I've been to The Growler quite a few times and have always had a great experience. I decided to swing in this week while back in town and it really held up. The staff working the bar are consistently awesome - they're personable, quick, and extremely helpful. The beer is always well poured. Their food is always great for the atmosphere. Some places tend to get lazy when serving bar food, but that is not the case for The Growler. There is so much seating available if you are planning to hang out with friends, and they have a few tvs and games available for use. It is somehow also a great spot for working - I have typed many, many papers here and have somehow never been too distracted despite this place often being filled with groups of people.

The bartender did not look at us once and when my brother asked if he had any recommendations or a favorite, he responded "no" without even looking up. When I asked for 2 drinks I was told they were out which was fine, but then I asked what they did have and was told, "look if it has a cap on it". The Growler was something my family was looking forward to since they were coming for the first time from Connecticut and had heard good things, but the bartender made it seem like we weren't wanted there. I did not end up getting a drink which was an unfortunate way to end my graduation night.

Memphis Filling Station Brewery is doing things right for people who actually care about beer. The…read moretap list shows real attention to style accuracy and balance, with clean fermentations and well-executed recipes across the board. Whether you're into hop-forward beers, malt-driven styles, or something a little more experimental, there's usually something on tap worth dissecting. What stands out is the consistency -- no obvious flaws, no shortcuts, just solid brewing fundamentals. The beers drink the way they're supposed to, which is honestly refreshing in the Memphis craft scene. The staff knows the product and can talk process, ingredients, and style intent without the usual buzzwords. If you're the type who checks clarity, aroma, and finish before taking the second sip, Memphis Filling Station Brewery belongs on your regular rotation.

Service is solid. It's on a different level with the atmosphere and plates posted up high. Burgers and fries are excellent. It's worth a visit for the popular brews from around the country. Dogfish Head, Sierra Nevada, and the local greats. Certain items go on rotation for sometime and then leave to return later like the chicken and chips. Those are pretty good. Their giant pretzels are outstanding too! Overall a nice place to relax and have a drink at.

The burgers are medium-sized, but they also offer a double burger option. I usually choose the regular cheeseburger, but this time I tried the "Chiflet," made with Snake River Farms Wagyu beef and topped with applewood smoked bacon, egg, and American cheese on a potato bun. Absolutely delicious! They also feature a daily burger special, which keeps the menu interesting. The crinkle fries are consistently hot and pair perfectly with the burgers. On top of that, they offer a great selection of both imported and domestic beers. The staff is always super friendly. Overall, it's a great spot to grab a burger, hang out, and enjoy the atmosphere.

I had the Dr. Gonzo burger which had a burger patty, Swiss cheese, grilled onions, and bacon. Great choice of yummy ingredients to make a solid burger. The burger is kind of small but I was full after inhaling the fried and perfectly seasoned crinkle cut fries. The fry sauce was a total Hit! Service was good. Our server Becky was very friendly and helpful. The place has tables and chairs and high top tables too. The bar is dark but they do have some picnic tables near the entrance for more light. Bathrooms were clean and had a lot of personal signatures and art. I am going to return to get a different kind of burger.

When it came to service however, it was severely lacking. Slow, understaffed and rude. I like to look at how a restaurant or bar's higher staff treat their employees. Bar Fontaine's managing staff should be VERY ashamed. I heard management tell off a server and bartender for making a very basic mistake and when I asked them how they liked working there, they simply replied "if I could do it over I would." According to them, the management is super nice to the customers but not to the employees constantly starting drama and making it difficult for an employee to keep their job. The head chef is also apparently a real a-hole and says inappropriate suggestive comments to their female staff as well, the server was telling me. When I was walking out of the hotel on the last day of my stay I encountered one of the managers and talked to them to see how they would treat me. It was an older woman with glasses. She treated me like an old friend which normally I would have enjoyed but this time I was absolutely disgusted. Just from what I was told, I will not be giving service to them again and will not stay at the hotel.

Peep my pics for some funny shots of your random white boy synchrony in nature. I have had several meetings out here as well. They do serve some small plates and other items to snack on during normal times. They do have some inside seating as well, but I dig the patio. They always seem to have something special, most unique, and damn tasty on their taps. My wife loves finding the fruity and funky beers that will carry. Me.... Just give me a damn IPA and let's move right along. Once, she had a beer thick with orange pulp and it as the most unique brew I have ever tasted. She has been chasing it since to no avail. To me, it was shit, to her, it was the next pinnacle to which nothing else has compared since. We come during Cooper Young Festival every year and the service can be a bit snippy and rushed. It actually pisses me off sometimes. I do understand the need to get people through the place quickly, but you can do so without being as curt and laconic. We will return, without a doubt. I do love beer. My only suggestion would be a corral of puppies to pet while you get wasted. That would be pretty rad, maybe like a puppy rental system could work. '24 - 3/100

When given my bill, I was thankful I looked at it carefully. At the bottom there is a charge that says "Service Charge 20%". What is that? I asked the bartender and she said it's a tip. Then why not right "tip" instead of a "service charge?" I can only imagine how many people don't look at the bill and add a tip, which is why they do this. It's just not good business practice to try and sneak things by customers. On the other receipt that you get that you need to sign, there is a line for a "tip." so on the receipt you signed it says tip, but on the actual first bill that they gave you it says service charge. Again, they are switching around the verbiage to trick people into giving more money. This is a very slimy business practice. I can only imagine how many people write a tip on there not knowing that 20% was already added to their bill. Unfortunately, I just cannot support a business like this and won't return.
