    French onion smash burger
    Sandeep C.

    When a local brewery levels up into a full dining experience, Phase Three Brewing Company in Elmhurst absolutely delivers. I've been to their smaller taproom in Lake Zurich, so I knew the beer was good--but the Elmhurst location is a whole different animal. It's a proper brewery-restaurant hybrid with real energy. We went on a Friday night, and while parking can get tight since it's shared with nearby spots, there's plenty available if you're willing to loop around a bit. You can grab a table, but sitting at the bar is the move. It's perfect for working through tasters and chatting with the staff. Beer * Exceptional stouts, porters, and barleywines--rich, complex, and clearly a specialty * Collaborations (including with Old Irving) are impressive * IPAs lean more West Coast--resiny and hop-forward; less hazy/soft, more bold and bitter * Overall: high-quality brewing across styles Food * Pork Lumpia - spot on; crisp, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a Filipino classic * French Onion Smash Burger - standout; caramelized onion flavor woven throughout with melted cheese and perfectly cooked patties. Absolute hit with fries What surprised me most was the kitchen. This isn't "brewpub food." It's thoughtfully executed American fare mixed with strong Asian/Filipino influences that actually hold up. Vibe * Lively but not chaotic * Great for conversation, groups, or casual date nights * Easygoing atmosphere without sacrificing quality Verdict Phase Three Elmhurst nails the full package: serious beer program, legitimately good food, and a comfortable, well-run space. It's the kind of spot you can settle into for hours without feeling rushed. Easy five stars.

    Today, we weee driving around and stumbled across P3 Brewing company. Initially, the place looks trendy and pleasant. We entered and were immediately sat by the friendly hostess and given menus and water. After about 5 minutes our server came by. This is where the whole experience went south. She greeted us, and we asked her what her favorites were on the menu. She literally refused to give recommendations because she kept awkwardly hiding behind.... Everyone has their own tastes. We ask this almost every new restaurant we go to and get the server recommendations. After awhile, I decided on their original smashburger with no cheese and subbed salad for the fries. My wife got the Longanisa Chopped Cheese and fries. She also went with the P3 Japanese Rice Lager. My burger was salty and greasy, but feasted ok. They literally put a trace of their "spicy P3 sauce" on it, but it was basically a dry burger. The salad was outstanding and vinaigrette dressing was fantastic. Her Longanisa tasted good but the sauce on the sandwich was very watery and was literally glowing off the back end of the sandwich. Very weird. The Rice Lager didn't taste good at all. To me, it tasted like Old Style. I'm not exaggerating. When it came time to settle the check, we told the server that we signed up for the rewards and had small credit we wanted to apply. She told us oh, it will come off automatically when you pay your check. It made no sense. So I gave my credit card, and the bill got paid... no discount applied. I mentioned it to her but told her don't worry about it. We can use it next time. She argued with us and insisted she go figure out why it didn't apply. After telling her twice don't worry about it came more about her wanting to know than helping us. We just walked out and went home. I was only asked for a refill once, at the end of the meal, was almost out of drink half the lunch. The server just was not listening to the customer. It's not hard to figure out why discount wouldn't automatically apply to the bill when the website and the point of purchase are 2 separate formats. Overall the food was ok, 3.5 stars, the service... 1 star. Your money and time can be spent better elsewhere.

    My husband and I came on a date night, we sat outside and enjoyed the last of the nice weather. The host sat us and shortly after our server came around asking about drinks. I got the fruit beer and it was excellent flavor. My husband did 4 tastings. We got the garlicky cheese curds, Cobb salad and Original smashburger. The smash burgers were so tender they fell apart in your mouth. The cob salad was refreshing. I love trying foods that are unique and they did a very good job on every dish. Well done Phase Three. Would return!

    Nice brewery option in Elmhurst with good beer selection and even better food which is not typical of all breweries. We tried the parmesan truffle fries and longanisa egg rolls for starters, and a burger and banh mi for mains. Service was friendly and the place filled up quickly for lunch.

    The food was so good here! We came in to try out a few beers and grab dinner, and I was very happy with the food. The mushroom risotto was super creamy and full of flavor- I would definitely order it again! The pretzel seemed a little stale so I wasn't very into that dish but it may have just been fluke from sitting out too long before being delivered. The staff is really friendly and the bartenders are helpful when picking out beers to try! The whole restaurant is set up really nicely with a front room and back bar area. Doesn't feel like a typical brewery!

    Second time here. Both times quick and friendly service. Food is way better than you deserve for a brewery and the beer selection has a nice spread of styles. The pepper and egg sandwich should be sold in a cart in front of that place with people lined up like Maxwell st. It's that good. Top 5 in the west burbs.

    Our party of 3 had a nice pub dinner and catchup session here.  I'll go with 4.49 stars with the only modest knock that the place is a bit on the pricey side.  It wasn't too busy at 5:30pm on a Tuesday night, and that was nice, but it did get more boisterous and crowded as Trivia Night started at about 7pm. I did personally like that their beer menu was heavy on the IPA selections and I saw 10 of them (!) on their online menu and ended up having 3 delicious IPA's during our outing.  Each went for $8.50 for a 16 oz serving. I personally tried their: - Snow Pants hazy IPA, 7.9% ABV - F-Stop IPA, 7.5% ABV - Trio of Stars hazy IPA, 7.7% ABV RJ was our friendly and knowledgeable server, and I actually went with his suggestions on all 3 IPA's and I really enjoyed every one of them.  Thank you RJ! For food, I had the following and as usual we split the appetizers: - Bavarian pretzels, $7 Happy Hour 1/2 price - Garlicky cheese curds, $7 Happy Hour 1/2 price - OG burger with fries, $18 One colleague also had an OG burger and another had the Smoky Ghost burger and he said it was quite spicy.  I enjoyed my greasy and delicious OG burger with my beers. The pre-tip bill per person was $47.44.  The price of a beer and burger outing keeps going up on us, but they are always fun and delicious and so be it.  This place is a great venue for such.  Their food menu has some Filipino influences, but we didn't go for any of those dishes.  Their beer quality is top notch and I wouldn't be surprised if I liked all of their beers.  My colleagues also really enjoyed their Proper Trollied English malt blend (3.9% ABV and $6.50 for 20 oz).  They also have convenient parking off to the side and to the rear of the restaurant.  Great pub, and thank you!

