We went off our route a bit to get here for lunch as we all enjoy breweries and distilleries. We arrive and were greeted and seated quickly by smiling folks behind the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a beautiful still and the distillery and brewery equipment are all on display alongside the restaurant and bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fairly typical small town bar & grill layout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On this day, we ordered at the bar. I'm not sure if that's always the case. We got a variety of entrees and all six of us liked our meals. Tri-tip steak sandwich, French Dip, tacos, fish and chips, and I got frog legs and deviled eggs from the apps menu. Everything was tasty. However, they only had 3 of their own beers on tap and no tastings available of their spirits. Said their brewer and distiller hadn't been in for quite awhile so production was behind. I wish them well as they work thru their absences and ailments. The two beers I tried, a porter and a schwarzbier, were ok. So, right now, it's a fine eatery, but a disappointing brewery & distillery. read more

I'm usually not so picky, but this server pushed all the wrong buttons. Looking over previous reviews, I agree when Anonymous said, "The service is poor here. The owner needs to do better when it comes to service." My wife and I have been here six or seven times and have noticed the service has been steadily going downhill. This place was empty, and the server behind the bar was accommodating when there wasn't anything more pressing, like answering the phone. Our party of four ordered four entrees, two appetizers, and some beer and sodas. My beer flight and my wife's beer came out lukewarm. When the appetizers came out with the meal, the server told me that if I wanted the appetizers before the entrees, I should have told her when I placed the order. (She didn't bother to ask when I wanted them.) She doesn't seem to understand that an appetizer is a dish of food served before the main course of a meal to stimulate one's appetite. My sides of tater tots were so cold, I took them back to the counter to get reheated. I was very disappointed in my Tuesday lunch. Hopefully, you will have better luck than us. read more

First time having frog legs and they were absolutely delicious! Kinda pricey $18.00 for 6 single legs. They were fantastic though and I would totally buy them again. My most favorite thing on the menu was the short rib pot pie but it's no longer on the menu. I was totally looking forward to it. I asked the bartender and also the owner and they said it was a seasonal item I figured early January when it's raining and freezing outside would be the perfect season for it, the bartender shrugged his shoulders and the owner didn't really have an answer. But I found it funny they have the peach flatbread in the dead of winter, not being in season. Lol. I did order the peach flatbread and it was spicy and delicious! The restaurant and bathrooms were both so very clean. Like sparkling! Absolutely wonderful experience here and I look forward to coming to this location again and again. read more

This is my third visit to Lake Bottom. I walked in thrilled to see the Sweet Melissa Amber still on tap. Yay for me ! My boyfriend had the Koopa Troopa. We decided on the Chicharrones as an appetizer. They were sooo good. Onto our second round of beers we sampled a couple of other brews before ordering. They do charge for the tasters but it's a hefty pour. The Tule Fog and Willie's Revenge for me. Both Ambers, they had hints of citrus which sounds good but I choose to stick with Melissa and even purchased some to take home with me. They have kept well which reminds me I've got half a can left that's dying to get down into my belly. One of the owners even treated us to a sample of some cold sliders that may be on the menu for the summer. They'd be great for a hot summer day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walk up and order then they bring it out to you, liquor served as well, bathrooms were clean, music went between Spanish and rock. Cool vibes all around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So besides the snacks and beer being delicious. It was really great to see Fred (part owner) after so many years and see how he is a part of a great addition to Corcoran Downtown. We wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you in August. read more

This place has been on my to-do list for a while.. For staff appreciation we this appreciation we decided to get lunch here. I was able to call in my order. One big drawback is it took longer than the estimated time period I ordered a beer battered chicken Burger.I requested pesto sauce on the Burger with a side of garlic aoil and a side of ranch. Unfortunately those instructions were Forgotten. I received my chicken Burger with a small is small amount of pesto sauce and no garlic sauce. I must say the chicken was battered and seasoned very well. I also had a side salad which was OK perit's us OK. All of the sauces fell his sauces fell over and opened due to the lids not fitting properly. Other than that I think I would try them again. I would hope that they would be more timely the next go round. read more

