This is a comfortable place. We were there for an event so I can't be too critical as the food was catered. My spouse and I enjoyed a beverage at the bar while we waited for the party to start. It was held outside on the patio area. It would have been nice if there were fans to help as when we went it was pretty hot. But we enjoyed watching sports on the TVs. The catered food was above average. I can't say that anything knocked my socks off, but the service was excellent and I have a feeling the food served in the restaurant is really good too. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely go back again. read more

Absolutely fabulous! Party of 6, everything was wonderful. We had crab cakes, hummus, tuna stack, redfish 2 ways, oysters, crawfish. This is absolutely the best service I've had in years. Ask for Courtney! We aren't from around here but will definitely be back! Loved every brew we tried too, and I'm pretty sure we tried them all! read more

Drinks are excellent, the food is fabulous! Would strongly recommend! Make a reservation!

Solid place! The service was quick and friendly. The appetizers that we chose were the boudin tamales and the spinach artichoke dip. Both were great! I had a flight of beers and my wife ordered a Bloody Mary! My beers were ok. Her bloody could have been better but it was just ok as well. We both ordered burgers and each burger was good. The star of the show was definitely the truffle fries! Hands down some of the best fries I have ever had! We will be back for sure! read more

I've heard great things about this restaurant/brewery but after eating there, it blew all of my expectations out of the water! The food and drinks were amazing. Literally everything we ate was 10/10. What really stuck out though was the service and just vibes of the place. I'm so impressed and can't wait to come back ...even though it's a drive for us from SWLA, it beats a lot of the restaurants here. read more

Love this place. #1 Food is amazing (Really) #2 Staff is the best The Bistro is a destination location for me and my friends!! read more

Wow. Impressed. My large group arrived 20 minutes before close, which I hate doing. They accommodated us. The food was magnificent. I really liked the loaded tots and the fried shrimp. The grilled asparagus was perfectly charred. Waitstaff was appropriately attentive. read more

Great food and great service. We had a party of 6 come in for lunch on a Saturday. The host was accommodating and our waiter was attentive. We enjoyed the crab nachos (similar to a crab salad, wings, and our various lunch entrees. I had the soft crab po'boy and really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Good food, great service! Worth checking out. Nice environment and friendly staff. Great location and easy parking.

The food wasn't that great and the service sucked and so do the price unrealistic for what I got. Will not be back

Excellent food and service! Atmosphere was great also. Wasn't expecting much but would def. go again!

After a five hour drive from Texas, we stopped here tonight at 7:30 PM for a milestone birthday dinner. The young man at the door asked us what we wanted. I said that we wanted to eat. He shook his head and said if you want to try to find a seat at the bar, we could, but other than that he had nothing for us. Rather than state it would be a 45 minute wait and let us decide if we wanted to wait, he TURNED US AWAY!!! Who does that? And we were the only people waiting. Was no one going to finish their dinner at some point? I've eaten here a few times before and loved the food, but that greeting is not how a restaurant runs a business. read more

Love the atmosphere, the food and service is always great. It can get hectic and loud on weekends but you know it is due to everyone enjoying it. read more

This was a great brewery. Stopped by for dinner while on a business trip and it's a great spot! Good beers, excellent food. We both got flights of different beers and they were all good. The brown bag burger was wonderful and my colleague got the brew pub burger that he really enjoyed. Plus, truffle fries for the win. Great prices too. Will definitely return when back in town. read more

Broken Wheel Brewery - Beer flights. All were great! - Restaurants Near Me - Marksville, Louisiana

This is a great restaurant. Service was awesome. Food was prepared well and tasted awesome. I had the shrimp and grits, they come with a shrimp sauce which is strangely tasty. Wasn't expecting that. Husband has fried shrimp and crawfish with side of onion rings. Fried to perfection. I also had a cosmo that was one of the best I have ever had. I would recommend this place many times over. read more

My sis and I were booking it back to DFW on a tight schedule thinking we'd be stuck with fast food for our dinner options. We round a bend in the road and spot Broken Wheel like a freaking beacon of hope in this covid apocalypse. Stopping was a trip highlight. The place was busy but service was punctual and polite. I tried most of the beers thanks to a well poured flight and found then all very enjoyable. The food was so good! We tried a pecan crusted fish fillet (I can't for the life of me remember what type of fish) and a crab cake salad or the like. Apologies for the vagueness, I'm writing this months later. Just know we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and beer all around and felt prices were very reasonable. I hope to visit again soon read more

Never a bad experience. The beer is good and the entrees are delicious and well portioned.

