY NIGHT...and it was packed by 5:30!! By the way, the chicken wings are not chicken wings as far as I can tell!! They are some sort of gourmet, delicious chicken on a bone, that has been stripped of all fat and made to perfection and literally falls off the bone!! If you do not try this place, are a total idiot!! read more

Disclaimer: I only had drinks, no food. I arrived on a Thursday at 5:30 PM and couldn't find parking. On the threat of getting towed if I parked in the hotel lot next door, I went across the street. There wasn't any empty seats at the inside bar so I sat outside in the beer garden. I asked could I share a table with 2 other gentlemen who let me. Pets are allowed in the garden. There seems to be a lot of waiters, which is good. When I asked one about the Wi-Fi password, he said they didn't have Wi-Fi. I found an "azwb" so either waiter was wrong or they don't have free Wi-Fi. Isn't this 2015? I had the 5 beer flight and I enjoyed it. read more

Speaking from a food standpoint their food is amazing. Flavors are delicious! However, their prices are a little high for the amount of food. Expect to wait for a table if you go, but it's worth the wait. read more

I am obsessed with the pb and jalapeno jelly burger. I always get that bunless with the goat cheese beat salad. It is fire! You can upgrade to grass fed beef. If your into healthy check it out. If your just looking for goodness the duck fat fries are on point as well!! read more

Not making the long trip again. They used to have one of the best burgers in town but last weekend was such a disappointment. You can definitely tell they switched beef from a new provider as the flavor is gone. 2 out of 3 of us ordered med rare and the other ordered med. we all got medium well done. Bad beef bad cooks but still a really good beer, but we would make the drive because the food was top notch - bummer. read more

Great food, great beer, and great service. The servers were extremely knowledgeable of their beers and they took pride in them. They were very friendly and made us feel at home. Will visit again if we are ever in the area! read more

Good chicken sandwich, great tasting beer! Will definitely come back to try the other beers.

I can't say enough good about this place; in town for only 5 nights, the food, beers, and service at AWB were so good, we came back for two of the 5 nights we were in town. Our servers were universally happy, enthusiastic, gave great recommendations, and answered questions with great eagerness. Their beers are quite distinctive and tasty, ranging from sours to porters to IPAs, and the food--THE FOOD! I had a peanut butter and jalapeno-jelly hamburger that was out of this world, made even tastier by the fact that the PB & J are all made in-house. We loved this place and recommend it highly. read more

The duck fat fries melt my stone heart with every bite the burgers are delicious. It's a local gem

Food, beer and service were amazing! There were six of us and everyone loved it. The food tends to have some unique aspects such as the chicken wings fried in duck fat. We got the spicier ones which weren't overly spicy and not typical but really good and meaty. Also, the sliders were served on a pretzel role, which definitely added to the flavor. The only downside to the whole place might be the noise level, but we enjoyed our overall experience! read more

The food was amazing!! Had the 'Merica Fries which have barbecue sauce, bacon and a little cheese sauce on them! The fries are cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and kinda soft on the inside! I also had the Hawaiian Wilderness Burger which was a perfect combination of sweet and savory! It's definitely messy though so it's great that theres a napkin dispenser on the table. I had iced tea and it was also very good, which is quite impressive for a brewery. read more

This is an excellent new brewery in town, and recently has won multiple awards stating that same fact. This one is only about 3 miles from my home. They have good food and great beer. I have tried every beer they have and I have not discovered one that I did not like. The parking lot is ample and the staff is friendly. A lot of tables inside, a good size bar, an island in the idle, and a very nice patio. If you want a good beer, and to support a local brewery, give this a try. read more

I'd come back here for a few reasons. ... A. The staff, waiter and host, we're very helpful, quick and accommodating with everything B. The burgers we ordered were huge and very very tasty, not to mention I adored the duck fat fries and I'm not a big fry person (I'll rarely order them)..my son really enjoyed his kids quesadilla. C. You'd never think this place was family friendly but there were plenty of families, just like us, so it was comfortable to have my 2yo with us and he attracted no unwarranted attention being loud, walking loose, messy, etc. D. If i weren't preggo, I'd have enjoyed the Tasting Room and the list of tasty on tap beers they had. Well def come again another time. read more

We visited Arizona Wilderness for the first time to meet a friend, and I could not have been happier with the whole experience. The wait staff was friendly and took excellent care of us. We were there for a weekend lunch, so it was not crowded when we arrived, but even once most of the seats were filled the noise level was still quite nice, no need to shout to talk around the table. The beer was excellent, since I did not write this review immediately after, I have forgotten what I had, but everyone at our table enjoyed their beers. I had the Ruben Burger, and that has instantly made my top 5 list, and I freaking love hamburgers. Now that I'm writing this, I think I should go suggest we visit them for lunch again soon! read more

