Food service and ambiance all excellent. Great beer list. Their own beer is very good

Nice little spot. Was able to squeeze in between some patrons and sit at the bar. Du Claw sour was first and that was super good. Then I wanted to get a flight but was a bit disappointed I couldn't really choose from the full list of brews and get a flight of my choice; since I like to get a different one for each, dark, hoppy, sour, wheat. Ended up ordering the dark and stormy flight. Good, but I miss the contrast of colors when ordering a flight. First bartender to serve me didn't seem thrilled but when Aria came through, all had changed; constantly checking in to see how I'm doing and if I need anything. Ordered the mussels, pretty good! Also ordered the Buffalo tenders and those were good too! read more

We arrived late on a Monday evening (about 9:15), just getting into town for a funeral. This was close to where we were staying and still open so we decided to try it. I got the Mac and cheese burger and O.M.G. I fell in love with this burger!!!! The Mac and cheese was obviously homemade and delicious! I ordered my burger medium well and it was cooked perfectly. And the fries?!?! Not usually a fan of steak fries but these were battered, seasoned well, crispy on the outside and hot and soft in the middle. Yummy! My husband got the back and blue, my brother in law got the Half Wall, and my sister in law had the chili burger...we all adored our food and we're still talking about them on our trip home. Can't wait to go back! read more

This a great place for fish and chips! And actually everything in the menu is tasty, well portioned, and the service is great. We have eaten here several times and when, one time we had an issue, it was corrected immediately and graciously! I wish they served more hard ciders, but that's my only suggestion. read more

If based solely on the beer selection and quality of food, I would rate this place as a 5. However, considering the fact that the service was slow - I'm rating them as a 4. I want to be clear that our server was helpful and knew her stuff, but the kitchen simply wasn't keeping up with the demand in our Sunday evening visit. The variety of beers was pretty stellar. I tried a flight if the Half Wall brews and thought they were all good. The other drafts that they carry are pretty top notch. We all (there were 4 of us) tried burgers if different varieties and they were all excellent! The outdoor seating area was pleasant but the seat yourself option seems lacking. The overall vibe is fun, sports themed and pleasant. read more

Food was very basic. The service was okay but sub par for the situation. The ambiance was loud, poorly thought out, and overall not fun. This just isn't one for us but maybe we just hit a bad night. I will say they might be good for groups and kids if that's what you're working with. read more

Beer selection was excellent. Lots of tv's to watch sports. The Philly Cheesesteak was good. I would not recommend the loaded nacho's! They were some of the poorest I have had, kind of a gooey plate of slop, Their chef needs help on that one. Not a do over! read more

After going to the Half Wall from its opening in New Smyrna, I have to say I won't be back. Years ago I talked them into getting my brand of Whiskey. We went there often and we really enjoyed the Food, drink and the people. I normally would bring 4 to 8 people with me for drinks and food. Over the years I can safely say we spent thousands of dollars there! Now they tell me they won't order my Whiskey any more so I and all my friends are done! Sorry Ashley Aria Teresa Alex and others! Will miss you all! read more

FOOD POISONING - post chicken wings. Service was decent but you come to eat and we couldn't even do that. Mac n cheese bites... cheese breaded. Then onto the mains - hot wings and a cowboy burger. Apparently we missed the label that warns how spicy the wings are. A half wall hot wing is more like a ghost pepper wing that will leave your mouth burning for an hour, not even enjoyable just a ploy. The Cowboy burger was not good the patty was so greasy that the bottom bun was completely soggy. Our waiter who mind you was very nice and apologetic offered to replace the hot wings with a different flavor and we went with Parmesan garlic to be safe. Wings that seem to be tossed in butter? And then maybe half a quart of shredded Parmesan thrown on top. The food was disappointing and a clear lack of management pushed it even further. We love the DeLand location but we will never be back. Save your time and your money, real NSB food is just up the street. read more

Good service, but it took a while to get our food and the place was pretty dead. I ordered the steak nachos. I've never had someone ask how'd I like my steak cooked for nachos so I ordered how I like my steak cooked, medium rare. I probably should of said medium or dare I say medium well. The steak was rare and cold. The beer cheese was cold and it could've definitely used more pico for added flavor. The buffalo chicken tender appetizer was very good. It reminded me of the zingers at Miller's Ale House which I LOVE. It comes with a side so I chose potato salad which I'd recommend. The drinks are pretty pricey, but the last two times I've been there I've seen the bartenders do heavy pours. I'm not against coming back and trying something different, but I'll stay away from the steak. read more

Great food, service, and atmosphere . And did I mention the beer selection ?? This is a huge venue which is both a brewery and a restaurant with a large outdoor patio where they have live music on weekends. It's on your way in or out of New Smyrna beach so conveniently located on the way back to I-4. read more

I stopped in for a late lunch with a friend. Upon arrival, I ran into more friends. The hostess gladly seated us next to our friends. Service was quick. The food was good, and the order was accurate. The bill had one extra beverage listed, so the waitress corrected the error. The dining area and restroom were both clean. read more

