Flat Branch Pub & Brewing - Pub Style Poutine - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

- This place was pretty mid; the nachos were super dry (the chicken was dry as hell, it looked like they put shredded cheese on some chips and microwaved it, and we had to ask for queso dip for pour on it to make it somewhat better) the burger was supposed to be medium rare and it came pretty well done it was also dry and pretty flavorless. I didn't have the pizza but my friend said it tasted like Chuck E. Cheese pizza and that it probably came frozen. - Service was okay, he did his job but forgot my drink I had to ask for it again. - Ambiance was absolutely peak honestly the only reason this place even got a couple stars. The scenery was satisfying and dressed for the holiday season I will definitely come back for some booze on their outside patio. Essentially this place is good for drinks out with friends but DONT come here for dinner! read more

Flat Branch Pub & Brewing - Fried ravioli - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

My wife, son and daughter in law went to MIZZOU to a men's basketball game. We made a day of it and went to Flat Branch for a pre-game meal and drinks. The only negative of Flat Branch, is that every time I go there is a long line and a long wait. The wait was 45 minutes for a table but we went to the bar and got seats in about 30 minutes. Flat Branch has an excellent bar with a lot of drink choices. The appetizers and food were very good and the staff was friendly and check in with us several times. It was a fun night and I recommend Flat Branch for your next visit to MIZ-ZOU. read more

This place was great! Our server was very attentive and personable, providing us with intentional recommendations. The food was pretty good too. The pretzels were fluffy and warm, served with a beer mustard, while the chicken sandwich was crispy and flavorful. I hadn't been to a pub in a while but it was quaint with the wood interior and Irish flags hanging. read more

Flat Branch Pub & Brewing - Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich & Pretzels - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Very cute place with amazing food! Service was great and speedy! We had a beer flight - the 4 pack sampler. Good micro brews! I had the summer Brewhouse salad with grilled chicken which was savory and seasoned perfectly. The honey cigarette dressing hit the spot! Most of the salad was very fresh, with the exception of the cucumbers. Probably refrigerated too long and mushy. My husband had the FlatHouse Catfish & chips and said it was the best catfish he's had in a very long time! Come in, sample the beers, relax and have a great meal! read more

I was part of a very large party (20+) on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated quickly. The server was really great. He was attentive and efficient. The cream soda was refreshing. The flatbread pizza (pesto sauce with artichokes) was delicious. I really liked the crust. The only thing I'd do differently is to blend the pesto a bit more because I wasn't crazy about the coarse pine nuts or maybe it was garlic--no big deal. I'd come back here for sure. The Rueben looked wonderful--it was huge! read more

Great service here!!! Our server Annabelle was very nice and she was just in training! You wouldn't be able to tell she did great. The food was pretty good too. I like the option of raw veggies as a side. Nice place too a lot of seating inside and outdoors. The only thing I'd recommend is the owner should work on his responses to lower reviews. It almost put a bad taste in my mouth while picking a place to go. But I would go again lolll! read more

What a great find. I discovered this place while visiting the college kids the Friday before a big game. This is walk-able distance from campus so was able to do a quick campus tour to burn off the meal. Good choices of beers. The American IPA and Juicy Hazy hit the spot on one of the hottest days of the year. I ordered the Adobo Pork Burrito. Found in the sandwich section of the menu but felt like a healthy sandwich option. Walked into the restaurant hungry and found the burrito the perfect amount of food. Not too much food. Flavorful meat and fresh veggies. Must save room for dessert!!! The Tiger Stripe Ice Cream is a local ice cream and apparently made at Mizzou. Perfect to share at the table. I will make this place my go-to anytime I visit the kids. read more

Visited Flat Branch Pub & Brewing in Columbia, MO for a late lunch while in town for a Mizzou Football game. Naturally, the place was packed, and the service was a bit slow, but we didn't mind--we kicked things off with beer flights. Sampling different brews was definitely a great call, and once we found our favorites, we ordered pints. Food-wise, we started with some appetizers--onion rings were a hit--and then moved on to the veggie burgers. Now, I've had some killer veggie burgers here before, so my expectations were sky-high. This time? Still good, but didn't quite blow me away like I hoped. Maybe I was setting the bar too high! All in all, it was a fun time with good food and a lively atmosphere. Will I be back? Absolutely! read more

This was probably the worst experience that we have had . We have a registered small service dog that goes with us everywhere . We have never had an issue. Recently , we traveled from Maine to Fl & we're always welcomed. Evidently Adam (who would not give us his last name) did not believe that she was a service animal & wasn't interested in seeing her papers. With that being said , we were asked to leave the restaurant. it made for a very uncomfortable & unfriendly environment . read more

