Hoodletown Brewing Co — Restaurant in Dover

Amazing service, wonderful food, and a great stout! Visited on a Thursday night to a PACKED house and parking lot. PUB TRIVIA night! Ken ran a great show normal pub trivia with a twist bonus question. The staff.... amazing! This place was 2 floors of tables bursting with people and drinks and food. Fanny was wonderful helpful and did an amazing job of setting us up for success and all our food being ready at the same time... our table of 11 with 4 different parties. The wait staff definitely knows how to work with the kitchen! We had other servers swing by to help... I am sorry I did not catch your names in the chaos, but you were all so helpful and friendly. Note: when the house is packed and servers are very very busy and there are few food runners.... you may be asked to help retrieve your food, we did not have a problem with this! This is a pub and brewery... not Michelin fine dining. But someone might want to tell the kitchen that... some of the food I saw come across our table was elevated well over typical bar food. But you can also get exactly what you would expect from bar food. Burgers... elevated of course... juicy chicken tenders fries and the like. But check out the menu!!! Everything looked and smelled so good. Everyone was happy with their selections at our table. I have onlybtried a couple menu items myself as I am not from around here. Highly recommended by all my friends from surrounding areas. Great selection of brews! I am a fan of stouts and this one was just a good down to earth smooth stout. The scene is rustic and minimalist, which is a vibe I love. I will definitely be going again. On toothed photos! Note I went back Saturday during early lunch to capture...

Here's the skinny showed up on a Saturday early evening and we're seated right away. Then waited 30 mins to then have to flag the manager(possible owner) down and say hey we haven't seen anyone to our table to take even a drink order. He took our drink order and did give me a free beer (it's why I gave 2 stars instead of one) Tried the Cherry Wheat and tasted good but felt like it was too carbonated. (I have worked at 3 breweries in the past and know beer pretty well) Now the food me and wife ordered burgers with tasted like frozen Bubba brand burgers, the bacon jam was good but could be from a jar and honestly the best thing we had was the fries which were the normal fries you get anywhere. Also what kind of resturant has there (possibly) tipsy patrons go retrieve their food (mind we were up a set of stairs), screams liability. Also one of the staff (our waiter) shit talked a beer as too foamy, which as an owner I would have put him out of a job right then as you bring concerns to management not to the customer. Overall probably will never come back as me and the wife have been spoiled by other breweries in the surround area with both better food and better and more...

Brewery food is nearly always awesome. The food here was absolutely delicious! My rating is based on service and menu. The food menu had build a burger or chicken sandwich, a handful of flatbreads, and a handful of appetizers. Slim pickings to say the least. Our waiter was not on it at all. I asked for napkins and silverware to start, and we ate our appetizer without any and we had none when we were served our main meal. We had to ask for drink refills as well. This is a newly opened establishment so it has room for improvement and definitely can be a five star with some improvements. If your in the area already, it's not a bad place to stop, as long as your not looking for an extensive menu. We drove a couple of hours to get here, so it's not high on our priority...
