    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!

    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.

    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.

    Had one beer here. Didn't try their food. But great experience, everywhere you turn is a picture. Lots of outdoor seating.

    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

    Sausage Platter, Tomato Soup, Loaded baked potatoes w Tri Tip
    Kevin N.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Stopped by for lunch while visiting Solvang with my family. Drinks and food were good! It was crowded since there was an event happening in town, but we still managed to grab a table outdoors. Order at the counter and your food is brought to you.

    Love the pretzel and the sausage sampler. The people were nice service was good. This place is huge. We were going to go back on Tuesday but they were closed even though google showed them as open. Still an enjoyable experience.

    (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

    Mozzarella sticks
    Michele G.

    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

    Aftin J.

    This place is perfect because there is a full bar and plenty of food options. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating. I appreciate that you order food and drinks at the counter so if you're with a large group there's no confusion with splitting the bill. The beers were good but I didn't love it and the food was good. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

There's no sign. I drove by several times and parked, determined to find it. It was next to Lama Dog. I ordered at the window from a very friendly and efficient staff member. I found a nice bar-height communal table inside a super cool restored warehouse with awesome indie music jamming, also surrounded by big screens and sporting events. I ordered a bottled Arnold Palmer from the bar, not realizing the bottled drinks are self-serve. Nevertheless, the bartender kindly got it for me along with a glass of ice. Now here's the best part: the very best Turkey Burger I have ever had--way better than any take-out before. It's topped with garlic aioli, avocado, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and crispy skinny onion rings, just perfect. I also ordered the fries with truffle and Parmesan--absolutely delicious, though a bit too flavorful, which overshadowed the turkey burger's flavor. I've tried both sweet and regular potato fries here, and they are excellent too. This place really hits the spot. Can't wait to come back.

Was enough for us to share between two. Creamy and cheesy, but could've used more lobster. Would've expected a better lobster to macaroni ratio with this one. Prices are a little steeper here. It was $25 for the Lobster mac & cheese, which I would've been more open to with a bit more fish in the dish. Plus, when I go to grab a beer, I'm not necessarily wanting to pay $20+ for a burger without fries. That being said, it's still a good spot to grab some food while drinking a beer at Lama Dog.
