I love the beer here, especially if they're hazy beer. Four out of five stars for the beer. We got the happy hour pricing for the beer since it was between three and 5 o'clock. I ordered the Smashburger because the server told me it was the best burger in town. It may have been the best burger in town because I have nothing to compare it to, but it was not good. It was the special for the day. It was $15 for the burger and fries. I ordered it without onions. It came with a lot of shredded lettuce and sauce between the bottom bun and the burger. I was not a fan of the amount of sauce that came with this burger. The burger itself did not have any flavor. It looked like there was some pepper in the meat, but I could not taste anything. The brioche bun disintegrated in my mouth after each bite. My experience with a bun like this is it was either frozen or it is stale. Not sure why the bun was bad since it was their special that day. I chose poorly with a burger. Every other time I went, I got the Yakisoba noodles with short rib ribs. The noodles with the short ribs are the best in town and probably the best in Northwest Indiana. read more

Wait time in a Friday night wasn't as long as we were quoted, which was nice. Service was great, very friendly and helpful with suggestions as it was my first time. We started with cocktails; which were delightful and strong. We split a sushi roll which was made with crab and shrimp, forgot the name- something with a cowboy. Pretty tasty and fresh. My yakisoba was perfect. Noodles were on point and super saucy. In fact, they could've easily cut the sauce in half and I would've been happy. The short ribs were so fall apart tender. Highly recommend. This place is loud and music was perfection. Love the art and ambience. read more

Blockhead is a cool find in the little city of Valparaiso. We were staying nearby after a visit to the Indiana Dunes, and we were searching for decent sushi that wouldn't require a drive into Chicago. Blockhead definitely delivered on the food and the vibes. It was busy when we arrived, but we were still able to grab a table for two on the patio. The host didn't seem too friendly, but our waitress made up for that with quick service and solid recommendations. Although this is a brewery, the cocktail menu had so many fun options to choose from, so I opted for the mango sticky rice cocktail (I forget the exact name). It was delicious! My husband ordered the Two Suns of Tatooine, which wasn't his favorite initially, but had a better taste after sitting for a while. For dinner, we tried a bit of everything! The Yuzu Butter Wings had a unique, craveable flavor, although the wings themselves were a bit fatty. The Crab Rangoon Potstickers were stuffed with real crab and just the right amount of cream cheese. If you like a classic crab rangoon, I think you'll really enjoy Blockhead's twist on it. We also split a few sushi rolls, which hit the spot! The Spicy Crunchy Tuna was my favorite, and my husband loved the Krustee Crab. Finally, we shared a bowl of the Night King ramen noodles. These were full of spice, very saucy, and topped with tasty short rib and an egg. If you're in the area and looking for a fun fusion dinner, this is the spot! read more

Great food and beer. I was surprised at the Asian fusion menu. They have sushi, noodles, bao buns, etc. The bao buns are huge, more like a taco. The noodle bowls are awesome. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The service was prompt and friendly. Prices are reasonable. read more

Came here for lunch. Not too many people here around 11:30am. The lady at the bar took my order. I started off with the It's the Great Pumpkin beer. It was very good. Has a little bit of spice and has a beautiful orange/amber color. I also ordered their special sushi roll Mon Calamari and the truffle fries. Both were very good! The fries were crispy. The sushi had a nice/bright sauce and had small fried calamari pieces on top. Overall, and excellent experience! This might be my new favorite spot. read more

The food here is amazing! We started off with the crab Rangoon potstickers and they were very, very good. Filled with crab meat and a delicious sauce. I had the WOK THE LINE: lo mein + teriyaki + ribeye + onion + garlic + scallion + sriracha + sesame and it was to die for. My wife had Drunken Noodles with short rib and she loved it. We will be back for sure! read more

This is such a unique place. The name definitely makes it sound like it will be brewery vibes, which it is but also is more of an Asian fusion sushi house. I sat at the bar and just had a drink before going to another event in town and the service was great. I loved that the bartenders left you alone except for when they knew you might need another drink. Though I didn't try any of the sushi, the person sitting next to me at the bar did rave about it while they were eating. I would definitely go back to this place solely for the vibes. read more

