Went in for the first time last night and was amazed by their beer selection. First off, the way they display their beers so you can see the color is TOP TIER! The staff were quick to offer samples and discuss flavor profiles and selections. Personally I stuck w the Nut Brown (pause) and even left w a six pack to go! Best beer I've had in a long time. They have a huge back patio area and even had good live music. Definitely will be a regular spot now. read more

Great customer service, food delicious and beers even better. Will be back, try the family platter, really good, ate it all before I could take a picture read more

Thompson Brewing - Beer - American Near Me - Riverside, California

We frequent the brewery and every time we are greeted by the nicest people. Every employee is friendly and always helpful. The happiness of visiting an establishment who welcomes our dog is a feeling we cannot explain. I have not had a food dish that was bad, enjoyed all of them. The actually sitting areas offer all experiences. You can be inside, outside on the patio, or sit in the brewery room and look at all the patrons basking in the open air. I highly recommend this brewery to everyone. read more

Super fun to visit with friends. Delicious burgers and excellent choices for brews to go with them. On the pricier side but the food is so good that you quickly forget about all that. read more

A fun Halloween experience. Great food and seasonal drinks. It's nice that we can bring out dog too. read more

Thompson Brewing - Char Boo Terie - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Hidden brewery in Riverside. Love that they had Belgian beers which is rare for breweries to have nowadays. One line for everything (beer and food) They have a back door patio. Friendly staff. The guy taking our order was kind enough to be patient to let us try some seltzers they have on tap before we order a full pint, even with a line waiting to place their orders. Food was amazing. We got a smash burger with friends. We also got wings and BBQ fries. Delicious. Definitely get a flight to get a taste of all their beers or seltzers. One thing I would say that will help them, have one line for food and another for beer. Will come back. Thanks Thompson Brewery. read more

They definitely added a lot of food to the menu since the last time we were here a few years ago. The buffalo chicken sandwich was good except that the coleslaw just slid out of the sandwich with every bite. By the end it was just bread. The pretzel was unsalted so that was disappointing. All of the staff had good attitudes even though they were slammed. The food took almost half an hour to come out but perhaps they were shorthanded. The inside definitely has it's charm and it's clean. The outside patio is small but can still seat plenty of people and they have games available to play while you hang out. It was a bit pricey, but I suppose everything is these days. They had a great selection of beer and the boozy slushy was super tasty. read more

We went to Thompson's last night to listen to Arena Red. We made reservations and they had two big tables saved for us. The patio was a great place to listen to music. Such an accommodating family business. We all ordered food and beer and all the beer choices were fantastic and the food was yummy. Definitely will be going back. Our whole party had such a good time read more

Great beer selection. The food is not what I expected. With a rating of 4.6 you would think that the food is a home run. However, we were disappointed.. The brisket sandwich was average. The beans and fries were cold. The Mexican corn salad almost frozen. The pork quesadilla was the best part of this, but if you compare it to other barbecue places, it simply is average and looks like it had been sitting in a heat lamp. Again the beers were awesome especially the sour but the food is below average. I feel bad writing this review, but I just wanted to be honest. I came from Los Angeles to see the mission Inn and wanted to get some good food at the Riverside area. read more

Delicious food! The meat was exceptional quality. Tons of beers to try at this family owned brewery. Family friendly, games for the kids. read more

Thompson Brewing - Brisket Burger and prickly pear drink - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Yelp pictures vs what I got The food I received didn't quite match the appealing photos on Yelp. The presentation could definitely use some improvement, and the portion size felt a bit small for the price. As for the taste, it was just okay--the brisket was a little tougher than I expected. On the bright side, the beer selection was good and hit the spot. Overall, it was an average experience with room for improvement. read more

Thompson Brewing - Brisket Sandwich - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Food is amazing... love the chicken sandwich and the baked beans and Mac and cheese. Yummy