This place was very, very good. All of our food was excellent. Michael was our waiter he was spot on, got all our orders right, polite and funny. They have a really large beer selection of course. Large outside seating area overlooking water, maybe a man made pond? I can't express how much I loved the cucumber salad. It's such a simple thing but theirs was a little different. We were there on a Tuesday night around 7:30. The place is very large. We will be back for sure. read more

very popular place, they have a large selection of beers, some of there own, about 80 handles......we just stopped in to grab a few apps and some beers before we checked into our hotel. had the cheese curds served with marinara, which were good but probably better served with ranch or mustard dip and some buffalo tenders w/ fries. these too were good, crispy and tasty. we've eaten here many times in the past, it's always good. we were happy with everything, again, this time just 1 gripe.......the bartender had a habit of playing with her hair, not washing her hands, and then touching pint glasses, food dishes, some take out orders. just gross. that was a disappointment read more

My husband and I love this place! Food and service are always great. Highly recommend the Buffalo chicken sandwich (but as a wrap). Great beer as well! read more

I was with my best friend and my mother. We all enjoyed our food. I had the fried pickle burger and would definitely recommend. The service was great, she recommended the burger and I'm glad she did. The ambiance is definitely a sports bar type place, but is also very family friendly. read more

Terrible service, decreased menu. They don't even have American Cheese as a Hamburger Choice! The best item on their menu used to be the Fried Calamari, GONE! We have been going there since it opened, sadly, we are done! read more

My wife and I have been going to the Half Wall since it first opened on Canal St downtown. We have always enjoyed great food, service and atmosphere. Tonight we went to The Half Wall for dinner and drinks and to watch the FSU-LSU opening game. All the TV's inside and out, all the FSU fans there, dressed in FSU colors, and managers would not turn on the sound inside or out. There was no band playing. It's sad that their website boasts about all their TV's and "sports bar" but our server says it's a "corporate decision". SO LONG HALF WALL, it was nice knowing ya!:-( read more

Food took forever. Service took forever. Food was okay. Will not be back. Meeting minimum word requirement thats all i had to say about that. read more

Hamburgers are the specialty, a good job with cold beer as well. I like all the locations I've been to.

Burgers are really great. Best in town. French dip is also very good. Selection of beers which I don't drink. Service is very good and it is a fun place. I forgot to mention they have a full bar (not for me). Enjoy. read more

We stopped at Half Wall 2 times on our recent trip to NSB. Had never been before. Visit one had my wife, two boys and I going on Sunday with my in-laws. Half Wall was pretty busy and we had a slight wait for a table of 6. I ordered a Blue Trailer blonde ale and it was very good. My wife and MIL had Fried Green Tomatoes and they like them. The meals were quite good, my FIL is a fish guy and he raved about the Fish and Chips. I had a Macaroni and Cheese Burger that was awesome. Perfectly cooked and the mac n cheese was incredible. Kiddos had mac and cheese and tenders...both good. My wife and MIL also had burgers which they liked, really was a great meal...good company, good atmosphere etc... Service was wonderful. The second time was the mirror opposite of the first visit. we went with a part of 5 on Tuesday. I asked for my Mac and Cheese Burger again and was told they were out of Mac N Cheese. That also ruled out my son ordering the Mac N Cheese off of the kids menu. Of course he is a very picky eater, I asked the waitress if they could just make him macaroni with butter...She asked the Chef and he said okay. When the meals were brought out, his buttered noodles ended up being multi colored tortellini. That didnt go over very well. My cheeseburger wasn't nearly as good as it was the visit before, pretty dry. Service wasn't as good either, drinks ran empty and had to wait quite a bit for the check. Definitely a tale of two visits read more

Three of us went here for SuperBowl Sunday and at first I was pissed because we couldn't hear a thing coming from the 50 TVs hanging on the walls. The waiter tried to tell us the volume was up as high as it could go, but after enough complaints from me and other customers, it miraculously got louder. So we stayed. And subsequently ordered spring rolls, onion rings, medium chicken wings and bourbon molasses wings, and jambalaya. Everything was delicious but the jambalaya was special. This place has about 75 beers on tap. Not knowing which ones to try, we got the flights (4 5 oz samples). Somehow, between 3 flights, a cocktail, a glass of wine and all that food, we only managed to spend $98 before tip. Very high quality, affordable food. My dad and I were so happy with the value we decided to go back the following day for lunch to order the beer mussels, which we forgot to order the night before, and burgers. The mussels weren't great, but the burgers were excellent and cooked to perfection. The soft, brioche bun was a nice touch. I was a tad upset the fries weren't hand cut so I opted for the cole slaw, which was fresh and not too sweet. read more

The food was not good and the service was not great. I will not go back. The hostess was not very friendly. We had to wait to be seated because there wasn't enough cooks to keep up read more

