((Friday night)) Try their buffalo wings! They have a great flavor. They had a bit of a crunch and the ranch was amazing. Now that that's out of the way. The place seemed very clean atmosphere was lively. They had indoor and outdoor seating. This is a place. I would definitely visit often if I was a local. One thing I will say we did have to order at the bar, there wasn't someone who would go to the table to take your order. They did, however, take the food out to your table. read more

I'm not a fan of a bad review and try to look at the highlights but this brewery was caught slipping. 5 employees on deck. Out of the 3 bartenders working, only one (a really knowledgeable guy that did his homework about the food and beer) was reliable. They have two bars and this woman at the larger bar took forever to serve us and it wasn't busy at all. When we got to her counter, she seemed annoyed and said that the Amber Beer we wanted wasn't served at her bar and we had to go to the smaller one down the walkway (the Amber was on her menu board, by the way). We got to the smaller bar where the smart guy was and he said he could get us the drink but needed to go to the larger bar we just came from because that's where the tap is. We told him what the woman said and he just shook his head and apologized. This adventure alone took a good 25 minutes. Next up, the food. We saw a sausage combo plate that a young female waitress was carrying and asked if they were different sausages, her reply was "No, All three are the same". We asked the only bartender we could trust and he said they were all different and described in detail what they were a the flavor profile. I thought the ambiance was nice and Danish but the beer and the combo plate was just ok. The owners need to do some remedial training with the staff and teach them how to not only speak with customers but to know what they are serving and where to get it. No pics necessary, but I'd love to go back and allow them to do it again and I will improve my review. read more

Tri-tip dip sandwich 3/5. Sample platter 3/5. Chocolate Brownie 4/5. Food serving size was normal and not overly big. Price was higher than expected. Place is causal. Service is simple-- order, pay, take number stand with you, server brings food to you. They have plenty of indoor (less windy) and outdoor (suitable for dog owners). read more

Two friends and I stopped here during a coastal road trip from LA to SF. Two of us had been to Solvang. We decided to take a break from our walk to eat because it was close. The beer was good, and the service was decent, though they messed up my order and I had to wait for my food. All three of us got the bratwurst plate. The brats were decent, though not like the ones my wife from Wisconsin makes :-) The bread was odd though. It was way too chewy and rubbery than it should've been. I don't think I've ever had bread like that. I either don't get around enough, or the bread was just poorly made. Good location, and comfortable outdoor seating. read more

This was a great stop for our day trip to Solvang! Such an easy dining experience too if you are not too picky about an "elevated" dining experience, in which our case, we were just hungry and wanted something quick and easy to eat! You basically can just pick any open table they have (indoor and outdoor seating options, dog friendly!), order at the bar, and then your food is delivered to your table. Such an easy dining experience! They have a great selection of beers and bar food, we enjoyed the carnitas nachos and the burger and both were delicious and satiating! Right in the middle of this cute little town so plenty of shops and picture opportunities for before or after your meal! read more

Great spot. Delicious food and beer. We stopped by during the week wasn't busy at all. The service was great, we got a food right away. Highly recommend the wings 10/10 and the nachos are huge (great for groups). It's a big space and are able to accommodate large groups. read more

We tried this out for dinner one night when we were staying in town. It was a short walk from our hotel. There is an inside dining area or a robust outside seating area. They have a fireplace outside that you can pull up a chair. This was a cute find in town and I wouldn't hesitate to go back. The food was good and the service was very friendly. You ordered out a window and they brought it out to your table. read more

Went bar Hopping to watch Monday night football, Texans vs Steelers. Found this location for some drinks and snacks. Solvang brewery speaks for itself with assorted IPAs, Seltzers and beer. Kept ordering drinks all night. Ambiance was great. Reminded me of being in Europe, Denmark and Germany along with Mexican flavor added to it. This place had a good vibe. The workers were friendly and prompt with drinks. No issues just had a good time. Parking was available up front. It was slow since it was a Monday. Restrooms were clean. I would comeback anytime if I am in the area. Kudos to Andrea, she was professional. Cool peeps read more

You need to get the tri-tip add-on on the large baked potato. The value here is insane -- the portion is huge, hearty, cheesy, and exactly as satisfying as it sounds. It was so good we came back the next day just to order it again. The tri-tip was flavorful and generous, making this one of the most filling items in town. The tomato soup was another standout: creamy, well-seasoned, and comforting without being heavy. We also tried the sausage platter. I enjoyed it overall (especially if you're a sausage fan), though the sausages themselves didn't particularly stand out. That said, the sides really carried it -- pretzels, sauerkraut, pickled onions, and dips were all solid and thoughtfully paired. Only critique: the baked potato was cooked on parchment paper, which absorbed moisture and mixed slightly into the food. Didn't ruin the dish, but worth noting. Still highly recommend for value and comfort food. read more

