Hermosa Brewing Company — Restaurant in Hermosa Beach

If you haven't stopped in the Hermosa Brewing Company lately you are missing out. Now let's be clear I'm not a drinker so couldn't tell you about the beer. But people around me all loved it. I asked. The out the names of what the have on Tap up on the board. I decided to go with a big fat burger!! First off it was HUGE and the shine on that brioche bun was amazing. I got a daily special medium rare, caramelized onions and the were browned to perfection and it brought out the slight sweet of the onion. It came with a healthy dose of melting Brie and some spring type mix lettuce. Juicy tasty and I wasn't sure how I'd wrap my mouth around it and thankfully it came with a BIG knife. I chose the sweet potato Fries. Delicious I could only eat half the burger so you know I have a date wirh that other half tonight.. Please people, I'm single allow me my silly moments. Kara was my server and she was fabulous and helped me decide described everything on the special menu and was super sweet. I also met the manager and he had a voice better than the burger. Hello people remember #singlegirlproblems Anyway I'd go back for more of all of it ASAP. If you're sporty they have games on the big screen and if you hate fighting to park they had spots in the parking lot in back. You will need some coins or a card I believe for those and there is a parking structure nearby if necessary and street parking. The place is smaller and casual and cozy. Tell them Meeks sent you. Go and enjoy. You know you're hungry and its fresh and delicious. Posting a pic zoom into that goodness.... You're going to thank me later....

Let me start off by saying I have a very high spice tolerance so please be aware with reading my review. When it comes to wings and places claiming to have "ghost pepper " flavor many places fall short on spice. This may be the first place to fill my taste buds with joy . The twice fried wings had a nice feathery skin and was decently coated with the most delicious, flavorful ghost pepper bbq sauce I have ever tasted. I am no stranger to spice since I love Carolina reapers and scorpion peppers so I set the bar high when it comes to my spice tolerance. The chef here did not disappoint 👏 . I am at a loss for words when it comes to truly describing how delicious my wings were. I actually had to ask for an extra side of sauce because I just couldn't get enough of it. I was truly un prepared when we randomly walked in and failed to shoot content for my blog haha. I will definitely return to get Instagram worthy photos and update my review soon. For the time being I will like to add the giant pretzel was delicious as well as their tacos. Although for my personal taste in drinks I didn't have much options since at that time a drink I wanted was not in stock I did sample the frosè which was also delicious. I definitely can't wait to return 10/10 recommend this place to anyone who like myself is looking for great flavorful...

Wow, what a delightful experience. I would have never thought I'd experience such amazing dishes from a brewery.Chef Aaron has really elevated the menu. I would steer clear of the traditional menu and focus mostly on the creatively designed and expertly executed feature items on the chalkboard. - the ingredients, execution and visually appealing presentation take the dining experience to the next level.

While I understand that this is a beach town and things are really casual, I would say that with a chef of this caliber, it would likely benefit from elevating its service. They were pleasant, prompt, professional and properly groomed, which is a great standard. However, the "special" menu needs to be highlighted and accentuated because those are the best items on the menu.

Additionally, there didn't seem to be any leadership in the FOH, which is where things fall in through the cracks. Double and triple seating, refills, properly greeting new guests are all area that a FOH mgr could assist with in peak times. While this seems to be a Hermosa Beach favorite, I hope they solidify the FOH leadership and grow to appreciate who they have in Chef Aaron because he can easily be in a Michelin star setting.

I'm so glad I didn't see chicken fingers and typical bar food on the menu! I'm looking forward to the...
