Creative menu well prepared, Gabby and her support team were super. Recommend the pretzel as an appetizer, salads were fresh and generous. Building is really cool. Everything but the hostess was 5 stars! The hostess must have been having a bad day as she was crabby and didn't communicate very well. Seemed annoyed when seating us initially and was definitely annoyed when we asked to move to a quieter area. read more

Got there and they lost our 10 person reservation. It was a sign of what was to come... an underwhelming disaster of an experience. "Reservation" for 6:30- at 7:15 we still didn't even have water. By 8pm we had drinks and appetizers and by 8:15 we left without eating dinner. The pickles were soggy and unseasoned, the kids chicken chunks ordered for the toddler at the table were dry, hard, and overcooked. The menus were filthy, tables unbussed. It was a no-go for us. read more

What a neat place! While on vacation in the Toledo area we found Maumee Bay brewing. It was great! The atmosphere was super neat and it had a great outdoor patio. The beer selection was really nice and had a ton to choose from! We chose a flight and loved everything we tried! The food was great as well! Don't miss the deviled eggs and chilli as an appetizer. The donut burger was also amazing! One hundred percent recommend! read more

Overall good. We got a sampler flight. The Hefeweizen was pure vinegar and clearly had gone bad. The bartender flipped it out for another beer without asking which one we wanted to try. Would have been nice if he asked what we might want instead and then pulled the Hefeweizen out of tap. If anyone drank that Hefeweizen without knowing that it shouldn't taste like pure apple cider vinegar, I hope their tummy was ok later. Food was fine but took forever to get to us. There were hostesses in the front door who said it would be a 45 minute wait for a table. But we went upstairs and there were plenty of seat yourself tables and space at the bar, so I don't know what that was about. The band playing outside was a nice addition. read more

Gorgeous upstairs and down with warm wood, big windows, and a big bar on each level. We were able to do a tasting- loved it! They have deviled eggs of day - special burger, etc so make sure to ask! I had duck wings, they also have regular chicken wings. My partner- a burger with peanut butter- delicious! We shall return for sure! read more

Stop two on our little brewery tour of Toledo. This place is massive and full of charm and character. This used to be a hotel (Oliver Place is now an apartment building) and there are two floors with tons of space to enjoy. Instead of a flight like I usually try on a first visit, I went with the "Ballgame" Kölsch. Super crisp with hints of caramel and peanuts, the perfect quaff for a ballgame! For dinner, I had the pulled pork sandwich with fresh cut fries and a side of Brussels Sprouts. All was tasty. The sprouts could use work as they were slightly dry and the stumps were still attached. Service was great and the staff was super friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

Beer- 4 stars Apps- 4 stars Atmosphere- 4 stars Food- 2.5 MBB was pretty inconsistent. The space itself is very cool, the converted Oliver House. They offer a variety of beers, wine, and cocktails as well. They have a good menu with a variety of options, burgers, pizza, salads. As others mentioned, the hostesses did not seem to want to be there. She seemed annoyed to seat our group of six, though it was 2pm and was not very busy. Luckily our server was good, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. I do not drink beer, but I did like their cider. My beer drinking friends did like them, rating the beer as a four. We shared the giant pretzel, which really is giant, and the Pickel bread, which was more like pickel pizza. Both were awesome. What was not good was a majority or the rest of our meal. The bread on my sandwich was dry and stale. Quiche was not good, very flavorful less and too soft. Mac and cheese was not cheesy, my friend barely ate any. The potatoes on the brat platter were good, but the brat was not, it was already split and soft, my friend described it as being a tofu dog. The only items that were good were the Cesar salad and the beer cheese soup. Overall: come for the beer and apps, skip a meal read more

Solid food and drinks in a cool old building. Staff are always really nice. Pretzel appetizer is really good and is massive (the size of a medium pizza). Onion Rings, Chicken and Waffle sandwich and Grilled Cheese BLT are excellent. Really enjoyed the build your own Mac and Cheese. Parking can be a bit of a pain at busier times, but that indicates that the food is good. read more