Restaurant is located in the middle of a industrial parking lot Once inside you order then proceed upstairs to eat Food came out fairly quickly Only downside is you do have to go downstairs for refills and cups are super small Also for the price servings are extremely small as well My husband ordered a cheeseburger and came with very few fries definitely should be serving a bit more Staff was nice Total for two was $45 Are pet friendly read more

We go here once a while as a nice treat, and their food is always consistently amazing taste good. The reason I came back cuz I've never brought my dog over. I got an email saying they're having a pups and brew event so cute concept and that's why I went! Food tasted amazing as always and bringing my pup was so much fun ! read more

Spent $22 on a brisket sandwich and barely any meat and not a hint of the neat being smoked. Not satisfied with my meal.Not going back

Went here with a friend. Service was great, but after that things didn't go so well. I ordered the brisket mac n cheese, which the brisket was OK but the Mac was inedible. No flavor and a chalky texture. My friend got the buffalo chicken sandwich, which she said was good but messy. The place itself looked a bit rundown and haphazard. Only 1 TV in the whole place. It is nice that they bring the food to your table (since you order at counter). However, ice machine was down, out of sour cream, some soda was out. Overall I would not likely come here again. Although, it was a brewery and neither of us got a beer. So I cannot speak to that. read more

In the warehouse area next to a salon for parties. Staff was nice & there was inside and outside seating. Beer options were great! Really liked the sours. Mozz sticks were good but the rest of the food was whatever could have just been the choices. We got chicken tenders & like some jalapeño fries both underwhelming. Would return for beer but not so much for food. read more

Food is amazing, beer is equally so. I attended the music bingo tonite. Definitely won't return for that event. But I'll always be back for the food and beer. read more

5 stars for the food - it was delicious! My partner got American burger w/ fries and I got the burger salad. Everything was delicious, the smash patties were flavorful and tasty, fries fresh cut and seasoned. Sign me up! Yum! I was underwhelmed by the beer. We both got a flight and got different beers so we had a good sample, and I was just not impressed. Service was great. It's in an unexpected strip mall/commercial building type of place. I'd go back for the food for sure. read more

This place truly cares from the yummy food they put out to the amazing customer service . Me and my family were celebrating an early Mother's Day lunch here . When we got there it wasn't too busy which was nice because this place can get crowded . I ordered the brisket sandwich with the beans and the Mac and cheese . I also got a boozy slushy because why not . Overall the food came out pretty quick and they delivered it to our table . The brisket sandwich was juicy and flavorful and they were stingy with the pickles or the onions . The baked beans were amazing and they had good flavor to them and chunks of meat in them . The Mac and cheese to me tasted okay . I have had it before and it was super yummy but this time it dindt taste the same . The boozy slushy was green apple flavored and it was a not to sweet and went down super easy . Overall there was An ample seating and they have all kind of board games for the family . Overall I give this place a 5 out of 5 . read more

We've been here a few times now and always love this place! Casual, with good music playing, and a nice selection of good food too. The burgers, wings, chicken sandwich, pulled pork, BBQ and tots are all our faves here. And of course, all of the beers! Every flight I've done has been great. You order when you walk in at the front, and even if the line seems long, don't worry - it moves quickly and service is never slow. I also appreciate that we can comfortably bring the kids along, and not worry so much about them being louder than normal, and there are games to entertain them too. read more

Worked with the brewery to set up an end-of-season gathering. The experience was very smooth! The drinks and the food was amazing! Highly recommended! read more

The brisket fries are AMAZING! I didn't even have a chance to take a pic, I devoured them so fast lol read more

If I could give them more than five stars I absolutely would !! Thompson Brewing is located in Riverside off Indiana inside a commercial building (their logo can be hard to see from the street - it will be on the front door). There is plenty of parking out front. You will find both indoor and outdoor seating here with low top tables. Ordering takes place inside at their front counter. If you choose to sit outside, it is in the back where they have setup artificial grass, Picnic tables with umbrellas and heater lamps - best part? The patio is dog friendly making this the perfect place for any dog PAWrents ;) Service is extremely friendly and so helpful if you have questions! The food here is award winning so you can't go wrong but I highly recommend the pub burger ! They only use wagyu beef and WOW. One of the best burgers I've had ever !!! I paired it with the truffle fries which were perfectly cooked by the way ! The Mess came in at a very close second and the brisket taco was phenomenal!! They also taking reservations for large parties and catering. There are multiple family games setup around the brewery for you and the family like uno, connect four and scrabble. This is a family owned business so come support them , you won't regret eating here ! read more