Flat Branch was said to be one of Columbia's best places to eat. Upon our arrival, we walked around the building to find the entrance. The hostess quickly greeted us and provided us a table on the patio. The patio had plenty of shade. The music coming from the speakers was modern and at a low enough tone to be heard, but not interrupt conversation. The atmosphere was laid-back and easy-going. Our waiter quickly arrived at our table and took our drink and food order. He then disappeared for the next 55 minutes. The rest of the patio had additional wait staff that were busy taking care of their tables. The long wait for food must have been unusual because some tables clapped when their food arrived as if they have been waiting as long as we had. After our food arrived, our drinks were delivered to the table. I'd love to experience this establishment again and be able to give it more than three stars. I believe the food would have been better if it was served hot. It had clearly been sitting on the expedition line waiting to be delivered for the bulk of the 55 minutes. I believe the one hour wait for food would have felt like less time had the drink drinks been delivered quickly and our waiter checked on us. New England-Style Crab Cakes: pub made genuine crab meat patties breaded, and deep fried. With chipotle mayonnaise... is what the menu reads. The 4 Silver Dollar sized patties were overcooked and crispy, unlike any preparation method I have encountered in New England. Served at room temperature on a bed of wilted arugula that led me to believe the patties were cooked earlier and placed under a heat lamp. As far as the "pub made" I can give the benefit of the doubt that "pub made" is the wording on the box the cook took them from in the freezer. If made fresh on sight, it wasn't this week. Southwest Chicken Taco Salad; grilled chicken, tortilla strips, lettuce, black, olives, diced tomatoes, cheese, ranch, salsa dressing. The salad was acceptable but the only nod to the Southwest was the tortilla chips. There was no salsa in the ranch and no southwest spices on the chicken. Flat Branch Catfish and Chips: Deep fried cornmeal, battered fish fillets, with fries and tartar sauce. The 4 fillets and fries were sufficient in portion size and the tartar sauce was an addition that was not needed, although delicious. Unfortunately, it was also served at room temperature. Flat Branch Pub Dip; thinly sliced "house smoked", certified Angus beef, sautéed onions, jack cheese, on a sourdough baguette. Served with Au ju and a stout horseradish sauce. The sandwich was terrible. The meat was cold, and was not smoked in that restaurant. The bread was stale. The fries were also cold. Our table had an empty bottle of ketchup, and when we asked the waiter to bring a new bottle, he brought another empty bottle of ketchup. Maybe Sunday afternoon at 1:00pm is the wrong time to try FlatBranch. We will try it again during a dinner service during the week to see if they can be redeemed. read more

Ordered a tenderloin after seeing the table next to me getting one. When it arrived it looked great, great! Eating it was a different story. Tough, leatherlike, all fried breading without the taste of the protein. For the first time in....forever asked the waitress if it was nomally this tough as I tried to pull it apart. She was nice enough to make one on the fly but unfortunatly when the new one arrived it was just a little better. Side wise the fries were some of the best i had! Daughter and wife were very happy with their meals so that is why I averaged the meals to a 3 star. It would be unfair to not recommed the place but very fair to steer folks away from the tenderloin sandwich which unfortunatly was one of the worst i have ever experienced. read more

The food is consistently good and the wait staff on the mark. They have limited parking access and they have limited access to parking meters which is why I gave it 4 stars. They also have a large outdoor patio area. read more

Small lot adjacent and street parking. Cool holiday decor outside on the trees. Great meal. Server was friendly though seemed confused by the amount of food ordered (we are yelpers)! In order of greatness: The pretzel and spinach cheese dip, as noted by others. Wow! Pretzel was So warm, soft and flavorful. The dip had great flavor. The wings. Great flavor sauce. Crispy, moist wings. Delish ranch sauce. Onion rings. Crispy. Flavorful. Slightly overdone. Toasted ravs. Good. Not what I expected drenched in cheese sauce but nice to get the side of sour cream and guacamole. The charred romaine was a last minute add. It was odd in terms of warm, wet, soggy. Flavor was good. Great place, would like the pretzel and wings. Every time. read more

Sunday evening, 4:30ish, we chose to go to Flat Branch as its local. I ordered the special- Salmon. He ordered a burger & fries. They were sold out of fries at 5 pm? The waitress had to look up and read to me about the sauce on the salmon. In the second bite of salmon I found a sharp bone about an inch long. Ok, that can happen, but I got 2 more bones. Evidently the preparer didn't do the hand check along the back side.? For the $, spent for our meal, this was disappointing. Our waitress was attentive and kept our water/tea full. We were early enough and didn't have a wait to be seated. read more