Nothing about our experience was good. We waited at the door for over 5 min without even being greeted. When we finally ordered our food nothing was right. It seemed old. Overcooked and dry. read more

This place can get busy especially when the walleye are playing. There is an upstairs and downstairs seating area. Lots of beer memorbilia. I got the mushroom melt and the Christmas beer. The sandwich was delicious. It came with homemade chips. That was my favorite. I would definitely recommend the homemade chips. Obviously lots of beer options since it's a brewery. Great beer options. Love the glasshopper ipa. The pretzel is huge and def a table share. The spinach artichoke wasn't as thick as I'm used to. Will definitely go back. Great atmosphere. read more

We stopped for a drink. Bartender was awesome. Oktoberfest was Caramel Kiss Martini. Yum. read more

We were there early right at opening for the most part. Lots and lots of parking lots so I assume it gets really busy. We sat close to the bar and I did see there is some patio seating. Tried their white sangria and it is light & refreshing! Ordered the six pack omelette which was full of veggies and sausage almost more than the egg. I think we should check it out later in the day to get and confirm the vibe read more

I used to frequent MBBC for lunches when they 1st opened approximately 30 years ago. I moved to LV for 20 years, and when I returned to Toledo this was one of the restaurants I wanted to go back to for its beer cheese soup and the beer flights. It was delicious, and the decor has the same charm as I remembered . The wood-fired pizza had a nice cheese pull to it, also! Our waitress was very friendly and did a great job assisting us with order choices. I can't wait to come back to check out the patio seating. read more

It's gotten to the point where we'll take a year off in between visits, come back and immediately remind ourselves why we took the previous year off. Food is completely miss over hit, and while the atmosphere is as killer as ever, it's just not worth the frustration of poorly executed food. Yes, the chicken sandwich is still one of the best in the city, but it's going to take a complete overhaul of the menu and kitchen before it will ever come back into our regular rotation. So dang disappointing. read more

We were visiting from out of town and didn't realize how many places were closed on Mondays. We came here seeking beer and pizza. The hostess seated us fairly quickly, given how small the restaurant is. I didn't see any beers I liked, so I tried the Blueberry Muffin cocktail. It was different but not bad. My husband got an ipa, which he thought was alright. We also split a taco pizza and an order of waffle fries. The fries were good. The pizza was mediocre, which was too bad. The crust was really good, but the pizza over all could have been called a hamburger pizza and you wouldn't have know the difference. We added salsa and sour cream, and that helped. It's an okay spot to stop, but I wouldn't seek it out. read more

The food is not that memorable but they do have an extensive menu and I'm sure there's something for everyone here. What was memorable for me was the beer artifacts. They have an impressive wall filled with shelves of different types of beers. On top of that, there's also cases full of vintage beer momentos. This is a fun little place to stop with friends, enjoy some beers and look at some beer history. read more

We stopped in for a quick beer after a visit to the zoo, and had to try the mushroom melt. It was oozing with gooey cheese and had an abundance of very tasty mushrooms. The mushroom broth for dipping made the flavor even better. Great beer selection, and all were excellent! We highly suggest the flight of 6. Super deal, and you'll want to try them all. So glad we stopped in! read more

Stopped in at Maumee Bay Brewing for a late dinner after a trip to the Toledo Zoo Lights Before Christmas. We only had to wait for a table to be cleaned before being seated in the upstairs portion of the restaurant. There is also a full far in this area, and this room also houses the beer vats, so there was a lot to look at. Several tvs around the room playing various channels - a little something for everyone. We started off by ordering a flight - 6 choices for $8.25. This price was lower than we normally pay for a choice of 4 at one of our go-tos in Sylvania. MBBC had a very decent selection to choose from, and a couple of my choices were standouts, in my opinion. Next were the food choices - we both ordered salads since it was later in the evening. Our server was very helpful in making suggestions for both our food and flight. The only knock for our visit at Maumee Bay Brewing Co. was the portion size of the salmon I added to my salad. It was maybe an ounce or 2, and it cost me $7. Needless to say, that was a disappointment. I didn't say anything because of it being so late in the evening. Everything else besides the tiny sample of salmon on my salad was above board. We will visit Maumee Bay Brewing more often. read more

