Derek took great care of us. We came in with a party of 11. 6 Vietnam Vets, 3 90's era vets and 2 spouses. He was quick and efficient. I had the beer battered fish. Nice fish. Mash potatoes were too starchy for me (tasted like left over baked potatoes). Jen got tenders. Dry but tasty. We come here once a year when these guys have their reunion in Peru. Be back next year. read more

Being fans of breweries and brew pubs, and restaurants, we zeroed in on this wonderful slightly upscale place. It was far from the limited menu and "See here is our brewery equipment" place. Researching their website, we were convinced this was the place to be on our "chasin' racin'" weekend. My companion noticed that the clientele was quite diverse. I noted that also. We both agreed it was a sign of a thriving establishment. Autumn was our server and she was a lot of fun. Conversant, knowledgeable of the menu, and attentive, she was just great. One of my sides was a Caesar Salad. It was copious to the point that I could not finish it when it was appropriately brought out ahead of time. As a diabetic, I am concerned about carbs, but the Alaskan Whitefish grabbed me . While my plate was messy, I peeled off the coating and enjoyed the nice tender fish inside. In Tennessee, corn pudding is different than what they brought me, but it was wonderful. Bread pudding of the day was S'mores. I had my fill, brought home the rest and my family loved it. Local history was abundant. The menu held an article on local history and the lobby had many historic photos of local interest. I took many photos of them for remembrance. Chances are I will never return to Kokomo. But if I do go back. This is where I will dine. read more

Moms and kids day. Half Moon totally accommodated three generations. Our server apologized because it was pretty busy for an after lunch before dinner, but she was great. The restaurant is a cross between sports bar and family restaurant, we all real liked the atmosphere and service. Now for our reason for being there: the food. We started with the fried jalapeños and fried green tomatoes. Both were delicious. The tomatoes were heavily breaded and cooked soft. A nice crunch. The dips are house made and delicious. We all loved our meals. Excellent brisket. I brought smoked sausage back for my husband. He said they were great (and didn't share with me). The beer was delicious. Are we returning? A hard yes! Worth the trip. read more

Their 'big fatty' is huge, tasty, meaty and.. messy! Ha! Makes a good, filling lunch AND take home meal later. The meat in this sandwich is juicy and nicely cooked; as opposed to the few briskets I've had, which were dry and over cooked. Be aware that I dont think I have ever received the correct change.. and when I am short changed, I do NOT tip. read more

I'm from California and had a late lunch here while on vacation. I could not speak more highly of this establishment. I had a BBQ plate with ribs and brisket, with a Caesar salad and baked beans for the side, along with a Roy Rogers to drink. I felt immediately comfortable in the environment and my server, Laylani, was friendly and attentive throughout. The salad was bursting with flavor. The ribs and brisket were cooked perfectly and delicious. They make their own sauce and you can tell how much care went into it. The beans were savory as well. All of it came with bread as well. The portion sizes were generous. In fact I didn't quite finish the brisket or the beans. Sadly I couldn't take any leftovers with me. A local antique shop recommended Half Moon Restaurant & Brewery and I'm so glad I asked for their advice of where in town to get a good lunch. This was a superb meal in every facet and was a solid value. read more

Half Moon Restaurant & Brewery was an excellent choice for my team's holiday party--praise all around! We tried a variety of appetizers, but the standout was definitely the Fried Mac & Cheese bites, the best I've ever had. I ordered a seasonal drink called the Fruit Salad, which gave total Florida vibes and was incredibly refreshing. For my meal, I had the Fiesta Burger with pepper jack cheese, salsa, jalapeños, and all the usual fixings. Such a great spot in Kokomo, IN--we'll absolutely keep it in mind for future events. Thank you for the fantastic hospitality! Our servers handled our large group with ease, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our holiday party. read more

Very good food great service and very friendly staff cant wait to go back. Ample parking

We had such a great time at Half Moon. There is not a whole lot to do in Kokomo Indiana so we were very happy to see that there was a brewery across from our hotel. They were super accommodating to our large group and very friendly. It was Halloween and I was excited to see that everyone was in costume. The food was hit or miss. My aunt's fish and chips looked amazing. We had a great time and I was shocked to see that they participate in Tagabrew. read more

