Flat Branch Pub & Brewing

I finally went back to Flatbranch and it was like night and day. I think there were just a lot of growing pains in those years around the pandemic, and quality became a problem everywhere. I ordered the exact same meal and it was EXACTLY as described! The pork was flavorful and well sauced and a generous portion. The service was very quick and we didn't wait very long to get seated. We will definitely be back, and I'm glad to say I get the hype!

What a great find. I discovered this place while visiting the college kids the Friday before a big game. This is walk-able distance from campus so was able to do a quick campus tour to burn off the meal. Good choices of beers. The American IPA and Juicy Hazy hit the spot on one of the hottest days of the year. I ordered the Adobo Pork Burrito. Found in the sandwich section of the menu but felt like a healthy sandwich option. Walked into the restaurant hungry and found the burrito the perfect amount of food. Not too much food. Flavorful meat and fresh veggies. Must save room for dessert!!! The Tiger Stripe Ice Cream is a local ice cream and apparently made at Mizzou. Perfect to share at the table. I will make this place my go-to anytime I visit the kids.

Visited Flat Branch Pub & Brewing in Columbia, MO for a late lunch while in town for a Mizzou Football game. Naturally, the place was packed, and the service was a bit slow, but we didn't mind--we kicked things off with beer flights. Sampling different brews was definitely a great call, and once we found our favorites, we ordered pints.Food-wise, we started with some appetizers--onion rings were a hit--and then moved on to the veggie burgers. Now, I've had some killer veggie burgers here before, so my expectations were sky-high. This time? Still good, but didn't quite blow me away like I hoped. Maybe I was setting the bar too high!All in all, it was a fun time with good food and a lively atmosphere. Will I be back? Absolutely!

In for a quick stop so no in-depth review. Top service, pretty OK 5-cheese Pizza, decent beer varieties and reasonable prices.

The mystifying horrible. Walked into Flat Branch Brewery this past Sunday around 4:30 looking for a bowl of pasta I've enjoyed in the past. I was flying solo so I siddled up to the bar. Once I sat down I realized it's one of those places in town where the bar stools are the incorrect height for the bar.Looking behind me I see a row of 7-8 Bistro High Top Tables with about four of them occupied. I grabbed my magazine & headed over to an empty one right next to a couple with their college aged daughter. I'd been sitting for a few minutes reading when some guy comes over and in a very condescending voice says to me "Ma'am-Can we HELP you?". Well, I wasnt there to post a letter jackhole. Caught out by his rudeness I started to explain I wasn't comfortable sitting at the bar. "Well, this section is closed for the night so you'll have to sit at the bar or the other side." Same snotty tone. He starts to lead me to the other side of the joint and as I pass the host stand I just hook a right and exit. Headed on over to Ozark Mountain Biscuit for a delicious Pork Tenderloin sandwich with pleasant and efficient service and the right sized bar stools.

Green chile beer? Green chile chicken fingers? Anything is possible over at Flat Branch Pub. Came here on a Monday night in the summer with coworkers on our recent business trip to MIZZOU and wow, this spot had something for everyone. After seeing my coworkers choose inventive brews like the lavender (which is actually purple) and green chile options, I knew I had to go with a flight to properly sample them all. I really enjoyed the lavender and green chile options, but was happy they were just small pours vs. committing to an entire glass. The green chile beer in particular has a real kick to it, so if you're not into spice don't go with this option. Their sour beer was actually on the lighter side which I appreciated, and the Kolsh was darker than what I'd normally expect but still pretty tasty.Service was friendly and prompt enough for this displaced New Yorker. The ambiance was casual, we chose to sit outside to enjoy the cooler night weather. The green chile chicken finger salad really hit the spot even though I'm not sure you can really qualify something like this as a salad. It reminded me of an elevated version of a Wendy's salad...in a good way? Giant pieces of spicy, crispy green chile chicken fingers underneath romaine lettuce with tomatoes, cheese, bacon, onions and ranch dressing. What's not to love? We all split the queso and pico fried ravioli which is unlike anything I've ever come across (in a good way). It's like if a ravioli and a burrito bowl had a baby.

Small lot adjacent and street parking.Cool holiday decor outside on the trees. Great meal. Server was friendly though seemed confused by the amount of food ordered (we are yelpers)!In order of greatness:The pretzel and spinach cheese dip, as noted by others. Wow! Pretzel was So warm, soft and flavorful. The dip had great flavor. The wings. Great flavor sauce. Crispy, moist wings. Delish ranch sauce. Onion rings. Crispy. Flavorful. Slightly overdone. Toasted ravs. Good. Not what I expected drenched in cheese sauce but nice to get the side of sour cream and guacamole. The charred romaine was a last minute add. It was odd in terms of warm, wet, soggy. Flavor was good. Great place, would like the pretzel and wings. Every time.

I love Flat Branch! Our party of three got in on Friday night with no reservations or wait. Our server, Austin, was great! Overall a good experience. Our table also got the avocado chicken salad sandwich and loved it.

Limited vegan options but you can customize on the menu. The veggie patty is not vegan, but you can order the seasonal salad and extra veggies. Chicken club was absolutely delicious and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend for a good sit down restaurant with family.

Stopped by here, working in Columbia, MO for the week. Been to Columbia many times before for work, but never checked this place out until now. They were out of the 2 IPA's I requested. I then asked to try the Czech Pils, but they were out of that too. So I went with the pale ale and the bartender was nice enough to pour me the rest of the Lucky 7's. Ordered a mushroom Swiss burger, medium cooked. And a side of fries. Burger was good, fries were ok. This place is close to Missouri University campus, so it was busy with a nice mix of locals and college students. Will definitely come back here when back in Columbia for work.
