I am not going to speak super negatively about this place because I didn't have a negative experience, just an overall "meh" experience. To start, having to wait in line at the bar to order drinks and food should probably be fixed. If you walk in at the same time as four other groups, like my wife and I did, then you are going to wait 20-30 minutes in line just to order and then to choose what table you are going to sit at. Having only one bartender ringing up orders definitely had an impact on that. Then having to wait 45 minutes for the food to come out was disappointing. To be fair, when we ordered we were told the kitchen was slammed so it might take a while longer than usually. But when I looked around there were maybe 30 people in the place. Not sure how it can get behind with that few of people. Lastly the food and drinks were just so-so. Meals were good enough, but lacked real flavor. Drinks were the same way. Good enough, but fell flat. It was my first time visiting, so maybe I was there on an off night, and I will probably try it again. But not in the near future.

Love the outdoor seating where you can sit and watch the train go by at Carillon Park. Several beers on the menu as well as some sodas made in house. There is a food menu and we opted for a quick snack of a pretzel which was nice. Loved being able to stop here after our visit to Carillon Park

Great place to grab a bite and a beer. The menu isn't large but it is high quality. Beers are made on site and are tasty. Decor is authentic and they brew beer like they did in 1860. Basically a throwback to frontier life. Staff was really nice and very efficient. Try this place. You'll be happy you did.

Unlike any other brewery I've been to. Employees are dressed like the 19th century. It's part of the historical park. Beautiful lawn and peaceful area. No TV's because here were none in the 1800's. Very close proximity to the University of Dayton. Food is good as well as the beer. Plenty of free parking. I'm not from the area but always look forward to coming here.

We've been here nearly an hour waiting for over-priced food when there were hardly any people. Still no food. At least the weather is nice.Also to note, you must pay at the time of ordering, so there is not option to get any sort of compensation for the wait time.

I visited Carillon Brewing this weekend and really enjoyed it! To begin with, the building is gorgeous! It feels like stepping back in time into an old beautiful brewery complete with the smell of a wood burning fire for baking fresh bread. I tried the Porter for my brew. It was pretty good. Was it the most complex Porter I've ever had? No, but it was definitely pretty good. I'd probably stick with the IPA next time. We also noticed that there were fresh sourdough loaves coming out of the oven and decided that we had to have some. This was a very dense, delicious loaf of bread that we just tore apart at the bar. If you'd like, they are happy to cut it for you and bring butter. Overall, I would definitely recommend Carillon Brewery and I'm looking forward to returning in the future.

Carillon Brewery is a neat historical brewery, and is a Dayton favorite, and we like the historical ambience.Lots of free parking.Take care to review menu prior to your visit; in the past menu was more extensive than the limited fare today. Recommend wurst platter - Reuben, not so much...Private party room for larger group; often, my group of friends will assemble in the loft for food and fellowship.Goto counter to place order, and meal will be delivered. Tip: order condiments because wait staff is untrained in this function. Goto counter for drink refills.The tariff is appropriate for the fare.

Hungry after visiting Carillon Park, we realized this is right next door- literally attached. New building made to look like one from the 1800s. Super friendly and efficient staff. Decent beer selection, small menu: burgers, sausage, fries basically. I got a flight of the Berliner, ginger pale ale, rye pale ale, and porter. The Berliner was my favorite: fruity, tart, refreshing on a hot day. Also liked the Porter, pretty standard, smooth with a bit of coffee. The ginger was good, and I always like rye- a nice version if you like that bite. Baby K got the fries, potato wedges with beer cheese, bacon, and chives. Good not great, loaded with cheese and bacon. I had a special, schnitzel with masked potatoes and veggies. Again, good not great. Slightly dry schnitzel, decent mashed, overcooked mixed veggies.But now, the stars. Fresh bread- we got cinnamon sugar, and wow, big loaf, hot, nicely swirled with cinnamon. Yum. The promised hand-churned butter was just standard little pats, but still a nice combo. And: they make their own pop. I am a root beer fiend and they make sarsaparilla, over a wood fire, with cinnamon, ginger, molasses, etc. Super good.Definitely would stop back for drinks and bread. Nice venue, good service. Decent prices.

This restaurant has very serious issues!!! They need new management BAD!!! We waited 45 minutes before we asked how much longer, and was told it would be awhile longer!!! We didn't even get our pretzels yet!! Unfortunately you pay when you order, so forget about complaining. We ended up leaving without eating because we had plans to walk around the park before it closed. UNACCEPTABLE!!!! We ended up spending $85 for food we didn't get to eat!!! Also, half the food they advertise on here does not exist!! FALSE ADVERTISING!!!!GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!