We had the pub tots and the crab nachos and I had fried fish and shrimp, and the homemade tartar sauce was delicious along with everything else that we had and tried. We went two days back to back with different people and they absolutely loved it.!!! read more

The atmosphere is very welcoming when you first come in. We sat at the bar and it was nicely clean and the bartender was very friendly. Ordered the grilled chicken pesto and seafood salad and both were great! read more

Second time eating here. First time wasn't a good experience but thought we would give them a second chance. Everyone has a bad day. Started out fine. Had the crab cakes for an appetizer. Came out quick and were pretty good. Down hill from there. I had the grilled tuna and my wife the shrimp and grits. Once the food came out we didn't see our waitress till we were done. The green beans that came with the tuna was so salty they were uneatable. Gravy in the shrimp and grits was extra salty too. Waitress finally came with the check, guess she assumed we didn't want dessert. "I'll tell the kitchen" was all she said about the beans. $75 disappointment...........Doubt we'll be back. read more

Awful food! Not sure there's much to say except the food was just plain not good. Will not be going back. read more

It's OK , nothing exceptional, the fried fish was ok but the one hush puppy was dry and no flavor at all. The garlic fried vegetables were soggy with jar minced garlic just dumped over them,,, ugghh! The service was decent up until I asked for the check and ten times I was passed up and my waitress never came so finally the bartender looked at me after having ignored me for ten minutes with my hand holding the CC and bill in the air stepped over and took my CC. Not impressed at all. Fried Catfish read more

We couldn't have been much more disappointed in our meal. The burger buns were basic sesame buns and stale. The burger was cool, as were the truffle and waffle fries. The shrimp poboy had three tiny shrimp in each half and the bread was awfully stale. For a $40 meal for two, this was just horrible. The beer must be the attraction because there was absolutely nothing redeeming to our experience. If they attempted to heat the food or use better bread, maybe it wouldn't have been so bad. read more

I've eaten here numerous times in the last 3 years... traveling salesman... (Honestly.. there's not much else to choose from in Marksville) Never had a bad meal! (Beer is good too...lol) But tonight I got the fried fish and shrimp combo... came out so hot I could barely eat it... (The crab cakes are really good and the redfish too... had them in the past) I think I'm like most people... it has to be REALLY good or REALLY bad to Yelp Was so good I had to make this post These folks are doing it right! read more

The atmosphere is wonderful as well as the food but the wait staff can forget that there is tables.

Food was good, a little overpriced. Beer was decent. Atmosphere was ok. The 4 ladies seated on the patio smoking while eating ruined the whole experience. read more

My husband and I had an opportunity today to have lunch here. Oh my; it was so delicious! I had the seafood salad, which was topped with the most beautiful soft-shell crab I have ever seen. The beer was also delicious. Their lemon drop martinis are fabulous, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. We are so lucky to have such a fine restaurant in Avoyelles Parish. We don't feel that we have to travel to get an outstanding meal. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with my meal. I thought the quality and freshness of my meal was above average. I ordered the shrimp Poboy and and the bread was fresh and the shrimp was well seasoned. The only negatives I could come up with are a the prices are a little high and I would recommend using larger shrimp instead of the small ones they used. Overall it was a positive experience. read more

If your not in a big hurry this was a great restaurant. The grilled tuna and chipotle sweet potato mash was fantastic. You better like hot sweet potatoes though. My wife had the redfish w lump crab meat. She said that was very good also read more

The food was okay but small portions. If you're hungry, this isn't the place to go. Also went during Covid. We were packed in between tables. Definitely not 6 feet apart. read more

Today I went to broken wheel brewery to order things that I love from there. I received great customer service from the server however from the kitchen I received a cold Burger and when I told him that the Burger was cold what they did then shocked me the Burger microwaved and brought it out in less than a few seconds I have never received service like that from them before so I was very shocked and disappointing I have been a customer since they were brown bag gourmet and I've never gotten food like that.. I'm hoping this was an off day and that this will not repeat itself. The Thing that a most shocked bill is that no one came out to talk to me Or acknowledged that there was a mistake.. I brought my out of town guest to eat there and while I sat there waiting for her to finish her food I had nothing to eat because they did not offer an option for me basically they said skip me for lack of a better word. read more

Seafood gumbo is delicious! Make sure you get a flight of their local beers to try :)

My husband and I ate lunch with our family at the Broken Wheel Brewery. I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Wrap with sweet potato fries. Both were delicious. My husband had a fried shrimp poboy with regular fries, which were also great. Everyone enjoyed their lunch. Service was friendly and our waitress kept our drinks refilled. Will definitely stop in again. read more

We brought a group of 30+ after a funeral with no notice. They accommodated us graciously! They pulled it together quickly for us and the waitress was fantastic. The food and drinks were amazing. I wish I could take this little hometown brewery back home with me. Thanks to the Broken Wheel for making our tough day so special read more

They have one of the best salads I have ever eaten in my life! It was a avocado and crab meat one. I choose to also add chicken. The crab meat paired with the avocado is mind blowing! It's a must try if you love salads and want a lighter meal. read more

You gotta try the catfish which was delicious. Next, try the fettuccine Alfredo with the soft shell crab OR with crab meat. I'm talkin 5 stars. Did I mention that fried catfish? Make you slap yo momma! Whew, good. Going back to try the shrimp po boy. read more
