Eagle Park Brewing & Distilling Company — Restaurant in Muskego

First let's talk about what I didn't care for: atmosphere, ordering, volume. The atmosphere is very cold and industrial. No warmth at all. One giant room with very high ceilings and nothing to absorb sound. There is no wait staff. You must have a QR code reader to view the menu and place orders - which must be done with a card. Because we plan dinners with a group we carry cash. It was only on the way out I saw a teeny, tiny sign that said you could order at the counter (but still don't know if they take cash). In addition, you must get your own water, soda refills, napkins, utensils, and to-go boxes. I don't know about you, but if I have to do all this myself, I may as well cook at home. You might like that. We don't. The volume is obnoxious. We didn't click ALL the links on the website so we were unaware that Monday is trivia night. We've had this happen before, and that's on us, but the volume of the microphone for the quizmaster was so over the top you couldn't hear the person sitting next to you to have a conversation.

Okay - I've said my peace on those items. While normally they would be enough to warrant only one star, I'm giving them three because the food is quite good. I had the ABC Chicken sandwich that comes with their beer batter fries. Tender, juicy chicken, good flavor on the entire sandwich and the fries have great flavor. I also dipped them in BBQ sauce which them all the better. Within our group there were burgers, salad, and a turkey selection ordered. All enjoyed their choices very much. The drinks that were ordered were tasty, and one person ordered the beer flight and said all three choices she made were delicious.

Though they don't have wait staff, they do have runners who bring your food and drinks to you. Each of these individuals was friendly and helpful, no attitudes when someone asked for napkins. Just let us know how it worked with the self-service, but still walked over and got us some to start.

Unles you like trivia nights, I don't recommend going on Mondays. And if you don't have issues with the type of atmosphere or their process, then I would recommend giving them a try for the food. ...

Delicious & creative beer. I got The Godfather Hazy IPA and it was fantastic- lovely citrus notes at the front and finished bold yet clean. They also distill their own liquor which means they have a good selection of craft cocktails.

The food is solid. Definitely get food here. Most recently I got the smoked pulled pork. It was wonderful. Fries are seasoned and the house made Parmesan peppercorn is awesome. We also got cheese curds which were bomb! A perfect beer batter which was crunchy but not too thick. My 6yo daughter ate nearly the whole kid’s cheeseburger- major win in my book (though the 3yo didn’t like that the fries were seasoned, she said they were too “spicy” no, no they are not). My 1yo babe loved the fries and the pork from my sandwich and yelled at me for more.

I can’t decide if I like how the ordering is set up: you scan a QR code which takes you to a site where you can order and add to your tab. I like it because when you’re ready to order, you just order without having to wait for the server. If you have a question about a menu item, it’s tough to flag someone down because there aren’t formal “servers.” And if you have a larger table it can take awhile to all decide and either pass around the phone or it’s kind of a cluster to get your food all at the same time if you’re putting in orders on separate tabs. Anyway, it works fine and is more convenient than not.

And hey, before you leave be sure to take a 12, 6, or 4 pack home of your favorite brew! They also offer half pours and beer flights- fun!

Will definitely be back sooner...

Heard a lot about this place so I thought we’d give it a try for some drinks and dinner. An extremely underwhelming and frustrating experience. First off, we weren’t greeted, but confronted, upon arrival to put our masks on. We understand, we get it, but not the best way to start our first visit here. Since there was no room downstairs, we had to seat ourselves upstairs. So everyone reading this is aware, there are no servers in the traditional sense of the term. At our table is a QR code and table number. The code takes you to an ordering site and menu. Well, it only worked for myself and we had to pass my phone around the table. I caught the attention of a staff member walking by asking “is there a way we can order from a human being?” His curt retort was to go downstairs and order at the bar. Sorry, didn’t want to have to go up and down a flight of stairs every time we wanted to get another drink. Finally, after about 20 minutes of fumbling through the ordering system we placed our drink orders. It took another 20 minutes to actually get our drinks delivered. The reviews from my wife and friend for the two brewed drinks were “good, but nothing spectacular.” The cocktails for myself and friend were weak and virtually flavorless. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a more of an antiseptic and lifeless experience at a brewery/distillery/bar/restaurant in my life. We left immediately following 3 of us finishing our drinks and went someplace else where we knew we’d be treated better, the drinks were flavorful, the food was good, and we could actually speak to...
