If you're looking for the perfect spot for a date night, family outing, or just a relaxing…read moreafternoon, I can't recommend Good News Brewing in Defiance enough. It's hands down our favorite location! The wood-fired pizza is always delicious, and the beer selection is fantastic. My go-to is the Hazy 636, while my husband never passes up a Helias. We love bringing our boys (they love the mocktails), grabbing a pizza and a couple of beers, playing cards, and just slowing down together. The atmosphere is what keeps us coming back. There's a beautiful indoor space with garage doors that open up when the weather is nice, plus plenty of outdoor seating surrounded by the scenic beauty of Defiance. We've visited the St. Charles and Wildwood locations too, and they're both great, but there's just something special about the views and peaceful setting at the Defiance location that makes it our favorite. The service at all the locations have been top notch Whether you're stopping after a ride on the Katy Trail, planning a casual date, or spending time with family, this place never disappoints.

Good News Brewing in Defiance was a fun stop after the St. Patrick's Day parade. It was very busy,…read morebut we were still able to find a table and order food without too much trouble. The setup is casual--you order food and drinks at the register and then receive a text when your food is ready for pickup. When we went to grab our order, part of it was missing because someone else had accidentally taken it. The staff handled it well and quickly remade the missing items, which we appreciated. We ordered pizza, chicken wings, and a pretzel with cheese. Everything was pretty good and hit the spot after being out in the cold. The patio also had a live band playing, which created a really fun atmosphere. Overall it was a lively place with good food and a great vibe, especially on a busy event day.

The flavors and freshness stood out, but the portions didn't quite match the price. The service was great and everyone was very kind.

We really like coming to this winery because we can get wines made in Missouri or made on The west coast. I love the venue because it is beautiful looking out to the country side. We could sit inside or outside. I was surprised and delighted that they had live music on Wed. night. Our waiter was fine except he confused everyone's bill and had to redo them. No biggies it was all straighten out in the end.

The french toast one was unreal, probably the best muffin I've had in a long time. The sugar on top was the perfect crunch. The blueberry was a very good muffin as well. Both were moist & not too sweet. Our coffee flight was so fun, the lavender fields latte & fireside mocha were my favorites! The cinnamon in the fireside mocha was delishhhh. I forget her name but the woman working was so kind. The place was very clean & decorated cute! I loved the paintings in the bathroom of the town. We parked on the road across the street, I do not believe they had a parking lot but I'm not entirely sure. I wish we lived closer so we could come more often! I hope the locals are taking advantage. We will be back!

The food this time was not great at all. I had chicken salad on a croissant with their Cole slaw. The chicken salad had like nothing in it. Maybe 2 pecans 3 grapes, the chicken was huge chunks just not that great at all very very dry. Cole slaw is very unique in itself this time a lot of the core of the cabbage was in it. Very dry. My husband got The Ruben was good and a huge portion. They have so much swine in their food it's just nasty. Unless u want to do their Veggie sandwich not to bad.

Meanwhile, several people who ordered after us received their food long before we did. It honestly seemed like our order may have been lost, but instead of being upfront and apologizing, we were repeatedly told "5 more minutes" over and over again. On top of that, I asked the employee at the register if they had any nonalcoholic wine or drinks available, and the response I got was basically "I don't know, I don't think so," without even attempting to check or ask someone else. After waiting that long, our food finally arrived cold, which made the experience even more disappointing. Especially on Mother's Day, when families are coming out to celebrate, we expected much better customer service and communication.