Good food , service, good root beer. Catfish is the best entree and chokes and cheese the best appetizer,

Food was decent but the service was awful. Friday afternoon, not even busy. Left us sitting at the table for at least 15 mins before bringing water. Took and extra 10 mins to get a beer from the bar 6' away. Tallulah (I think was the name...) made eye contact multiple times before even coming over and then proceeded to be the slowest server we have had. If you're coming here sit at the bar and hope that they have pre-brewed the beer before you order it or else you may die of thirst. Not sure what is even happening at this place... read more

Flat Branch nailed it! The Smitty's Draft Root Beer was smooth, sweet, and super refreshing -- one of the best I've had. The Sausage & Chicken Bayou Pasta was packed with bold Cajun flavor, tender meat, and creamy goodness. Totally satisfying and full of flavor! read more

Disappointing...thought it would be better but....anyway, the only beers they serve are the ones that they brew, not a huge selection but they were better than anticipated....the service was okay, slow, but okay....the ambiance was decent, oldish building with a fairly large patio outside that was crowded on arrival....ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich, very large and came with fries...the tenderloin was a bit overdone and was therefore dry...the onion rings which we paid extra for were lukewarm at best....our friend had the catfish which he liked and said was good...the snapper ordered by another friend was very overdone and not enjoyable at all...the chicken pesto dinner was sufficient for another friend who said that it was pretty good...all in all I expected more, maybe I had higher expectations....anyway, it could have been an off night but I would probably pass on another attempt here... read more

Green chile beer? Green chile chicken fingers? Anything is possible over at Flat Branch Pub. Came here on a Monday night in the summer with coworkers on our recent business trip to MIZZOU and wow, this spot had something for everyone. After seeing my coworkers choose inventive brews like the lavender (which is actually purple) and green chile options, I knew I had to go with a flight to properly sample them all. I really enjoyed the lavender and green chile options, but was happy they were just small pours vs. committing to an entire glass. The green chile beer in particular has a real kick to it, so if you're not into spice don't go with this option. Their sour beer was actually on the lighter side which I appreciated, and the Kolsh was darker than what I'd normally expect but still pretty tasty. Service was friendly and prompt enough for this displaced New Yorker. The ambiance was casual, we chose to sit outside to enjoy the cooler night weather. The green chile chicken finger salad really hit the spot even though I'm not sure you can really qualify something like this as a salad. It reminded me of an elevated version of a Wendy's salad...in a good way? Giant pieces of spicy, crispy green chile chicken fingers underneath romaine lettuce with tomatoes, cheese, bacon, onions and ranch dressing. What's not to love? We all split the queso and pico fried ravioli which is unlike anything I've ever come across (in a good way). It's like if a ravioli and a burrito bowl had a baby. read more

Unbeknownst to us this place has a parking lot which makes finding the door to get in easier. Ha. We parked on the street and couldn't readily see the entrance as it was dark. We were seated immediately. We had a table on the bar side but unfortunately there was a huge draft from the window we were next to. If my husband comments on it then I know it's not just me! Our waiter was Ryan and he was very nice. The food was good- my husband's Reuben had plenty of meat on it and great rye bread. Dressing served on the side. He loved veggies as a side. I got chicken in white wine herb sauce over cranberry rice. The rice was good but would have been great with more cranberries. I thought the chicken was slightly dry so Ryan brought me extra sauce on the side. The focaccia served with the chicken was fabulous. read more

The Choke's and Cheese really is world famous and deservedly so. Spent and afternoon in downtown COMO and enjoyed this great local spot.

Stopped by here, working in Columbia, MO for the week. Been to Columbia many times before for work, but never checked this place out until now. They were out of the 2 IPA's I requested. I then asked to try the Czech Pils, but they were out of that too. So I went with the pale ale and the bartender was nice enough to pour me the rest of the Lucky 7's. Ordered a mushroom Swiss burger, medium cooked. And a side of fries. Burger was good, fries were ok. This place is close to Missouri University campus, so it was busy with a nice mix of locals and college students. Will definitely come back here when back in Columbia for work. read more

Flat branch is one of my favorite places in como and I always try coming here when I'm back in town. I've had a fair amount of dishes and can't remember being disappointed with anything. My favorite is the coffee rubbed pork chop with bacon apple jam. I am hesitant to get pork chop when I go out due to fear of dryness but I've gotten it several times here and it is consistently juicy. They also have a very nice patio. The only issue is they don't take reservations and the wait can sometimes be long but not unreasonable so just try to go relatively early in the evening if you go for dinner. Very friendly and helpful staff. read more