So I am not one to write many reviews and even less inclined to write bad reviews but am compelled to this time. This was not our first time to dine here and we usually had at least acceptable service. Tonight was not one of those times. First we waited about 10 minutes to just get on the wait list as the host was trying to straighten out a to-go order and then was told it would be another 40 minutes. Who knows how many people got in front of us on Open Table as we waited (my fault for not using that in the first place). Ok, we can handle a 40 minute wait I thought. We told the host we would just wait at the bar and he said we could eat there. I politely said, no, we would like a table. I was monitoring the wait list at the bar on my phone and saw we were getting closer to the top and then all of sudden our name was gone. When I inquired about it, I was told he thought we were eating at the bar and took our name off the list. Never told him we were. He did seat us soon after that but if I would not have said anything we would have been waiting forever. After we were seated, we were able to order fairly quickly however it took nearly 20 minutes get a bowl of soup and a plate of Mac and Cheese. But even then after that long wait, the waiter brought out the wrong soup. I also ordered a side of "loaded" mash potatoes and only received regular potatoes. I truly believe he forgot to put our order in and then had to rush to get our food out to us. So it was not just one mistake but a whole series of mistakes that added up to a disappointing dinning experience. It will be awhile before we go back. read more

Cool building and history. We went on a Saturday shortly after opening for "brunch". I ordered the avocado toast and was GREATLY disappointed. The toast was grocery store sandwich bread, the avocado was not seasoned, there was no feta or micro greens on top. My husband's 3 egg omelette definitely was not made with 3 eggs ! Overall the food was subpar at best. read more

Why I was it 3 stars is we sat at our table for 15+ minutes and did not have a server make contact with us and the hostess wasn't happy that we asked for another table so maybe that was the reason.Finally I went to the bar to ask if we could eat dinner @ the bar and the evening turned around bar staff OUTSTANDING! There are a lot of servers so I have no idea why we weren't served. We bought 100.00 of Channel 13 deals and thought we would use some at Maumee Bay since they limit 50.00 per table. Still have 50.00 going to Rockwells next! Love the guy and girl (with the cool glasses) THANK YOU BAR STAFF FOR TURNING AROUND A BAD EXPERIENCE TO A GREAT ONE! read more

Rueben sandwich made with very dry, tough meat. Couldn't detect any dressing on the dry toast. Pretty hard to mess up a Reuben. Cheddar Beer Soup. Not any cheddar I've ever had in my 73 years. To me, tasted like Velveta with corn starch to thicken. No flavor...bland. Very disappointed. I haven't been there in years. Used to go alot in the 1990s and 2000s and they were excellent. Sadly, won't be back. The ladies were very attentive. The facility needs some refreshing...looks tired. read more

I love stouts and Total Eclipse from Maumee Bay Brewing was a great one! With the solar eclipse, several breweries are making a marketing effort to capitalize on it, which is fun. I'm a sucker for a good theme, so I had to check this one out. I must say Maumee Bay has hit a home run with this selection! read more

Went here for lunch today (Thursday) and it was so bad. Very disappointing. I don't know how this places stays in business. Service was on the slow side, even though it was after the lunch rush. The only reason we went there was so my kids could get a giant pretzel. After we ordered and waited a bit the waitress came back and said they were out of them. My dad got a cheeseburger and they forgot the cheese, I got a French dip type sandwich with added onions and mushrooms. They forgot those as well. The au jus that came with it tasted weird and was flavorless for the most part. Since she must have already put in the order for the adult's food and had to come back and get another order for the kids food the adult's food was dry like it had been sitting a while. The waitress offered to have ours remade, but we had already been waiting a while and were hungry so we just dealt with it. We aren't the type of people to really complain, but I do appreciate an apology from the manager or something free, or a portion of the bill being comped for the bad food. Nothing was offered. I have been to this restaurant many times and it has always been fine. Very disappointed in this visit and can't say I'll be back. It's a cute place, but I don't know how it stays in business when it can be that bad. read more