This place deserves 6 stars for flavor, service, and ambiance! Our waitress Kelsie made our teen feel cared for as she helped find an allergry friendly meal...she got to eat with confidence that she wouldn't have an allergic reaction. Kelsie talked to the chef and even brought out ingredients for us to double check. My dairy allergy daughter had a delicious steak and fries....literally was hog heaven! The rest of us omnivores shared bites of our Grilled Peach Salad, Vito Flatbread Pizza, Steak Sandwich, Cheeseburger, and homemade potato chips. Every bite was worth the calories! Not soon to be forgotten was the beer flight with six unique samples, all brewed in house! We will be back as this place is well worth the drive from Porterville; so thankful our teen's softball game brought us in to town! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lake Bottom made us slow down! This is a local place and the locals seem to love it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a gift card and decided to head over from Fresno on a Saturday early afternoon. They were only serving breakfast which ended up fine. Service was slow but the vibe matched the service. We test tasted some of the local beers. There are some pretty darn good local ones. We preferred the dark brews. We ordered omelets and man - these were excellent. Huge portions and fresh. The price was also great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We obviously stood out but were made to feel at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am not sure we'd ever make the trip again just to go here but it was a solid and yummy. It made us slow down and just enjoy our early afternoon outing. read more

This place was pretty decent. My buddy and I were in town and decided to have lunch here and we weren't disappointed. Food was great service was great and I wish they had a location in Fresno lol I'd be a regular. We started off with chips and salsa and a big ass pretzel. The chips and salsa were just ok but the big ass pretzel was bomb!!! I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and it was probably the best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had, the only thing that was missing from it was bacon haha. Everything is better with bacon. The ambiance was pretty cool and I'm looking forward to coming back again. read more

Myself and five other girlfriends came to Lake Bottom Brewery Distillery for lunch. Arrived at noon on a Tuesday, found ourselves a table and a fellow brought us menus within the first few minutes. Took our drink order, which I asked for a margarita and half hour Later I still didn't have it so I had to ask for it again and received it fairly quickly. About 35 minutes in the two of us that ordered soup got our soup. 4 of us got our main course (burgers & sandwich) after 45 minutes. My friends that ordered salad and fried zucchini waited ONE HOUR for their food.... I will say that my grilled cheese sandwich was very very good. But I will never come back to this restaurant again. Service was so so... waiting that long for food is just unacceptable, and the restaurant was about 1/3 full read more

Regular, Cucumber, Margarita, Blue Lagoon, and Grapefruit jalapeño...a little light on tequila, buy an extra shot of their well tequila to correct the deficiency. $1 Ground Beef tacos, needed salt but the salsa was delicious just the right enough heat to flavor. $2 Shrimp tacos delicious as well. Must get the flight to get the taco deal. Overall, I'd say they're offering an excellent value. read more

Finally had the chance to try out this spot. We arrived just as the place opened for the day. We were immediately greeted by a worker and chose to sit at the bar. There are multiple tables and TV's but we were wanting to try their craft, locally brewed beer. Paul tended to us at the bar and took his time answering all of our questions and made suggestions based on what we were looking for. I like ambers so he suggested the Sweet Melissa. I tried Sweet Melissa it was crisp and refreshing. The perfect Amber beer in my opinion. My husband tried the Tule Fog and really enjoyed it. Paul was generous enough to suggest a sample of their "moon shine." We sampled the lemon and the strawberry and they were both amazing. We wanted to try some food so we opted for an appetizer. We tried the peach habañero wings, they were cooked to the bone and had a good texture. If you want something spicy though these wings are not going to give you that. They have a full bar and a full food menu which is really nice as most breweries don't offer food. They have growlers to go and the atmosphere is chill. Paul was a great bartender, very information on their brews and extremely personable. We'll be back to try some food and maybe the rest of the beer menu. I'm looking forward to Sweet Melissa! read more

They have great wings! We have friends that enjoy beer. This is the place to take them too. They have great pub food. Their servings have gotten a little smaller since opening but that's not surprising ( growing pains). Some of the cocktails are great and others are mediocre, it truly depends on your palate. WARNING: pay attention to your bill. We usually don't because we enjoy entertaining guests. However, we have been charged for bottles of wine when only glasses were ordered. There have have been other occasions when my husband just pays the bill but the charges DO NOT match the amount we ordered. Again we feel it is just growing pains, but it's a learning opportunity. We have had great and fast customer service and there have been some not wonderful moments. I will say that my favorite server so far is Jared! Keep it up! Those s read more

