Went on a Saturday to grab a beer…read more Definitely marketed for the millennial with kids. Everywhere you look it was a kid's birthday party. Loud, over stimulating but with great chairs and shade. We snuck in a side door so I think you're supposed to get through a greeter to reserve a table. We found two chairs by the kiddy raceway and sat watching kids try and peddle bicycles. Might go back but not on a weekend. Good selection of beer!

Had bought their beers before at HEB and enjoyed them so thought I'd check the brewery out since we…read morein the area. Cool spot overall but very odd how much it seemed marketed toward kids. As if Chuck E Cheese got into the beer brewing industry. Had to use my phone to first sign a waiver, which is odd and felt like a ploy to be able to get your information probably for marketing. Also had to use your phone in order to order food even though I was standing at the counter speaking to an employee. Tried the mini corn dogs and fries. Both tasted frozen which was a letdown since breweries usually have great food. The beer is definitely the star of the place though as it should be. Will continue to buy it in the stores but wouldn't return to the brewery.

I visited Maple Branch Craft Brewery for a journaling event on a Saturday right when they opened at…read more11 am. I wasn't familiar with the area, but parking was incredibly easy thanks to their large parking lot. One of the first things I noticed was the beautiful patio area. The large double doors open up to a covered outdoor space with a fountain in the center. There is shade thanks to trees and umbrellas so this is a nice place to have brunch at. Inside, there were several long communal tables that seemed perfect for events and larger groups. I was also impressed by their events calendar and even spotted an upcoming event I'm planning to attend, which makes me excited to come back. On this visit, I tried a glass of wine and the giant pretzel. The pretzel was fresh, soft, and paired nicely with the wine. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the cheese dip. It wasn't bad, but I personally think a simpler cheese sauce would be better. I liked that there was a separate coffee shop area. It's a great option for anyone who wants to enjoy the space without drinking alcohol, making it feel welcoming to a wider variety of guests. Ps. They had a nugget ice machines and self serve water station I really liked that!

You order at the counter, you get a number to take to your seat(s), then servers bring you your food. You pick your own table, either indoor or outdoor. Our group of 9 ordered at around same time with 2 cashiers. Our food came very sporadically, one of us didn't get her salad & dish 30+ minutes AFTER everyone else started eating. We got the pizza we were sharing within 20 minutes after we sat down, BUT our salad didn't come until 45 minutes AFTER THE PIZZA! Now the food... Maple jalapeños bacon pizza was so good, with a kick. Prosciutto goat cheese pizza was ok, not enough flavor. Warm pretzel was soft & melted in the mouth, but the cheese dip had a bitter aftertaste. Cesar salad was loaded with croutons & Parmesan shavings. I personally loved a lot of Parmesan shavings, but could use a bit more lettuce & a little less croutons. The fries are good, nice & crispy. PORTIONS ARE PRETTY GENEROUS, you can definitely share a pizza & a salad with 1-2 other(s) depending on how hungry you are. 3 stars because disorganized servers & food is hit or miss.

This is the most welcoming and coolest bar in the world…read more This massive, high-energy outlaw country space is an amazing, unpretentious venue you must see. The double-story building is a large, open Texas beer hall that blends modern and traditional saloon styles with an intentionally eclectic, whimsical vibe reminiscent of a theme park. For instance, the bathroom doors look like jail cells with hands on the bars, while the pristine stalls feature portraits of Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. I used the Willie Nelson and was "on the commode again". The centerpiece is a huge, three-sided bar adorned with neon signs, vintage Western memorabilia, industrial brewing equipment, and a massive wall of taps. It serves both classics and ready-to-serve frozen drinks, which you can enjoy in the pet-friendly beer garden backyard party. Order you "two pina coladas and hope they fill 'em to the brim if your world is kind of rocky and you need to learn to swim." (That was Garth Brooks or Maya Angelou). The casual, amphitheater-like patio faces an outdoor stage built into the bed of a vintage truck. The live music (even 12:30pm on a Thursday) is loud enough to be festive but managed so you don't have to scream to be heard. The entire area is covered by a massive glass and steel retractable roof, ensuring comfort in any weather, in case you don't "love a rainy night nor think it's such a beautiful sight, and hate to feel the rain on your face, taste the rain on your lips in the moonlight shadows." (That was Eddie Rabbit or SunTzu). The seating options are excellent and varied. Groups can share high-tops around a gas fire or a lit tree, or even sit in kitschy sawed-off pickup truck beds with bench seating. You can also find lounge chairs near the outdoor fireplace, huge swinging benches, and plenty of folding beach chairs on the astroturf. For dining, you can order affordable bar food from a window and receive a pager, so there is no need to "might as well lay down and nap 'cause you've spent half your life just waiting on a nacho." (That was Brad Paisley or Abraham Lincoln).

They generally have the doors open and it's Texas so it gets very hot in there -but hey - you've got all the beer you can drink to cool you down. If you ever get a chance to go to this Brewery I highly recommend it.

Skippable! Here are the reasons:…read more 1. Why have people manning the bar and serving beer if they have no idea what the product is, what styles they have and if all the beers are their own. 2. Making me purchase a wrist band for $20 on a Wednesday to sample the beers is questionable. Granted you get 3 beers and a pint glass but I don't know if I want to drink 3 beers here (and I didn't, I only had 2) 3. Beer was alright but not anything I would go out of my way to come back for again. I had hopes that it would be good but my expectations were not met.

Great venue, service and food. I was a solo diner tonight…read moreand was given multiple seating choices. Close to band, away from band, table or booth. Tonight I was feeling back room incognito. The band was great though. Very nice 3 piece playing Hendrix and Stevie Ray. My server was Emeline and was helpful with my menu choices. Food and Bock style beer was good. The green beans needed to be cooked longer as they were a bit firm. Price was reasonable $25 with beer. The venue, scratch kitchen and band made this a good deal I thought.

So first the service was not great and the menu is pretty limited not what I remember from my first visit, I checked it out and the Rowlett location has a bigger and better menu not sure why every location would have the same menu. I ordered the Waygu burger medium rare with truffle fries, the burger came out medium/medium well not what I wanted but I didn't make a fuss because the server already seemed like and couldn't handle her tables, the truffle fries were really good. My friend did all like what they ordered and their food looked good too. I also had a couple beers that were both good but I was disappointed to see that they didn't have any stouts or porters on draft this time if year. The trivia night was pretty fun though we all enjoyed it and will consider going again

Brewery #425 Martin…read moreHouse makes beers the way a brewery should; fun, inventive, delicious, and crazy. They probably had 25 (complete guess off of memory) beers on tap with a few of them being seltzers. They have really good IPA's, PHENOMENAL dessert stouts, and fun beers of other styles. Martin House was so good, I went back for a second flight plus bought a bunch of canned beers to take home. They had a Smores Stout (delicious), Texas Sheet Cake Stout (equally delicious), a Pumpkin Cheesecake Stout (not for me but interesting), and a King of the Mountain Porter (chocolately). I have never had 4 porters/stouts in the same sitting, but MH makes such good ones that I had to. Their IPA's were solid with the Invaders being my favorite. The Wicked Wolf blonde Ale made with peanut butter, and I think marshmallow fluff was probably my favorite beer amongst the 8 I tried. Phenomenally good. The craziest beer I tried was the Best Maid Mustard Relish. It's exactly what you think it would be but not as bad. They should make it in shot form though because anything more is too much. The only thing lacking was food. I assume they have food trucks from time to time but not while I was there. No matter their beer makes up for it so just eat before you come.
