I like the cheese soup. Like it that you can eat while watching sports. It has an upbeat vibe that I can't explain. The old pictures on the walls are great. It's a fun place to take people from surrounding towns who are not familiar with downtown Springfield. It is a big restaurant. Sometimes there is a little band playing upstairs. There are several pool tables. read more

Though the food and beer were really good, the service was absolutely revolting. We came in with a large party. They kindly allowed us to make a reservation, so they knew we were coming, but the waiter assigned to us was very overwhelmed. And seemed unfocused. It took half an hour to get everyone drinks from the bar; then took our orders; took an hour after that to get our food. Even appetizers orders came out 5ish minutes before the food. After everyone was done eating, it took another 30-45 minutes to get our checks out correctly. They were messed up for several people 2-3 times. Would come back for the food and beer, but never with a party of more than 4 people. read more

I went with a friend on a Sunday night for a pitcher and pizza. We are not new to this...typically we love Brew Co, but when you are seated at a table for over fifteen minutes, you see multiple servers who walk right past you (who are not slammed with tables) and NO ONE EVEN ATTEMPTS TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR PRESENCE...your opinion and perception of the place is forever changed. Really? Is it that difficult to say hello to a Guest in your establishment, especially if the intend to spend money? It would be different if the place was slammed and crazy busy, like during football season. But it wasn't. The piss-poor Customer Service is what gives this place a 1-Star rating. read more

Good beer, good service (Jared was great). Terrible food. That is ALL you need to know. read more

We hadn't been here in years to actually eat. So we figured we would last night. The hostess was nice and accommodating in the fact that we needed a booster seat or high chair and even went to get us one! She was great. Mind you, we've been here quite a few times, without our child, and have always had great service. Our waitress seemed disappointed to serve us, came to our table literally to take our order, and bring our food, that's it. No conversation, she was very short and honestly rude. We had to ask the bar for boxes/ ticket/ drinks. Our food was not hot when it got to us, after about a 40 minute wait. After paying, tipping, and leaving, we won't be coming back again. Side note- it was not too busy at the restaurant, saw our server several times standing around chatting. read more

I'm a fairly frequent on-and-off customer of the BrewCo. It's a downtown staple. Food is great, nothing to write home about, but definitely above par for sure. Prices seem competitive, the atmosphere is great and they are not afraid to show off the fact that they brew their own beers for sure. In all due honesty, BrewCo deserves a solid 4.5, just short of perfect, because besides the fact that at times there can be quite a wait for food, the staff are polite and waiters/waitresses check back on you often. They keep it clean and even have pool tables and other games on the top floor. Once again, my only small tiff is the wait time for food, as I have often waited somewhat longer than I feel we should have. (This is after ordering food). Other than that, it's a great place downtown to go to. read more

I stopped by this place at somewhat of an odd time (3:30pm), and it was fairly deserted (as expected). However, most of the bar stools were occupied by regulars drinking out of their club mugs. The restaurant is fairly big and has that typical restaurant/brewery look with large vats behind the glass. The service was good. Bartenders were friendly and knew their regulars well. It was enjoyable to listen to them shoot the breeze. When the bar was slow, the bartender would walk around with a big trivia book and ask patrons trivia questions for fun. The beer was good. I tried the 11 Point Pilsner and Paul's Pale Ale. The pilsner wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about. Paul's Pale Ale was very good. The food was somewhat of a disappointment. The menu looked promising with a lot of good sounding bar food. I tried the Artisan Pretzels and All American Burger. Pretzels were just ok. The burger wasn't amazing either. Overall the food just meh. Not the most amazing brewery restaurant, but if I was in the area, I'd stop by again. read more

Good food, especially the buffalo sandwich! Definitely with the try. Price point $10. Service is great, environment is trendy. Great for a date! read more

I ordered the Mac and Cheese with Bacon and Shrimp! Mac & Cheese was the BOMB! Super creamy , made with 3 or 4 different kind of cheeses and made with shell noodles. My meal was amazing! The waitress I was blessed to have named Sam was incredible. She absolutely made my visit the best. Great spot!!!! All of us really enjoyed our meals! read more

This is my second time dining here! First and foremost this is a working brewery so order a beer! Food here is really good also. I recommend the mac and cheese! Service is really good but I always sit at the bar! read more

