    Fish and Chips
    Vivian J.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    A nice place! We're sitting street-side with our pup playing Yatzee and enjoyed some great beer and amazing Turkey Sub, A Garden Salad, and Onion Rings. A friendly environment with great beer and food. Highly recommend!!!!

    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.

    Carne Asada Fries
    Kristi B.

    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.

    Chili cheese fries
    Karen S.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    Fish tacos
    Jose M.

    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

    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.

    Shared Turkey sandwich with onion rings. Yummy!
    Trina P.

    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!

    Decided to branch out and try out Extreme Wild Wings for dinner and was super excited! However,…read morethings started to go the wrong way (unfortunately). First of all, we were excited to try out their draft beers and eat wings while playing some card games. However, their draft was not available - my partner wanted to go a different day when they did have the draft beer available but I insisted on trying it out anyways since I was already hungry. We ordered the 15 pc wings with large fries and 2 dips (honey mustard and ranch). For wings we got hot honey (5), bomber (5), and nashville heat (5). The wings were okay, it could of been crispier and honestly, the sauce fo rthe bomber didn't really stick to the chicken wing. The fries were okay as well, nothing special. Now, for the service review, they had great service which is probably the only thing that made me rank this 2/5 stars. Our first order was returned due to finding a hair in the wings (it was a long hair). We called them and they were nice enough to provide a refund and remake our order which not a lot of businesses do. They were super understanding and kept checking on us as well.

They have a solid variety of wings and sauces, and they nailed the extra crispy request. The mozzarella sticks and onion rings were also on point. Plus, with sports games on every TV, a pool table, and arcade games. The owner was so welcoming and the staff was very helpful. Definitely will be coming back..

She remembered us from our visit back in November (7 months ago) and even remembered where we sat at the bar. Really shows how much they care about their guests. Kristen was so friendly, greeting everyone as they came in, and you could immediately tell this is a true local hangout where people know each other. That's the kind of place that makes a community feel special; it has a warm, comfortable, homey atmosphere. The music was perfect for the crowd! They had the first World Cup game playing, which made it a fun spot to relax while we waited. The food and drinks hit the spot; I am not a fan of Brussels Sprouts but I couldn't stop eating these. Loved how the French fries stayed crispy with the batter added! The overall experience was exactly what we were hoping for. We will be back, next time we are in town.

This summer they changed the menu quie a bit and also we have noticed the quality has gone down. My daughters chicken nuggets went from made fresh to frozen. Burgers went from a full size burger to barely over a slider. Fries are still really good along with cocktails. Bees knees and Jalisco Summer are the favorites for cocktails. Customer service is always pretty straight forward with young kids serving. No issues ever. Great casual dining setup but also good place to watch game. Bar is always busy when we go. We are little bummed as this was our go to spot and now its going to force us to look at other options but we will return as the Cubano still shows promise and the fries with ranch are amazing.