    Ambiance - great location, offers parking behind the restaurant, casual spot for lunch/dinner, able to accommodate big groups Service - exceptional, our waiter was polite, check on us often and offered us some recs Food - pork lumpia was extra crispy, steak was tender, truffle fries were amazing

    Pork lumpia
    Ernie H.

    The honey butter fries are excellent. That came with the tocino bhan mi, a large portion. The marinated sweet meat is very similar to the Vietnamese one with a slight Filipino twist recommended. The pork lumpia is standard fare meaning it's good. I'm Filipino it has my seal of approval. This is a brewery and they have a lot of those - we just didn't have one tonight.

    3.6 stars. Great service. The food was just okay. Was excited to try this place out due to the prior yelp reviews about different Filipino food options but there were just okay and not too great as it wasn't that flavorful. I thought they would have had the halo halo, from the pictures but that was a limited time. The cheese curds were tasty. Lumpia, small but like any others. The banh mi my friend had not good it was underwhelming. The ambiance was bright and nice! The beer was good. Parking is either behind the building or street.

    I do enjoy drinking beer from Phase Three. The hummingbird has always gotten me The stouts continue to pull me in. I did try food here but unfortunately took no pictures of it. But we did order the Crispy Wings with the sweet and spicy banana dipping sauce, pork lumpia, corn ribs and the Green Chili Smash Burger. All of it was tasty and I'd get that all over again. That smash burger smashed! For our drink libations we got the Geo Ale, P3 Pils, Interception Stout, Pecan Pie Interception Stout, and the Lulz Cinnamon Apple. All tasty, crushable and delicious. That pecan pie was sweet, with a thick viscosity that coated your tongue. It was a banger! The beer tenders are friendly and the atmosphere has a little hum to it. Definitely coming back and going to the other location.

    Just a quick update. We've now been to P3 Elmhurst several times since our first visit during their inaugural month. Even though we live in the city, it's always a dinner destination in the back of our minds, not so much for the beer (which remains good), but because of the unique food options that, oddly enough, don't exist under one roof in the city. The food options remain stellar, constantly changing with the seasons and always being improved. A great example is the outstanding Ahi Tuna Sandwich, which went from being a regular sandwich to something close to a lobster roll except with fresh, raw tuna. An absolute stunner, I would get this once a week if I didn't live an hour away. Also excellent were the shrimp spring rolls, a very nice portion of shrimp, rice, and assorted veggies, flavorful with great crunch in every bite. We split these, but honestly, they'd work as a main. The execution remains great, easily the best brewery food in the Chicago area, and truly food that would stand alone against "regular" restaurants. While I remained feeling that P3 was a 4.5 and not a 5, largely due to mediocre service and a lack of a vibe, I have to downgrade to a 4 after our most recent, and perhaps final, visit. My wife is a strict vegetarian and I am a pescatarian (who very infrequently will order a chicken parm or something when out). In the past, P3 has always had wonderful vegetarian options - it's one of the reasons we always consider it, even when it's quite a haul to get to. However, on this recent visit, we were informed that they were out of tofu, which severely limited our options (out went the vegan bahn mi and potentially subbing tofu for a protein). We were going to split the couscous salad (subbing tofu for prosciutto), so it was back to the drawing board. Well, ok, maybe we'll split the salad w/o the prosciutto and get the Fiesta Crunch Burger with a veggie patty. Done. Except...three minutes later, our server returns to let us know they don't do meatless patties anymore. Which...what?! So my wife gets the couscous salad, which was very good (I went with the aforementioned Ahi Tuna which was tremendous). But, without the prosciutto on the salad, and with no substitute option, why am I still paying $18? Especially when no effort was made to accommodate us. I've worked in the industry in the past - what a perfect time to offer a side of fries or a free beer on the house. Nope. Look, we really enjoyed our food as we always have. But, that's really, really rough when you have no protein option available for a vegetarian. And hey, kitchens run out of stuff, but you chose to not stock veggie patties. Maybe they weren't selling, maybe they changed vendors, I don't know. But, it just kind of sucked to be honest, especially when P3 had become a place to rely on for such options. Despite loving my meal, and having supported this brewery and restaurant from the very, very beginning, with these changes and lack of "making up" for being out of so many of their vegetarian options, I'm really not sure it P3 Elmhurst remains even a back-of-mind option for us in the future.

More importantly, does it offer the kind of service, ambience, and experience that would make you want more? I would say 151 kitchen and bar in Elmhurst does meet those expectations.

Key points for me for the honey and ricotta with bread - absolutely excellent! I ordered the Atlantic salmon, which came on a bed of tiny potatoes and broccolini absolutely what was expected, the flavors were indicative of light seasoning, and I can truly say I loved it.

She led me to a manager who said you get plenty of food and dodged my question. He simply should've said we don't serve chops. I spent almost $500 for six of us. I think they're a better spot to spend your money for that amount. I did reach out via phone call and email as suggested with no return calls or email.