Food is good. Service is nice. The atmosphere is definitely lacking. The patio needs a power wash and is kinda cramped. The plastic folding tables and chairs in the brewery are pretty cheesy. The atmosphere definitely brings down the experience. Luckily it was on the cooler side when I went as I can't imagine sitting in a parking lot with AstroTurf on a typical riverside summer day. read more

Stopped in with my whole family for lunch and we underestimated this place! What looked like a small venue, we discovered the beauty of maximizing space! As you walk into the front door, there are two separate lines, one is designated for drinks and the other is designated for food and drinks. The menu had so much to choose from and with our medium sized group, my family and I enjoyed a little bit of everything! After placing our order, we had choices to sit upstairs in a game room area or out back in the outdoor patio area where we were greeted by a band playing St. Paddy's Day music. Of course, we chose the patio area and enjoyed every minute the band played for us. There are picnic table seating under tents and a lot of room to move. When our food arrived, we taste tested the nachos, wings, burgers, pickled chips, and the beers! Everything was tasty! Wings came in several flavors, maple bacon and buffalo, the BBQ is delicious!! Briskets, fries, and the burgers were a good mix to include a spicy bird, Wagyu Burger, and hot mess burger to name a few. We had a blast and we love the food and beers they prepared for us! We definitely plan to visit again! read more

This place is amazing. My husband and I planned a quick wedding and let me tell you Martha was very helpful, courteous and very accommodating. We didn't want a party we just wanted to find a local spot where we can go eat with our family and friends after the ceremony. We have a big family and Thompsons brewery was the only local spot that was able to accommodate all 100 of our guests. Martha was so easy going, responded quickly to all emails. Working with her to reserve part of her space made everything easy. The food was amazing and the service was great. Wendy was the one in charge of our evening and she was always available to make sure everything was taken care of all night. Our wedding was celebrated there January 9 2026 and the brewery has a live band that night. Which was also fun to have as entertainment. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. Let's not forget the beer. Thank you Martha and the team for helping us enjoy a great night. I highly recommend Thompson Brewery. read more

The staff is so friendly and remembers us every time we come in. The rotating beers and margaritas are so good, but the food is what keeps us coming back so often. Amazing! read more

My family, friends and I were looking for a place that would accommodate a large party 16 and above. We all decided this would be the place. It was busy when we got there for Saturday night. They have upgraded their food choices since last time we were here. Of course we love the beer choices too. We tasted a few beer options. In addition we would come back for their desserts We appreciate the fast service and food options. Thank you! We will come back read more

What can I say about Thompson that hasn't already been said...it's hand's down my family's favorite place, it's the place that my boys want to have their birthday dinners and the place that I chose to have my retirement party...why? Because it's the best place in town for the best burger you'll have in town and a killer selection of amazing beers and other drinks. If you're missing Thompson, you're missing what Riverside really has to offer. read more

My friends and I went to the Mud Hut studio next door and had a great time. When we finished we walked over to Thompson Brewing . First of all we made it in time because it filled up fast. I know why. The food was so yummy. I had the pulled pork sandwich. The sauce was so good, the cole slaw crisp and fresh, even the pickles were delicious. We will be going back after we pick up our pieces from Mud Hut. read more

Best burger I have had in a really Long time. Simple yet good food not to salty or sweet allowing the ingredients to speak for themselves. Everything we tried was really good. Also the beer was good too especially the tangerine wheat. Will definitely be my go too place for a cheat meal... that being said the options are limited if you are looking for something healthy. The employees were friendly and certainly demonstrated a pride for their product. Super dog friendly outdoors and low key picnic bench style seating. Will certainly go back. read more
