High Desert Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Las Cruces

Clean & welcoming establishment serving tasty fare & brews.

We were passing through Las Cruces and after viewing their online menu we opted to stop here for dinner on our way through. Being vegan, I was grateful to find options that did not consist solely of 'garden salad', but it’s lovely that this is still an option. We ordered and enjoyed the Fried Veggie Basket as an appetizer and Veggie Burgers w/ Fries for our meals. Both were delicious and filling, we had plenty of leftovers for a snack the next day. There are a few other vegetarian & vegan options that should suit most; you will not leave hungry. Be sure and ask about their delicious condiments & sauces! I enjoyed the porter while my husband had the root beer - be careful with the root beer, it's almost too amazing! ;) Both were fabulous, something they are rightly proud to serve.

Contributing to the atmosphere was the music being played on the stereo. While I was unfamiliar with it, I enjoyed it enough to purchase some of the artists' songs a few days later. (Oliver Tree, Beta, Orbital, Iration) Our server, also the DJ of the evening, was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. He was happy to make suggestions and swift to meet our needs and then some.

We look forward to stopping here again next time we find ourselves in the area.

Pros: Open on Saturday evening (unlike most other establishments in the area that serve food) Fantastic service Vegetarian/vegan options Excellent quality & selection of local brews Clean &...

The rudest server I've ever encountered. Upon our arrival, he stated "I've already PO'ed 4 customers today." We had brought a small cake for our son's birthday and are certainly not tacky enough to eat it there...it was a gift. I told him, he wouldn't piss me off and I asked if it was OK to leave the small cake there until my son got there and could put it in his car. Still, a major attitude. We should have left at that point, but my son requested to eat there. We ordered ice tea and had to get our own Splenda from inside, despite asking him twice. When our food arrived and the fries were ice cold, he took my son's plate and microwaved it and totally ignored the fact the other 3 of us had cold food. It was inedible. After we asked for fresh fries, with MORE attitude he said he would tell his manager. The manager, who I can only assume was his Mommy for tolerating his very bad behavior, said there was NO WAY we had been served cold food. What? 4 people are just wanting to have a birthday lunch and we decide to LIE about cold food? She offered to take the fries off our bill. I declined. I wanted to impress upon this "manager" we didn't want anything from them we didn't pay for. She seemed so combative and not thinking 'hey, maybe a basket of fresh fries would be great' for a table of FOUR people who got cold food...Such a very unpleasant experience. I can get treated like crap for free, I certainly won't pay for it! We have eaten there before with zero problems. We will not eat...

I have been coming to this place for over 10 years to this day. It is in my opinion, high desert brewery is the absolute best microbrewery in the state, maybe even the world! Food is great with variety to chose to choose from, and priced fairly. Beer varieties are usually kept to decent sized batches being brewed at a time, whiches gives you a decent amount of options. Not as many as I thought there would be. However each style that's brewed has not disappointed me' and each style has its own distinctn1ess in taste aroma, body, sweet, and lovely bitterness! Trust me you wont be disappointed either. Staff is friendly, easy on the eyes and very professional. The inside was clean, and beer was plentiful!Outdoor dining may already be allowed. As it seems to be, everytime I go to pick up my usual growlers to take home, which are priced very well in my opinion usually starting at around $11-$12 and on upwards, pints usually uunder $5. Dog friendly environment. Overall, Great...
