Voodoo Brewing Co - Valrico, FL — Local services in Brandon

All and all, this place is pretty good... the food quality is exceptional and well presented. Staff is very nice and accommodating. It's not the cheapest spot to eat in town, but everything is pretty high quality so it's somewhat justified. I don't have a full opinion though as I only tried a few things.

I will say this place does a lot of unique meals that have ingredients you might not normally mix together so just be wary of that. I haven't tried their whole menu by any means, but I tried their nachos and I tried their wings.

The nachos had BBQ sauce/ketchup flavored sauce in it which really threw me off. It complemented the pulled pork but its not my cup of tea. They don't really tell you this place is supposed to reflect a BBQ style, namely with their wings sauces and appetizers. I did try the pretzels and beer cheese, I thought those items were phenomenal.

With the wings, their menu is quite a bit misleading. I ordered the habanero hot, and there really wasn't anything hot about it aside from the temperature which was disappointing because I was hoping for some habanero burn. The quality of the wings were so good I couldn't stay bummed for long.

When I asked why they told me because of the flash cook and that it's not supposed to be hot. I don't understand why that's called "Habanero Hot" when realistically it's more like Habanero Sweet. Again, not really an issue just confusing and you should be wary of this if you like hot and spicy wings that burn your mouth because these certainly don't have that habanero capsaicin kick.

I didn't let that ruin my time though and I did give the wings a try anyway and they were very good and uniquely flavored which I rather did enjoy in hindsight, but I was pretty focused on getting a burn going and didn't really do my research.

All and all this place is great. The atmosphere is pretty welcoming. Our waitress was nice and frequently checked on us.

I will say, it was kinda dark where I was seated and that's why I can't give the atmosphere a full rating, I don't know if that's just a one time thing but if I'm paying higher prices for stuff I wanna be able to thoroughly see the food I paid for rather than have to use my phone camera light. Just kind of common sense to me.

There's plentiful parking and the drink menu is killer, again it's a bit more pricy but if you want to get something new it's really not...

Met up with some of my work friends and did not have the best experience here. My friends arrived first and had ordered some food, when me and my mother arrived the waitress took our drink order. They brought out the other members of the tables food, and one of my friends at the table an asked her for another drink but she still didn’t ask what we would like to eat. I had to call her over and say we’d like to order our food. My mother ordered a salad and I orders the RBQ tacos and asked for the fries, which is listed as a $2 upcharge with the tacos on the menu. They brought out my mother’s salad after about 20+ minutes and my fries but not my tacos. One of my friends wanted to order another drink, but our waitress had not come out for quite some time, so my friend went in to order it and asked about my tacos for me, they said they’d be out soon. After all my friends and mother had finished their meals, about 30 minutes after my mothers salad had come out and my friend had asked about my tacos, my tacos were finally brought to me with the explanation that the kitchen “forgot” about them. By that point I just asked for a box since everyone else at the table was done and ready to leave. Then when the waitress came out to give us boxes, and our checks, she had to split the checks on a handheld, and when she handed it to me to pay ours I couldn’t see the items we had on our check, it only listed the price, and I had the receipt texted to me. Only after we had all left did I realize she charged me for a sweet tea, which I did not order, I only had a water, and she charged for a full order of fries at $5.13 and not the $2 upcharge, which is what I asked for. We will not be going back there. The food was not that great (I tried my tacos at home, and my friends mentioned that only the pizza was good and the other meals they had were not, they were lacking in flavor and the tacos were dry), the service was not good at all and my food took forever to come. They didn’t even offer to take something off the bill, like a couple of bucks or a small percentage, for the inconvenience and they over charged me. It’s really too bad because I had higher hopes for this place and first impressions do matter. I would not recommend this place, unless you want to be overcharged and wait forever for everyone at your table to...

We showed up on a Monday there were 4 tables. Got seated fast and server came over and offered drinks, didn't offer her name, she asked if we wanted some green beer (being St Patrick's day) we said no and we asked what kind of soda they had she said they don't have coke or Pepsi they have the real sugar soda. She brought drinks fast then disappeared for a while. Finally came back to take our order. Asked about the kid menu and she said it has the regular kid stuff on it but they can make anything.. ok cool got the kids cheeseburger comes with fries, husband ordered and she asked of he wanted chips or fries, he choose chips, (no explanation on what kind of chips, we thought chips in a bag like Lays) I ordered and asked for the fries bc I didn't want baged chips. Said this and she didn't correct me and say they were homemade. She left to put in our order. We saw other food come out with homemade chips.. well if we had been told they make their own chips we would have gotten those. Food comes out and the fries were put in cold oil and soaked up so much oil they were nasty and limp. We said you know if you have told us that they were homemade chips we would have gotten those the fries were nasty can we change it out. (We had to go find our server bc she never came back after our food was dropped off). She came back we with a small portion and said here we are making more. Well the lot she came back with were nasty as well. (2nd round of chips bc the 1st round was a very small portion) not sure if something is up with the oil but it's like they were half cooked and cold. If they just cooked them I expected them to be warm. My husband loved both beers he tried and his chicken sandwich was also good. The Philly was ok as well but the steak pieces were too big. And it's like it was ready before everything else bc the bread was soooo wet by the time I got it the stuff was falling out the bottom bc it was soaked with the juices...the beer cheese and Cajun ranch was good as well. When we asked for the check the server gave us the terminal and stood there waiting for it back. Wasn't to be found the entire meal and now hovering us to get paid and tipped. It was a very slow night so we were hoping for better service. We may try again but it...