This is a brick building in downtown Toledo. Several stories with a bar (maybe two). There are private rooms that are quaint and I got married in the fireside room. The pretzel was huge and so good! Definitely a must-have! I got the quiche of the day which was ham & tomato. It was good but very light in the ham. Also had a side of fruit. The server was attentive and patient. I'd like to go back and see the rest of the place when I'm not getting married read more

I am anxious to read others take on the "Easter Buffet", as I was extremely disappointed. 50 people in the waiting area and 1 person at desk, total disorganization. Food....frozen carrots...not thoroughly cooked, very dry scalloped potatoes, over done chicken, dessert table with no plates. I could go on but why. On a positive note, server Gabe was excellent and was tipped well. read more

I wanted the twister drink but they were out, so I settled for Hefeweizen ...... not so fast, out of that too so I got the blitzen beer which is not my fav but I choked it down. The service was good. The ambiance was good. The food not so good, new menu, they had to run to the kitchen after I ordered to see if they actually had it. read more

Took out of town family there tonight. They all got the Lake Erie perch dinner. The perch had obviously been frozen was more batter than fish and super thin.

Food is typical bar food quality, but the beer is phenomenal. Love coming here when we visit from out of town.

Absolutely Fantastic! We were doing a staycation this year and planned to go to several new to us restaurants. This was by far our family's favorite one. We grabbed the Large Pretzel for an appetizer, my husband tried two of the beers and loved them both. Then we all got something different. The price was great too! We ended up going on a Monday so two or the kids meals were free. Everyone loved everything. We will absolutely be going back! read more

My food and drinks were good. 2 others in my party had issues with their food not arriving as ordered.

On a given day it was let's visit some brewery's and see what kinda trouble we can get Into as that's always what's good! So coming here I feel like they've taken a hit due to the current situation so my review is tentative based on the beer and the food and I will be willing to give them another shot once things get better as I feel we missed a big portion of what this brewery is all about because of it. First let's start with the building what a beautiful old awesome place like you can just feel the history here and tell that it's huge like for that reason I feel like they are only using a small portion of it but for obvious reasons that's understandable. The brew was definitely the better part of coming here as they were yummy but definitely standard to the other ones I've had at other brewery's like nothing about either of the two that I had made me wanna have another one. The mango Jerry was flavorful but not the taste I expected it to be as it kinda just tasted like some sort of candy along with the roller coaster it was good for a seltzer but not something I'd order again. The fried pickles though those I feel needed some work and just fell short for me as I feel like they were under fried as in they were still gooey in some places inside I feel they could have been much better had they been cooked longer. Our server was awesome she was very knowledgeable and happy to serve us which is always a plus. Overall I can't say I'd run back here but like I stated before I'd definitely be willing to give them another chance at some point to see if I just came on an off day or what but either way it was beer and pickles so I'll let my next experience be the final judge. read more

Really disappointed in our meal Both me and my son ordered Ruebens and onion rings along with a $17 pretzel with cheese. As soon as I touched one of the onion rings I could tell I would not like them. For one thing, the onion rings were soft, too soft and the breading had a weird taste, sent those back. The ruebens were just so-so. When asked to get some extra cheese to take home with our left over petzel, was advised instead of removing the onion rings from our bill, the waitress said she was giving us the cup of cheese for the pretzel instead of taking off the onion rings. Told her to keep the cheese and take the onion rings off the bill. Like I always say, I like to try new places and if I don't like the food, I just wont go back.. read more

Excellent breakfast fast service with a smile will return nice atmosphere omelet was great

Went here with a very large group, a whole hockey team and parents. We had the upstairs room, and it was loud but the servers kept up very well. The bartenders were friendly and told us some local history. Beers were great and they lots of variety. Menu also had a lot of options. I got a salad which was fresh and flavorful, some others got the dill pickle bread and the giant pretzel. Burgers also were a hit. They sell their beers by the can, they had some cool t-shirts to purchase. I would recommend this place for a couple beers with friends, or for a large group like we did. There was even a wedding out back in a fenced lawn area. read more