I dropped by SBC for a beer and lunch. Just visiting Springfield during the holidays. The menu is standard pub fare with a lot of selection...of pub food. If you're looking for lite or healthy don't expect to be pleased. In fact, when I asked my server what was good she told me she was a vegetarian and instead could tell me what was popular. Maybe she was weak and delusional from not letting something "with a face" pass through her lips but she could suggest a couple of thing without making MY lunch about her vegetarianism. That said the IPA is very acceptable and I'll be back to try a few more brews and eat the meatiest rare burger on the menu. Cheers! read more

Awesome breakfast, environment and service! We were seated right away when we arrived. We arrived at about 10:30 and they stop their breakfast service around 11:30. They definitely had customers, but it didn't have the "crowded" feeling that some other restaurants have. We were able to enjoy a lovely, somewhat private dining experience. Service was extremely prompt and we were so hungry that we gobbled up our meal and were out of the restaurant within 40 minutes. My husband got the breakfast special of breakfast tacos which were DELICIOUS! Seriously amazing. They definitely need to make it a regular breakfast item because it would be extremely popular in my opinion! I got the fried egg sandwich which was also great. The breakfast menu was fairly straightforward and has maybe 15 meals to choose from, which I really liked. You can do omelets, the special, get side items and a few other things. The coffee was great and she came by frequently for refills. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would certainly recommend this place to regulars or tourists! read more

Loved the house salad with balsamic vinaigrette! Mac & cheese with chicken & broccoli is awesome too! Definitely coming back again! read more

Springfield Brewing Company - Wow! House salad & Mac & cheese are awesome! - Breweries Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Great beers made on sight here. I preferred the doppelbock and the stout. The wheat was also very good as was the Rauch Lobster. I'm not a fan of IPAs but their regular wasn't bad, even to me. If you're local you can even order kegs. Didn't try any food but if you bring the kids they also make their own root beer and it's awesome read more

Granted, we were a group of 10, but the quality of service was lacking. Members of the group were skipped over and forgotten on food and drink orders. When we wanted more drinks we had to summon the server to place more drink orders. One grmember didn't even get her burger until everyone else had eaten and was time to go. They did end up not charging her for her meal, but still added a tip based on if she had paid for her meal. Update: management says they addressed the issue with staff. If you go with a group, hopefully your experience is much better! read more

Brew Co. has always been fantastic. They went through a weird transition time during a change of ownership, but definitely came out on top. With the addition of breakfast over the last year or so, they've really upped their game. It's fantastic. Try the Walnut Street Pancakes or the Brew Co. Breakfast Burrito, or if you want to play it basic get the biscuits and gravy. For dinner, just about anything is great. Great beers, great food. read more

Great atmosphere service was awesome Ivy was our server very polite and food was great we'll be back.

That AJ kid that works in the back is pretty cool and makes good food, gotta love the steak wrap or the chicken Mac

Good food, good beer, decent prices. This is a place to go with a group. We hit it up a few times for lunch and always enjoyed it. The burgers were great and the pizza was not half bad. It's a great microbrew to check out if you are passing through town and their homemade root beer is very good. But expect to drop about $12+ beer. read more

Springfield brewing co. is a very nice place and the food is on point. I like how they make they're own sauces.They're food is really good and my favorite item on there menu is the pulled pork sandwich.Over all I really like this place. read more

Great place for food, beer! We had a flight of beer...6 four oz. samples for $9! Also highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich, came with battered fries. Had grilled onions and Gouda cheese. Cheddar beer soup is good too! No beer tours, but nice place to eat and drink! read more

After getting off the plane yesterday, and being unreasonably hungry, my coworker and I decided on this place when it showed up on my GPS as being somewhat close to the airport. * We both got beer but I can't tell you much about it since I'm usually a liquor person. I would guess it was pretty good as my coworker had 2 himself and then the half pint that I had left over (I have VERY low alcohol tolerance, especially when I haven't had food all day). * Next we got the appetizer sampler platter, which had some soft pretzels COVERED in salt. I tried to scrape off the salt but it was still like eating a soft doughy salt stick. On top of the pretzels was a "Scotch Egg" which is basically a hard-boiled egg, dipped in breadcrumbs and sausage bits, then deep fried... yeah, I know. It looked interesting and didn't taste too bad...but I sure did regret eating it for the next 12 hours or so. The sampler also came with some wings, which were kinda bland. The ribs that came with were definitely the highlight. * As entrees, I got Lemon Pepper Tilapia and my coworker got a chicken sandwich of some sort. For a brewery, I must say my fish was surprisingly good. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat all of it because the appetizers we had caught up with me. My only complaint about the tilapia is that my "steamed vegetables" were 98% squash, which I hate, and 2% broccoli, which I savored. All in all: good entrees, alright beer, terrible appetizer platter. For 5:30 on a Monday, the place was also enormous, almost empty, and a bit too cold for comfort. $38 for 2 before tax and tip. read more