Located in the heart of Solvang, if you enjoy good food and beer this is the place for you. Also, there's a full bar, but we stuck with beers. Plenty of seating inside and outside. You order food and drinks from the bar and your food is delivered to your table. Our Sando and soup was delicious. The entire staff is welcoming and help create a fun vibe. If you give SBC a try, you won't be disappointed. Cheers! read more

Arrived in Solvang during lunch time. Wanted to celebrate getting a parking spot during Julefest :D Saw that the brewing company had some tables available. Quickly grabbed a table and ordered a few things. I was lucky because as soon as I got back to the table, the line to order extended onto the sidewalk. Food was delivered fairly quickly. Kids enjoyed their fish and chips. The chicken sandwich was decent. Also got the black and bleu bacon burger with the veggie patty instead. It was good. The solvang lager also hit the spot. Overall this is a solid option for lunch if you are in Solvang. read more

If you like food that is super salty, then this is the place for you. My husband and I shared an order of onion rings, fish and chips and their Solvang IPA. The onion rings were super salty. The sauce they gave us was blue cheese so we had to ask for another sauce, ranch. The fish and chips tasted bleh. The fish was not as crispy. The fries were a little on the salty side. The service was ok. The host/server was a little lost for some reason. read more

Was visiting with family so they get can get to know Solvang and what's it's like, and we decided to go to the brewing company to finish off our trip. We were excited to grab a drink, but unfortunately we did not get great service or treatment. We went up to the bar and were waiting behind two people so we can place our order. There was one bartender taking care of one side and didn't acknowledge us or let us know where to order. We moved to another window where people were being served and then the other bartender told us to go inside. I thought it was odd because they were still serving others coming up to the window. I didn't want to go inside because they don't have the beer on draft that the bar outside did. Again we were ignored multiple times and directed to go inside but others kept coming up to the window to get their orders or pick up drinks. We felt a little discriminated against and we did leave feeling frustrated and upset. Unfortunate end to our trip but we did not feel like this place had staff who respected us or had service etiquette to be polite. We were not greeted, helped, or addressed appropriately. Hoping others do not experience the same. read more

