My family really enjoys visiting this spot in Washington, PA. We are often meeting up with half of us coming from Pittsburgh and the other half coming from Morgantown, WV, so it’s a very convenient midway point. You can tell this is a popular neighborhood brewpub! On weekends it fills up. My go-tos are usually a wood fired pizza (their specialty) and a flight of beers, pictured from a previous visit. But on this particular visit, we were celebrating my brother’s birthday and ordered a number of different items. We started with some beers, of course, which are always on point here and rotate seasonally. I’ve never had a disappointment. I am currently taking it easy on alcohol due to a medical condition and was thrilled that their sister B&B Distillery allows them to offer cocktails and mocktails. I had a blackberry lemon spritzer that was absolutely delicious! The Giant pretzel was one of the best I’ve had, and I do tend to order this item at almost every brewpub as I think it’s a real measure of a place. This one is soft and absolutely delicious, and the beer cheese and mustard are next level. We loved the beer cheese so much that we also ordered the nachos that included it, ordering shredded pork on the side for the rest of the family as I’m a vegetarian. For entrees, we tried lots of different things ranging from sandwiches, like a Shrimp Po Boy, to Shaved Ribeye Tacos, to burgers, to their menu headlining Mac and cheese which is interestingly made with long noodles and housemade cheese sauce. You can add on a number of different items to this such as roasted vegetables which is what I chose. Everything we had was really delicious. The only slight hiccup was that one person was served cold french fries; they weren’t going to complain but someone else spoke up on their behalf and our server quickly offered that a brand new batch just came out and brought new ones. Service was attentive and very kind. I felt bad for the servers on this particular evening as it was pretty clear they were dealing with less staff than probably should have been on, I suspect one or two people called off. It was a busy weekend evening and only two or three servers were handling everyone, so sometimes we had to wait a little while for what we needed, but that was no fault of how hard our server was trying. We also had brought a small birthday cake of our own and our server was happy to bring extra plates and silverware and I didn’t see any fee assessed for this, which many restaurants do. Lenny the brewmaster heard we were celebrating a birthday and insisted on giving us a behind-the-scenes tour of the brewing facilities which was so kind!

I used to really enjoy this place, however the service has turned for the worst. The food is over priced and often comes out wrong, and the staff is huge for the amount of attention they give you. The food is good, but it's not worth the price often. I hope they turn it around.. I won't be back. They didn't acknowledge my party after passing us 12 times, I eventually went and got my own menu. When we did order they made a mistake and served us the wrong item, we tried to eat it but they forgot the sauce too.. at this point it was cold and we told them we won't be eating it but don't need anything remade. They still charged us for it! Needless to say they shot themselves in the toe and the tip had to sacrifice for their inability to stay working (on phones all the time), and inability to comprehend their mistake... I will do my best to tell everyone I know to use other restaurants and breweries in the area as this place is an obvious worst. I'm fired up yes, but I promise you would be too... tragic goodbye to somewhere I liked a lot

We stopped here on a Saturday evening in January. We purchased a whiskey trail pass online and this was one of the locations listed - it was actually B&B Distillery specifically but we were able to redeem the pass in the brewery with the help of a gentleman named Lenny. We sat at the bar and had a mocktail, a spirit tasting flight and a pizza. The mocktail was very good. The spirits were good. The pizza was ok. The bartender was friendly as was Lenny. There weren’t too many other customers but it was a rainy/snowy sloppy day. We had a good experience. There was one customer who was getting loud with a server and being quite rude to her and I don’t know what the problem was but it seemed unnecessary and I hope that man was embarrassed for acting that way towards that young woman. I’m not letting that affect my review - we had a good experience otherwise.

It's such a fun atmosphere. The flight of whiskey was delicious and we had buffalo chicken dip to start. It was delish but the chips were the bottom of a bag and most were the size of a postage stamp. We were offered bigger chips but, we should've been brought those in the first place. I had the shaved ribeye tacos and they were really good. The fries were seasoned well. My husband got the red pepper pasta. It was all the same texture. He didn't get meat because we were told it was good without it. It needed something to give a different texture but the flavor was there, and it was good. I would go back and it's get the same thing. My husband said he'd get the Po boy. We'll be back. Service was great and everything was very fast.

I don’t know if we just came at the wrong time. We came around 6pm on a Saturday. They seemed to be out of a lot of stuff. The beer was ok. We had a passionfruit IPA that tasted really watery. The deep fried buffalo chicken dip was great. The meal was ok. I got the bacon avocado burger. The bacon tasted more like grease than bacon. I had like no avocado on my burger, but when I asked my server she got me more. Our server Hailey was very nice though. It was about $60 for two of us, two burgers, an appetizer and 3 beers. Not worth it for me. Probably won’t return, wish they had a sour or cider on tap. The signage was cute and the high top seats were comfy though.

Found this spot online, and it was highly recommended by friends. Drove 30 minutes to go, and it did not disappoint! Got the cheesesteak and a chicken wrap. Both had beer cheese on them that was PHENOMENAL! My wife said it was the best cheesesteak she's had and she's a cheesesteak snob. The pino grigio was delicious. We really enjoyed the beer flight and the flight from Burgess & Burgess Distillery. We will definitely be back. We plan on coming back when it's warmer with our dogs as well.
