Three of us were finished eating before rh other two even got food. Not enough wait staff on a Saturday evening. One was waiting tables and bar tending . Then there was also a waitress. Unless you order alcohol, they won't be in a hurry to help you. Ridiculous. Food was good. Service was completely lacking. After an hour, they came back to the table to take the two remaining people's orders again. Too late to eat by the time they got their food.

We came for the Mother's Day brunch buffet and had a very disappointing experience. The brunch was…read moreadvertised as running until 1:00 PM, and reservations were still being accepted up until that time. However, when our party arrived for our 12:30 reservation, almost all of the food was gone and nothing was being refilled, despite there still being 30 minutes left in service. The little food that was available wasn't even very good, and everyone in our group left hungry. The service was also extremely poor. After ordering drinks, we waited about 15 minutes to receive them, and by then we had already finished the minimal food we were able to get. Throughout the rest of the meal, we were largely ignored and had no idea how to even check out. While the manager did comp 50% off the buffet cost, we still paid full price for drinks. For a group of six, we spent around $80 and left disappointed, hungry, and frustrated. This event was clearly not planned well, and both the food quality and service need major improvement.

By 6:15 folks were lined up at the door waiting to order food and tables were filling up. There's no table service so be prepared to line up and order at the kitchen counter. Good selection of food with bbq ribs on Friday and Saturday nights. Our orders: 1/2 rack ribs with ribbon fries and coleslaw. Verdict: excellent. Tender ribs, 5 meaty bones. Heavy rub spicing and you can get extra bbq sauce on the side. Ribbon fries and slaw are both good. Taking home 2 ribs for lunch. My wife has flatbread pepperoni pizza. Always good. 8 squares served on a "paddle." Nice and cheesy with one slice pepperoni on each square. Plenty in the serving, taking home 1/2 the pizza so it is shareable unless you are a big eater. Looking forward to our next visit!

What a cute little spot! I made the quick drive from Marion to meet a friend and see our buddy…read moreshred some tunes on a Thursday night (and I noticed a few other solid musicians on their upcoming schedule!) This is a really cool older building and I think there's a lot of potential for it to be a really neat gathering space as the brewery matures. It looks like they opened in 2020, so I'd love to see how they settle in and "find their voice" more, if you will. Not being much of a drinker, I had perused the menu ahead of time and thought I might try their ciders and sours. They offer flights in 3 or 6, but it doesn't change the price. (I always thought that was the idea behind a flight, like bundle and save lol.) I tried Bauer Sour, Coyote Verde, and A Little Prickly in the flight and a sip of the Kellyfish that my friend ordered. I was surprised that I liked all four, but my fave by far was the Coyote Verde. The prickly cider was much sweeter than I expected, reminding me of jolly rancher more than prickly pear, which was a little bit of a bummer for me because I expected to like it more. Bauer and Kellyfish were more subtle and refreshing, leaning more towards a beer-y taste than the other two. I also happen to be something of a pizza snob, so I'm always hesitant to try it at a brewery, especially now that wood-fired is so popular. While it wasn't my favorite ever, it wasn't bad. I stuck with a margherita because that's my usual gauge for new places. If/when I come back, I'd try the (blasphemous/Iowa famous) taco pizza that sounded oddly satisfying at the time. I got too comfortable though and ordered a dessert Nutella pizza...only to be disappointed when it came out covered in marshmallow. I should've clarified topping options for their desserts before diving in. My friend ordered the Sweetopia cheesecake and said it was delicious. Overall, a decent experience but not great. A solid case for half stars because 3 feels too low and 4 feels a bit too high. Cool small town spot and big points for live music from some of the best musicians in the area. I look forward to watching BIT Brewery grow!

A neat little brewery located in a small town in an older building that I'm happy to say they've kept the ambiance of. They have a wood fire pizza oven and the pizza is very good. The menu is small but ample, but keep in mind it is in a small town and I xan understand not wanting to have a huge inventory to go bad. I was here when they first opened which was during the pandemic and the beers weren't great but we marked it up to having their opening delayed for numerous pandemic reasons. However, im happy to say they've now found their stride and the beers are solid. Definitely worth a drive to try it out!
