Wow, what an excellent local brewery! Looking for some evening bite after a late lunch and this place was nearby where we were staying, so gave it a walk to try it. Seemed to close early, 8pm, for a brewery, but I guess it's a quieter area. Arrived past 7, hoping we can still get food and we were still good for food and beer! Ms. Kristie was so efficient and friendly and awesome, hustling back and forth from reception to seating and dropping by to check on all the patrons. Like a one woman show! I went for the Peanut butter falcon since I like a good brown beer. The peanut butter was initially nice, but it kinda became tiring as the sips went along, since peanut butter seemed a bit much over the beer. Got wife the German Pilsner and that was excellent! Smooth with a hint of malty sweetness too! I am thinking maybe the Lawn Order blonde ale is probably going to be great as well, but too full from late lunch to consume more than one. For food, went with the birria melt and the salmon salad. Birria melt had some awesome authentic flavors to it! Kid devoured it with the consomme. I enjoyed a quarter of it, but too full, so worked out perfect since kid didn't want to share more either, lol. Salmon salad was perfect! Pan seared on both side for that wonderful crust yet tender goodness. Salad dressing with cherry and almond slices made this salad so enjoyable while staying lighter. Was not expecting such salmon from a brewery, excellent food here! Locals seem to love this place too until closing time I guess, since a group that seemed to be bar hopping arrived exceited when we got there too:) read more

Humdinger Brewing is awesome! I got the Smash Burger with those thin, crispy fries--seriously, so good. My daughter had the Fish & Chips (yep, same amazing fries) and loved it, and my other daughter went for the cheeseburger. Everything was delicious and the portions were HUGE. We ate outside, and there's a ton of seating which made it super chill. Service was quick, prices were fair, and the menu has so many appetizers and tasty-looking dishes that I'm already planning what to try next. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to! read more

We have been ordering take out and eating at the restaurant more than i like to admit. I usually go with the "dinger dip" and the fried cheese curds are to die for! This place is right in downtown AG, and has a fun atmosphere! The servers are top notch and friendly, and when I am off the wagon occasionally, I love the beer here. You wont be disappointed! read more

Good FISH & CHIPS -- Large Portion. Unique, tasty Fries. Good, fun beers. Whenever I visit my buddy in Grover Beach, he takes me here. Besides the fish n' chips, get the chili cheese fries. I know, fatty alert (this guy), but they were totally worth it. read more

I'm from GA and the fried pickles are some of the best I've had! Great beer and a fantastic vibe outside.

Stopped here on a road trip because we were looking for salads and seems like a good spot for that. Both our salad were great! Interesting options and good dressings. However, with being pregnant I really wanted chicken strips. There was no chicken strips on the menu so asked if I could order a kids chicken strips and I was told no. I was willing to buy both a green salad and chicken strips. He came back to say they actually have chicken strips just not on the menu. But I still had to order the adult. Okay fine. I was bummed because I knew I didn't want 4 full size chicken strips and ended up throwing 2 away... We also got an order of fried pickles. Delish. Good sauce. I felt like the service teetered from stand offish to friendly. That was confusing. Nice and clean atmosphere. Lots of indoor & outdoor seating. read more

I was in town visiting with family and we had been to this spot before and decided to come back. They have some of the best bar snacks I've ever had. It's hard not to order everything on the menu. Still haven't tried any beers but plenty of other patrons seem to enjoy their selection. I did try their house brewed root beer and the flavor was good but lacked carbonation. The food comes out quickly, hot, and cooked the perfection. I love their pinkie spears, such a strong but delicious dill flavor. Their corn dogs are also amazing! All the sauces pair perfectly as well. read more

I have visited this establishment twice for a beer and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Although I haven't sampled the food, the dishes I observed around me appeared appetizing. The space is open, well-lit, and features a nicely appointed bar with indoor and outdoor seating options. I highly recommend their Irish Red, which was the best beer I've tasted in the area. read more

Great service by Marcus at the bar on a Friday afternoon. We found the fish and chips to be very large and crispy. Number 4 of 4 pieces of fish was slightly soggier but the steam caused that. We wound up taking the easy sippin bitter, treasure island sour and golden grove blood orange home. We will be back here every year for a professional Gold Leaf Conclave. read more

A great to grab some good food in Arroyo Grande Village. Homemade chips, guac and salsa was a good start, but the carnitas taquitos were good. Taco Tuesday! 3 tacos for $12. Carne asada tacos, El pastor were very tasty. Hubby ordered the Carne Asada fries. We don't need them and we're stuffed with the all the rest! Definitely will go back when I'm back in town. read more