Their winter no nutz chocolate coconut porter is out of this world! Was introduced to this amazing brewery at my local Purdue campus AJSs Burgers via the incredible porter, recently dropped in the real homestead for a sample and four pack of bitter ales which really round out a variety of quality skills this place can brew up. It's a neat ambience, friendly staff, and plenty of parking in the top tier of Valparaiso downtown. Didn't get to the food but can see from other reviews it matches the beverages, can easily recommend! read more

Wow I was appalled at the way I was treated as soon as I walked in. Instantly denied service due to weather? Yet there was around 40 people in this establishment. Was this due to my race? Was this just denying customers 2 hours before closing? I guess I'll never know, what I do know is I'll never step foot here again. read more

Cauliflower baos were awesome. Service was great and fast. I had the Ramon noodles with Brussel sprouts, onions, corn and pork bellies. Sooo tasty!! read more

Not impressed. We had two flights of beer. They were not what I'd call good. Tolerable, maybe. The food was so-so. The service was less than par. Plus our server was wearing so much perfume, it was gagging. We tried again another time and sat at the bar. A little better experience. Bartender was decent and attentive. Beer was ok. We didn't eat the second time. Have not been back since, and we probably won't be. To each their own, we were not impressed. read more

Cute spot in Valpo that was recommended by another bartender. Beer and sushi - what a combo! I tried a raspberry ale and ipa in 5oz pour. I also had 2 sushi rolls that were super flavorful. They have inside and outside seating. Service overall was pretty good. Street parking is available. read more

Great quality food, service, and atmosphere adds a plus to Valparaiso restaurants. Their fusion of Asian foods keep me coming back, especially for specific dishes we enjoy. I especially enjoy the yakisoba, and a few others. They even make quality sushi as well as the Japanese restaurants do. The prices are reasonably competitive. I recommend them as a jewel Among the other restaurants in Valparaiso. read more

Food is always great, our favorite place for Asian food, pho is great,drunken noodles are great, love the pop culture decorations haha

Blockhead was such a cool spot! We had a large party and were seated right away. Their drink menu had so many options, and I loved that they had mocktails as well. The menu looked amazing. We just ordered some appetizers to share, but I definitely want to go back to try their entrees. The crab Rangoon potstickers and Korean BBQ fries were AMAZING! Definitely get those as a starter before your meal! read more

I would have not guessed this brewery would serve the best ramen ever! We also had the CALIFORNEE sushi roll and the YUZU BUTTER WINGS. We had sesame and nut allergies which they were very accommodating so my daughter was comfortable eating there. The cocktails were delicious. If I am ever back in the Valpo area, I am definitely stopping by here again. read more

Who knew beer and sushi went so well together? We stopped here on the way back from a road trip. We opted to sit outside (it was such a nice evening). Our server was friendly. He was definitely hustling. Their beer selection is good, and they make a great sushi roll. read more

My husband and I have been here a number of times and surprisingly, this is my first time reviewing it. We always enjoy sitting at the bar. The bartenders are friendly and have good food and drink recommendations. There are a variety of different beers to choose from as well as craft cocktails, and seltzers. The food is Asian inspired and absolutely delicious. The environment is very welcoming. They incorporate building blocks into their decor. It looks clean and modern. read more

I was worried about dining at Blockhead due to not being a beer drinker and knowing that beer was an expertise of theirs. I listened to the recommendations of our wonderful waitress and got French toast sticks and chicken and waffles they were delightful. I enjoyed a a wonderful beverage with guava, orange liqeur, egg white, and whiskey. The environment was welcoming and I would definitely go again. read more

Decided to come here on a family night out. Opted to get some noodles but subbed the pork belly for some tofu since I'm not a fan of the texture of pork belly. The broth in this ramen... it was so rich & creamy. All the flavors in the Ramen really complimented eachother. For this reason alone I will definitely be coming here again soon. We also ordered the seasonal baos that they had. It was like eating an Asian fusion Thanksgiving mini bao sandwich. It was covered in a ton of sauce, and was $15 for the 2 baos. It was good, but i wouldn't order again because of the price with it being like an appetizer. Our server constantly checked up on us which was nice. She was ontop of making sure our drinks were filled and that our needs were met. The only tiny issue I had is that I got Dr Pepper and it tasted a bit flat. Not the end of the world and wouldn't stop me from avoiding the place all together. If you're looking for a place to get some quality ramen or sushi I would definitely check them out. It's better than having to drive all the way to Chicago or a bigger city if you're local. read more

