Literally every time I've eaten here the food hasn't been great, they always get something wrong, and the portions are small for how expensive it is. We ordered delivery and I asked for crispy buffalo chicken on my $20 salad. Instead, I received a very small salad, with 5 small strips of grilled chicken and zero dressing. My husband ordered the tri-tip dip and there wasn't any dip. It's just disappointing when it's so expensive. It's just not worth it to eat here. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Blast and Brew - Southwest chicken salad to go with barely any chicken and no dressing all for a whopping $20. - Beer Bar Near Me - Atascadero, California

We were a bigger group with family visiting and we wanted to go someplace where we could all enjoy various drinks and watch a game on TV while we ate. We were able to do that with the friendly service and the many choices at the bar. I was a little disappointed in some of the beer choices as I do not like IPAs and it was slim Pickens beyond that. I ended up ordering a cocktail instead because I didn't really like the beer choices but most of the folks in our group found a beer or wine choice they liked and again the service was really good and it's a big place so you can spread out, eat and Have fun. Most got burgers or ribs and they were delicious! There was also a live band playing for part of our stay and they were great and we enjoyed listening to them so overall, I would definitely come back, especially with a group who wants to hang out for a bit! read more

All I can say is wow!! Ambiance is awesome. Comfy booths for privacy. Patio dining. High top tables facing the bar! TV everywhere I'll be there for all games!! Large variety of food to please everyone. We had traditional MeNEds pepperoni pizza! Just like the valley MeNEds! Thai chili Blast Pizza was a huge hit. Very tasty! Lobster Mac N Cheese was delicious!!! I will definitely go back. Must try their burgers and sandwiches I saw at table next to us!! read more

Food and Beer was great. The service was not very good. We were meeting a couple there, not many people in the restaurant and our guests arrived before us. Seated out of the way, but the hostess did not remember that they told her they were meeting another couple, we told her we were meeting another couple and she didn't know of anyone. This all happened within 10 minutes. Oh well we finally met up by texting asking where they were and then we were able to find each other. The waitress didn't bring us any extra water when our glasses were empty. read more

Been here a few times for dinner, always great food. Steak salad is very tasty! Overall nice atmosphere and great management, thanks

Food is always good Service is outstanding especially if you have Erica for a waitress. The NEW Winter Menu is GREAT! read more

The meal we had here Tuesday for lunch was fantastic! Yes, they were very busy which is only a reflection of the food and the amazing service. Regardless of being busy the Manager Hung, who checked in with us often as well as all of the tables surrounding us, was phenomenal. You can tell he really cares about the guests and the restaurant as a whole from putting himself in the trenches with the team and the way he spoke kindly to his team you can tell he is respected. A good restaurant is a reflection of a good manager and he really helped make our day special. Thank you to Hung and his team we will be back! read more

The food and service keeps going down hill They get no more chances Food for our table arrives with long delays Kids were almost finished before others arrived Food quantity has been inconsistent read more

Last night we had a wonderful meal and listened to great live music. I had the steak bites and my husband had a smash burger. He said the smash burger was juicy and delicious. He's going to try to replicate that burger at home. My steak bites were also juicy. The mushrooms in the dish were a great compliment to the flavor. Finally, if you're worried about the music being too loud, I can tell you it was just right and a welcome addition to the start of an epic weekend. read more

Me and Ed's pizza! I got the garlic chicken and added bacon and jalapeño. This pizza is the best on the central coast! The undercarriage is crispy and the top is perfect cooked and soft. The flavor of the dough is perfect and is not floppy when picked up. The toppings are not skimp. I rate this pizza a solid 9.5! read more

The restaurant was not busy and it took a while for someone to ask if I wanted to order to go. They have Lobster Mac & Cheese on their website but no longer have it available. I ordered. They packaged it awfully and it all leaked into the bag. No to go utensils. I wouldn't recommend, food was mediocre. read more

Atascadero needed a place like this. It's got a lot of different options. Hung and the crew are always friendly and makes you feel at home.

Went to Blast and Brew quite a few times. Good atmosphere, good food and drinks. Customer service is good as well.

My wife, Laurie, and I love this place... Usually go here once a week (or more). We went there yesterday as usual and had a great time. I have to admit I'm disappointed. They took the chipotle shrimp tacos off the menu because I used to have it all the time and they were great. Having said that, all of their food is good. We love the service in this place, especially Erica. Laurie submitted a review a few days ago, but I wanted to jump on the band wagon because I'm a big fan. All of the servers are great, but Erica rocks. We like to have date night there because the ambiance is casual and comfortable and they make us feel like special guests. read more

I haven't even had food yet so I can't comment on the food but within the first 10 minutes I can say the service here is TERRIBLE. The manager was extremely rude. She would NOT let us order for our family and made sure we "ordered by table" which for a party of 16 didn't make any sense at all. She was insistent and even made sure the waitress didn't collect "call out orders" which only made everything more complicated. For the lack of flexibility and her inability to accommodate the customer I give this place a 1 star. read more