I'm giving this place three stars mainly for the price to portion of food. Been here twice for lunch. The food was pretty good that's why I'm not giving it a lesser rating. First time I ordered the tri-tip sandwich. It comes on a small roll and three layers of meat. It also came with a side salad and I bought a coke. Total price was $23 w/taxes. Honestly I've had bigger tri-tip sandwiches at fundraisers for less. The second time I had the cobb salad. It came in a fairly good sized bowl but with 6 thin slices of chicken. I got a coke on the side and total price came out to $21 w/taxes. $16 for the salad and $3.50 for the coke. I know it's a salad and not a full meal but for that price it should come with an entire breast! It's a great looking place especially for being in Corcoran and I'm sure the beer is good but I probably won't be back here to eat. Maybe I'll stop by for happy hour. read more

First time here. We ordered wings and a charcuturie platter, nothing but goodness. And the beer....loving it. Oh and they distill. A one stop wonder. Servers, Jose and Val where nothing but excilent. The cook Matt C was on his game. Nothing but great food and company. read more

We made reservations two weeks in advance. They knew we were traveling to and from the restaurant on the train and so were on a schedule. We were there from about 2:45-5:00 pm. We had a party of about 20 people. We waited around 45 minutes just for our first drink. And our food had to be given to us in to go boxes because it came out right when we had to leave. They had only two people waiting on tables, and from what we could see there were plenty more people just standing around in the back that should have been working/helping ?? And on top of all that the food was burnt and did not taste good. Would not recommend to anyone. The Visalia location on the other hand had excellent food and service. read more

Decent food, but your order takes forever to come out. Came here on a Saturday afternoon & aside from some people having beer, we were the only food order. It took an hour to get a salad, hamburger & fries. Employees are friendly, but it is just ridiculous to wait that long for an order. I could get faster service & better food at Black Bear or Dennys. read more

Great beer and service! Best local spot to frequent! Check out the Bottom Feeders Mug Club!

If you want cold, expensive food and poor service then this is the place for you. We went to eat there on Saturday and we waited 40 minutes for our drinks from the bar. The food was cold and the waitress forgot part of our order. The waitress was slow and didn't check on us to see if we needed anything. I heard from so many people about the poor service and how long it takes to get your food, however I can attest this is to be true from my own experience. I will never go back and I urge you not to waste your time. $100 for cold, bland food and unimpressive drinks. Ridiculous. read more

We picked Lake Bottom in Corcoran based in part on reviews and in part on the menu of both food and their brews. Our singular disappointment: no more Bavarian Pretzels! Seriously though, we had fried chicken and waffles sliders, Mac and cheese balls, flat bread pizza (the Vito), and Tule Fog and Whitney Wheat beers. Everything was great! The pizza was delicious though the crust was a little different than a typical flatbread style: a bit softer. The Mac and cheese balls were, well, what would you expect: delicious. Crunchy outside, nicely cooked pasta and the right amount of cheese inside. The sliders: top of the chart!! Spicy honey glaze was great and the actual waffle was very tasty alone. Very good. Only regret is we got full and didn't try their various smoked meats. Next time. Buffalo cauliflower also very tasty (thanks Joe!) We also enjoyed the brews. Tule is a nice IPA: not so hoppy your face goes inside out and hoppy enough to have great flavor and go well with the food. The wheat was also tasty and very easy to drink. Best part of the experience: amazingly friendly staff at this family-run operation and the crowd was awesome! Very nice, ingratiating people who made us feel at home though we were passing through. read more

I went with my husband and mother in law since she lives in Corcoran and take her to a nice dinner. (I understand it's a brewery so I will definitely go back to try the tastings). We waited a very long time it took at least 45 min to have our food arrive. The staff weren't rude but they didn't try to ease the wait as we were their waiting quite a while with only about 4 other tables waiting. I ordered the vino flatbread which in my opinion was really good we also ordered the butterfly shrimp as an appetizer which arrived after the food and to my surprise didn't seem fresh it looked like something you order at a fast food restaurant. my husband was not happy about that. The establishment itself is really nice to look at, very clean. I recommend going for lunch and not dinner. Needs enthusiastic staff and better time management. read more

If I could give this establishment negative stars I would! Horrible experience! Idk if this is intentional or if the staff just don't care! But there is no structure in this place at all! I'd be ashamed to claim to be the owner of this establishment! What a joke this place is! I will definitely not be coming back! You would think that because of the amount of time we waited for our food that at least the food would come out good but that was not the case! read more

My experience at this place wasn't very good. The servers was so slow, first took more than 15min for them to bring us the menu and more 20 min to bring us drinks. We only ordered appetizers lake Fries and chicharrones and I wasn't impressive. They do have a lot of options for beers. My husband had to go after the waiter a couple of times because he definitely forgot about us. I'll never come back. read more
