    Cali squeeze blood orange beer
    Karla P.

    The food was delicious! And the staff was really friendly and welcoming. Didn't really have to wait to be attended or to receive our food!

    Keeping it gluten-free without the bun: tri tip
    Jeanette P.

    I've enjoyed 805 beer plenty of times, so it was wonderful to stop in here for our stay in the area. There's plenty of seating inside and out for your relaxing enjoyment, depending on the weather. There's plenty of dedicated parking. We were greeted right away, and since we were a large party of nine, it took just a couple minutes to sort out a table arrangement for us. In the meanwhile, we browsed through their merch collection. Our server was friendly, efficient, kept up with all the little bits of this and that that people needed, and was, naturally, knowledgeable about the beer selections. Some suggestions were made and sheets were filled out. There were some sharsies amongst us with the beer tastings which gave us an overall wide sampling. One of us really likes sours, others like deep and rich, and others like light. It was wonderful to get a bit of a taste from a wide sampling. We all really enjoyed our food, too! Everything was delicious! There are brewery staples, but the menu here could stand alone as restaurant fare - super bonus that it's at a brewery! We have mixed dietary needs in our group (gluten free, keto) and all of them were met. Fabulous beer and lunch with friends. I'll definitely come back here next time I'm in the area.

    Amazing Mezze Burrata and Chickpea Salad with Chicken
    Brenda Q.

    While planning a mini roadtrip through PCH last week, my hubby had this place on his list for a lunch spot. It was recommended by a buddy of his and we ended up really enjoying it! We were staying about 20 mins away, so it wasn't too out of our way. We arrived right before noon and there was plenty of parking. We headed into the taproom and checked out the place. It's a very nicely built brewery and it was pretty lively inside. There was the option for outdoor seating, bar seating and booth seating available. It was a beautiful day outside, so we opted to sit outside. The staff was very kind and attentive. I wasn't feeling like drinking much, especially because I was going to be the one driving next. I already knew I liked the Cali Squeeze Blood Orange, so I ordered the Cali Squeeze Peach Pomegranate this time, which was deliciously refreshing. My hubby ordered a variety of barrel aged beer like the Parabola and Anniversary are the only ones I remember. All I know is he really enjoyed them, especially with his Cali-Western Smash Burger he ordered lol. I ordered the Mezze Burrata & Chickpea Salad with Chicken which was amazing! I would love to eventually visit their other locations. Totally recommend!

    Stopped by Firestone Walker Brewing Company and had a really nice time. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, great spot to unwind and enjoy a flight. They have a good variety of beers, so it's easy to find something you'll like whether you prefer light and crisp or something with a little more depth. It's the kind of place you can hang out for a while without feeling rushed. Overall, just a solid brewery experience and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

    This place has pretty good beer the DBA is my go to as well as the 805 cerveza. We got the Saturday prime rib for 12oz and the 805 smash burger which was pretty small. The service here is great. The brewery itself looks like a brewery so that's cool. Please bring back the mud pie that was amazing.

    Yummy food, good vibes, shop for 805 gears. Servers are nice, they even tell you what's happening around the town. My server suggested us to come back to Solvang in Christmas!! Looking forward to it. Sadly they ran out of the Mind Haze to-go-pack I wanted to buy.

    S.O.B. - South of the Border Salad with chicken
    Ashley H.

    Stayed in Buellton for a wedding and Firestone Walker Brewing was a 3 minute drive away from our hotel. We met up with another couple as well. We were seating immediately. The brewery was amazing inside so cool! We ordered the brussel sprout appetizer which was amazing and smokey. If you love brussel sprouts you will automatically love this dish. I ordered the S.O.B. - South of the Border Salad with chicken. It was very good! It comes with a jalapeno dressing which wasn't spicy at all. I'm not a fan of spicy stuff so it wasn't overwhelming for me. Our waiter was amazing and so friendly and personable. It was so good we come back the next day for lunch. This is a must place to visitor if you ever catch yourself in Buellton.

    A brewery with a great use of space and own built in restaurant. They have a AC and a nice sized patio. Love the simple decor and use of old kegs, its all in the details and the history of how they came to be. We stopped by for a couple beers so we sat at the bar for faster service and Mark was very friendly and attentive as well as the rest of the staff. We got to sample a few of their beers and took a couple growlers to go. We enjoyed our short visit so will def return next time for food and more drinks when we're on this side of town again. Loved the use of old kegs to lock your bikes and the old outdoor tractor for pics. They also have plenty of parking and are kid/pet friendly.

    We are staying at the Hampton Inn and decided to walk to the Firestone Walker brewery up the way. Always wondered what it was like. Very nicely done thoughtful interior. Comfortable booth seating bit lots of table to accommodate larger groups, events and bar seating. There is also a nice patio that must be wonderful when it's warmer. They did have heaters out there. Nacho provided us with an enjoyable experience. The food was very fresh, well presented and delish. Can't ask for more. So glad we went and look forward to returning.

    First time at this location. Family friendly. Beautiful day for patio seating during lunch. Light crowds. Our waiter was helpful with beer selections and food. We will definitely be back. Just a short bike ride or drive away from anyone staying at Flying Flags RV Park.