So bad. Sadly. So bad. I am alone , so I frequently eat at the bar. Not busy. Ordered the Delmonico steak medium rare. Cooked medium to medium well. Never asked how my food was. I did not send it back. Too risky. Ordered a second meal of a shredded bbq sandwich. To go. Opened it. It's cold. Received the bill. Shared the issue with the steak. And that the second meal was cold. They didn't charge me for a drink. Did not pull the steak meal off my bill. Disappointing. Not great service and food was terrible. read more

Food was good. I got the bourbon chicken. I highly recommend it. The breads rolls are amazing. If you want a starter grab Mac n Cheese bites and dip them in the sauce. You won't regret it. Jeremy is a great manager and Kelly Ann is the best server. True hospitality demonstrated there. I will be back! read more

Half moon is inconsistent at best. Sometimes it's amazing and sometimes they hit the mark by 1000 miles. I would not recommend them for a burger because they can't ever seem to get the temperature correct. However, their salmon and pulled pork are really good. read more

We have eaten there before and it was good. This time I ordered a breaded pork tenderloin. When it came the breading was a bit dark but after cutting it opened it was raw inside. Glad I decided to cut it opened before taking a bite. our waitress came and said the first one they did it was burnt so she made them redo it. Then that one came out raw. the 3rd one came out right. most restaurants would've comp your meal after all this happened but they did not. read more

The portions were huge, and the rolls were a plus. The variety of sides was great with some unique choices. It was your standard fare and hit the spot. I got the corn soufflé and it wasn't very soufflé-esque but it tasted good! The server was sweet. Would eat here again! read more

Chicken Fried Chicken tasting like a salt lick, mashed potatos at room temperature, and how long they took to take my order.

The atmosphere is fun but the service was incredibly slow. We sent our steak back because it was too rare and when it came back pieces were still rare. The catfish was meh. The fries sat in a puddle of grease. read more

Recently we visited Half Moon Restaurant. As you can see by the pictures the food did not disappoint! We started with the fried pickles and onion rings. They were both delicious but the onion rings were amazing. The batter wasn't soggy or greasy and they were cooked to perfection! I highly recommend sharing a meal. The servings are very large! The service was quick and efficient. The atmosphere was what you'd expect from a brewery. There was plenty of parking and for a party of 5 we waited less than 30 minutes. read more

Wow. A brewery? I don't think so. I've seen better beer selections at Aldi. The food is hot, tasty and comes out quickly but God help you if you're from out of town and sit in the bar. You won't see anyone for long stretches of time unless you wave your arms and shout out. They're all off having long conversations with someone "in the back" or with the numerous locals . Overall, the food was tasty and satisfying but the beer and the service was just OK. read more

Stopped in for lunch. We asked our server for a recommendation. She was delightful, new and recommended items that were heavier than we wanted for lunch. Items off the dinner menu. My wife and I opted for the Brew Finger salad. It was good. Nothing special. The chickens on top was decent thought. Should I return, I would try the Brew Finger chicken as the main dish. They serve Coke products and their own beers. I didn't try a local beer. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Half Moon! The menu is huge! Our server was friendly and helped give us suggestions... so many decisions. We started with a half order of onion rings and it was a large portion. The half order was plenty for 4 people. I had the beer battered Alaskan whitefish and my husband had the Full Moon Burger. It was a two hands or fork and knife kind of burger. Humongous! The beer menu was limited, but they also have a full bar. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in Kokomo! read more

We have always loved the food here..but Wednesday eve we were a party of 6. Three of us ordered the burbon burgers. None of us could even hardly swallow a bite as they were so very DRY. We tried to choke them down but some of us took them home to see if we could make them edible. My husband and I then ordered the bread pudding for dessert to take home...and well they tasted like they had been stored in the back room for a year..You could not even cut it with a fork it was so thick and hard and tasteless !! Another guest ordered the ground steak...and it was hard and no moisture either. We will be narrowing down our choices for places to eat out in the future. read more

