Let me preface this by saying I've about had it with the so-called breweries popping up everywhere,…read moreeach one seemingly more committed to clichés than the last. You know the drill: no table service, order at the bar using a kiosk or an iPad, which makes you feel less like a customer and more like a data entry clerk. And don't even get me started on the servers who act like they're doing you a favor by taking your order. Then there are the long lines to order your drinks and food, which completely destroy any semblance of a pleasant customer experience. Waiting in a queue that resembles a theme park line just to get a drink ruins the whole vibe (this is an ABSOLUTE dealbreaker for us). Oh, and let's not forget the chaotic atmosphere--kids running amok, dogs, and live bands cranking out tunes that make it impossible to hold a conversation. It's a sensory overload that just isn't my cup of tea. Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's get to the beer. We ordered a flight, which is the trendy way to say "sampler," and I must admit, one or two out of the six beers were decent--particularly the hazy IPA, which was a bright spot in an otherwise dull lineup. Most of the other brews were solid but forgettable, a far cry from the unique, crafted experiences that breweries claim to provide. Overall, we did enjoy the beer! As for the food, it was a parade of disappointment. We tried the garlic and Parmesan wings, shrimp tacos, and, of course, the infamous Bent burger. Ah, the Bent burger--a prime example of how a simple, delicious hamburger can be completely ruined by a slew of unnecessary toppings. Instead of sticking to the classic approach of a juicy patty, they decided to throw on pork, a fried egg, and a medley of other ingredients that clashed rather than complemented each other. It was a chaotic mishmash of flavors that worked against itself, leaving me wondering why anyone thought this was a good idea. Gimmicks like that are rarely a recipe for success in my experience. The tacos and wings? Equally lackluster. The wings were bland, devoid of any real flavor punch despite the garlic and Parmesan claims, and the tacos were so underwhelming they could have been served at a school cafeteria. In summary, Bent Run Brewery is just another cog in the wheel of craft beer clichés, serving up a loud atmosphere, long lines, and gimmicky food that fails to impress. If you're looking for a genuine experience with great beer and simple, tasty food, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. If you are able to "plug in" to this nonsense, then it's worth a try.

Upon calling the staff was friendly and helpful and said they would wait to put our order in as we were 30 min out and wanted our food hot. It was ready on arrival and were also able to get carry out beer. She included plastic ware in case we needed it. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. Would definitely go back if we were in the area again. Thanks for a great fast experience.

The other brewery has the more visible Main St location, but it was very dark inside and heavy metal music was playing loudly. Mechanistic is just around the corner and has a much warmer, brighter vibe with a lot of outdoor tables.

Our bartender was friendly and welcoming, and mentioned they weren't officially open that day except for the event, so we appreciated being welcomed in. I ordered a pumpkin beer and it was SO GOOD. I've had several recently, and this was my favorite. It tastes like a slice of fresh pumpkin pie, smooth and sweet but not overly so. Would definitely return here.

I was looking for a place with a hearty vegan option half-way between Toledo and New York City…read morewithout going too far off the highway and it seemed like Station 101 would fit the bill- a Black Bean Burger made in house, some tasty nacho options, and I even called ahead to confirm we could get a hearty vegan option, and confirmed it was! Yay! Unfortunately, when we arrived, the last Bean Burger had been sold and the black beans listed as a side were actually cooked in some heavy butter... so it became one of those stops where only French fries were the hot vegan option... because who wants a cold salad when it's 20°F?! In any case, the server was very nice about it and the Craft Beer was still vegan, and because we called ahead about the vegan burger option, they even comped the fries for running out. So- disappointed it wasn't as hearty as we hoped for a vegan on our arrival- but very kind to apologize with comped fries. For those who weren't vegan- the French Dip on ciabatta was on special and sooooo good. I don't like horseradish and it didn't overwhelm the flavor, so it was absolutely perfect! The pulled pork melt with crispy fried onions and bbq sauce was also excellent with a very crunchy buttered thick Texas toast bread. Excellent food when it's available- and hoping for a few more vegan options because Pennsylvania towns are a bit of slim pickings if you don't want to eat animal products!