    We stayed down the road from here for a friends trip. We guessed a group of about 15 including kids would be hard to seat. But two nights in a row we were welcomed in and taken care of!! This location is HUGE! The first night was almost more special since we got sat in an emptier side room that felt so private and allowed us to catch up without feeling like we were interrupting other groups. Our kids could wiggle too since it was so spacious. The staff here was fantastic! You could tell they were working hard but also enjoying their customers. Our waitress the first night (i wish I got her name) was so friendly and even came to say hi the second night, even though we weren't in her section. Food and drinks came out quickly. We weren't never feeling rushed or like a burden. Im so glad we visited this location!

    We were coming from Solvang headed to Lompoc. And decided to do dinner here. AMD boy am I glad we stopped by. The place is huge from the outside and impressive in the inside. The place looks top notch probably the best looking brewery I've ever been too. We were at in the dining area on the second teir were you could see the entire brewery. We all ordered some of their beers and input our food order after the beers showed up. The beer were delicious, crisp and smooth. Depending on the ones we're each got. 3 of us ordered burgers and one ordered poke tacos with fries on the side. Everything, and I mean everything was amazing. The burgers were smashed to perfection and juicy. The fries were crispy and garlicy. And the poke tacos delicious and refreshing. Every moment we spent here we enjoyed. Next time I am visiting in the area I will stop by again.

    Mary L.

    One of the only restaurants/breweries in Buellton/Solvang but it's worth while. Located off 101 highway exactly next to Hampton Inn Hotel. Interior decor is super cool. Nacho my server is so helpful and super attentive. Burger, fries and poke tacos were delicious and fresh. Beer too many good ones to choose from. Plenty of free parking in lot or on street. I shall visit again really soon. Stop by for happy hour $5 beers and $2 off appetizers 3-6p daily but Saturday. There is locals discounts on Mondays too.

    Hi Garett, yes we serve local wines as well as our beers.

    We are currently not taking reservations, all outdoor seating is available on a first come basis but we have not had many issues with long waits, please stop on by!

It's almost like a nondescript main entrance, like a store front where to go beers are sold. But then real through the store towards the back; voila the bar and patio. The vibe is super chill. There are a multitude of other breweries drafts on tap so that's great. Prices are a tad higher than what I've paid but it's a tourist area so it is what it is. Come check their place out when you get a chance!

But, if you are really a wine geek or just enjoy a more personal low key tasting experience I'd recommend setting up an appt. at the Margerum production facility up in Buellton (behind the Fig Mtn. Brewery). Its not super easy to find and the tasting space isn't huge but we were so blown away by the intimate and personal tasting we had there with our host Lisa M. We learned so much more about Margerum wines and the style of wine-making Doug Margerum prefers than we ever could have otherwise (and he certainly does many things differently that's for sure :-). Very refreshing and quite interesting wines that are definitely to our tastes. Lisa was just amazing and gave us a great run down of the history of the area and the vineyards that the grapes come from as well as Doug's take on the wine-making process. There's no shortage of other good tasting rooms close by so I'd heartily recommend making Margerum's production tasting facility a keystone stop in a Buellton/ Sta. Rita Hill' s tasting swing:-) Thanks Lisa!

(If you sit in the middle of the easternmost dining room you'll have a great view of it.) I've had numerous steaks, their pork chops, lamb, and quail and it's all delicious. Right now I am absolutely in love with their duck. It's really good. The wines here are great as well. They make their own wines, and specialize in Pinot (their Big Circle Syrah is pretty good too). They really care about their wines and it's very apparent in their taste. The service here is excellent as well. This is an amazing place that we make sure to visit every time we're in town.

Like many people I heard about it because of the movie Sideways with Paul Giamatti. Despite its notoriety, this place feels authentic and hasn't been over taken by the fame monster...not in the slightest. They just offer great food, great service, and great wines. For all the hype, this place was better than I expected. The patio views out back were sweeping, and I highly recommend coming here when it's still light out (lunch or an early dinner) so you can see what I mean. The views were better than the scenery at some of the winery vineyards in the area. For lunch, I took the recommendation of the worker and got "the best thing on the menu" which was their steak and caramelized onion sandwich. I dont normally order this kind of thing but she convinced me of it and I am glad I listened to her. It was juicy and savory, and the steak was so nicely seasoned. Whenever I've gotten a steak or beef sandwich before usually you have to dip it in au jus bc it's on the dry side, but this was not the case at all here. There was no aioli or sauce to drown out or hide the quality of the meat. It was perfection. We also tried the grilled chicken sandwich which also was beautifully seasoned and slightly blackened and had the juiciest tomato with it. Overall: a very simple lunch but done extremely well, with the best outdoor views in town. As a bonus, birders may appreciate seeing the occasional hawk high overhead or the abundant Blue Jays on the patio. Ample parking on sight.

Until this visit, I've always had a positive impression. Last night, our group purchased drinks from the Sideways Lounge and sat in the outdoor fireplace area. One member of our group was smoking when an employee approached us and rudely told us smoking wasn't allowed there. That wasn't the issue--we would have gladly complied if the policy had simply been explained respectfully. Instead, we were interrupted multiple times while trying to ask why there were no signs indicating the rule. The employee repeatedly responded, "Well, I'm telling you now." He then told us to go outside the fenced lounge area--even into the parking lot--to smoke, despite posted signs stating that alcohol cannot leave the lounge area. The interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational and inconsistent. Businesses absolutely have the right to enforce their policies. Customers should also expect to be treated with courtesy and respect. Unfortunately, this one interaction overshadowed an otherwise enjoyable trip. After years of staying here and recommending the property to others, I no longer plan to return or recommend Sideways Inn for future golf and wine weekends. I sincerely hope management addresses the customer service issues that led to this experience.