Having a late night dinner and a drink at Block Head .... A very good time, the staff is fantastic and it is very well run. (Owned by the same group as Ricochet Taco and Tomato Bar) the Sushi, while not traditional is high quality fusion rolls, (the rice has been consistently well cooked as sushi rice each and every time) their noodle dishes, again while modern fusion twists are very tasty. The atmosphere is really bright and cheerful. Believe it or not, nothing bad to report or critique. Its concept is very consistently carried out. read more

I've be there a few times. Tried a few beers, all great. Bao buns are melt in your mouth amazing. Noodle dishes also so good. We've also had sushi rolls. So darn good. We live 45 minutes away, otherwise I'd be here all the time. Service is always great too. It can get a bit loud inside if busy. Adds to the upbeat vibe though. read more

We have been to Blockhead many times over the past 3 years since moving back to NWI. We return because we have always had a great experience. The food, beer, and service are great. It's also a great place for our 3yo son, very kid friendly with the loud inviting atmosphere. Our son also has food allergies and it's easy to find something he can eat that he will enjoy. Absolutely would recommend and will continue to return! read more

Husband and I went to Blockheads for a date night, to try something new. We went on a Saturday about 6pm, got put on a waiting list (estimate wait was about 45 minutes). It was really about an 1 hour. We got seated and noticed it was quite loud atmosphere. Our drinks took a minute to get made. We ordered the Crab Rangoon Potstickers. The appetizer wasn't a potsticker but I wasn't mad because they were amazing! Hubby ordered the Pork Belly BLT, it looked amazing but the meat lacked flavor. The sauces on the sandwich made up for it. I ordered the Terranoodz with Chicken, the noodles were not cooked well and the dish was a little bit spicy for my liking. Over all the experience wasn't horrible but it wasn't amazing. read more

Another fun restaurant in downtown Valpo, right next to Greek's. We arrived on a Saturday night at 5 pm, and it was already busy. We were told it was a 75-minute wait, but it was actually around 20-30, so that was a relief. The "main squeeze" bao with lobster salad was definitely the star- really great seasoning, texture combos, and plenty of lobster. The spicy crunchy tuna roll definitely packed some heat. My friend got a noodle dish with fried egg and enjoyed that. The sushi prices seem high, and I wish more options were free of eel and non-fried. But it's a fun place to try something new- just arrive on the early side. read more

what an awful experience. i came in with my friends saturday night after traveling from california, the initial service was awful. i was with a group of friends. initially all of our orders were delivered separately from the most lack luster wait staff i've seen in my life. the ambiance was full of itself and the the "extensive" beer menu was pitiful. the food itself seemed like they took a ten year old and told him to throw ingredients together and called it fusion. what is isreali couscous? how did something that originated from north africa suddenly become isreali? and adding it to shawarma? theres a level of integreity that comes when you do fusion food and this half baked brewery has none of it. also the spicy tuna genuinely smelt like socks and rotten fish, i wasnt too confident of the hygine of the staff, if you want real asian food go to tanuki down the street, dont waste your time! read more

Cute spot, love the touch of using blocks/legos as designs around the place- the taps, flight holders, planters, etc. are all made of blocks which is cute in keeping with the theme. I'm not the biggest fan of a majority of their experimental beers, but you can find a few light & easy drinking options on their menu. Love their food menu; we had sushi and all rolls were good, however the sauce was a bit spicy/not advertised as such on some rolls (depends on the person on whether or not this is ok.. the extra kick worked for me, not my husband). read more

We've been on a 2.5 month long X country trip and somehow landed in Valaspero. We noticed the brewery sign and decided to stop in. Our server Abigail was friendly and engaging, and gave full descriptions of the beers that we had questions about. With that said we both ordered flights. I'm a pale ale and ipa fan, my wife is more lager and Pilsner fan. We both really liked our selections and was impressed with the quality. Then when it came to ordering food we ordered the wings and "cowboy" sushi roll. YUMMY!! The wings were cooked perfectly and the sushi roll was impressive! Abigail really made our visit to Blockhead a memorable experience and she even directed us to a lovely beach community as we were not familiar with the area. All in all we'd definitely recommend Blockhead to anyone looking for great beer, food, and service! read more
