    Charlie's Pineapple Upside-down Wit
    Jessica S.

    A coworker and I came here recently on a Thursday afternoon, and we had a pleasant experience. When walking in, the place is huge. There is a large bar where you walk in and plenty of tables all over the dining room. We sat in the room off the main dining room near the garage-like windows because we wanted to feel like we were sitting outside without actually sitting outside. We had a very nice and attentive waiter when we sat down, and he was patient with us as we looked at the menu since it was our first time here. The alcohol list is extensive and has many unique options since they are a brewery. I initially ordered a 16 oz Charlie's Pineapple Upside Down Wit, and it was delicious. I don't think it tasted like a "dessert," as it says on the menu, but it was a great sour if that's your vibe. Then, I ended up ordering a 16 oz Carried Away by Cardinals. This one was amazing and tasted like a fruity wine because it was made from raspberries and blueberries. I liked this one more than the pineapple one, but they are two very different unique and enjoyable flavors I recommend trying! I was excited because it seemed as though we came here unexpectedly during happy hour. After all, these two beers were only $5 for me when they should have been $7 each. My friend ordered a cocktail called the Tail Chaser, and she enjoyed it, so she ended up getting two. From an outsider's perspective, it looked like a pink lemonade! As for food, I ordered the mac and cheese with roasted red pepper ($15). I had high hopes because it came in a skillet and looked amazing. The noodles and peppers were delicious, but I was unimpressed with the cheese sauce. The sauce wasn't creamy at all and ended up being watery. I wasn't a fan, and it honestly ruined the dish. In my opinion, this is something to work on because everyone wants creamy mac and cheese instead of noodles swimming in a watery sauce. My friend ordered a grilled cheese ($8) from the kid's part of the menu, and she enjoyed it! Simple and easy. A plus is that we got our food fresh 10 minutes after ordering. Overall, I would 1000% come here again, but I probably wouldn't order the mac and cheese again. However, there are plenty of delicious-sounding options on the menu that I'd be willing to try, so I know I'll be back soon.

    A truly great brewery experience! We came as a small group on a Saturday afternoon and it was the perfect spot. Plenty of seating and very family friendly; lots of kids and babies! I tried a flight of beer and all of them were excellent. Additionally, I never have high expectations for brewery food but it was all delicious. There were a lot of options and the food came out very quickly. We will for sure be coming back (hopefully for some live music)!

    Horchata root beer
    Shannon M.

    A friend and I stopped in here for lunch after a day of shopping in downtown Glen Ellyn. It was a chill bar vibe but not too noisy, and we nabbed a booth along one wall. I started with the intriguing horchata root beer that was advertised on the door. I like horchata, I like root beer, so this was an interesting blend of the two: the cinnamon of the horchata and the rootiness of the root beer; it was also very carbonation-forward (made me sneeze a few times after the first couple sips!) Not the very best root beer I ever had, but a fun flavor trip. For our meal, we both ordered exactly the same thing: the Good Boy Burger with smoked cheddar, crispy onions and apple cider bbq sauce, but no jalapenos, cooked medium, with fries. YUM! A tasty, hearty burger, slightly messy but not a disaster. Cutting it in half made eating it more manageable. Our waiter, Jordan, was laid-back, friendly, and chatty. Overall, this is one to remember for the next visit to Glen Ellyn.

    Spellcaster In Perdition With Mexican Rice And Black Beans
    Steve A.

    Came upon this while going somewhere and instead stopped in to get some beer and grub. It turns out to be more than a brewery as they also have a kitchen. Two Hound Red is the only brewery in Glen Ellyn and for now is filling the demand that before wasn't in this town. A lot of beers beyond just the IPA stuff you can get anywhere. You can also get some good healthy food as well. Even though it hasn't been around long it manages to have a good variety of beers. It has more than just the common stuff like IPAs that many people have had enough of. They also have a few sours. Even the IPAs they have are interesting. We had a few different types. I had a Spellcaster In Perdition. It's $7 for a pint. This is a New England Hazy IPA with a bold taste. It has hints of many fruits. There's notes of black pepper, guava, lemon, and red grapefruit. It's not just beer. There's food too. It has a pretty surprisingly good kitchen with a few plant based options. We had the Mexican Rice And Black Beans so we had something to eat as well to keep a good pace. It's $5 for a bowl. This is a good affordable option for vegetarians. Also rice helps absorb alcohol. Then you can have more. Get your drink on and your eat on in a pretty cool brewery. It's better than those ones that just have the same few kinds of beer so if you like variety come here. The food is also good and the even have some friendly to vegetarians.