Just moved here and this was highly recommended. Very nice place, food was good. I found it to be like a sports bar TVs lots of them. Not really my type of place but the burgers were good! So were the wings! read more

popular microbrewery 20 mi from me with the usual fare with some good twists, most notably the sauces incorporated into them. I had the meatloaf dinner with a mushroom stout gravy that was phenomenal, I got screwed out of the mash potatoes without warning and was given some deep fried potatoes which were just 'ok' , the steamed veggies were cooked perfectly- not overdone- but the broccoli part of the broccoli cauliflower carrot veggies just had stalks! Wtf?? Where's the broccoli tops?? That was really weak in my opinion, totally slack and did not care about the food coming out of the kitchen. A decline in food quality may be in the horizon for this place My dad had the house special ribs. The sauce was really good, again, more beer masterfully incorporated into it. Ribs otherwise were just kinda ok. Obviously not slow cooked, not even a hint of thst complex 'bark' outer layer that penetrates into the meat of ribs done right. Do ribs right or don't do them at all. It's a little more effort, but then u can showcase them proudly. A shame the sauce totally outshined the ribs not complemented; I could have suggested to my dad he slather the sauce on my broccoli stalk and pass on the saturated fat Everyone else had burgers and seemed well received. All n all, 4 stars because this is a brewery first restaurant second, kinda read more

Don't order the schnitzel. It's flavorless and dry....but why did I give them 4 stars? They made it right and them some. The moment I told my waiter I didn't like it (I specifically picked this place for the schnitzel on the menu) he promptly offered to replace with a different meal! I asked for his suggestion out of 2 entrees I picked out, he chose the salmon, and OH WOW! It was so good. I'd come back in a heartbeat! read more

Posted for friends of my Senior graduating class of 1983 and the 40th reunion yesterday June 10, 2023. All of my friends know that I'm not a negative person nor do I post negative things or drama, ever! But I feel this needs to be aired out. Yesterday we had a small group of 80's graduates meet for lunch at Half Wall NSB. As a local, I patronize this establishment quite often, dinner, football games etc. I will say that from the time we arrived yesterday we were treated like ! The manager was very rude to us which his wait staff adopted his attitude as well. We were told that we have to sit at our tables because they were afraid of us running out on checks! Remember, I'm 57 with gray hair not 16 and several of us retired LEO! We were also told that we could not congregate and visit with our friends, if we wanted to stand and chat we had to go outside! Mind you, all of us were eating lunch and drinking libations (spending money)! I will say the only nice person was theBacon Cheeseburger bartender. Needless to say, upon leaving I had a little come to Jesus chat with the manager "Cody" and I will not spend another dime in that establishment! It's sad how a business that depends on local's doesn't want local business! I enjoyed this establishment and will miss football games etc. Time to patronize a local establishment that appreciates local business! read more

This was our first visit here and I must say the interior is impressive I like the lighting, the seating layout and the decor but the reason I came here was for the food and cocktails. Once I opened the menu it was apparent most people come here for the beer, they have a very extensive list of beers and it's listed by the state of origin and there are many to choose from. Of course being from Louisiana I immediately look for anything from the Abita Brewery and decided on a Purple Haze this is a great beer when served cold unfortunately mine was served in a warm glass and the beer may have been poured cold but it didn't arrive that way. Our server was very friendly but not very attentive. Knowing that the owners of Half Wall also own one of my favorite burger places in NSB on the beach I decided that was going to be the safe option and ordered a burger but unfortunate it fell short and I didn't finish it, the huge chunks of raw jalapeños tucked under the cheese on an over cooked burger which was ordered medium was a big disappointment. There were some things we ordered that was pretty good. The cucumber salad is world class, the beer cheese soup was okay and the French dip has some promise. So nothing horrible here but a lot that is just average, I will return and try a few of their other offerings but they definitely need to lower the beer temperature. I can see this place has a lot of potential they just need to do a little more training and work out some kitchen issues. So I guess the atmosphere will bring me back. read more

Wow, I never give a review of a place that isn't great but I'll make an exception for this place. Sunday, not busy and walk in with 2 friends. Sit at empty stools at the bar, female bartender comes over and says " seats are saved", ok I get it. Move to the end of the bar where 2 seats were empty. The couple saving the seats were kind enough to move down giving us 3 seats. Mind you bar was empty but not three together. Sit down and then wait, and wait and wait. Finally I ask the other person standing behind the bar if we were sitting in the " pay me no attention section?" She answers that she is the assistant manager?! Ok, so after waiting about 10 minutes, bartender with zero personality takes our drink order, brings us our drinls and quickly walks away! If crap service was what they were going for, all I can say is " Nailed It!" Partly finished our drinks and left, went to the River deck, ordered drinks and food and day was saved. Honestly, every resturant serves pretty much the same fare, what seperates them and all businesses is customer service and customer experience Half wall failed both. Sad as it disnt look bad but service made us all say we won't be back. I doubt it'll be arou d in a year. read more

Had dinner on Monday night with a group of 8 people. Food was good as usual but I wanted to comment on our server Zeke. He handled the group with friendliness and courtesy in spite of the fact that he was handling several tables. He took the time to make sure that everyone was satisfied with their meal and made sure to stop by the table every chance he had to make sure all were being served properly. He made the experience better with his attitude. read more
