Defiant Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Town of Orangetown

This is a great brewery only a stones throw from NYC. There are always a ton of beers on tap, most if not all being actual Defiant brews. Just visited for the second time this past weekend. Cash only, with an ATM onsite...recommend one person from your group takes money out and the rest venmo that person - incur as few fees as possible!

The outdoor space is a really nice touch. It may overlook train tracks, but the picnic tables allow you to get some fresh air while trying all of the beers. The service is prompt and friendly.

This last time we visited, it was with a much larger group - we sat inside because of the chill in the air. They offer games for a refundable $5 deposit which can make your time here extra fun. We played Uno with our group of 11. We ordered a Monster plate - you have GOT TO TRY their BBQ. The wings are out of this world good. The brisket is always tender and the perfect amount of fatty. The Ribs are a close second for me behind the wings - they're so big and meaty and perfectly smoked. The pulled pork has been a bit dry each time we've been, but they're awesome hot bbq sauce helps with that. Their corn bread is tasty, and their mac and cheese is CRAZY good. We also successfully rang up a $550 bill by the end of the night...but we spent a good 6 hours there. We went halloween weekend, and they played Young Frankenstein and Rocky House of Horrors, how can you leave when they're playing the classics and serving decent beers? We watched as the contestants to their halloween costume party arrived and mingled, which was sometimes hilarious and sometimes horrifying - nice halloween combination. They offer $1000 to the best costume - I think we all mentally noted that we need to be back with our A-game next year.

Beers were decent. Nothing that blew my mind, but nothing that was not up to par. I enjoyed their lighter Hefe most and their pumpkin ale was my runner up.

We always have a great time talking, laughing and throwing some back here. It shares a parking lot with Metro North...but driving is easy and the route is beautiful from NYC. Highly highly recommend coming here, over ordering food and spending quality time with amazing people. It gets...

After coming to this establishment 3 times, on all 3 occasions the staff informed us that they were out of their bacon, which is what their kitchen is known for. The most recent time we went we called prior to coming to make sure bacon was available. When we ordered the waiter never said they were out of bacon, till he spoke with their one cook who seemed too bothered to make the bacon, rather than they were out of it. On this most recent occasion we even arrived at Defiant at 12:50pm on a Sunday, when they opened at 12:00pm with only 10 other patrons in the building. Our waiter on our second time coming here suggested calling ahead to make sure the bacon would be available and being that we had the same waiter again this third time he didn’t seem to care at all of the suggestion he previously gave us not being true. The quality of food is great, the customer service however is lacking drastically, and the amount of cooking should be raised on weekends rather than turning customers away. Would not recommend coming to this establishment except on off days where they don’t have more than 5 other patrons in...

Really cool atmosphere and pretty good beer. I found a lot of their beer flavors (especially the fruity ones) really lacking in punch. It seemed like the same flavors just recycled. In fact, my friends accidentally switched their blueberry and raspberry beers and didn't even notice - that's how similar they were. I would love to see more intensity in the flavors. The fruit ale had such a subtle fruit flavor you could easily miss it. I love their Medusa IPA though! So good. Pricing on the beer is pretty standard when compared to other breweries. The BBQ is really great, big portions, but fairly expensive. The tacos are probably the best value on the menu and they are delicious! The cornbread here is some of the best I've ever had. Service is also friendly and fast. I took off a star for the just OK beer and for the fact that they are CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM, but it's a little ridiculous not to take card in this day and age. If we were getting premium pricing, I might understand, but the beer pricing is comparable to other breweries and the food is on the pricey side. Overall,...
