If you're ever in Edina and looking for a chill spot that's a bit off the beaten path, you've got to check out Wooden Hill Brewing.

Once was enough for us. My wife and I stopped in for beer and a quick dinner. One of the beers was quite good and the other disappointing. Ordering at the counter and carrying on any kind of conversation at our table was difficult because of the echoes of the other patrons' conversations. The bare concrete floors, bare ceiling and open layout create a perfect echo chamber. The ordering process includes going up to their counter and carrying your beer to a table or booth and then returning to the front counter to get your food, utensils, napkins (drink napkins, not meal napkins) and condiments. When you pay, you are prompted to select a 15%, 20%, 25%, other or no tip with the person at the register staring you down. Asking for gratuities without delivering any service is ridiculous in my opinion. The menu is extremely limited, but the items we ordered tasted good. No one checked to see if we were satisfied. If you want a second beverage, it is up to you to go get it. $33 for 2 beers, a brat and a small flatbread with no service in a place that was too loud for conversation failed to meet our...

My first impression of this establishment was a very positive one. I like the fact they have board games and people were actually playing them. I like the fact that they had a wall full of chilled take home cans. I like the open atmosphere and how nice and helpful the staff were. Next time, and oh yes there will be a next time, I plan on sampling a burger and also getting a flight sampler so I can start my journey on the path of sampling every one of their brews before deciding on a favorite. I did not get a chance to peek out the back door in their open air area but I saw lots of people coming in and going out and it looked like they're enjoying themselves so it must be good out there. They would have earned five stars instead of four for the simple fact that I had forgotten to close my tab and I had to stand in line behind 15 people in order to do that. I wish there was a quicker way to be able to just step up to a cashier and ask them to close the tab or maybe have an online option that I can close my tab myself....