Can't beat a good micro-brew! The drinks here are very good. I also love their salads. My husband always orders the pretzels for appetizers and I must say, they are sub-par. This visit we ordered the deep fried egg. It sounded horrible, but was amazingly good! I could eat it for a meal, I liked it so much! Whenever we want to watch a Mizzou game, this is our first spot to go to. Fun, relaxing atmosphere! read more

Excellent food and excellent beer! Ordered a 'Better Than Mom's Grilled Cheese", sorry mom, but it's true! Best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had! And the Paul's Pale Ale is delicious. read more

The beers are pretty good. They brew pilsner, pale ale, porter and seasonals. Anytime I don't have to drink beer out of bottles, I'm happy. I had the pale ale and it was tasty. The appetizers are average bar fare and that's all we had this trip. The entrees being delivered to tables around us looked pretty good, though, with ample portions. The atmosphere is live and loud. It's one of those places where you're not going to have a quiet conversation over dinner and drinks. Our waiter was very attentive, and it looked like she was getting around to all the other tables promptly as well. I'd return for the beer and try an entrée. read more

As far as their brews go, I am not a huge fan. I am by no means a beer snob and I usually go for the girly sweet beers that brew co does not offer. The atmosphere is good but varies completely on wether you go with one other person vs. a large group. When it is just my husband and I, we get wonderful quick service. When I have gone with large groups it is almost assumed we have a ton of time and it usually takes almost two hours from sit down to leaving. My favorite meal that they serve is their Mac and Cheese, it sounds silly but it is the best macaroni I have ever had. I haven't tried very many other things on their menu, but there is a ton of delicious sounding options. read more

I loved the atmosphere of this Brew Pub. They had a downstairs area with tables and a large bar and there was also a huge upstairs area with more seating and pool tables. The menu is huge with some unique options like scotch eggs and freshly made soft pretzels. For a main dish my wife and I had the oven baked pizza and it was quite good. This being a brewery as well was even better. I tried the wheat and their Seasonal Hefe and they were both excellent. read more

This place is now back on our list. The new ownership has returned the feel, food quality, and wait staff back to the old days when it first opened. Great selection of their in-house brews. Thanks. read more

The Mexican egg rolls were the Bomb! I had the Mac/cheese/chicken/broccoli was good but I thought it was a little bit plain it would have been a bit better with some spice or seasonings. The white peach sangria was very Good. The hubs who had the beer have the pale ale but can't remember which one specifically, said it was very good. The hubs had the nachos for dinner with steak and was not real impressed way too much cheese at overpower the whole dish. read more

Stopped in while on town for business--it was pretty much the same as I've come to expect from a lot of micro-breweries--great beer and ok food. The Rye ale and Pale Ale were both great, but the food was just a bit underwhelming. I had the sirloin with side of seasonal vegetables and sweet potato fries instead of the garlic mashed potatoes. On the good side, the 10 oz. steak was cooked right--pretty straightforward with a cross-hatch of balsamic reduction on top. The vegetables were a basic saute of bell peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli in minced garlic. The sweet potato fries were "waffle" type and had a lot of cinnamon--it was almost like eating a bunch of slightly-sweet churros with your steak. It wasn't bad, but the A-OK rating was won mostly by the beer--next time I would probably just go in for drinks, or maybe an appetizer. read more

Friend had a burger and said it was pretty standard... nothing remarkable. We tried all of their beers which ranged from downright undrinkable (lager) to mediocre (wheat, stout) to fantastic (pale ale, doppel bock, blackberry wit) This is of course just my opinion but the opinion of someone that's visited most microbreweries in the US. I do not have a favorite type of beer and instead taste all with an open mind. The lager here was right along the lines of Coors Light... if that's what you're looking for in a microbrewery, seek help immediately. read more

