Amazing experience! I'm so glad there's a local brewery with a fun outdoor setup that's also dog friendly. We got several flights and the FrankenBooBerry was out favorite, so we ordered the full glass. Since it was rather cold and windy when we visited, we didn't get to do any of the outdoor activities. However, once spring and summer rolls along, we will definitely be back with our dogs to enjoy as well! read more

Came here with some friends to check out this Crooked Hammock location that opened up a few weeks ago! Like most places new to Middletown the place was packed especially for a Friday night. We were told it would be an hour wait (at 6pm) which was fine we wanted to get some drinks at the bar anyway. We ordered a flight and some beers and waited for our table. There wasn't any room at the bar so we perched ourselves at the end of one side. The bartender was very nice and got us our beers quickly. Loved the ambiance of the place which reminded me of the location in Lewes. We finally got a table and sat down. Our waitress looked alittle frazzled but was very friendly and offered some suggestions for menu items. We ended up getting the crab dip and edamame hummus for appetizers and I got the crab cake sandwich with fries as my entree. Food took awhile to come out but it was fine. Crab dip was pretty good! It was a bit thick from the cheese but once you mix it around it was tasty. Crab cake sandwich had chunks of crab in it but also some fillers. Wish the crab cake was slightly bigger but overall an decent crab cake. Fries were just okay. After we were done eating we went outside to the backyard area. It was pretty cold out but there was a nice fire pit out there to warm us up. I can see during the summer this place is going to be packed and busy! Overall good experience. I would come back to try more food! read more

Great spot, awesome addition to an area that badly needs it. I'm a fan of CH and have always enjoyed their Lewes location, so having one closer to me is nothing but a good thing. We had a fabulous experience when my Lovely Dining Companion and I ventured to MTown on Christmas Eve for drinks and snacks in the afternoon. The service was impeccable, despite the fact that it was crowded on the holiday. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and everything came quickly. We split the chicken nachos, which are absolutely to die for. Worth the trip, because these are the best! The beers we had were all excellent, including the special holiday berry sour. The place was decorated in a festive holiday manner, and if we had the kids with us we would have for sure enjoyed the massive beer garden. Excited to get back soon - this place rocks! Thanks for a great time! read more

While on vacation visiting family, my mom took my girlfriend and I here along with my brothers. She had a lotta praise for this place, and boy did it live up to the hype. The food was perfect, the beers were amazing, and our server Ashley was on point. They have great seating options both inside and out. I would highly recommend Crooked Hammock to anybody; couples, families, friends, etc. read more

Food was great but we got "drop and run" with the food and no silverware or napkins Service was meh. No one came to clear the table and several tables around were cluttered with dishes still there from previous visitors read more

Good food, good drinks and amazing staff! Really make you feel welcomed! The patio is so cute!

We love this brewery! Whenever we are traveling from NY to VA we always make it a priority to visit! The food is always delicious and the beers are always rotating but the South to Somewhere is our favorite staple! Our last visit we had the pleasure of being served by Catie, who was knowledgeable and provided exceptional service! Already looking forward to our next visit and the continuation of our corn hole rivalry!! read more

Couldn't decide which one I liked best so I ordered a 1/2 of each. Wish I could purchase this in Wisconsin. read more

The hammock is cool. Long awaited and definitely going to be a hot spot when the weather is nice again. The outdoor space is not like anywhere else in town and it's big enough to really enjoy on a sunny day or nice evening. At the bar, the service leaves a bit to be desired and the food is not as good as the menu may state. You pay for the environment and the good beer, with average food. Space wise, I can't wait for the outdoor bar to open when the weather breaks because it will take some of the sardines packed feelings away. Also, I have already seen this place become a play pen for parents who want to relax by the fire or bar and let their kids run rampant in the "backyard" vibe. Not much the hammock can do to control that, though something to note if you are looking for an adult night out. read more

Visited family who took us to Crooked Hammock Brewery this past weekend. We arrived with a toddler, baby, and dog in tow and were quickly accommodated. Both the hostess and waitress were very friendly! We were seated within 5 minutes. We had a table inside with easy access to the backyard where they have hammocks (duh), yard games, and things for kids to play on. Our waitress was very nice and funny, joking around with us as we ordered. We ordered the crab dip, pretzel, and nachos to share. All were delicious! My favorite was the crab dip but I happily ate a bit (okay a lot) of each app. I ordered the peach jam burger for my entree which was delicious but probably a little too much food after all the apps. I loved the fries! They had a unique, thin, flat shape that had the perfect texture. I ended up taking some of it home because it was so filling but the fries didn't really hold up flavor wise. Oh well, my fault, I should've just eaten them while fresh. Also ordered a melon beer which was soooo tasty. Wish I had left with a 6 pack but I think I left in a food-coma haze and forgot. Would love to return on my next visit to Delaware! read more

