    My partner and I have been here twice now. They have a great Groupon deal. I like the food they serve, good comfort food like burgers. The beers are all pretty solid. They have a good selection of styles. They even have some fun boozy slushies to try as well. They have indoor seating as well as outdoor picnic style benches out back. The staff are the real stars of the show though, theyre so friendly and helpful. They seem to really enjoy working there!

    Soft serve margarita
    Lizarely Q.

    Love love love this place!!! So many yummy food & drink options. Love how sweet they are with my dogs. Vibes are always there and the staff always so sweet they really make you feel like family. Of course had to try the soft served margaritas. Omg delicious especially on a hot sunny day.

    Puppy menu: egg

    10/10 place and super dog friendly with a puppy menu. The atmosphere is great and sometimes plant bingo is hosted here. Dog friendly, beer, and plants... what more can a girl want?

    Thompson Brewing Company is a bit of a hidden spot, you wouldn't really know it's there, and from the outside it kind of looks like a hole in the wall. When you walk in, it's a little surprising at first because it almost feels like you've stepped into an office. Then you notice the ordering counter and realize where you are. The seating is unique. You walk through the back to what feels like a warehouse area with just a couple of tables, which can be a bit off-putting because my 4 year old wanted to run around and touch EVERYTHING. We couldn't sit on the patio because it was raining, but it looks like it would be nice on a clear day. The best seating is definitely upstairs, where they have long tables, arcade and board games you can check out from the front desk. That area really changes the whole vibe. The service was amazing and one of the highlights of the visit. The ambiance upstairs feels lively and fun, it genuinely feels like a party and is very family-friendly. As for the food, this is where it lands at three stars. The brisket was dry and didn't have much flavor, and while the pulled pork nachos were better, that was mostly because of the sauce. The meat itself fell a little flat for barbecue. That said, it could've been because we came later in the day, and the brisket may have been sitting for a while. I'd definitely be open to giving the food another try and ordering different items. The french fries were really good, and the nacho chips themselves were super solid, which makes me think other menu items might be better choices. Overall, while the barbecue meat didn't hit for me this time, the great service, fun games, family-friendly atmosphere, and lively energy make this a place I'd come back to and try again.

    Friday Night Band
    Q. H.

    I brought my wife here for her 50th Birthday and it was great! We invited our friends and got here just after 5pm so we could get a good table to watch the Friday night band. It was a great evening with great drinks, food, and music! Their menu is awesome and their hospitality is through the roof! Come on out here to Riverside and enjoy Thompson's Brewing!

    Food and service were great. I ordered The veggie burger and strawberry splash mocktail. Burger was declined and came w/ fries. It had good savory flavor. Not too dry. The drink was sweet and tasted similar to a Shirley temple. Would recommend both! Ambiance was very spacious and social. They have an upstairs seating area and outdoor seating w/ portable fire warmer thingys. Veggie Burger: 4.5/5 Strawberry Splash Mocktail: 4/5

    Classic chicken sandwich with fries
    Monica C.

    I've been here a few years ago for drinks. Came back recently with my family to celebrate my birthday. The gentleman at the cash register was very friendly and helpful. I wasn't sure what seltzer I wanted and he gave me a few samples, but didn't rush me despite having a line behind me (many were my family, LOL). I decided on the Hard Tea seltzer and it was refreshing on a hot day. I also ordered the Classic chicken sandwich, and the chicken is two crispy chicken fingers in a sandwich. It was really crispy and not greasy, which is a major plus. I also got the pickle chips and those were amazing. Crunchy texture (possibly Panko crusted) and minimal grease. Esteban brought out our food and he was very friendly and upbeat. He said they have many house made sauces and I tried the white Bbq sauce with my meal. It tasted more like a white honey mustard than Bbq sauce but was really good. We did sit outside on a warm day and found that a few more umbrellas would have helped ease the heat. Many people came out and went back inside because of the heat. We did appreciate that there is a napkin dispenser on each table. Overall, great food, service and atmosphere. I'll be back to try a cheeseburger and seltzer flight.

