HopSaint Brewing Company — Restaurant in Torrance

Beer was very good, however was a little disappointed about the food and service, firstly the food, I orded the brisket, which was presented to me with just what they call torn potatoes and slices of brisket and that's it. On the menu it also just says brisket and that's it. The meal seems incomplete! No other vegetables. No gravy for the brisket and it was dry!.. I don't see how they can call this a meal. Also me and my friend just wanted to sit down and have a beer first before deciding to eat, we were escorted to a table and the waitress firstly gave us a menu, and then almost immediately wanted us to put in our drink order, then gave us the special list verbally, that not on the menu and then wanted to take our order! . I felt like we were being rushed before we had chance to settle in to our seats. Anyway we order the beer ( in which I will give her credit for the knowledge of the beer menu) then we let her know that we weren't ready to eat yet. In about another 10 minutes or so later she was back again asking if we wanted to order dinner. With a quick glance at the menu, I at the time was the only one ready to be ordering but my friend told her that he wanted to finish up his beer first and then we would decide. To my surprise another 10 minutes or so later she's back again trying to take our order. Once again we had to tell her we're not ready. It's great to have good service however with my friend to tell her we wanted to enjoy a beer twice, having to being in the service business myself years ago You observe the customer as to when they look at the menu, then when they both put it down, that's usually a sign that they're ready. I think the waitress should be more observant, just my opinion. Anyway the main reason of 3 stars was the presentation of the food. Otherwise all good. And one more thing to add, I ordered a glass of water which was served in a very small glass. I wish I took a picture of it, is the smallest glass of water I've ever been served in...

We had to make a quick stop at the local 99 cent store. Hungry and wanted to eat a meal, HopSaint was right next door. After a quick review online, we decided to have dinner at this restaurant. We were greeted when we arrived, and seated quickly. The ambiance was great and the restaurant was decorated and somewhat reminded us of a bowling alley. Our waiter and host was friendly, efficient and overall pleasant to interact with. We decided to try the andouille sausage as an appetizer, the braised short rib, brisket and the signature Burger. We were kind of surprised that the menu was more of a creole BBQ mix up with flatbreads. Their house made lemonade was simply delicious and fresh. We tried the flight sample of four of their beers and the Brown on Brown was the best. The burger was fresh and made to perfection, simply one of the best burgers we ever had. The brisket was smoked and was overall good but could have been more flavor profile there. The braised short rib was the best out of all three that we tried as it was tender, smoked and the grits with cheese was a great addition. Their signature dessert, brownie with marshmallow topping was great, and gooey. A great first time experience. Will definitely be repeat customers as they have other items on the menu that also interests us like the killer shrimp and duck and mushroom gumbo. It is a must try if you're in the area. Prices were on point and inexpensive on many levels and overall a great date...

I was turned away because my service dog was attempting to alert my husband of my condition. I am a type 1 Diabetic and have a service dog who is trained to retrieve/alert my husband of a low sugar episode when I am at a certain blood glucose level.

As we pulled up to the restaurant I was unaware that my blood glucose was dropping. As this was happening my husband went to speak with a worker to see if we could eat at an outside table. As he was speaking to this woman my pup kept attempting to leave my side to retrieve my husband (by making a noise to get his attention/attempting to get him) as he is trained to do when my blood glucose reaches a certain level since I can be unaware of my blood sugar levels at times and am prone to seizures.

Instead of this woman asking what he was trained to do and inquiring about whether or not his behavior was related to him being a service dog she said we could not eat here because of he was "jumpy."

She then went out of her way to bring up his breed and then explained that a person had been bitten at her restaurant in the past so she wasn't going to risk it.

Safe to say, I was heavily disappointed. You cannot turn away a service dog because of something that did not involve them. You cannot turn away a service dog because of their breed. Most importantly you cannot turn them away for acting as they were trained.

It's...
