I have been frequenting Grayton beach for over a decade. While the area is chalked full of outstanding eateries and attractions, the Grayton Brewpub is head and shoulders above the rest. The Brewpub hosts a diverse and well crafted selection of beers that will fit any palate. In addition to the expertly crafted beers, the Brewpub menu and daily specials equally rise to the occasion without a glimmer of disappointment. I cannot give higher praise to the libations and cuisine; however, what I can praise above the aforementioned is the resident bartender Kyle. Without question Kyle is the finest bartender I've ever had the pleasure of patronizing. His skill behind the bar is unparalleled and his passion shines through in every detail of the production. His knowledge of craft cocktails, sourced ingredients, and exquisite touch is like nothing I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. He brings new meaning to the term "old school" while applying modern flare and contemporary technique to his craft. His cheerful nature is nothing short of contagious. By the time you leave you'll be sharing the same smile with which he greets you time and again. From his cherry wood and rosemary smoked cosmopolitan to his artistically crafted old fashioned and sazeracs, you're certain to walk out statisfied, entertained, and swerving with swagger. Kyle is the shining jewel in the crown of this 30A hidden gem. If you are coming to Grayton it is an absolute must that you treat yourself to an evening at the pub and a cocktail from Kyle. I hope someday I can be as good at my craft as Kyle is at his. A truly remarkable and an unforgettable experience. Thank you Grayton Brewpub and...
Read moreGreat food - poor management - check your bill!
This was our third time here in two months. First time was stellar. Second time waited 25 minutes and our server never came - the manager took our order and brought the food - we met our waitress when she brought the bill! Ha - really? But, we are forgiving folks and gave the manager and hostess large tips since they were so helpful (and even the waitress a small tip).
This time - the food was fabulous as usual, but I just can’t support a business that tries to take advantage of customers. I guess I understand raising prices a bit during tourist season, so the few extra dollars for food was acceptable. But, we were charged twice the published price for our crowlers. First they said we had an “old” menu - but, they even charged above the price on the new menu. The manager tried to convince us this was still a good deal. Sort of beside the point. He also made us feel like he was doing us a favor by giving us the price on our original menu. I know the manager is generally a nice guy and hard worker. But, not our fault. The “new pricing system” at twice the price last month seems a bit fishy to me.
We are all so sad to lose a new favorite - and that beer we took home is all sorts of leaving us with a bad taste in our mouths. Sad...
Read moreMaybe our expectations were too high but this was incredibly disappointing. I chose this cause I used to be a bit of a beer snob and honestly the beer was fine but nothing incredible. Our server was by far the worst part. She seemed completely not interested in being at work and I don’t think I saw her smile once. Wife had the grouper Sammy which was OK. She said it was a bit salty but the serving seemed nice. We both agreed the French fries were amazing. I had the shrimp dinner and the serving was a nice size and the shrimp was good. The menu stated we got two sides with the meal but when our tab came there was a $2.00 charge for the BBQ fries. What the heck??? This was no where on the menu. I wouldn’t have been so irritated if our tab was $76 for a meal we weren’t that impressed with. To top it off to pay the server holds the card device and my wife had to enter the tip right there in front of the server. The tips options were 20% up to 30%. Again what the heck. It would have been super obvious to enter a custom amount into the device and would have been incredibly awkward. The vibe is definitely more of a sports bar. Unfortunately this wasn’t the vibe we were looking for and won’t be back. If you do go, GET THE FRIES, just be prepared for a random $2.00 charge they don’t...
