    Smoked brisket grilled cheese with fries.
    Tom G.

    I went recently after not having been for a few months and was delighted to find out they added a smoked brisket grilled cheese. I'm a longtime Jack's Abby customer dating back to their original location in a much smaller brewery on the opposite side of route 135. They have always had excellent pizza which I would say is one of the best pizzas in metro west. As for this trip, I was very happy with the brisket grilled cheese and the nicely crisped French fries. The mix of American and cheddar cheese was tasty but most importantly, the brisket was the leading actor as it should be. Other places I've had this often overwhelm the brisket with too much bread or a sauce that takes away from the brisket. I found this one to be well balanced. As for beer, I had the Hoponious Union which is their IPL and most like an IPA. They brew exclusively lagers and closed down their IPA brewery (Springdale) which is why I haven't come as often as I used to. The vibe of the place is definitely brewery / old factory with tall ceilings and open concept overall. You can watch them make pizzas which I always find fun. They have a great outdoor area in the summer that is worth the trip alone. I haven't been this summer yet but they usually upgrade every year and have had corn hole and other games in that area in the past.

    What's not to love? In an area of the country where IPAs are everywhere, it's nice to have a place that's doing lagers right. So many to choose from that we enjoyed great flights so we were able to continue our drive but hubby and I both said we would've stayed in town there just to have more if we could!! Definitely planning to go back! And the food-- OMG get the sweet potato fries and the schnitzel sandwich. As if the beer weren't fantastic enough. Rarely do you find a place that does both extremely well.

    Always a favorite of mine, Jacks Abby delivers with their staple lagers and their rotating seasonal ones, as well as delicious food! The potato and bacon pizza is delicious and we loved trying a couple beers with a flight

    I don't drink a lot of beer, but when I do... I don't drink Dos Equis -- I drink at a microbrewery or at a restaurant the offers a good selection of local craft brews. Luckily for me, there are and ample number of places to choose from near me that fit that criteria. One of them is Jack's Abby Brewing. There's a lot to like about this place. #1: The beer is good. #2: They have ample parking on and off the street. #3: The beer is very good. #4: The food is good. #5: They have great beer. #6 They have indoor and outdoor seating. Did I mention the beer is good ;) The bartenders and servers will guide you to the beer you'll like. And the menu is varied and good. I'd describe is up-scale pub food. The seating beer-hall-style. You'll likely be sitting at a long table with people you don't know, but that's pretty cool really. You get to meet knew people and chat about, well, beer. It's a cool place and if you like craft, local, beer you should stop in. P. S. And I'm not the most interesting man in the world. The first line of this review, and the previous sentence are references to a famous ad campaign for Dos Equis beer.

    Wifey and I came up to the area for the Army-Navy game and wanted to check out a local brewery that served food (they don't have these in Jersey - can't serve food). We decided on Jack's Abby and it was a hit. We were seated immediately and I loved that they have giant long picnic type tables. The place was huge, filled with very happy patrons, and it felt like a place I'd be a regular at if I was from the area. I was impressed with the beer offerings and the food menu was great too. Too early for dinner we just ordered a couple appetizers - we ordered the large hot pretzel and meatballs. Pretzel was excellent with delicious mustard and pub cheese. The meatballs were good, not as good as Wifey's, but still good. The beer options were great and our server was pretty well versed. Wifey and I both did flights Me: Shipping Out to Boston (loved this one - solid flavors for a lighter beer) Copper Legend (a nice simple beer) German Chocolate Cake (very good, but a bit sweet for me) Framinghammers Barrel Aged (my favorite- deep porter taste...I left with a 4-pack) Wifey: Blood Orange Wheat (I could drink these all summer) Copper Legend Framinghammers French Toast (too sweet for me) Cider- another one I could drink all summer. This place was awesome. Great service, great atmosphere, great food and beer...you can't go wrong!!