We regularly go here for weekend brunch. Everything is excellent but my favorites are biscuits & gravy and the chili verde. (Best chili verde I've ever had!). Beer menu gives you lots of choices and the serve has always been great. Lunch and dinner choices are also really good but we tend to favor brunch. read more

4 only because of the most uncomfortable stools and chairs I've ever sat on and the menu was a little pricey! The food was delicious - we shared from the appetizer menu. The dipping chili fries were decadent. The giant pretzel was old world style and soft inside with great dipping cheese. The Churros were perfect. We had great fun playing free Bingo (Monday nights) with the other patrons at the bar. read more

If you're coming for the beer, their hazy was delicious and would highly recommend! As for the service, it was mid range.... No one was super friendly and they seemed put out by us being there. The food looked super promising on the menu, but unfortunately wasn't anything to write home about. Ambiance and overall vibe of the place was cool. Overall, it was promising and I had high hopes but fell short of expectations. If I was visiting the area again, I'd only stop in if all I wanted was a delicious beer. read more

We had some really good beers and great food here. The bartender was nice and the seating options are good with a patio, bar and regular tables. It was bingo night too, which was fun. Because of other Yelp photos, I had the carnitas salad which was awesome. The beers: Captain's Cream Ale (great) Boots and Hose Citrus Blonde (very good) Dark Tank Irish Stout (great) Peanut Butter Falcon PB Brown (excellent) read more

The location is great and the staff if very friendly and attentive. Staff is easy 5/5! The food for me was just ok. Fried pickles- the pickles themselves were good but the batter was very bland. The Cajun aioli was delicious but I wish I didn't need to dip every bite to get the flavor. Fish tacos- again, very bland. The batter was lacking flavor and even the fish. Felt like there wasn't even salt there. Good portion and the slaw on top was fine but it needed so much more sauce or the fish to be seasoned. Over all not a bad place but the food left a lot to be desired read more

Hanging out on the Central Coast, we stopped in for dinner at Humdinger Brewing in the Village. We were seated right away and our server was really friendly. We sat inside as the front patio was full. The vibe was cool. Mr. B found a beer and I had a glass of wine. We started off with a dish we love, and their version of Poutine didn't disappoint. Fries topped with rich gravy and covered with Beef Birria and fried cheese curds, life doesn't get much better if given the chance for a last meal, poutine would be it. For dinner, Mr. B went with the fish tacos, and they were topped with crispy slaw. They were really good, the only thing missing was some salt. The fish wasn't salted and was a tad bland. I ordered the mushroom tacos and they were delicious. Parking in the village can be a bit tricky as it is street parking. But we were able to find a spot out front. Just know you may have to search if on a weekend evening. read more

Delicious Turkey sandwich with onion rings. Tasty ranch dressing to go with the rings. We shared one. My sister always orders the Dinger Dog. They have great beers as well, according to my brother who lives in the area. We come here as dogs are permitted on outside patio. Excellent, friendly service. Clean, vibrant environment. They have events in the evenings as well. Check out Humdinger! read more

Was out wine tasting and was hungry for food. Came across this place and was not disappointed. The onion rings here are some of the best I've ever had. I paired those with a Philly cheese steak that was big on flavor. I grabbed a red beer while here and really enjoyed it. We loved it so much we came back the next day for a smash burger. read more

I wish I was a food critic so I could give them a 100 word page turning review. Decided to stop here after driving up for a day at the lake and couldn't be happier with my choice, plates will be licked clean and drinks ( & glasses) are bomb.

What a great night. They had a great band playing some good music. The service was still excellent and the food was delicious as always.

This is my favorite spot in the Village. I've been at least 6+ times since I moved to the area 3 months ago and everything I've had has been superb! I've had the Iceberg Wedge Salad, the Smash Burger, the Poutine Fries, the Birria Grilled Cheese, the sweet potato fries, and the Churros. The churros are literally the best I've ever had (and I order churros every time they are on a menu) Everything is always flavorful, cooked well and reasonably priced All of the beers I've tried are also top notch! Service is always great! Very friendly and attentive! I will definitely continue to come here! read more

We stopped by right before closing time with local resident. She brought us here and recommended the Crispy Dipping Potatoes. They are her favorite and I see why. They are super flavorful and like the name says, "crispy." I also ordered a Dark Tank Irish Stout and Personal Trainer IPA for drinks. Both were really good and locally brewed. Nice ambiance with curbside patio that's pet friendly. We sat it the open-air window seats under the heaters. The staff was friendly and service was good. The waitress helped us with drink recommendations. Will return next time we are visiting. Parking was difficult since the local downtown streets are under reconstruction. Hopefully next time it will be completed. read more

While walking through town, we stumbled upon this spot and were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is great--clean, open, and airy with a relaxed vibe. I liked how the draft menu was projected on the TV, making it easy to browse. The bartender, JD, was incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming experience. I was thrilled to discover what might be the best root beer in the world--Hank's Genuine Gourmet Root Beer. We also tried two beers: the Lawn Order and the Fog Crusher. While the Lawn Order wasn't to my taste, the Fog Crusher was quite enjoyable. Overall, a great find, and I'd definitely return! read more

Love their comfort food and great selection of beers. The sidewalk seating is nice to be able to people watch.