Decided to treat my family to dinner so we came on a Thursday night at around 7:00pm and the place was packed. The hostess said our wait time would be around an hour to an hour and half, and we ended up waiting for just under an hour. Our server brought us water almost immediately after we were seated (it's the little things!). I ordered the Arizona Trail burger with a side of chips and devoured my meal like a ravenous savage. AZ Wilderness is killing the burger game, especially because of the sublime quality of beef that they use. +1 for having a really good brioche bun too! As for the beer, I tried the Blood Orange Gose and thought the Sour/Salty element paired nicely with a hearty burger. It's more sour than salty, which I prefer but then again I am no beer connoisseur. Still highly recommend though. Was tempted to sample more offerings from the brewery but remembered that I am of Asian descent and therefore a lightweight by design. Oh well, at least this gives me a good excuse to visit AZ Wilderness more often. read more

I have never been so offended and I will not be coming back to this establishment. Completely disrespectful staff who could have told me that my ID needed to be flipped in a much more respectful way decided to threaten to take away my drinks along with the drinks of everyone else in my group. Just because I did not have my ID flipped doesn't mean that I am consuming the alcohol. I am well aware of that. The food/drinks are great but my friends and I will never be coming here again because of that one staff member that threatened to take away ALL THE DRINKS AT THE TABLE. read more

This place feels like "Cheers"! (You know, the place where everybody knows your name :) The beer is PHENOMENAL! They use quite a few local ingredients in their brewing process. Food is pretty great as well. The menu is nice and simple and they usually have some kind of daily special. This is our new Sunday afternoon spot! read more

Arizona Wilderness Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

One of my favorite places in the East valley. Outstanding BEER selection that is always changing. If you are that ignorant fool that came here looking for a bar or wine, stay away. It is already difficult to get into this outstanding craft brew house. read more

I drooled over Instagram photos for months before I made it up to Gilbert to check this place out. I had tasted their beer at events but seriously the endless pictures of delicious burgers was what made me really want to try it. Aannnnddd, I'm so happy I did!! It's hard to find a brewery where their food is as good as their beer. I had La Ciudad which was a very tasty IPA with the famous Peanut Butter and Jalapeño Jelly burger which was so flavorful and fantastic. I can't wait for my next trip to the Phoenix area to go again. The atmosphere was also very relaxed and pleasant. I loved the big tree in the middle! You could bring kids if you wanted and still enjoy. I highly recommend!! read more

I don't know where to begin. The food was beyond amazing. The beer selection was phenomenal. The service was over the top. They hands down are the best managers and servers in the business. Huge shout out to Chris and Mary for taking amazing care of us. read more

Arizona Wilderness Brewing - Great local brewery. - Breweries Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I finally got a chance to eat at Arizona wilderness! After attempting to get in here for weeks on end we FINALLY got a table without having to wait 2 hours. And the food was great, the beer was great, the service was blah. We sat down and asked for a minute to look over the menu and 25 minutes later someone came back to take our order. We didn't mind because we had no where to go or no place to be, but that's not very good to keep customers waiting that long. That being said, my burger was delicious, the Brie cheese burger with bacon, and truffle fries, SO GOOD. The hummus appetizer was really great as well. I would go back, but I would be hesitant to go in the weekend because if we had slow service on a Thursday I can't imagine what a Friday or Saturday would look like! read more

Food is great! Service is awesome!! Beer is out of this world!! I just wish the owners would talk to all the guests, not just their friends. The owners should take customer service classes from their servers. read more

Awesome place! Great burgers and great service! Make sure you get the duck fat fries! Super unique and really delicious. I really want to come back here so I can try more burgers! I couldn't decide what i wanted so i had the server surprise me. She did an excellent job and brought me the trailblazer burger I think? It was such a great mix of flavor! I was really impressed! We also loved the pretzel stick appetizer! Even though it's a brewery our party still brought kids and they had stuff for them too! read more

They don't have any beer stylesI like, music too loud and occasionally play an obscene rapper! Fryer and grill were broken. I had hummus which was good but the service was so slow we almost left. My husband ate grilled cheese and salad. One of the few items they could serve today. The salad looked good. The sandwich didn't look good at all. Looked soggy and not cheesy. read more

Food is awesome. Beers are delicious. Unique brews. Love the staff and atmosphere. We go all the time! Duck fat fries is all you need to know...LOL Also love that they use as many local resources and vendors as possible!! read more