Three partially reluctant stars. Here's the breakdown. The Good: - tasty beer - two beers cost $7.50. When the bartender told me I almost fell over. - big open space - pool tables - central location - friendly service The Bad: - so loud you have to yell - suuuuuuuper smokey - feels like a sports bar (Note: I think this is a con, but my guy loved it.) In sum, this is a place I go when my high school friends insist on it instead of the MudLounge. I go, but somewhat begrudgingly, and always have a good (but not great) time. read more

Not a huge fan. The beer isn't great and the price is a little high for me. The food is okay, nothing out of this world but comes out in a timely manner. The environment is casual and an alright place to hang out with some friends if you wanted some where local. The staff are normally friendly and really great. I always enjoy speaking with them. Not a place I think of when I want to go out but not a place I would refuse to go. read more

Craft beers were tasty, but the food was hit or miss. The pretzel appetizer was lackluster, but the chicken tenders with buttermilk batter were great. The brick oven pizza was tasty. We got the Meddy pizza and the roasted garlic wasn't roasted enough to drop the strong garlic bite, but the crust and other toppings were great. We ordered the bread pudding for dessert and it was very mediocre. A friend ordered the fish and chips and was very pleased, but the ones who ordered burgers and fries were really disappointed. The pitcher of margaritas was 90% ice, so not worth the price. read more

On our cross country drive we ended in Springfield, Mo. late one night. We needed a place that was good for us and our little kids. It was a saturday night, and 9 pm. We found this place off a list from the hotel where we were staying. The place was great for us and for our kids (4/5). The food was amazing. I ordered a burger and wished I ordered something else as what my wife had was amazing. My burger was good, but I wish we were staying longer so I could visit again. Maybe someday we'll return. read more

Loved this place! The food and service were amazing! The pulled pork nachos were delicious and I will back to get more. My mom and I split the Cali Chicken Sandwich and the cut it in half and brought our meals out already on separate plates! That was awesome! The waffle fries were yummy as well! I will def be going back! read more

Great space and atmosphere.Good place to have a few beers and watch the game. The Greene coast IPA were my picks.

We were up at lake Pomme de Terre for the fourth holiday and made a trip down to Springfield to visit Wilson's Creek battlefield and any breweries to pass our way. Stopping in at SBC was a great idea... The building is a big old, beautiful brick building made up to be comfortable inside. Large windows and a big solid wood bar create an inviting ambience. My next impression couldn't have been better. I ordered the seasonal Hefeweizen and it was perhaps the best Hefeweizen I've had! A hint of citrus, clove and a nice banana aroma made it a delicious and easy drink on a hot summer day. The food was very good as well. We ordered a number of appetizers - the southwest egg rolls, wings, and hummus were great! Later some of us split the limited Bourbon Berry Stout. Smooth, rich, and flavorful. So good! SBC made such an impression on us that we came back a few nights later for dinner. Again we had great beer, good service, and tasty food! Well done SBC! read more

We started off with the hummus, which was a little bland until we stirred in the tapenade. I had the pulled pork fajita salad. The pork was dry and tasted a bit stale. My mom had the fish and chips, which is usually her favorite. She complained that the fish was too fishy. The waffle fries that came with them were well seasoned and pretty tasty. The service was okay, but all things considered we probably we won't be back. read more

My last two dining experiences here have been nothing short of atrocious. The first negative experience: Waitress is rather awkward and not very attentive. I ordered a "Hop Lobster" which, to put it gently, was gross. In fact, it is really a shame hey have such a beautiful brewery because it is quite literally wasted on the awful beer that is made there. Anyway, I ordered my food. The item is listed on the menu as "Chicken Tortellini Marsala." So when I got my food, I was surprised that the pasta had neither chicken or any real sauce. Just some overcooked tortellini and peas. Not good. The second time: Extremely reluctant to return after previous experience. The person I was with wanted to eat somewhere with a patio (which, BTW, as of April 1st, you can't smoke on). I have to admit, SBC has a great patio. Anyway, service was very good. Ordered a quinoa salad after literally having said, "I don't know how you can screw up a salad." When I got my salad, there was no quinoa: instead, there was a massive pile of olive tapenade. The person constructing the salad literally could not discern between tapenade and quinoa. Additionally, when they brought the new salad, it came with an enormous ramekin full of a balsamic reduction. Evidently, the person making the salad also thought the balsamic reduction was their balsamic vinaigrette. The kitchen staff here is either incredibly unskilled or just don't care about the quality of the food they serve. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this place; from the food to the beer, everything is poorly done. Truly a shame, because the space and location are great. read more