Really love the vibe of this place with an out door section

Catching up with some old friends and we had the pleasure of Abraham being our server. He is very patient (especially after we took 20 minutes to even look at the menu) friendly and positive. read more

Cool atmosphere in Middletown! Love the outdoor area to hang out by the fire or let the kids run around. Decent menu prices, nice selection of food. The BLT and chili I got were very tasty and well done! The night I went they were very busy and our server took a little while getting to us, but when we were served, the service was great. Would return! read more

This is a great place to visit on a nice day. It is very open and airy with the large doors open so even when you are sitting indoors it is very breezy and relaxing. The beers here are well done and so we tasted quite a few on this visit ordering two flights and a separate Mango Tango which was my favorite. The large pretzel is very large but it is so good and is served with two dipping sauces, a slightly spicy mustard and warm cheese. Next sampled the chips and smashed avocado with a side of Pico really delicious and fresh. Next came the Crooked Caesar salad but I can't say this was quite as good. It was made with bibb lettuce and then what tasted like cabbage with the dressing tossed and I added grilled chicken which was a nice topping. The grilled chicken was tender and warm. Service was a-ok. This place gets very busy so you might want to make a reservation on a nice weekend day. There is plenty of parking and this is located in a very open area. Yes, try the hammocks in the yard they also have cornhole, shuffleboard, bocce and play equipment. read more

Crooked Hammock was really fun. The service was great. The set up is really ingenious. Great for families. The food was delicious. We had the crab dip, burgers (just delicious), fried chicken sandwich & the apple bacon grilled cheese. This place is a super great addition to Middletown, DE. read more

My favorite brewery to come to! First of all, the atmosphere is awesome - a mixture of beach bar meets backyard. They have indoor and outdoor seating with hammocks and yard games. Their beer is really refreshing especially Four Tires. The food is delicious - I highly recommend the peach jam grilled cheese. It can be on the pricier side, but well worth it for the quality of the beer and food. read more

Excellent brewery with delicious menu items for dinner and or lunch. Would recommend anyone visiting or traveling through Middletown, DE to stop by and have a couple of great beers and a good meal. read more

Great spot for a Saturday afternoon! Both the nachos (pulled pork) & crab dip were great. The portion size was huge and the flavor of it all was good.

So we ate at the Crooked Hammock for the first time this evening. I got there a little before my wife, so I sat at the bar and had a beer. It was one of their lagers. It was cold, delicious, and priced just right. Once my wife got there, we were sat at a table on their "porch," overlooking the outdoor area. The table was nice and clean for being outdoors, and our server was quickly with us. We had the Longboard Nachos with chicken and the Grilled Meatloaf. The nachos were plentiful, too much actually. It would have been nice to have a little less, and knock the price down. While they looked good, they were nothing to write home about. The chicken didn't appear to be seasoned in anyway, the pickled jalapeños didn't taste to "pickled," and it could have used some more cheese; of course no one thinks nachos ever have enough cheese, anywhere. The star of dinner was the grilled meatloaf. And it's exactly as it sounds, meatloaf that was grilled. It was two large pieces, moist and flavorful. Served over very good Mac and cheese. The only small glitch was I asked to substitute the green beans for the fire roasted street corn. Instead, I got the cornbread with sweet honey butter. And that was delicious. Overall, the server was excellent, and it appeared he was trying to handle somewhere in the vicinity of ten tables. The atmosphere was nice, and it was clean. Bonus for the rustic, quirky restroom. read more

Crooked Hammock Brewery - Mmmmm. Beer. - Brewpubs Near Me - Middletown, Delaware

don't think there is a single item on this menu that isn't good. Every time I eat at Crooked Hammock they always raise the bar. Solid microbrew options and staff is pleasant and enjoy their jobs. My favorite meal choice is the Brussel salad with a south to somewhere. And Nicole at the bar is a real asset to this establishment. read more

Visited for the first time for dinner and it was a great experience! The atmosphere is laid back and casual. Our waitress was very friendly and had a great conversation with us! The food is spectacular. We ordered chicken nachos and they were delicious! I got a pulled pork sandwich. The pork was so flavorful and the fries were crispy! The coleslaw on the sandwich was great too! I had the hard cider and it was very refreshing! I will definitely be coming back here when I am in the area! read more

