I had a much better experience on this visit than I did during one of Hogan Yard's soft opening weekends. It's clear they've made progress, and the place has a lot going for it. The venue itself is beautiful, with plenty of indoor seating, a welcoming atmosphere, and enough space for families, friends, and larger groups to spread out comfortably. The crowd was lively without feeling overcrowded, and it felt more like a community gathering spot than just another brewery. Food was the highlight of the visit. The loaded BBQ tots were piled high with pulled pork and toppings, making them more of a meal than an appetizer. I also tried the pulled pork sandwich, which was tender, flavorful, and generously portioned. The reason I'm holding back the fifth star is that I still feel like Hogan Yards hasn't fully reached its potential yet. The foundation is absolutely there, and the improvements since the soft opening are noticeable. If they continue refining the experience and building on what they're already doing well, I can easily see this becoming one of the area's go-to spots. Looking forward to seeing how they continue to grow. read more

I really wanted to love this place, but it's a hot mess. Parking is pretty challenging first and foremost. Say you find a spot, you're greeted by about 127 kids. This trip, there was even a cheer leading squad, complete with screaming (cheering?) in a room already oversaturated with sound. Want a table to sit down and enjoy your $150 tomahawk steak dinner? Good luck. And oh, here's some plastic ware to cut it with. Look, if you're marketing to parents with kids and this is a family deal, that's fine. I get it. Maybe I'm just out of touch with this one. But you've lost the plot (IMO) when it's part brewery putting on a tomahawk steak special you're advertising online. Nothing about that says screaming kids. Food was actually really really good. Move the food to a more relaxing environment and it's five stars all the way. read more

Came here for the aidt opening and was super impressed. Hopefully they can get a Full Liquor license for thise who don't drink much beer. Didn't eat, but can vouch for Pepper and Salt BBQ as they have the most amazing brisket. Awesome concept and vibe and looking very forward to many future visits. read more

If you want to avoid the baby strollers come after 7pm. Saturday arrived at 6pm and place was busy. They have a small arcade room to the right as you enter; pickleball which needs to be reserved in advance; outside patio area with games for kids and lawn chairs; live and started at 7pm and she was great. When we arrived it was open seating inside and outside. There is a line at the bar and a line for food ordering. You are given a number and food is brought to you. Lines are long specially for food. Large space, nice concept. Disappointed they only had 4 craft beers. The rest is wine, NTRL, mom waters etc. Only 2 TVs inside with the opportunity to add more in the middle and on walls. We ordered the nachos which was huge and added brisket. Very smoky, tasty but lacked jalapeños. We asked for a side of additional jalapeños. Hubby had the OG slap burger which was delicious and fresh! Very tasty! He was happy. Overall very happy and will be back once they resolve the long food lines. Place closes at 9pm even on Saturday. If you extend until at least 10pm you will attract a more adult crowd who want to watch the games. 9pm is just smh ‍ read more

For as much time and money went into this place, I'm a bit perplexed as to how they could open in such a disorganized, haphazard way. At the entrance, we were told that we can order our BBQ from our table, and it would be brought to us. Now, it's my understanding the BBQ joint here has moved from a previous location; this carrying their full menu. I was surprised to see that the online ordering only contained a very limited menu. No worries. Toast says our order will be ready in 5-7 minutes. It wasn't very busy. I get the notification it's ready and waited a few minutes before deciding to approach the counter. Food doesn't come. I go to the counter, wait a few minutes, and no one acknowledges me. I finally grab the cashier's attention and he tells me I can sit down if I ordered online and they'll bring the food. A few more minutes go by and our food still doesn't come out. I ask one of the runners when our food is coming out and he told me that if I ordered online, I needed to approach the counter to get my food. I told him that's not what the guy at the register told me and then he got nasty with me and mocked me "wElL tHat'S nOT wHAt tHe GuY At tHe reGiSTer tOld Me". Like dawg it's not my fault y'all don't have your sh** together. I did find out when I approached the counter that you actually can order from the full menu if you wait in line. Really wish someone would've told me that because I had ordered something I didn't necessarily want. There were 2 employees in the kitchen and 2 runners and it was absolute pandemonium as there clearly was no leadership. They were all running around like chickens while the owners were chatting it up with someone at a table. It's usually not a good sign when your brand new business is only about 1/3 full during lunch rush. Food was good but the overall experience clearly needs some fixing. You can't survive off vibes alone. You gotta put in work. Just because you spent a ton of money doesn't automatically make you interesting. Also the restroom was out of soap. read more

Food was just thrown on the plate, my Cuban sandwich had all the meat in the basket and not put together. Place is wild, noisy and not conducive to dining but a large cafeteria. Great for a family experience. read more

Friendly staff. Only three types of beer all not my choice. Food is like a sporting event. The wait was very long. I hope they get it together. The place is very large and clean. read more