Great beers, food excellent, staff was down to earth and kind, guy on the accordion was a riot. Pooh BEER approved.

What an amazing find this was! We were camping nearby at Pacific Dunes Ranch and we love checking out local breweries when we travel, so we thought we'd give this place a whirl. We were not disappointed! I had the Philly and it was absolutely delicious, those dipping potatoes are fabulous too. My husband loved his pastrami sandwich and the kids and our friends all loved their food too. We tried the IPA and the Hazy and both were great after a long day at the beach. The ambiance is great and service was very friendly and prompt. I hope we can make it back one day! read more

This place has the best smash burger I've ever had. I love that. It's very community oriented. We've gone a couple Monday nights to play bingo and it was a blast. We also love their giant pretzels. The boys go for the beer, but they have wine for me too. It's just a perfect local joint. read more

Ever need a cold one after a hike? If you agree then stop by Humdinger when you're in the area. The "lawn order" beer was perfect, cold and delicious! Came with a large party they quickly accommodated. Started with the burria poutine- excellent! I had the hot pastrami and a second beer, fiance had the Blt which had no shortage of bacon, others had the salmon salad, fish and chips, Korean bbq wings & chicken tenders. Everyone was commenting on how good their dishes were. Thanks for a great weekday lunch Humdinger! read more

Our family really enjoyed a Saturday afternoon on the patio listening to live music. I enjoyed my peanut butter beer and my husband liked his IPA too. The fish and chips were very good, but we felt the taquitos and chili fries on the appetizer menu were so delicious. Their fries are thicker almost like wedges and amazing! My son also enjoyed his kids burger, which was a good portion size. Even though our meal was on the pricier side, I'd definitely go back. read more

Humdinger Brewing in old town A.G. has some pretty good Yelper reviews...on this evening that was the draw. Location is fairly easy to find and there was available street parking. I was disappointed with the atmosphere (looked like a cafeteria) but undeterred due to the reviews of the offerings. The restaurant is more or less open air and that added a chill to our evenings dining experience which did nothing to add to our experience (we left our coats on). The service was just okay and the Servers had no cohesive identifiers (looked like they could have been customers). We ordered two Snacks/Appetizers: FRIED PICKLES w/zesty cajun aioli (4/5) and a "BIG SOFTY" PRETZEL w/cheese sauce, stone ground mustard (4/5) and two Mains: FISH & CHIPS - Humdinger beer battered cod, crispy dipping potatoes, spicy tartar sauce (4/5) and a FRIED HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH - remoulade, cabbage, pickles, Nashville sauce (4/5). Needless to say the food was really pretty good. So why then the given Star rating? As I have mentioned in previous reviews...the dining experience is more than just the food...it's also the atmosphere and general appearance of the establishment, it's the Customer Service and the enthusiasm of the Servers and Crew, it the level of comfort (seating, tables, temperature) experienced during the service and the value one feels given the price of the experience (I felt the total "tab" was high given the venue). So although the food was really pretty good...I wouldn't necessarily describe the total experience as exceptional. Therefore, for this experience...in this Yelper's opinion, Humdinger Brewery in A.G earned a "go if the food is all that matters" average 3 Star review. read more

Did not have a good experience here. It started when the host seated us and made us feel like an inconvenience and only got worse from there. We were a group of four and the last person to order was a vegetarian. Since the menu options were limited, our friend wanted a salad and, from the kids menu, the grilled cheese (she's not a kid). The waiter told us she couldn't order from the kids menu and was so dismissive and condescending that we all offered (to her) to leave but she refused. So she had a salad and didn't get the grilled cheese -- so to recap: not letting her order an additional item from the kids menu means they actually lost out on an order. Brilliant business plan. The food was extremely mediocre (dry, flavorless) and ironically, my friends salad was probably the best dish. But here's why this is a two star review instead of a three star. Look at the one star reviews for this place and read the snarky comments the manager? Owner? Leaves. They are outrageously unprofessional. There are many restaurants within a 2 minute walk from this one where the food is better and when one provides honest feedback they are met with professionalism and humility not an "I'm better than you and don't need your money" response. Pathetic. It's clear why our waiter was as rude as he was, culture starts from the top down. Can't wait for his sarcastic reply. read more