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich

    Have been coming to Jacks Abby for many years, love getting Hopponious Union fresh on draft. The beer options are good but the food is very hit or miss. Years ago the food was excellent but they have cycled through chefs so food quality is a bit too random for me. Today we had the onion rings which were fantastic. Very flavorful and served with a house made tartar sauce and sriracha sauce. Love! I had the chicken bacon ranch sandwich as well and that was very forgettable. A lot of ingredients in there but little to no flavor and the bun was either stale or just not good. My husband got the shrimp and rice special, just OK. I found it to have an off putting taste. We sat at the new bar area (2023) and found it to feel more like being isolated at an ice cream counter. Didn't have a bar vibe. Won't sit here again. Service lacked attention, had to flag down the server several times. Place was not busy and they had plenty of staff so that is good news.

    I am a beer lover and like to try new breweries. Jacks Abby had been on my list. It is located in Framingham, MA. The Brewery is big with agreat outdoor space. I came here to redeem a prize I won at a gala. So decided to redeem it this past Saturday. One of the perks of this prize was a private brewery rour. It was just me as my friends could not come. I had some food here after my tour. The meatballs and the Pretzel's were very tasty. Highly recommend and the beers were tasty too. During dinner I had a flight. My two tour guides were very knowledgeable and fun Some of my fav beers from here are: Fest of Both worlds, house lager and their blood orange wheat one. I hope to be back here soon.

    I was in Massachusetts for the weekend and was looking for some local craft beer when I found Jack's Abbey on Yelp. Located in Framingham, this brewery has street parking as well as a lot out back. We sat inside at a long brew house table as it was raining out, but they have a large outside area as well. It is a large brewery and I was impressed at their beer list. Despite their shirts saying "lagers", they also had a variety of IPAs, sours, and a few stouts. What I really loved at Jack's Abbey was their food menu. It can be tough to find a brewery that not only has their own kitchen instead of a food truck, but one that takes as much pride in their food as their beer. Not only did I enjoy my flight of beer, but the artichoke dip with pita was delicious. We were a group of 5 on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was busy. 3 different servers introduced themselves throughout our time there, which was confusing. After asking the second server if we should order through him or via the QR code, he gave us an honest answer and recommended ordering from our phones. All of our beers and food came out promptly using this method! This is a great place to go with a group with varied tastes in both food and beer!

    Jack's Abby Craft Lagers is a craft brewery that opened in Framingham, Massachusetts in 2011. It was founded by brothers Jack, Eric and Sam Hendler. Jack has a degree from the Siebel Institute and began brewing at a brewpub in Boston. Eventually the three brothers decided to go into business together and launch their own brewery that would exclusively brew lagers. They took up residence inside the old Dennison Manufacturing building. Although Boston is known for being the home of the Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Eastern Massachusetts at this time was the birthplace of the 'New England IPA' craze. It seemed very unlikely that a brewery that only made elegant, clear, crisp lagers would have a chance succeeding in a landscape where craft beer drinkers were waiting in long lines to purchase thick, hazy, sweet, intense ales. Against all odds, Jack's Abby found their fan base. Today Jack serves as the brewmaster, Sam as the CEO, and Eric as the Finance Director. In 2024, Jack's Abby purchased Wormtown Brewery. This new acquisition makes Jack's Abby the largest craft brewing facility in Massachusetts and one of the ten largest family-owned brewing operations in the country. The brothers founded the new parent company 'Hendler Family Brewing Company', which collectively owns Jack's Abby, Wormtown and Jack's Beverage Company (their contract brewing arm). I recently visited Jack's Abby while I was cycling around the Framingham area. The brewery has been on my bucket list for a long time. Although I definitely tend to prefer ales over lagers, Jack's Abby never ceases to amaze me because I would swear that some of their beers actually are ales. My visit happened to coincide with the brewery's annual 'Maifest'; I had no idea until I actually got there. There were all sorts of festivities including people dressed up in traditional lederhosen, German foods, a dance around the Maypole, and live music from a German brass band. The tasting room was beautiful; it was designed to look like a traditional, big Bavarian beer hall. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered a taster flight which consisted of "Mexican Lager", "Arctic Bloom" (IPL), "Modern Märzen", and "Maifest" (Festbier). Every single beer was so crisp and refreshing. Of course I needed to grab some German grub too. After looking over the special Maifest Menu, I ordered the "Potato Pancakes" (arugula, pickled onions, sriracha mayo) and the "Maifest Pizza" (bratwurst, hotdogs, banana peppers, sliced onion, pickles, fresh mozzarella, oregano). Both plates disappeared relatively quickly. I had a fantastic experience at Jack's Abby and I'm so happy I went during Maifest!