I love any time I come here but today was even better because the music was bad ass! Pantera, Ozzy, Van Halen, Danzig and more played in the background while I enjoyed Grapefruit Refuge and an After the Hike burger. Great place to chill and have beers with your pups too. Our pups are always welcome and happy with all the attention and love. read more

Stopped in for a beer and dinner. I everything was ridiculously delicious. The beer, the wings, the artichoke dip and a burger. The service was awesome and the beer was unique and tasty. I will be back to try a flight. Very excited about AZ Wilderness Company! read more

This place is pretty nifty. It is definitely not your ordinary brewery. They have enough unique excitement on their menu to make me want to go back. I had 2 glasses of the Juniper Mesa Black Ale, it was very good. I see they are going to serving some interesting darker beers for the upcoming holidays, I will be back to try those! We got 2 orders of their fries. I thought they would be interesting what with the duck fat oil and beer cheese, but they kind of just tasted like ordinary french fries. I got the peanut butter burger. It was a new experience, but I was a little disappointed that the jalapeno jelly didn't have more of "jalapeno-y" spicy taste. The Belgium waffle onion rings are awesome! This place isn't a run-of-the-mill brewery, but it isn't a fancy hipster place either. They find a good balance and they make me want to return. And I shall! read more

I could eat here everyday. Their food is so good and it never disappoints! The customer service every time we have been here has been great! Everyone is so nice and friendly. Another great part is you can bring your dog on the patio, and everyone loves dogs that works there! Great food. Great people. Great atmosphere. read more

The beer was ok, nothing special! I think it has a good atmosphere. But really only seemed to focus on sweeter beers. Granted they were out of the blonde and anything else lighter. We will try them again another time and re-judge! read more

I used to work across the street and frequented here. Great beer selection and the staff are very helpful - honestly this place is always busy and the service doesn't suffer, I don't know how they do it. The food is great, the duck fat fries are dangerously good. The best thing I'd recommend would be to pre-order your food and have a beer while you wait. Great burgers also, for the price/taste it's a steal. read more

Agree with other reviewers..duck fat fries!!! YUM! The beers are fantastic and burgers are excellent. I always leave here too full and promise to split a burger upon my return, but between visits I lose my resolve and rinse and repeat. This is a testament to the delicious food and beer! read more

Order the Arizona Trail Burger, wow. Great Burger, great service. The rest of my party thought the other burgers were just okay. Must try the fries. Great place to go enjoy a dinner with family or friends either inside or outside. read more

Best Burger and Fries in AZ! I first visited Arizona Wilderness Brewing because I love their support for local farms and vendors but I had no idea how much I would fall in love with this place and the food! Now it is a weekly stop, if not more. So thankful for restaurants/businesses like this one who work hard to support community and offer quality (and I mean true quality) food to their customers. Feels like family there. I love everything about it! read more

Excellent food and service. The servers are very friendly and welcoming and the food is outstanding as well as their beer selection. Arizona wilderness is a must go to if you're in the area. The burgers are fantastic and their duck fat rosemary french fries are to die for. If you are looking for quality, good old american food, then this is the place to go. The workers take pride in their work and i couldn't be more impressed with their performance as someone who also works in the food industry. I go in regularly after class and I am always happy with the service and quality of the food. Hands down my favorite restaurant in the area! I thank you for always taking care of me and providing the best service possible. read more

Excellent beer and food menu, if you are a beer lover this is the place to go in AZ, they are always introducing new beers and they classics are awesome, if that wasn't all their food menu is locally sourced and great quality and taste read more

Everyone keeps recommending this place so we decided to try it....what a let down. The place was cool looking but that's it. I'm not a beer girl but my hubby who home brews LOVES local beer. He did a flight and was not impressed by any of them. I agree with other reviews that the burgers are really pricey and not that great. Neither burger we ate had much seasoning and it was soggy with grease making the bun soggy - ewe. The fries and onion rings were the only decent things we ate. Definitely way too pricey for such mediocre food and beer. There are plenty other breweries around the area who's food and beer is so much better and less money, we won't be here again. read more

Perfect place to take visitors, it's classic and amazing food. We love the Arizona vibe, the staff, and did I mention the food? We have taken our dogs here and it's been a great experience. Pb and j burger is amazing! read more

Not a beer drinker so I can't review the beer but the food is phenomenal! Always busy so get there early

This place is amazing! We've been visiting since the beginning and am so happy this place is expanding! Their burgers and fries are insanely delicious. The waiters/waitresses are always nice and I love how passionate they are about the beer, too. For all the people complaining about "pretentious" beers...maybe expand your palate and world a little bit, then they'll be "amazing high quality" beers...a lot of those ingredients they've made sure to find in Arizona. Support your state and a local neighborhood brewery! read more
