    Loaded Crusader Burger with Fries & Chili Cheese Fries
    Garrett P.

    What a neat hidden gem! I visited recently after having this spot on my list to check out, and I'm very glad I finally stopped in! The interior is super cute and on theme! You can tell they take what they do seriously by the quality of their food, while not taking themselves too seriously through the fun ways they lean into the knight theme through their fun decor and menu. The Loaded Crusader Burger and fries were very delicious and surprisingly affordable. Nice bun, thick bacon, crispy onion ring, juicy patty. The woman behind the bar was very kind and the restaurant was spotless. They have a larger venue in the back which looked nice for events I would like to check out one day.

    I went to Crusader Brewing for the first time last night because I heard that a local band, Evil Empire, was playing! Personally, I don't drink beer but I had some family visiting from out of the country so I'm glad to bring them to a place that serves local brews! The service was very kind and welcoming for first timers! I sipped on a Shirley Temple and head banged to some great live music. I hope to have another experience like this again soon.

    Very nice guys! Thank you for great service, traveling thru from Sacramento. After a very long travel day, this hit the spot!

    I did line dancing there . That was fun. I did get really sick off the green hard soda. But that was a st Patrick's day thing . I am sure there every day stuff is fine. And I might be sensitive to green food coloring but it did make me very sick and I only had that one . The service was good . Everything else was fine

    Great atmosphere.

    This place is amazing. The staff are super friendly and the beers on tap are amazing. If you like burgers then this is the spot for you. The front is very unique and reminds me of an old English pub. The back is very spacious and if you need to have an event you couldn't find a better spot. If you are looking for a new spot then give this a try, I promise you won't be disappointed.

    Favorite brewery in town for both ambiance and beers. They have a wide range of options (they do tend to lean on the heavier side) so you can always find something based of what your are craving.

    Really liked this cute brewery; however didn't like the only option was tacos . Overpriced tacos 3/$10. My friend had specifically called earlier in the day and they said they would have the food menu; so much dissatisfied when they didn't... was really looking forward to some of the items. Ordered tacos with one of each meat selection and all the toppings and salsa; when it was brought to me ... it was almost liked they picked whatever they wanted to give me. I ate it cuz i was hungry. The workers; are busy and friendly. If you were a service member or an ems you get a discount ; which was a nice surprise. Loved that they do that: big plus and much appreciated. The back room where the comedy show was; was perfect size and had very good audio. Good comedy show! Would recommend coming here for an event. I didn't get to try the beers; however choices sounded good and everyone who tried them seemed to like them.

    We have been to this place plenty of times. But thought it was time to update my review. I must say I'm pretty happy with the service and the idea of food here now. It's nicely decorated and there was music playing and it's very welcoming. There is a back warehouse area that has added seating and a stage area for local talent. I love the choices on tap and with permanent food its awesome. So if you've not been here please take time to stop in and see if you love it as much as I do.

    I came in and ordered the loaded Burger with Tots. The burger is definitely delicious and I recommend the new Commoner Beer.

    This experience was different.. and so much better. Came to support a charity event for Michaelangelo's pizza in the lot (must buy food to get a beer) and had a half pint inside while I waited. Well behaved dogs welcome in the back which is a large, fanned seating area. Nice cool floor for your dog to lie on. There was no wait for me to get my beer at all and I was able to try a couple of their new hard sodas. Thanks, Andy! She is super nice on the phone too. I got to speak to the owner who knows his beer stuff and was super nice to my pooch. It was not busy and I was able to relax with a new, light German style beer called Scavenger. Really enjoyed it and would get it again. Of course I'll return.

    Beers are European style but the atmosphere inside screams Merica On my first visit I ordered a flight and liked every one of them.

We drove by Temblor Brewing, somehow we had missed it as we have been on this road many times. It is a real brewery and you can see the big aluminum stills set up. Sadly there was quite a line. I don't know if they take reservations, so check. Parking is easy. The place looks new and is so clean and really comfortable. They had several beers on to tap to check out and a very nice menu. It is all written on a board so you order and have a sit. They had live music which was great and fun. I don't know the schedule so call. Their salads are great and they have a few. They also have burgers and steak and we loved their chicken. The service is great. You will love this place.

We saw the line and stood in it while looking at the menu board and food menu too. We put in our orders and found our seat - there was live music on stage too - it was early in the day so we were surprised to be able to see it, a happy surprise for sure! I ordered an iced tea and its a self serve station - I loved the tea, it was brewed really well so anyone who wants a great tea come here! We wanted to get some food and both got salads - they were great salads, very fulfilling and all ingredients were treated well - I am picky with chicken and this chicken on my salad is like my favorite chicken now. There are lots of different beers so my husband was very happy to be able to try them. This place was awesome and we'll be back for sure, I loved the historical signs and facts on the wall near the entrance to the bathrooms too, it's nice to have ties to the history of the region.

We had the pineapple pizza and the pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni was ok. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but definitely had better. The pineapple pizza was delicious and unique. They pureed the pineapple, and paired with the chili pepper sauce, it was great. We had leftovers and can attest that both pizza's held up well for reheating. I would say this place as some of the best pizza dough in town. Paired with their honey, spicy rand, it was great. The drinks and appetizers were also very good. Their pork belly dish appetizer was SO delicious. We actually put the pork onto the pineapple pizza and had a grand old time. Both my partner and I got beers. I got the cucumber beer, that was pretty good and refreshing. My partner got something light, I'm not sure, but he also enjoyed it. We made a point to only pick things made in house. I had this at the yelp event, but their white peach carbonated water was amazing. Pretty happy with this place. Their workers know the menu and were super attentive!