(Dined 07/23/25 WE @ 11:30am): It's been a long time since I last had some brew at this Solvang company! I was on an overnight business/staycation getaway when I excitedly made it back to Solvang Brewing Co. after over ten years. I loved the Danish town of Solvang and all of its eateries, shops, tasting rooms, and general laid-back vibe. Opened in 2010, Solvang Brewing Co. was the first brewery to open in Solvang proper, but you never found their beer outside the immediate region. So, it was a return treat to imbibe for a while as I took it all in. Would my reacquaintance with this brewing company bring me back to Solvang more often!? PURCHASE Solvang Brewing Co. Valhalla IPA Beer 16floz Draft ($9.00): Golden amber color, hoppy malty aroma, light body, fruity hoppy malty flavors, smooth finish, and slight bitter fruity hoppy malty aftertaste. My favorite of the bunch! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=1kr_YP1amOBo94ie7w8jjQ Solvang Brewing Co. Solvang Pils Pilsner Beer 16floz Draft ($9.00): Golden amber color, bready malty aroma, light body, bready malty flavors, crisp finish, and bready earthy malty aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=_inlE7yZzinMy3yYotq2BQ Solvang Brewing Co. Mango Chili Kombucha 16floz Draft ($9.00): Hazy amber color, fruity mango tropical aroma, light body, fruity mango flavors, smooth finish, and fruity mango aftertaste. You had me at "mango"! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=m-wTtWImbWvSkr1JhBpKpg [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 3.5 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($12.95): A large basket filled with various-sized rings, these were hot, dark-browned, crunchy, and had a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) stayed intact. They were oily, watery ranch dipping sauce given, messy, and fairly good. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=cZtaTwCWftaXqS4CRwRP1g Fish & Chips ($22.95): Two long strips of crispy fried cod that steamed when you bit into it, on a bed of crunchy homemade coleslaw with minimal mayonnaise, and browned crispy nicely-seasoned spud sticks, everything about this dish was amazing and tasty. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=oCqXExJ8JBAfjowuQqKUdA Logo T-Shirt ($30.00): An iconic graphic I had to add to my ever-growing brewery t-shirt collection! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=tuuHK-z2fU2Js-yUx8f0hA Logo Stickers ($3.00 x2): I loved stickers! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=yYYV-Il52YI_R3Vk6SzrRQ SERVICE I arrived a bit early as they were just about to open for the day, so I took pictures until they were ready. Shortly, the male manager warmly greeted me, I grabbed menus, and picked a tall barrel table on their front outdoor patio. My female server immediately took my order, and everything came out quickly enough. The rest of my time was spent leisurely soaking in the beautiful day as I was checked on from time-to-time. There was one snafu where my dining spot was incorrectly cleared away and taken over by new patrons. I found another spot inside and was given a new basket of onion rings. Everything was chill! PARKING (FREE) I found a spot on a nearby side street. Otherwise, there were plenty of parking lots and street parking in the surrounding area - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A large place with two sizable sections each with a long bar plus an inviting front outdoor umbrellaed patio perfect for people-watching, and a ton of seating everywhere. Inside, they also had a merchandise corner, a cooler for takeaway drinks, and it definitely was perfect for watching games with your friends. Plenty of natural lighting entered through the many large windows while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several TVs inside at both bars while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=hCQ97Oh2gZBTSJzVRcfWbg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was an awesome return to Solvang Brewing Co., and I was glad to see they have expanded and are doing well! They had a really good selection of their own beers and guest beers on tap, local wines (non-alcoholic drinks also were available), the food selection was varied enough, and the outdoor patio allowed for pets. From brisk brews, yummy food, and easy service, it was a wonderful time. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $105.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Hey there Party People This is a good old fashion Pub complete with country music and a ton of TV screens to catch all the games. The nice touch here is they have a great Beer Garden for a ton of outside seating. We started with Onion Rings and Mozzarella strips. Both were very tasty but I have to say the mozzarella sticks were gooey and perfect. We decided to go light with lunch after the appetizers and had the Southwestern Chicken salad. The meal was huge with a ton of succulent chicken. The dressing was good but I would recommend asking for extra BBQ sauce to give it that extra kick. They also have a great selection of home brews. I had the lager it hit the spot. All round a great place to get your grub on and chill. Be kind to one another read more

Came back for some drinks, and watch the football games, which is perfect for this place. Good drinks, lots of TV's. But the food we ordered was average at best. We ordered the Pub fries, just are just regular fries with parsley scattered, portion was ok, but it was 9 dollars We order the fried calamari, and we thought it was fish sticks. the calamari texture was just odd. Onion rings were good, but again average portion but expensive like 14 dollars. The french dip was ok, the meat was average, not dry but not moist, bread was just ok. nothing special Definitely good for drinks and sports, but wouldnt go back for the food read more

When in Solvang, it's important to just take it all in. The ambiance is amazing. And this spot is great for doing that. This review is solely for the atmosphere and my drink experience but I'd be interested in coming back and trying the food. This brewery has both indoor and outdoor seating. And being in Solvang, it has excellent beers as well as wines. You can order at the bar. I loved grabbing a seat outside with my chilled glass of Chardonnay and people watching. Looking forward to coming back. read more

The food here is just bad. I wish I could give it a better review because I like the ambiance a lot. The big open air seating with the windmill above us was fun and the indoor area was very spacious and had a classic pub feel. I got a soft pretzel which was hard and tough and an elote with more tortilla chips than corn (which was drowning in sauce). This might be a great place to grab a beer and hang out but definitely get dinner somewhere else! read more

Came to Buellton for my fiancé's family reunion and had to stop in Solvang for a bit. Haven't been here since I was a teenager. We stopped to grab some pastries and lunch before heading to the campground. We decided to stop by the Solvang Brewing Company for lunch. The outside is so nice with a bunch of covered seating, and of course a big windmill! We had to get a shot in front of it. Ordering is super easy, just walk up to one of the bar windows, place your order, they give you a number, and you find a place to sit inside or outside. We chose outside because the weather was perfect. We got a sausage sampler and 12 wings with 2 flavors. The sausage sampler was delicious with 3 types of sausage, 2 pieces of pretzel, sauerkraut, pickled red onion, some gherkins, and 2 sauces. The sausages were all delicious, but not super hot just warm enough. The spicy one was my fave. The sides were all good and we pretty much ate all of it. The sauces were good, one was a very spicy brown mustard, the other I THINK was a honey mustard. The wings were okay. They were cooked well and had a decent crunch, they also had a good amount of meat. We got half Buffalo and half Alabama White bbq. The bbq were drenched in sauce, too much in my opinion. It made the wings soggy and could barely taste the chicken. I'm not usually a fan of Buffalo sauce but the rub they put on the wings before the sauce made them very tasty. Service was great, the staff were friendly and quick, very accommodating. I would definitely come back and try some of their more prominent menu items like the burgers or sandwiches. read more

