Dust Bowl Brewery Taproom

The food and drinks here were great, but the overall experience had some frustrating moments. I tried two seasonal cocktails, and both were absolutely delicious. The beet and burrata salad was fresh and flavorful, but it was a lot of work to prepare. Having to cut up all the carrots and beets took a lot of effort and trying to toss a full plate of salad is always a struggle when there is little room for the food to move. By the time I finally started eating, everyone else at the table was almost finished. If I ordered it again I would request the carrots be cut, the rest is manageable. The service was inconsistent. When I went to buy a hat, there were at least seven employees standing directly behind the apparel cashier, yet no one acknowledged me for several minutes. I even felt uncomfortable trying to make eye contact with them because it was so obvious I was being ignored. Eventually, Luisa came over and saved the moment--she was friendly, warm, and incredibly helpful. She also brought us some of our dishes earlier in the meal and was noticeably more attentive than our actual server.Overall, the food and drinks were fantastic, but there is room for improvement in the attentiveness of the staff.

This place was packed around dinner time! We were told there would be an hour wait although many tables appeared to be empty. Not sure if you can make a reservation at this place or not. Luckily many parties did not show or left already so we were seated quickly.We started off with Oakie Nachos which were huge! We would have been full off those alone. They were hot & fresh chips covered in meat, cheese and sauce.We both ordered delicious burgers & fries. Along with a beer and moonshine cocktail.The cocktail could have been better, but I guess I can't expect too much from a brewery.The place is wheelchair accessible, beautifully decorated inside, attentive service, clean bathrooms, great food & drinks.

Since I don't drink beer my review is based on food only.Food wise it doesn't even compare to the original in downtown Turlock. The new one is fun for families and drinkers and appeals to an under 40 crowd, but they lost many customers who enjoy a good meal which was far better downtown.I only go because someone else chooses it, but I have been disappointed every time. Our server was sweet and attentive.But will I go again? Not by my choosing.

On a Sunday evening in Turlock nearby the 99 is Dust Bowl Brewery. They have a large establishment with ample parking spaces on the premises. They mostly offer their beers on tap and a menu food selection as well. I order the coconut shrimp for a starter and the fish tacos platter. The prices were accurate for Turlock. The service was very prompt and friendly. Sadly to say they do not offer any discounts or promotions as well. The ambiance I found to be lovely with the retractable windows doors. Big screen TVs all around. Overall, I had a lovely time at Dust Bowl brewery they were accommodating. Check out the pictures.

Loved the food here! I had the coconut shrimp. It's was sweet and crunchy, the sauce that came with it came perfectly with it. If you look closely at the menu, you'll see at the bottom of each food item there is a beer that pairs nicely with the item. I sadly didn't see it while ordering. I had the Star Dust beer, which was sweet and bitter at the same time. Will come back again!

Went to this location tonight (2nd time here) - nice place - plenty of room both inside and outside. Nice selection of food that is pretty tasty and well made overall. The prices are reasonable along with plenty of beer selections for various taste buds and likes.

Was visiting in the area, and we had the dogs with us, so we thought we'd take advantage of Dust Bowl's giant outdoor space. We initially made reservations online for their patio. However when we arrived, we were told dogs were not allowed in the patio area, but we were able to have them in their picnic areas. Only problem with the picnic area is that it's a condensed menu and everything is served togo. Either way, we made the best of it. I ended up trying their strawberry seltzers, which was really good, especially with some pebble ice (makes every drink better). They were pretty strong seltzers so be careful when drinking them. For food, we go the oki nachos and a cheese pizza with jalapenos. I thought the food was ok. The oki nachos had potential but served in a pizza box everything got cold kinda quick. The chicken was dry, and it needed more sauce. While we ordered the pizza with jalapenos on it, we got it on the side so they weren't baked with the pizza. The pizza itself was good when eaten fresh, although the cold pizza leftovers weren't it. Best to finish it there while it's fresh. Overall, I really enjoyed the space and the drinks. It's such a large space so it's great for big group gatherings. they had plenty of picnic tables in the dog friendly portion of the venue. Plenty of corn hole games setup to keep you entertained as well. Definitely would like to try their full menu, next time, without the dogs.

Solid place to grab a bite when in the area. I came here with a group, and didn't know what to expect. The actual grounds were nice. While we didn't go out and about, there was a lot of space for kids, adult games, and more.We were seated quickly, and the staff was great throughout. For the drinks with refills, they were tended to throughout the me.The appetizer we got---the chips and dip assortment--were solid. I saw an item on the menu that piqued my interest, since the only other time I had been able to get something similar was at a well-known place in Portland.I got a PB& J sandwich, and it was good. The sweet and salty flavor profiles work weirdly well with burgers. While it wasn't the same mind-blowing experience as the one in Portland (IYKYK), the one from here was really good. I would come back when in the area, I enjoyed the time we had here.

The Dust Bowl was so fun! We sat outside with our pup in the sunshine. It was lovely. The beer selection is great! We couldn't choose so we got a flight and we weren't disappointed. The food was great as well! They had some healthy options. I recommend if you are in the area.

Said they were dog friendly came in and had a small dog in a stroller and was told we had to go out in the patio ok not a problem but the way I was treated was like I was a third class citizen because I had a dog said I was on a limited menu and we had to get our own food and can't be served like the rest and then only gave us one menu that we had to share. Just really left a bad taste in our mouth to be treated so badly just walking in with a well behaved dog that was in a stroller. I think they need to do better if you are going to advertise dog friendly!