Blast and Brew - Bbq pizza - Beer Bar Near Me - Atascadero, California

We love this place!! We come often for the ambience, service...oh yeah and the food. The friendly folks keep us coming back. We have always gotten excellent service here, but today Erica was a superstar. She's extremely personable and incredibly attentive. She keeps a close eye on our needs no matter how busy she is. She always makes time for a little personal conversation, and she genuinely cares. I am not family or personal friend...just a customer, but if I were an employer I would be proud to have her on staff. If I were a competitor I would try to steal her. read more

The food isn't bad. In fact, I'm severely disappointed while writing this review because this is my go to spot for quite a few dishes usually. HOWEVER, when I run into a problem with service and it affects my family member that has a health issue... I can no longer support the business. PERIOD. If a dish is served with items on it that were requested to be removed due to an allergy, you would expect that request be honored with care. If the allergens are on the plate and you address the issue with the staff (in the nicest manner possible) but you are met with resistance, an attitude, and sarcasm... and the manager reacts in the same manner? It's definitely not a place we can return to. Booooo blast and brew. read more

We just had a really bad experience with the food at lunch today. We watched as the couple across from us was served a burnt pizza. By the time we had eaten, paid and left, they still had not received their replacement. After waiting a long time for our food, the lunch smash burger was as thin as paper, more rectangular than round and burnt. The chicken club had no avocado on it. The manager said sorry and that he would let the chef who prepared it know. That was it. Really we should have left our full plates on the table and walked out, but we waited a long time for our food and we were hungry after 1 PM so we stayed. Something more should have been done for us than just "sorry, I'll let him know. When I sent a Facebook message, all I received from them was a laughing emoji and nothing else. Really poor response and so unprofessional. Shame on them. read more

The food at Blast and Brew is amazing. The staff are friendly and attentive. When we go to Blast and Brew, we feel at home. Blast and Brew is a very comfortable place to eat and enjoy live music and good company. The general manager (Hung) is amazing. He goes above and beyond to take care of every patron that comes in to Blast and Brew. Hung makes us feel important during our visit. It is a breath of fresh air to be able to eat in such a friendly environment. Thank you Hung and your whole staff. Larry and Kathleen read more

Hey Dave (manager?) number one complaint about this location is SERVICE! Take note you idiot and fix it. Or are we going to see another Atascadero failure due to not delivering? The food is good, the alcohol selection is good, now just get the service in line. Omg, just read you're the owner!!! Well just to let you know if we receive bad service one more time we won't have Blast and Brew on our "where are we going" list. There are two other tables, we've been waiting over 40 minutes for a quesadilla. The waitress finally came over and explained the first one burnt. Now waiting 10 minutes and she brings out a pizza. Which we didn't order. We ordered a quesadilla. Again unbelievable. She's a nice person, going out to eat is so expensive that I would appreciate a passable experience. This place is unfortunately hit or miss. read more

Hear me out. The yumminess of the food selection is only surpassed by the service of the staff. Be sure to go see your new friends behind the bar, too! While we didn't spot one our favs, Blake, dynamo Dani won our hearts and made a double lemon drop that spoke to the soul. Imagine if you will a fresh County Fair Lemon Shake-Up that punches you in the face with more sass than sweet. Also, family friendly and live music. Go forth. read more

One of the best places in town for lunch! The service is great and usually will get food within 15 - 20 minutes.

Great food and service. Managers are jerks and very rude and dismissive to the staff. One in particular. The owners need to get it together and have friendlier people running their hardworking staff. Not a good way to run a new restaurant in town. read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon hoping to get good food and a nice place to finish studying. This place did not disappoint! They have free WiFi which allowed me to get some work done. There was lots of booths open, various flat screen tvs, and kind staff. I was surprised by the many options on the menu, and I only expected to see beers and burgers (there wasn't a variety of dishes pictures posted on Yelp). The waitress is sweet and she knew it was my first time dining here, she helped me navigate the menu and choose the what I wanted. I ordered the Ahi (poke) Nachos to start, it was soooo good! The crispy wonton chips were evenly layered with all the toppings, and lots of sauce, just how I like it! I ordered the Combination style pizza and it as delicious! I was shocked by the size because I wasn't expecting it to be so big hahah they were happy to give me a pizza box for leftovers. I ordered the Mai Thai margarita, but it lacked flavor and fell flat like a pre-mix drink. I was assured it was not, and my drink was replaced with something more exciting! Unfortunately I was so hungry and focused on studying that I did not take any photos of my food. Rest assured, I will next time! read more

Wow the food was great but the service was even better! Our server Cierra gave us some great recommendations! We tried the pizza, chicken sandwich and nachos all were very good. read more