Great food! It was a nice clean restaurant. Had plenty of TVs for sports. The service was great! Our server was very attentive and checked on us frequently. I would definitely come back. read more

this was a great dining experience with both service and food being great. Started with the pretzel bread sticks with Beer cheese, the sticks came out quickly and piping hot. The Cheese sauce is spot on. We got several different entrees and all were served quickly and very delicious.. Several briskets and a steak . Drinks were all kept full and our waitress although extremely busy didn't miss a beat. The restaurant is clean and well taken care of. The host and hostess were very cordial too. read more

Stop watching the game and start paying attention to your customers. I specifically inquired about the "slow roasted" Delmonico steak, and after hearing the description I said "sounds great, I would like the 12 ounce Delmonico medium rare please". Wrong order arrived to the table.... received a top sirloin instead which was on the tough side and under cooked.... only ate 1/2, the parts that were not still pulsating or mooing...... One of the people in our party happens to be 94 years young and asked if they could please bring the Coleslaw before the dinner....server said "absolutely".... it came after her dinner. Why? The server heard the request, acknowledged it, even wrote it down.... then completely forgot? My wife ordered a salad topped with medium rare slices of steak.... salad arrived without the steak. They later brought out the steak slices in a side dish bowl.... Another person in the party specifically asked if she could receive her salad before dinner, again the server heard the request, acknowledged it, but salad only arrived with the dinner..... After all the food arrived the server brought out a second basket loaded with rolls and butter... kind of did not make sense to do that. Two of the people at the table are elderly, we all split an appetizer, and they wasted that entire basket of rolls. All they had to do is ask first, we all would have said "no, we don't need more rolls, thanks..." Service was very poor. Male server was clueless, not attentive, and the restaurant was not busy..... so by my view.... no excuses to screw up so badly. Food quality is very good! read more

We came here for dinner on a Monday night and did not need a reservation. Parking was easy in their private lot and we were seated in the front area to the right when you walk in. The bar area is straight back and they have TV, etc. back there. There weren't any in the section where we sat. That was fine though as we were seated in a large booth. They also have a mug club that allows you to get refills on beers at a discounted rate. Our server was great and brought us some really good rolls. There was a weekly special on Mondays that all burgers are $7.99. That is a great deal so I felt like I should go for it, even though they hve pricey items too including steaks. My bourbon burger fell apart too easily. The onion straws were good, but the sauce was too liquidy and made it fall apart almost upon the touch. It could have been good, but fell short. read more

Services good with no complaints. The food was really slow coming out as we received our appetizers really quick. Once the food came out over 45 mins later, it was cold to the point we didn't eat half of our food. As the service started out well, once the food came out we did t see the server again to even try to complain. Not likely to return. read more

Service was excellent, constant drink refills, and an unsolicited offer for to go cups. I got the full moon burger it was HUGE, the description on the menu should say HUGE, not "it's messy". Beef was delicious, pulled pork was delicious, but their onion rings are next level goodness. Onion rings are crisp on the outside with fluffy cooked batter nestled next to 1/2" onion rings, so of the best onion rings I have ever had. Enjoyed the fresh cut fries and the house made bbq sauces. Because I was driving I didn't get to try any of the beer they make. read more

Half-Moon has some of the BEST catfish filets this deeply Southern Mississippian who once raised cat... knows! Half-Moon was a wonderful central Indiana find!! I'd drive a long ways to simply order their catfish dinner!! A small brewery on site, with a contained small bar area out of vision from family dining... reckon this is an Indiana-thang... but, it did resemble more of a restaurant than a micro brewery. Well staffed with knowledgeable waitstaff! Well organized in regards to seating, ordering, getting served, obtaining bill, paying out and leaving! I'd recommend this brewery and restaurant any day located in Kokomo, Indiana!! Great job chef whomever you are!! You make a Southern woman proud to enjoy a well crafted plate of fried catfish!!!! Wonderful!!! read more

Wow, super disappointed. Was excited to eat here but service was super slow and food was worse. Grilled chicken (Santa Fe) salad was fine...unless interested in the chicken, which was cold, dry and hard as a rock. The other meal (stoplight chicken) was also disappointing, the chicken was dry but decent flavor and the side selected (green beans) was clearly right out of a can with some bacon and onion bits added. The food had no redeeming qualities. read more