    I really want to like this place. I will give it another chance. The food was OK. I was surprised at the mac & cheese it was Meh. The Cuban sandwich was OK. I did like it. I don't know. Maybe it was an off day for them. I'll try it again. Service took forever and it was not busy.

    Sadly won't be returning. Atmosphere is cool and server good but food was flat. Roasted brussel sprouts were all burnt and dry very little green probably from over roasting and sitting under a lamp for too long. Pulled pork sandwich was ok. Spinach and artichoke dip was very oily and chips very hard. A lot of this could be from sitting too long out vs being fresh to order. Cocktails and beer on point however the food menu looks good but isn't executed well.

    We stopped here on a Sunday afternoon and the moment we walked in the vibe was welcoming vibe. My husband liked their beer selection and even bought some to go. I tried the one cider they had, but was not disappointed. My husband ordered his usual, cheese curds and there was a bit of a problem with the order. They actually came out a bit after our lunch, but the server immediately came over and told us he forgot to put the order and they comped the curds. It was much more than we expected and we appreciated it. The curds were probably some of the best he has had, the tempura batter was light and not all greasy. I had the chihuahua chicken sandwich , but without the bun. The chicken was topped with salsa, avocado and cheese. My husband had the Sweetie. The chicken was massive , so sweet! Service was excellent . They do offer a monthly beer club , which sounded enticing. We definitely will be back to try more of their beers, and food.

    If you like a monthly beer, this looks like the way to go!

(full disclosure, we stopped in on a Monday night so that could be the cause for some of the experience....) We, a group of four, walked into a complete ghost town. There was barely a soul in the place. It didn't seem to affect anything with the food or service it just felt weird given the size of the bar and dining room area. Which, if you have a big group, this is a great spot to host a large gathering! Our waitress was very friendly and gave us ample attention, taking our orders quickly and delivering food that was hot and fresh. We had burgers (both were great but my Cartel was INCREDIBLE), a salad (tasty) and chicken fingers (yum!). Their burger menu has some fun options and covers a wide array of everything. The one thing that gave me pause, however, was that they only have pretzel buns (aside from gluten free). However, they were not dry at all and tasted delicious! The way a pretzel bun should! We left full and satisfied. I don't know how quickly we'll be back because there are so many other options for burgers out there but I'll certainly keep this spot in mind for the future!

We had to ask another server just to get utensils and even to refill our water. No napkins were provided either, and the table didn't feel properly reset or cleaned compared to others. We were trying to enjoy the nice weather on the patio, but the service really took away from the experience. I ordered my burger medium rare and it came out undercooked with barely any flavor. Shortly after eating, I got sick with stomach issues. For the prices they charge, the food quality and service do not match at all. I honestly wouldn't come back for food again maybe just drinks and to hang out. Worst $80 I've ever spent on food. Save your money, don't buy the food here. Would not recommend.

A few small notes, but overall this place exceeded expectations. The real stars of the night were our servers, Barb and Jeremy. They were consistently attentive, professional, and kind -- not just to us, but to every guest in the room. Jeremy noticed the birthday celebrant hadn't had a chance to try the chicken tenders, and quietly arranged a special plate with bonus fries just for him. That level of care and awareness is hard to find. On to the food -- the chicken tenders appetizers are a must-order. Light batter, juicy, and not dried out like you get at so many other places. They went so fast we ordered a second round, and it came out almost instantly -- no wait at all! The spinach & artichoke dip was warm, cheesy, ooey-gooey perfection, served with light and crispy tortilla chips. I had to physically stop myself from eating more to save room for dinner. For the main course, we had three options. The fettuccine alfredo was generous in portion (I couldn't finish mine!), though the chicken pieces were a touch tough -- and a slice of garlic bread would be a nice touch to balance the creaminess. The meatloaf, though? AMAZING. Served on a french roll, topped with crispy onion straws and a sweet, tasty barbecue glaze -- it was a showstopper. The millionaire bacon burger was untouched at our table, but guests raved it was big, juicy, and delicious. A nice bonus for families: kids under 12 were able to order anything from the kids' menu, which was a great perk for the younger guests. When our 2-hour window was almost up, we were planning to extend -- and before we even asked, they told us the manager said we were welcome to stay longer if we needed. That kind of hospitality goes a long way. We took the full extra hour and guests enjoyed mingling, cake, and desserts without feeling rushed. Oh, and the women's restroom? Clean and fully stocked. Always appreciated! The surprise was a success, and this place played no small part in that. Highly recommend for private events!
