I had a Marzen, a Roggenshnizzel (German Rye Lager), and an Oat Stout (Oatmeal Stout). All of the beers were good. I also had a pretzel with beer cheese and mustard which was very good.

Upland Brewing was the perfect way to end the night. It's got that tap house feel but still feels…read morelike a full restaurant. Open, lively, people talking, drinks flowing, but still relaxed enough to sit and take your time. Easy place to wind down. Staff was super friendly. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. Fried chicken, blue cheese slaw, horseradish pickles on a toasted brioche bun. When it came out, I could already tell it was gonna be good. The chicken had that deep golden crust, crispy all around. First bite had that crunch, then the heat kicked in right after. Not overwhelming, just enough to wake everything up. There's a little sweetness in there too that balances it out, so it doesn't hit too hard. The slaw cools it down, adds a little tang, and the pickles bring that sharp bite that cuts through everything. The bun holds it all together without getting in the way. Messy in a good way. Every bite was packed. Honestly, just a solid sandwich all around.

We were greeted by the manager today who was very kind and I could tell it mattered to him that the customers were attended to. He also thanked us on our way out.. Now for the food, the wings are quickly becoming my favorite in Indiana. Close with Fork and Ale as best overall depending on how you like them. Boneless are crispy and flavorful, you just gotta try it to understand why they're my favorite. Bone in are great as well but Ale wins by flavor options. Pizza is phenomenal especially the margarita pizza. Crispy slice with structure not floppy. The cheese pull was above my eyes. Best fried pickles in Midtown that I have tried.

The interior was very well done and has a cute feel. They have an area where kids can play as well, and was a good family spot. The brunch menu is small but everything sounded so good. I got the Dutch Baby and a toffee nut latte. The drinks and food were very slow to arrive at the table. The food took over 50 mins to come out and we arrived at opening. However once we got our food and drinks everything was delicious. The service overall was not great, and we also had a hard time getting our bill.

Big Lug Canteen delivers a memorable meal from start to finish -- friendly, unpretentious service,…read morea warm neighborhood vibe, and two standout dishes that I'll be ordering again. The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth. Little crunchy bits and a subtle smoky char add texture, while a finishing sprinkle (and a hint of something sweet-salty) elevates them from simple side to a show-stealer. The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, solid value. Highly recommended.

Our server was pretty great, and up front about wait times. We went when the kitchen has a crew shortage, so there was a wait for food. For appetizers: nachos were great, but if you ordered a simple nacho, it's meh, we had to add several things and added $$ to make it REAL nachos. The dip for the pork rinds was good. The table ordered truffle fries, they finished it. It was our first time trying Upland beers. Most of the options are IPA and tart beers. None of which I like. The mixed drinks menu was meh, they offer 2 hard ciders, but one was unavailable. Our server let us try samples and she was very patient. For main dishes: I ordered a Salmon BLT. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I didn't eat it with the bun, salmons was very thin, 1 piece of bacon, slice of tomato and 1 piece of lettuce. We had mac and cheese, DO NOT ORDER, it was floating in fat and there's no taste to it. Fish and chips was okay. The pizza was the highlight, it saved the night, I think. Bathrooms clearly labeled, easily seen, and clean. For 6 people, 2 of whom did not have alcoholic drinks (just water), our bill with tip was over $350. I would not come back here again, I had a better time and better food at other breweries.