I came here years ago and had a wonderful experience, but they have changed a lot of their policies it seems. You order up front and then while they do bring your food to you... the service stops there. If you ask any of the servers for anything they direct you to wear the items are located. For example they won't bring extra napkins or silverware and if you want to order additional drinks you need to get in line and complete another order. The food also came out almost too fast in my opinion? Our burgers & sandwiches came out within minutes, less than five, which makes me feel like the food isn't fresh. I think for the prices & the tip that they automatically add on to bills over $100 dollars the staff could be more helpful. There are lots of great food places in Solvang so I don't feel like we will be back again in the future. read more

Inside is very spacious with lots of seating, outdoor seating is available too. They had TVs inside as well. Overall, the service was good but the food was okay. We ordered nachos, onions rings, meatball sub and a burger. The best item was the burger, it was delicious! Onions were great, but the nachos and meatball sub were so-so.

This is a popular eatery on the main street in downtown Solvang. It's next to a giant windmill and offers outdoor and indoor seating. The area is larger than it looks at first glance. It was a bit difficult to figure out how to order. There's a sign indicating four steps including taking a menu, deciding on your order and then placing your order with a server or waiting to be seated or ordering from one of their two bars...it's confusing. Thankfully, I didn't follow the crowd and just go to the bar window but wandered around aimlessly with my daughter and a menu, and Chris, a server, kindly walked up to us and asked if we'd like to eat outside or inside. He was extremely helpful and we decided to eat indoors in the Viking Room. The Viking Room had a tv, mirrored walls, and beautiful wood tables. There was a mix of booths, round, square and rectangular tables. There was a bar and a digital jukebox playing songs. Chris was very attentive, checking on us and ordering our food promptly. We received our garlic parmesan fries and lemonades very quickly. We also ordered the caramel filled churro which was delicious. The food was a solid 4.5 but the service was a 5. Chris was great. I know it's a tourist town but it makes a big difference having someone show kindness and offer great customer service. read more

The Solvang Fake News Food Company! I had the Torpedo Sausage, menu says "house made stout grain mustard", what a joke. See photo, I received packets of US Foods low-rent mustard from Homewood Illinois. Menu said sauerkraut and sourdough, but no kraut and plain roll. Rest of the menu is the same Fake News, promising "Danish" or "European" style, "house made" dressing and sauces actually from little packets, and "Grade A fries" whatever that is -- mine were the same old stale and greasy. There's plenty of good restaurants in Solvang, no reason to go to this tourist trap. Service and ambiance were mediocre. We made a mistake. read more

Admittedly it is a holiday, and they lost their kitchen in a fire. Somehow they are preparing food. They warn that stuff may not come from whatever cooking area they have at the same time for all persons in your party. However, I was almost finished with my food before my husband's BLT came out. We had to ask one of the food runners about it to get it at all. I think they skipped it. My bratwurst sandwich was average, bread was doughy and the sauerkraut very vinegary. My husband said his BLT was worth waiting for. They are doing the best they can, but maybe wait until their kitchen reopens or go when it's not mobbed with people. At least my beer was good. read more

This rating is strictly based off their drinks. We got drinks in the day time and the evening... No, we are not alcoholics lol. While we were waiting for Paula's for breakfast, we sat here-- which was right next door-- ordered some Bloody Marys. My friend absolutely loved it. She got the works, bacon and all! I just got the basic. I enjoyed it but I didn't love it. My favorite Bloody Mary of all time resides in Mexico (review for that to come). For the evening, there's not much to do in Solvang when it comes to night life lol. After dinner, we decided to grab some drinks and chill by the fire pit before calling it a night. We stopped here once more. There's just something about sitting around a warm fire, on a cold night, with good company...I just love it. I ordered the Pineapple-Mango Express. I'm more of a mixed drink girl-- I don't do beer unless it's in a Michelada-- so it was right up my alley. I quite enjoyed it. Staff was okay (both morning and night shift). Not super friendly but nice when they did get around to helping us. A lot of available seating both inside and outside. We sat outside on both visits, watching the town's movements while we sipped on our drinks. Very chill, nice vibes. read more