Beer meh, food meh meh, service meh meh meh. For me it's a one and done place. It's a brewery with more high school kids and families with dogs. I'm a dog lover but taking them to restaurants hmm Why?? Not a fan. read more

Great beer selection! Good mix of IPA, stout, Ales, Sours. They've got it all! I tried the coffee stout and the berry cobbler sour. Both very different, but unique in their own way. Had the giant pretzel served with honey mustard and jalapeño cheddar sauce. The pretzel had just enough yeast and salt. Jalapeño pineapple wings were breaded and fried. They were crispy and topped with fresh pickled jalapeños and pineapple jelly. The jalapeños were only mildly spicy, but were perfect against the sweet jelly. BLT on grilled sourdough bread. Thick crisp bacon. What more is there? Served with thin potato wedge type fries (not really a fan. It's like one owner wanted chips and one owner wanted fries and this was the compromise...-stick to real Fries!) Chicken salad on grilled sourdough bread. The chicken salad was a good mix of both white and dark meat. Not floating in Mayo. Mustard added for tang served with lettuce and tomato. I added avocado. Great sandwich. Served with a pickle too. I subbed fries for a grilled cornbread muffin. Great choice. Buttery muffing with extra butter added when grilling. Yummy. Great outdoor section for warmer weather. I'm from the Peoples Republic of PA, so I was excited to see people sitting at the bar! Loved the funky farmhouse atmosphere, loved the beer selection. Loved the food. Loved the service. I'll be back! read more

We came for some lunch before going to Bride's and the service was horrible nobody came to our table and said we will be right with you. Look like they had one server and she was extremely busy the bartender tried to help us but we got tired of waiting and just left. I wouldn't go back just because of my experience so i give it 1 star. read more

This northern version on this restaurant had great vibe. Was nice they had all of the doors open on Saturday June 12th. The menu was not that big for offerings but maybe that will change. Our waitress was great. My wife like the chilly but it would have been nice if her honey butter cornbread came out at the same time and with honey butter not just regular butter. The ribs I ordered were more than expected, a little on the crispy side and not a lot of BBQ sauce, they did have a lot of meat on them but were not fall off the bone quality. Really liked the fries/chips that came with my meal. I do know it was a really nice Saturday night and they were busy and with things reopening like overnight it is hard on a lot of places. read more

Food and beer, good so I give it 3s. Service was LOUSY. At least from our waiter; someone might need to check for a pulse. He made zero eye contact and was MIA. I went to the bar to gets a water because I honestly didn't know when/if he'd come back. All other runners were pleasant. Ambience from our table positioned 2 feet from the playground.... So much screaming, god awful. I would have waited for a table further away to open up. I need Advil, it was absurd. It's a lovely idea for parents, but they should have to sit next to the playground, not the child-free customers. read more

Had a great lunch here with a few friends! Love their outdoor atmosphere and the additions of picnic tables and chairs spaced out to make us and the other guests feel comfortable during the pandemic. A few of us tried their beer flights which are so reasonable at only $8 for four decent sized tasting glasses. Our server was awesome and attentive and the food was great. Highly recommend the Chicken Bacon Ranch handheld or the BBQ Burger! Looking forward to coming back or maybe trying their other location in Lewes next time we are down at the beach. read more

The environment, beer and wait staff was awesome. Just happened to be next to the hotel we were staying at so I went here twice. The only reason was because the burger I got the first time was ordered medium and came well done and tasted like it was a frozen patty I could have gotten from Walmart. Other than that, very delicious nachos the next day and chicken bacon ranch. Great selection of beer at a great price. The wait and host staff was very friendly. Highly recommend this place, just steer clear from the burgers read more

I had my bridal shower here. The tap was very cool and had a great vibe. The beer and food were so good. The staff was amazing, particularly Sam and Conner. They went above and beyond to help set up, decorate, and clean up. Sam was very attentive. After the shower was over, we got a table in the outdoor area and hung out for another few hours listening to the live music. I would definitely recommend Crooked Hammock for any private parties or events, or even just to hang out on a Saturday. read more

Great atmosphere and food and drinks but it should take reservations; meet a group for dinner and there was 12 of us .

Arrived on a cool evening from out of state took manager 25 minutes to light outside heater despite having a baby with us? Service was awful felt like we were doing them a favor being at their establishment. Our server made us wait 15 minutes before she arrived at table. Couldn't order any other beer besides their brews which were not to everyone's appeal. All in all the consensus was poor service, product and management. P.S. Our propane at table went out manager took his time and made us feel we were wasting his time??? read more

Great Thanksgiving meal. Love their food. Can't wait to do it again next year. See you there!
