Awesome ultra pet friendly spot with delicious beers and solid food. Tried the pretzels twists with beer cheese & nuggies and highly recommend both!!

Fiesta melt. My fiancé really enjoyed it. It looked juicy

I love that this place is dog friendly and they allow dogs both for indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are all very friendly. Plenty of seating. Very fun and chill vibes. Self seating. You order at the front counter and they will bring out your food. Also very good food. My fiancé and I had the jalapeño cheese curds to start and for entrees I had the hot chicken sandwich and my fiancé had the fiesta melt. The chicken sandwich was good but beware, it definitely has a kick to it. My fiancé really enjoyed his fiesta melt. Overall we really enjoyed our time here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon with our fur babies and we will be back.

I'm not crying, you're crying. On a trip to Lake Charles, we stopped by Crying Eagle Brewing for some brews in the afternoon. And we were lucky to find out that we were there during their happy hour where they have discounts on beers and beertails (beer + cocktail mix). They have a large parking lot so parking won't be an issue. And it's a spacious brewery too with two floors. After checking out the menu, I started with one of their beertails. It's not often that I have a cocktail that has some beer so couldn't say no to that. It delivered. From there, to get a good variety, I did a flight. Always my go-to at breweries so you can try a good number of their beers. Followed by a full-size beer after that to complete the trifecta. While they had food, that looked good, we stuck to drinks. Plus, free WiFi. I would return. My only complaint? They charge for samples . . . it's a brewery. Come on!

Dan M.

Come for the food and nice location and friendly staff. However the craft beer is just not great. This is an honest assessment from someone who enjoys craft beer. The beer is not a drain pour, but not a beer destination by any means. Possibly the best brewery in Lake Charles but there isn't much competition . The pretzel bites, salads and pizza were definitely worth enjoying. I would try a sandwich next time.

Ace D.

This is a surprisingly great brewery in Lake Charles. They have excellent selection of lights, darks and IPAs. Location and parking is great and the vibes are great. Highly recommend bringing a group just to even chill and have a few drinks. The do have a restaurant there too but didn't try any of the food.

Louisiana beer has been abita for the 3 years I have lived here, which is pretty sad. Now you have Crying Eagle which does an amazing job, seriously an incredible job and is located in southern central Louisiana. I look forward to coming here when I travel to LC. They don't have a huge 20 draft beer menu but the 10 or so beers that are on draft are almost always worth a try even if you know what you're probably getting. I love their Blonde. It's so easy to drink and really is a great blonde. I have been twice now and haven't had a food truck but I haven't really been during food hours so I think that's more on me. If you're hungry just call ahead and like others have said, you can order and eat it here. read more

Started with the deviled eggs with bacon jam. Wow. Followed that up with the pork and shrimp tacos. Couldn't decide which one was better.

I stopped by on my way to the airport. I really enjoyed this place. I order my food and the service was great - everyone was helpful and friendly. I got boudin and oysters-both if which were delicious. I ordered a flight so I was able to try a few different beers. There's plenty of seating and tables inside the taproom as well as outside. There's also a large leather sofa that I was able to relax in. I definitely appreciated that. If I'm ever in Lake Charles again I will be going back for sure! It's less than 10 minutes away from the airport, so it's a great place to stop on your way in or out. read more

A lot of people rave about the oysters so I went just to order them because I love oysters. However, I didn't care for theirs at all. Every single one had grit that I had to spit out. My husband ordered the bbq pulled pork pizza but they messed it up and put chicken instead which was no big deal. The bbq chicken pizza was not bad. My husband also said their draft beer was good. I can't recall which one he got. I would go back here for the cool atmosphere and events they host but I won't be tempted by their food. read more

I've lived around the country and ended up here in Lake Charles when my wife got a position at McNeese. I've had all kinds of true microbrews from living in such progressive college cities such as Lexington, KY and in the research triangle in North Carolina. I drink just about anything beer-wise except Bud, Miller, etc. Moving here left us without a good local beer option. But the beer here is fantastic and worth every penny. Being from a more northern area, I drank a lot more porter than people seem to drink down here in the South and I can say that the porter here is 5-star! This is what we've been missing in Lake Charles. The building is great and the surroundings are perfect. If you want to sit outside, you'll be fully surrounded by fully grown trees. I would've given it 5 stars except for two words: beer tokens. You can't just come and relax and open a tab. They have the awkward token system. Early afternoon clientele seems to be half the +50 crowd and half the 'graduated within the last ten years crowd.' Insecure lifted truck owners are at a minimum. read more

History

Established in 2016.

As so many great things do, Crying Eagle Brewing started with a conversation at the family supper table. From that evening on, the Avery family and a few brave, beer-obsessed souls set out on a journey that would become much more than just another business or job; this one would be a passion project!

Our guide, Dionne, is SO knowledgable and relatable. She shared honest stories about the people who built and lived in the beautiful house. Stories that included not only the wealthy owners, but the enslaved who made their wealth possible and lives comfortable. The presentation of the true history of Louisiana and our United States is so very important. Invest an hour or two in this lesson. You won't be sorry.

Very nice new location. Service was excellent. Selection was much bigger than was expecting which…read moreis great. Food was a miss at least what we ordered and no birthday nothing. Disappointed and didn't feel special. Tuna was cooked right but could use some extra seasoning. The burger was blah and expensive. Again needs seasoning or salt. The chicken tenders were tasteless. The crawfish queso and crab claws were both good. The grilled ceasar I heard was good but didn't try it. The brownie skillet was over cooked and hard. Needs more peanut butter. Pricey and bougie but would try other things.

We tried Crying Eagle - Lakefront location for the first time this evening, and every bit of our…read moreexperience was nothing less than phenomenal! Ryan was THE best choice for the General Manager. He is doing an excellent job with his staff and the ambiance of the restaurant. Our server, Gage, was a prime example and reflection of the care going into this place. Gage was so sweet and took very good care of us. Now for the food. Everything was so flavorful and worth every penny. The kitchen staff knows what they're doing, and they are killing the game. We started off with the pork belly bites and the shrimp toast for appetizers. That spicy aioli mixed with the chili glaze on the pork belly was top tier! The shrimp toast was perfectly crispy and delicious. The entrees were just as much of a slam dunk as the appetizers. I had the beer braised beef short rib with the mashed potatoes. Talk about melt in your mouth. The short rib was so tender that I was able to pull every single bite off the bone with my fork using very little effort. It was MELT IN YOUR MOUTH TENDER! My husband had the Tasso brined double cut pork chop with collard greens. The Demi-glace was absolutely delicious and the greens were well seasoned. My father-in-law had the wedge salad that he asked to spruce up with a few extra dressings, and they had no qualms meeting his requests. We were too stuffed to try dessert, but we will absolutely be back to try it another time. The pricing was very fair for the quality of food and atmosphere. All of the staff were super kind. You can definitely tell they enjoy their job and take pride in what they do. We can't recommend the lakefront location enough. It's definitely going to become a top favorite that we'll continue to frequent.
