We've frequented the Headlands location in Lafayette for years thanks to its convenient spot near…read moremy husband's barber, and it's always been one of our favorite places to grab a beer. Recently, though, we've been spending more time at the Walnut Creek location, and it has quickly become one of our go-to spots. Headlands consistently puts out great beer. Whether you're into crisp lagers, hoppy IPAs, or something a little more seasonal, there's usually something on tap that hits the spot. We love being able to try different pours, and the quality is always solid. It's the kind of brewery where you can confidently order something new and know you're probably going to enjoy it. Now let's talk about the smashburger. I genuinely crave this burger at least once a week. It is that good. Whoever is making these burgers deserves all the praise because they have absolutely nailed it. The patty is perfectly smashed, the flavors are balanced, and every ingredient is in the right proportion. Nothing gets lost, nothing overwhelms the burger--it's just an incredibly satisfying bite every time. We also really appreciate the setup at the Walnut Creek location. Having separate areas for kids and adults makes the space feel welcoming for everyone without sacrificing the brewery atmosphere. Whether you're there for a casual drink, a meal, or to meet up with friends, it's an easy place to spend an afternoon. Great beer, an outstanding smashburger, and a thoughtful space make this a spot we'll keep coming back to.

Service took a few minutes to acknowledge people coming in, but the quality was there!! The bartender & security were friendly & upbeat. My drink was excellent & served w/ a lime. The music was well selected & volume was varied depending on which song the bartender liked most. I would 100% revisit this place on a karaoke night. It seems like a wonderful seasoned business! Keep up the awesome environment Captain's Chest!

It's small and cozy and cute and I've had two debates across the bar about military history in contra costa and if that was on the menu I would order it lol. I love this spot... it's a dive bar... don't be weird. lol. Oh it's in the same plaza as Trader Joe's... good for a day cap with a co worker and then a grocery grab for home!

It was pretty packed when I walked in on a Saturday around 4pm given that World Cup was playing. I checked in with the hostess and was told to wait for someone to take my order. I wasn't sure why it had to be a specific person to place my order when there were 5 employees at the front. After I placed my order, I was told that my order would be ready in about 15 minutes. The poke was fresh and the unagi and mayo sauces that came on the side complimented the entire dish well. The wontons were also very crispy! Definitely on the pricier side given that the portion wasn't that big after paying more than $20. Would I order it again? Probably not but glad I still tried it nonetheless.

I am not a typical Yelp review person but this experience had to be shared…read more Met up with my sister for a late lunch/early dinner. We were doing happy hour to catch up, and planned to order my husband's dinner at the end. We entered and were immediately seated toward the back near the bar seating. After being seated, we were given menus and of course they. have the digital ordering system as well. The greeter didn't explain it, tell us we could start using it or anything. Odd. A few minutes later, we waited as no one came to speak to us, offer water, or anything. We ordered 2 items to start, then activated the "alert" on the digital ordering device (I hate these because no one pays attention to them except the kitchen staff). Within FIVE minutes one of our items arrived, which we found strange. Still no water, no greeting, nothing. We flagged down several employees to get our server, water, drink order and PLATES for the unusually fast item that had already arrived and was sitting there, cold and lonely. Still nothing. by the time the second item came, there was still no waitperson, so we couldn't order our drinks, AND the first item (I'm convinced it was a cancelled order by someone else so they gave it to us) was now ice cold, with rubbery chicken and wilted lettuce cups. We ended up walking out after 29 minutes of NOTHING. I cannot believe that we saw at least 2 dozen young people working, scurrying around, etc. and talked to several, only to get the reply, "I believe the manager is handling this". I won't ever go there again. I have gone since they opened, and this is really disappointing. By the time we left, happy hour everywhere else was over and the lines at all the Veranda restaurants were LONG, so we didn't get to have our fun girls' afternoon. ALSO: on a side note, when we were seated, there was a woman with 2 young kids being seated. She very clearly reminded the host that she had requested a booth. They sat her at a nearby booth and one of the kids started to pull coloring/craft/homework items from her backpack. The woman took the other child to the bathroom. At some point the girl at the booth got up to go as well. Her backpack was under the table and their jackets were on the table. A host brought 3 young guys and a kid to the booth and MOVED this lady's stuff and seated them! I knew she'd be upset, so we waited. She came out with the kids and was mad. She told the people sitting there that this was her table and they basically looked at her like she was an old crazy lady. She told the staff and they pretty much did NOTHING. She stormed out and we did not see her again. I was very disappointed to see her treated this way, and surprise - she was a person of color, treated like she was not a valued customer. Ugh. What is going on here???
