Peoria Artisan Brewery

This is our FAVORITE place--whether for date night or a family dinner, we adore the staff at PAB and always have excellent food!!!! We love the casual ambiance and appreciate the music. Their playlist is awesome! We will come back again and again and again! We love PAB!

We were back in for a Saturday lunch on this last day of August. Again, the service and the food was amazing. We decided to try something new. We ordered:BURRATA - Tomato, Peach, Grilled Bread, Pumpkin Seeds, Basil, Balsamic Reduction to share as a starter. I loved this dish. The peaches were nice and hard, not mushy. I loved how they tasted with the Burrata and the tomatoes & acid were a nice touch. The bread on the side was also very good. Hubs commented on the bread as well.SMOKED CLASSICS - From Thursday thru Saturday, Chef Michael presents classic house smoked BBQ influenced by Southern and Southwest Cooking Style & Culture. Today it was the Pulled Pork Sandwich. The sandwich was pretty darn good. I also really loved the pickles and sauce. I'm surprised I ate almost the entire thing. I got lots of yummy burnt ends. The pulled pork was flavored well.BREWER'S SALAD - a special today of Farro, Arugula, Butternut Squash, Beets, Green Apple, Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, & Brewer's Vinaigrette tossed in. (This vinaigrette was so yummy. It was made in-house with Freedom American Lager, Champagne Vinegar, Thyme, Mustard, & other ingredients) Must Try!WINGS - 6 or 8 w/ Pickled VegetablesChoice: Dry Rub, Buffalo or PAB Hot. We got eight wings with PAB Hot. Hubs said they were very good large traditional wings with a very crisp skin but moist meat. SALT N PEPPER FRIES - outside crispy and very good according to Hubs!

We had a great 1st trip to Peoria Artisan Brewery! The service was fast, attentive, and pleasant! The beer selection was great (according to my Fiancé) and the had the normal cider options for me. The dry rub wings were really really good! The burger was decent and the fires were awesome!

The Walker family LOVES Peoria Artisan Brewery. Everything that we have tried on the menu is fantastic. The BBQ is exceptionally well done. Brisket is always fork tender, melts in your mouth, and has wonderful flavor. I am a forever fan of the grilled oysters. The southern man burger is fantastic. Another couple of favorites are the pork belly dish (if you want something unique) and the meatballs (ultimate comfort food, please make it a staple!). We also can't resist a smoked old fashioned when we stop in. Just a fantastic drink done right. I think this little place has something for everyone. Live music on weekends. The ambiance is relaxed with a generous patio as well as quieter little booths tucked away in the back. Servers have always been friendly. Overall just a wonderfully talented chef, a surprisingly eclectic and tasteful menu, and all at a reasonable price. We will undoubtedly be regulars here! Also, can't wait for the speak easy!

Peoria Artisan Brewery and Gastropub has a good variety of beers brewed on site as well as guest taps. I created a flight of their own beers with a unique variety (Bodacious Blueberry, Honeysuckle Ale, Derailed Porter, Free Scottie Amber Lager) and added in a pretzel. Attentive and well informed server Taylor added to the experience. It will be even better to go in cooler weather when the garage door can be lifted and the outdoor dog friendly patio can be better appreciated for dining outside. Although the warm pretzel was good, the dip was bland and $11 for a pretzel is just too steep. Overall, my friend and I agreed the prices could use some lowering, but maybe they are counting on people using coupons or maybe there are happy hour specials, but this area shouldn't have Scottsdale prices if they want to draw local regulars.

This place is busy all the time but we were lucky this Saturday early dinner and found a table right away. The ambiance was not loud and they have live music on Saturday night. Our server was nice. We go the chorizo appetizer and it was very good similar flavor to the one in Chillis but better. The hamburger with the jalapeños aioli is also really good. Our beers all delicious. Not expensive but not cheap because $15 for a burger and fries not included,

Just popping back to review this place for the millionth time LOL! It's hands down our FAVE place! Want to give a shout out to the dirty fry bar - it's AMAZING!!! Fries are seasoned well and come with several sauces - ORDER IT! Also the Haboob Black IPA is soooo good - I once drank one on their patio with an actual haboob visible in the distance - can't guarantee that experience. Also waitstaff, bartenders, hostesses- always friendly and on-it!

Fantastic food, delightful drinks, great service, and a decent patio - Peoria Artisan Brewery has a lot going for it!I came here with a friend and we opted to sit outside. It took a bit to find two chairs that weren't covered in bird droppings, but honestly that's my only complaint. Everything else was amazing. The staff was amazing - friendly and hospitable. Upon learning we hadn't eaten there before our waitress brought us out a dinner menu so we could see a typical fare. We were there during brunch time, but jumped at the offer to have a brisket sandwich which wasn't listed. I also opted for a margarita. The brisket sandwich was fantastic. The meat was so tender it practically fell apart. The fries were great too - seasoned wonderfully, crisp but not too crisp, and the margarita was so good I had two! The other employees would pause upon delivering drinks or food to ask how we were doing and give future suggestions. It was a great brunch!

My crony and I decided to try their burgers here. Service was amiable but very slow. I tried out their PAB&J burger simply because I've never tried a peanut butter and jelly burger ever before. Both of us agreed that the meat patties weren't very good. The cherry jam took up most of the flavor and there was very little peanut butter. Note that unlike other sit down restaurants, their burgers do not automatically come with sides and they cost anywhere from $14-$17.50. We both felt that the dirty fries was way better than the burgers. Also, this is the first restaurant ever to charge us an unannounced "open food" charge which we had no idea what this was. Charging us extra for something asinine was a really lame way to end our meal.

Peoria Artisan is top tier!Their PAB (Peoria Artisan Burger) melts in your mouth and their Fry Bar is 10/10! I'm so impressed with this place. I'm honestly surprised they only have 4 stars. The servers are always so kind!
