Peticolas Brewing Company

"This place is an institution. One of my favorite stories to tell people is that the first day my wife and I moved to Dallas from California, a rep from Peticolas let me try some velvet hammer for free and take it home... and this was in the before times when you could only get beer home in a growler!So for someone just out of college and just getting their start in a hot hot apartment, having a growler of velvet hammer and no furniture but making it work is a very special special memory to me. I go out of my way to get their beer whenever I can, especially at Torchys!I've run their 5K twice, and it's a super fun event with an excellent vibe and excellent swag.I had the honor of meeting the founder at an event at Alamo Drafthouse, and getting to tell him my story and he seems like a totally great dude!If you haven't gotten to come here and watch a soccer game yet, add that to your Dallas bucket list!"

"This was my first visit and I lived the vibe and ambiance of this restaurant. They hit on all cylinders with an outside happening area with a soundstage for live music, a fireplace to sit around and an area for kids to be kids. The inside has a great feel too. 5 star all the way to whoever designed this place!Our service was OK, but our server had an 8 top in her section and I believe our table suffered a little neglect because of it. For example the kitchen runner set our food down and left and the next time we saw her was 10 mins before we saw our server. I needed malt vinegar for my fish and chips, and by the time I got it my food was no longer hot. Our drinks went dry as wel, which should never happen in my opinion. Food wise I ordered the wrong thing. I got fish and chips and they were pretty average. Also at our table was ordered salmon and a burger. I had a taste of those and will say I lost the menu lottery tonight. The fish and chips were not even in the same league as the salmon and the burger. If this were my restaurant I would step them up, or take them off the menu.Overall just an ok experience. I would come back, but you couldn't pay me to eat the fish and chips again."

Siren Rock Brewing

"Great beer with multiple selections that aren't just IPAs. Same for food. Cool setting. Disappointed that there were zero tshirt men's options. Would have liked to have treated myself and rep a new top 10 brewery."

Westlake Brewing Company

"Had a really good visit here on a Saturday afternoon. The beers were great but the best part was talking to the staff. We had a non beer drinker with us and they provided really personal suggestions and have samples to make sure they had a good experience. We also helped taste test a new drink they were working on.A typical brewery experience with snacks and you can bring your own food but the team makes the difference."

The Brass Tap

"I briefly met the owner earlier this year, and in addition to being a nice guy, he seemed very passionate about his business. So when I noticed them on Door Dash I gladly ordered lunch as this is the type of person and business I want to support. The first time, I tried the Angus sliders off the appetizer menu since I wasn't too hungry and it was plenty for $9.99. The patties were very thick so they were filling for the size. They come with cheese, red onion and a bbq sauce. I got it without onion and the sauce on the side. The burger was well seasoned, the slider buns were buttery and crispy on the edges and were also thicker than your average slider bun (very smart choice) and the sauce was tasty and complimented it well. It was a really good first impression. I think I saw this on the Yelp delivery menu more recently at $1 more, which is understandable- supply chain issues and more expensive protein costs will of course impact the menu prices.I feel pretty certain I tried several sandwiches from here this summer, but with my ADD if I don't have a pic posted, it may not have happened, lol. So I'll just stick to the details I definitely remember. About a month ago I ordered the pot roast grilled cheese with tots. I believe it was $13.99. It comes with jalapenos, but I never know how spicy jalapenos will be and I was at work, so I got it without. It was a good thickness and the portion was more than fair for the price. I have no complaints as I like grilled cheese, I like brisket and I like tots. It was a solid meal that got me through the day and I think I was only able to finish about half of it. Today I tired the sirloin steak Caesar salad for $12.99. While I wouldn't have minded more steak, the size of the salad matched my expectation. I liked that the thin slices made it easier to eat with other ingredients and the dressing was much tastier than I typically get from a Caesar salad.I haven't been in person due to my work schedule, but they are located in The Shops at Highland Village and if I find myself over there with extra time, I would definitely stop in. Seems like a nice place for Happy Hour on the patio.I find their appetizer menu especially to be interesting and varied and it seems like they put a lot of time and thought into their sauces. The rest of the menu is typical bar fare with a variety of nachos, burgers, sandwiches and salads, so exactly the type of food my husband eats. I just like that they have a good mix of proteins to choose from like shrimp, chicken, turkey, pork and I think I've seen an impossible burger on the menu. I saw a few reviews mentioning tiny portions, but I haven't had that experience at all. I know several specifically mentioned items that are appetizers, so I'm not sure if people are trying to make a meal out of Happy Hour apps or if people are still struggling to accept price fluctuations with supply and demand. I mean, I'm not thrilled that I've been spending more at the grocery store, but businesses are going through the same struggles so I'm not surprised if I see something more expensive than it was the last time. Besides, the price is completely in line with the other businesses in the area and there are more expensive options in the same shopping center."