    Let me start off by saying that the staff is AMAZING! Always friendly & willing to help you out in whichever way they can! This is also a kid friendly place which helps whenever you want a quick drink but have the kiddos. Food is also 10/10 my family & I always go for the pull pork fries. Definitely recommend when you're looking for something fulfilling. Overall recommend if you haven't already given this gem a try.

    Truffle fries and garlic sauce
    Jeff S.

    I've visited this place for its beers but never tried their food. I had the Brisket jam burger and truffle fries with garlic sauce. The burger was delicious, and the garlic sauce complemented the fries. The honey blond was refreshing with a subtle honey flavor.

    Inside

    Such a great spot with delicious food and drinks! We came on a Saturday evening, and it was packed. Even so, the entire staff was doing their absolute best to keep things moving fast. We got our drinks almost immediately, and the food came out in about 10 minutes. We ordered the pub burger, the American burger, and mozzarella sticks. The pub burger was so big I couldn't even finish it. What really impressed me was how juicy it was without the bun getting soggy or falling apart like it does at so many other places - the bread was firm and really good quality. Both burgers came with fries. Definitely grab sauces right away; I especially loved the spicy ranch sauce. For drinks, I had a sour beer, blueberry and lemon, and it was absolutely amazing. If you're not sure you'll like it, you can ask for a sample, which is a really nice touch. The atmosphere is also super interesting: upstairs they have large communal tables, which makes it easy to sit, chat, and even meet new people. Such a fun experince. The service deserves special mentionI honestly don't know how the owner managed to hire so many friendly and professional people. We chatted with several staff members, and every single one of them was the definition of polite. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Brisket Sandwich
    Jacob C.

    Thompson Brewing is cool & friendly and has some tasty menu items. I had The Space Kitten West Coast IPA (6.6% ABV) and Chopped Brisket BBQ Sandwich. Both were really tasty and I'd like to sample a burger. I think they should invest in a canopy and another TV for the patio. There's a a lot of seating upstairs and downstairs as well as games for everyone.

    Never disappointing ordered the nachos and they were amazing!!! Exceptional customer service and immaculate vibes :]

    This is my second time here. First time, the experience was ok. Food and drinks were mid so when…read moreour friends wanted to come here for lunch, we were already hesitant but decided to come back to check it out again before posting a review. Came here with friends during lunch hour & got some items from the "lunch deals" section. For the lunch deals, we got the 2 chicken tacos, which comes with chips & salsa. There was a decent amount of chips and salsa and the tacos were a good size & had good flavors. 8/10 for the chicken tacos. My friend got the traditional wings (6 piece) lunch deal which comes with a side of fries & celery. The sizes of the wings look decent & she enjoyed the meal. Our party also got the steak tacos & steak nachos. This time, there was a decent amount of steak on the nachos and it paired perfectly with everything. The first time we came here and we got the nachos during our last visit, there was barely any steak on the nachos so I'm glad they corrected it and making it better. 8/10 for the nachos. Drinks: my group mainly got beer so they were all good & happy with it. I wanted a margarita flight and well, that was pretty disappointing. It was supposed to be 4 different flavors/drinks with tequila. But where was the tequila? I felt that they should've been upfront with it on the menu and called it a mocktail or something because when we didn't taste any tequila in it, we asked the waitress & she mentioned to us that there is only 1 shot of tequila for the whole flight...like what?! That flight cost $20 so you're telling me I'm basically buying $20 worth of juice since the tequila is non-existent?! That was truly disappointing to hear & even the waitress said she would never recommend the flight because of it and it wasn't fun to make. So do better Brass Tap, either add more tequila to your flight to make it actually worth $20 or just remove it all together from your menu. Deceiving & a total waste. 0/10 for the flight. Thankfully the waitress removed it from our bill without issue & got me the watermelon margarita to replace it. Much better and you can taste some tequila in it (not much but a lot more than what was sprinkled onto the flight). 6/10 for the watermelon drink. Overall the service is decent and the space is decent for small groups. There's seating at the bar area and tables inside and outside. Decor was typical for these type of place. Plenty of parking as well. Will I be back? Maybe if drinks are better.