    Bohemian Dusk, a dark lager!
    Alden C.

    Recently had two different lagers from Jack Abby's and it was a fairly good experience. Perhaps not the best lagers I have had but tasty enough for sure. Part of it may be that I may be a lager snob too. We had two different beers from this brewery. One was their Czech Bohemian Pilsner named Sunny Ridge which had a sweet, dry flavor to it. Crisp and refreshing start. The next was called the Bohemian Dusk, a Dark Lager with malty, bready and roasty flavors. Dark and smooth in body this was a fairly decent dark lager but yet again not necessarily the very best in my long history of brewery wondering and adventuring but still respectable beers.

    We finally stopped into this local brewery after hearing rave reviews from friends. We were seated right away and our waitress Callin came right over to see what we would like. She then took the time to explain the different types of beer and her recommendations to my wife. She was wonderful. We tried several types of beer and each one was so full of flavor and unlike some we have had no bitter after taste. We then tried the food as well. The grilled brisket sand and the chicken BLT. The food came out so fast we were concerned. There was no reason, both were perfectly cooked and delicious. The crowd was lively and fun and they had a great singer playing while we were there. We will definitely be back with a group next time

    We came in after a long day and were pleasantly surprised by the welcoming atmosphere.. not a dive bar or rowdy at all. Our server was super sweet and had a tone of good suggestions. The food was superb and hot.. can't wait to come back again.

    Taste testing flight (included on the tour!).

It's located right at the entrance of an industrial area. There is a very small lot for parking but it was completely full when we visited today, so we parked along the road where a number of other cars were also parked. This seemed to be okay and the signs just requested folks not park on the grass. The entrance is set back from the street so you kind of need to go around towards the back. We saw they had a food truck, Farm to Sandwich, which although kind of pricey, was super delicious. We both got the All American Smash burger with fries. Fries were so crisp and well crafted and the burger was amazing with a great sauce reminiscent of a Big Mac. For beers, since it was our first time here, we decided to try a bit of everything with flights. Their flights are $13 for 4, 5 oz pours. I chose the Coffee Milk Stout, You are Such an Ass, Bienvenu and Justin's Jangle. We started which the You are Such an Ass IPA, which was described as a light IPA but really didn't taste like an IPA at all. We honestly thought they had poured us the wrong beer. As IPA enthusiasts, this was disappointing. The Bienvenu, which is a Red Ale with Panela (unrefined Colombian sugar cane) was infinitely better. The Coffee Milk Stout, I understand is very popular, but I thought this was average. Justin's Jangle, a Maple Praline Porter was my favorite! Really nice, complex brew! We also really enjoyed the live music from Jake Frezza, a local musician out of North Providence. He sang and played guitar and covered a diverse sampling of songs including Brittney Spears (Toxic), James Taylor and Marvin Gaye. His version of "What's Going On" was particularly excellent. I normally dread listening to live performers at breweries but this guy is actually very talented! Kudos to Ravenous for engaging such a high quality musician! Also, for a Saturday, it was not overcrowded or over run with kids. There was just one family with a super quiet baby and we noted just one dog inside. On exiting, I saw they have a nice memorial where they offer to pour a beer to a fallen service member. Very nice! Gender neutral restrooms Pinball Separate rooms make it quieter than breweries in just one big industrial space. Friendly service at the bar and no lines! Bar stools with no back, kind of uncomfortable and there seemed to be no other seating options like chairs or sofas. In summary: Highlights: Bienvenu Red Ale Justin's Jangle Jake Frezza live music Nice memorial to fallen soldiers Low Lights: You are Such an Ass IPA Barstools/ seating Would definitely stop back here again when in the area!