Great place to come for food and drinks and the occasional live entertainment. Service has been decent each time we have gone. Food is nothing spectacular, but it's pretty good. Nice variety on the menu. Specialty margaritas have been really good. Live entertainment is super fun, although if they could turn the speakers down just a little it would be better. Some of the speakers sound either blown or can't support the volume so it's just not enjoyable. read more

While they've only been open for a fairly short time, the staff has quickly settled in and is working well at keeping the customers served. The menu has a great variety of food selections and their Mon-Thurs specials are solid and very reasonably priced. The pizza is solid and goes perfectly with their house beers. We've also enjoyed their smashburgers, carnitas tacos, shrimp quesadillas and the tri tip sandwiches. The prices are very good and I can't think of another location in town where you can take a family of 4 to and walk out for under $50, before tip, for dinner and drinks. Just what Atascadero needed for family style dining in a brewery setting with a full bar selection. For the negative reviews, most are from right after they opened and there were definitely the typical issues that affect a new restaurant, but those seem to have past. In fact, I've only had one issue since and that was a server who seemed to be in a hurry to close us out even though we were only halfway through our meal, I told her I wasn't ready for my bill and it was only 6 pm on a weeknight. Since that incident, I've avoided her and I've had very good service from the other servers, hosts and managers. Give it a try and decide for yourself! read more

Emily is the best, she remembers what my girlfriend and I drink. She is always checking to see if we need anything.

Everything was great about this experience. Plenty of parking fun an inviting clean environment, wonderful service and great food. We especially liked the manager who was friendly, helpful, and made our experience the best.thanks Bailey read more

We love this place and go often. I mean you can't really beat their lucky lunch special and the food is great! The service is always hit or miss but mostly great service. We had one little issue a couple weeks ago. They advertise a closing time on their door, online, google and it's not true. We were so stoked to go get a late night bite (8:45pm) on a Friday and online said they were open until 10... wrong. They close their kitchen at what do you know, 8:45. Maybe make some adjustments to your advertising of hours! Just a suggestion. read more

They redesigned their menu and don't have any of the food items that kept bringing us back to eat at this restaurant. They have eliminated many items off the menu. This is disappointing! And we will need to find somewhere else to eat several days a week. read more

Stopped to check at the new blast and brew. Very fun atmosphere. Sat at the bar and enjoyed a flight of margaritas. Loved the different flavors. Bartender was very friendly and fun to talk to. Enjoyed the steak bites and chicken pizza. read more

Was on our way for our 7pm reservation for my best friends birthday for 20 people and we were called at 6:54pm being informed that they could no longer accommodate our reservation due to issues. All of us were literally outside about to come in. It was very disappointing to have made this reservation a month ago and have it cancelled minutes before and need to find a new place for 20 people. read more

My husband and I have been there twice. The service was a bit slow , but I can understand why there may be a reason for that. I do love the ambiance, the full bar ( thank goodness) and I can watch football no matter what angle I sit! However, after the first time we ate there , I was ill after eating a salad which delightful going down , not so much coming back up. Ok a fluke whatever.... The second time my husband had the Mac and cheese. After approx 30 minutes, he excused himself and I found him vomiting in the parking lot. Coincidental? Not so much. I really want to love it, but am alittle disturbed. read more

Wow!! What an amazing new space in town!! Food was exceptional, huge varied menu for every pallet, service was very attentive, especially for how busy they were! And the live music was fantastic!! I've been a half dozen times already and had the coconut shrimp appetizer, perfectly crispy with a phenomenal zingy dipping sauce. The steak salad was wonderful! Giant pieces of steak cooked to perfection. Tots are totally on point! The cowboy burger was delicious, onion rings super crispy and have also tried a cup of chili that was very tasty with just the right amount of heat. Tried a take out Me N' Ed's Pizza-Italiano with artichoke hearts and it was definitely worth all the hype!! BOMB!! And lastly dessert!! The bread pudding topped with vanilla ice cream and Carmel drizzle was simply to die for!! It has little crispy edges that just put it over the top!! Can't wait until they're open for lunch! read more

We ordered takeout and it was delicious! My son ordered tri-tip sandwich, my wife ordered a quesadilla and I had the chicken tenders. Chicken tenders and tri-tip came with fries. All three meals were large and very tasty! All this for less than $50. It would have been five stars, but I had requested tots instead of fries. The fries were very good but I would have preferred tots. read more

This place is the best!! The staff and the food are great! Even when it's busy everyone is always super nice and helpful! Any questions I have, they always answer with a positive attitude and a smile! The bar staff is always on top of it and the drinks are amazing! Ashlyn is so great! She is always on top of it and is my go to bartender anytime me and my buddies come in to grab drinks! Love her! The manager Nicole is wonderful! She's so sweet and is always smiling and makes it so welcoming anytime me and family and friends come in! 10/10! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more
