    Spent the afternoon at Blues and Brews and really enjoyed the live music, great weather, friendly staff and great band! The pineywoods lager was my favorite beer but the Hazy was a close second

    Was driving through Lufkin and needed a good and longer stop so saw good reviews for this place and gave it a chance. My husband had the wagyu burger and I had the chorizo pizza with the house white wine and all were outstanding!! Also highly recommend the pretzel and beer cheese - it was cooked to perfection! The place had a good warm buzz about the place and the decor was perfect of a great upscale brewery! Our waitress was very sweet and attentive as well as knowledgeable when we had questions about allergies. This place lived up to its high rating - highly recommend!

    We stayed in Lukfin for two nights and we ate here both nights. Best butternut squash soup I've ever had, and I love butternut squash soup and order it a lot! Beer was good, pizza was solid, service was fantastic both nights, and dog friendly patio. HIGHLY recommend you drop by this place!

    Rusty Axe Brewing Company is a must-visit. It's that rare gem where fine dining finesse meets casual comfort. The wagyu burger was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The bison burger brought bold and earthy flavor. The goat cheese salad was a refreshing balance--creamy tang against crisp greens, a palate cleanser that still felt decadent. And the soft pretzel with beer cheese and honey mustard dip? Absolute chef's kiss. Warm, pillowy pretzel paired with dips that hit both savory and sweet notes--it's the kind of starter you'll dream about later. Service elevated the experience. T was attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about making sure guests felt taken care of. Pair that with the great music and lively atmosphere, and you've got the recipe for a perfect night out. 10/10 recommend for anyone chasing flavor, fun, and a little foodie magic.

    Food - excellent. Texas Wagyu Burger - great. The sauce is super special. Texas Goat Cheese Salad added salmon. Wonderful. Service - above and beyond. We found this little place by accident. It's not so little. The ambience is great. Highly recommend. Family friendly. Dog friendly. Beer great.

    This is a small a brewery with a comfortable feel. We sat ourselves in the patio, and shortly after…read morethe waitress appeared with the few menus. We opted for the wings and a couple of beers. Food was ready in a timely manner. My wings were great, but unfortunately, my friend had one that was undercooked, and had red in the center which made her lose her appetite. No, we didn't make a fuss or notify the server. It just wasn't a big deal. We had been out hiking all day, and were hot and thirsty and the beers were cold and delicious, so we just enjoyed our drinks. The patio had a nice vibe and good music, so we drank our beers and enjoyed the atmosphere. Dog friendly Good service Nice patio If you're hankering for a cold brew, come here!

The staff was great, you feel welcome as soon as you set foot in the building. They offer a wide variety of their beer that is produced in-house. I even took home a crowler with me of their Pickle Beer. Yes, Pickle Beer! They also have wine and cocktails, so your friends that don't drink beer won't have an excuse to not come along. The story of my life . Now let's talk about their food: I HAVE TO tell you about their sexy fries. Something so simple, yet so delicious. Good Seasoning is everything! I was also looking forward to trying their burgers with their house blend beef. I had their OG, but I am sure you won't go wrong with any other of their options. Highly recommend this gem in East Texas! (This is only 1.5 hrs from Dallas.)

I first thought it was wallpaper made to look like Life magazine pages, but some pages seemed to be peeling. I don't mind reading hemorrhoid ads from the 60's while drinking my beer per se, just an observation. The furniture was mismatched like estate sale items picked up from people who wanted to think they were high class in the 1960's. You could probably still smell Lucky Stripes every time you sat on the seat cushions. There was no music playing and there were only 6 or 7 (don't you dare do that 6-7 thing with your hands while reading this!) other people inside. So, I had to listen to this pretentious group talking about opera, the child welfare system and other topics while their noses were up and pinkies were out. There was an older guy on the opposite end of the room that seemed to be loudly mocking them. He thanked me for coming as I was leaving.... was he the owner? LOL. I ordered my standard flight from a very nice lady that seemed to be new. I got 2 IPA's (Mongoose Slayer and Striker IPA) that were solid, a Black Venom stout that was ok and a Belgian Quad (Medusa) that I wasn't fond of. There are no food options, but I assume there are food trucks from time to time. The outdoor area has a few games and tables and a more normal atmosphere. If they had some music to drown out Lilith and Frasier, I'd go back and give them a try.
