    Entrance to the brewery
    Patrick G.

    What an awesome little brewery. The minute we walked in some of the locals started talking to us, very nice people, interested in how are fishing had gone that day and where we were from. The young lady who helped us choose our beers was very helpful and professional. I had the Two Headed Caddis IPA, which had a great hoppy flavor with a touch of tropical sweetness. I also tried the Duhb Lasc Irish Stout, great coffee flavor! The food is served from the Chuckwagon Grille food truck. Awesome smash burgers that were so large you had to eat them with a fork and knife. I had the Heart Attack burger, which was a 1/2 pound burger covered with cheese, smothered with green chili, bacon, lettuce tomatoes and onion. Soooo good!!! If you pass through Meeker, you definitely need to stop here! Keep up the good work guys, you definitely have a gem of a brewery!

    IPA and lager.

    We stopped here twice on a fishing trip. I love visiting small town breweries. There was both indoor and outdoor seating. Very nice variety of beers, and we all agreed they tasted great. The service was friendly and attentive. It was a bit noisy inside, but most breweries are like that. On the second visit (on the weekend) they had a smoker going and we all regretted that we had just finished lunch.

    One of the best burgers I've had ! The beer matched or topped bigger well known breweries in Colorado.

    As far as this brewery goes; it's pretty good, especially for a small town like Meeker.

    Burger and fries were really good! Service was quick and…read moresimple. I'm from out of town and they gave me a few hikes nearby to look into. Modern vibe. Food came out really quick!

    I ordered the Gucci burger for pickup and I could not wait to try it. The reviews made it sound so…read moregood. Unfortunately, the hamburger meat was burnt so badly on both sides that it tasted burnt, was completely dry and the meat was crunchy. I don't know about you, but I do not want to eat dried out, burnt black crispy hamburger meat. (See pictures.) Horrible horrible service. I walked in, walked up to the counter, and told the employee that I had ordered online and I was here to pick up my burger. I was 15 minutes early, and I explained that to the man and told him if the burger wasn't ready yet, I understood. He just looked at me. He did not say a word. He just looked at me. We stood that way for what seemed like a long time and finally, I said "did you hear me?" He just kept looking at me without a word. Whaaaaa? It seemed unreal and confusing. Finally he slowly walked over and picked up a bag that contained my burger. I asked him if napkins and ketchup was in the bag. He pointed at the wall under the kitchen window. I helped myself. The reviews for this place were so good, but I never expected such a terrible experience. I do have to say that I ordered coleslaw as my side and the coleslaw was absolutely excellent. But it still didn't make up for everything else being so bad. I think it would've been a good burger if the meat hadn't been so burnt I can't believe they even sold something like that. The kitchen should've made a better patty. If they burnt it that badly they should've made a new one. Also, my burger was cold. I was there 15 minutes early, so what did they do, make my hamburger at the time I ordered it rather than honoring the time I said I would pick it up, which was an hour later? By the way, scroll down in the Yelp listing and you will see that this restaurant has nine health violations. That's not me saying that. Those are documented and validated health violations.

    Coming from Craig kids were hungry and wanted lunch in Meeker and not have to wait for Rifle. We…read moreordered lunch at the counter at 12:50. I know it's not fast food so we understood there would be a wait. It was busy and we sat outside with our drinks. My husband went to get a refill and I saw a lot of people leaving so I texted him at 1:20 suggesting we move inside. We got settled in new seats. At probably 1:40 someone said they know our order is next, confirmed an item we ordered and said "we didn't lose your ticket. The next time someone came by I asked for an update and she said there's just one order ahead of ours - she apologized and said someone called out. I said we needed to get back on the road so we will just take whatever is ready. She handed me three of four boxes of food at 1:50. We ate and were out the door at 2:05. An hour wait for food. Not my favorite dining experience. The spicy tacos weren't spicy. The grilled cheese was cold and only the bread had been cooked - the cheese inside was gummy and unappealing. Other than the casual "sorry" from the cashier no one came by even when one of the owners came upstairs to talk to another customer. We were practically permanent fixtures in their dining room waiting for food. I'm sure it's a great place and we were just there at an "off-time". It has very affordable prices and lots of customers coming and going - so clearly it's very popular. If you're on the road and looking for a quick bite this isn't the place. My kids genuinely thought they'd have eaten food faster if they just waited for Rifle and they're not wrong.

    Got the daily special. Garlic butter bacon burger fries and a drink $15. Well worth the money…read more Great burger Great service.
