Bullfrog Creek Brewing

I'm really at a 3.5 but the back and forth was a little annoying, so I gotta drop it a half .This brewery is in a small strip plaza, full on store front, walked inside, it was very big, lots of tables, bar at the back the entire length of the back wall.It was a beautiful day out.... we wanted to sit outside, but then while standing inside the door inside, we learned if you're seated outside you have to come in to get your order, so we seated ourselves inside.So we sat. And waited. And while looking at the couple of menus for the 7 of us, we grabbed some more menus from other tables, we were going to eat, but no one came to the table to even get our drink orders, so I went to the bar/counter and learned that you have to order EVERYTHING at the bar/counter and you leave a credit card with them for a tab or by QR code (which I don't partake in) and...and drinks you pick up at the bar inside and food you have to go outside and pick up food at the food truck? I didn't even see a food truck at that point. OK I think I got the rules down... Order at the counter, pick up drinks inside, pick up food outside. SO WEIRD!Since we wanted to sit outside to begin with, we all went outside. There were 6-7 of us, so we needed a table to accommodate us all. Sat at a flimsy plastic (plywood-like) square table with attached small seats. Flimsy in the sense that when someone got up and leaned on the table, the whole thing felt like it was going to tip. While all sides had people sitting on the small attached seats. It happened twice with 2 different people on 2 different sides of the table. I'm glad no one ended up on the floor.OH and I finally saw the food truck, all the way in the back of the outdoor area. The outside was set up cute, though. Artificial turf, tables, sail shades and a small stage by the parking lot side, we had a live acoustic guy. So that was a nice touch.Now that we knew the lay of the land and the rules - we all did our individual getting up and ordering and bringing our own drinks and sitting down and getting a text to get our food and then sitting down and then bussing our own tables and then going back inside to close out tabs... it was pretty discombobulated and made for an interesting time for the 7 of us.So, the beer - because that's why we're here......I tried a few but settled on the Sweater one. That was the best one I tasted. So I had 2. I also had the cheese curds. Fried, and d really greasy and oily. But you can't expect less, it's fried. and it's cheese! Others had burgers and a couple other things. They said they were pretty good.The service was friendly once we figured out the situation, and engaged in good conversation and were helpful in choosing the right beer. Even the folks in the food truck were friendly while picking up our food.I just can't get over the logistics of it all and I'm paying normal prices and tips as if it were full service table service.

It's been about a year since my last visit, and I'm thrilled to say this place still rocks! The beer selection is on point, and the food menu is solid- always something new to try. Plus, they're dog friendly, so my pup gets to make all the new furry friends, which is a big win for us!If you swing by on a weekend, there's tons of football on the TVs so you can keep up with all your favorite teams at once. The vibe is super welcoming, and the service is top-notch! The bartender is a total pro and always nails it with beer recommendations.My only wish is that they had some cider on tap!

They have a decent selection of local brews to choose from as well as other types of drinks. Service was fast and friendly. They have QR codes for the menus and you can order from your table using your smart phone. They do have WiFi available but only inside. If you sit outside there is no access to the WiFi (bummer I know...). Food is good and is from a pretty simple menu. Fries are crispy which is what I like. If you are in the area give them a try.

Bullfrog Creek Brewing is a solid spot for a local craft beer in the Lithia/Valrico area. My brother and I stopped in here one weeknight for some hang time.We arrived to a very full parking lot, wondering why a brewery was packed on a Wednesday night. Turns out it was a bingo fundraiser for a local group. Not a single seat in the house was left. Luckily, they have outdoor seating. Not the most ideal, considering heat, bugs, etc., but it worked.You order at a counter, grab your beers and you'll get a text for your food. I ordered their "Diddy". This German Pilsner is crisp, light and refreshing with the slightest carbonation and it hit the spot. I love a good Pilsner and this is one of them. My brother tried a couple different IPAs. He enjoyed them as well.The only let down here was the food. Food trucks are a popular option for breweries but theirs seems to be a permanent fixture. A "kitchen" by way of a food truck that never leaves the premises. I ordered the chicken tenders. My brother ordered a Cuban. We also got pretzels.The pretzels were decent. On the greasy side but were soft, salted and came with a tasty cheese to dip. My chicken tenders were pretty lackluster. They weren't very juicy or super tender. They lacked seasoning in the breading and were just ok. The fries were average. This meal was only $10.99 so that's not the worst pricing. My brother had the Cuban. This sandwich was decent for a Cuban but honestly, competition in Tampa is steep when it comes to that. This one held its own but definitely wasn't the best around. This sandwich was $16.99. Pricey for a Cuban. That's more expensive than Columbia.Bullfrog Creek doesn't bill themselves as a gastropub so you can't expect chef inspired food. I also didn't expect the food to be that average. All in all, this is a great local brewery. The beer is excellent and the food is filling. I'd definitely come back for the beer!

After trying a sampling of four brews on tap and an additional one my fiancé ordered.. we were not satisfied with the taste. The interior is extremely loud and doesn't seem to have a friendly vibe.

I feel that a two star review would be hurtful to this business because I liked the atmosphere and military oriented crowd but after years of tastings at other breweries, I wasn't impressed by the 5 tap beers that I tried. I chose the Kolsch but tasted four others from a flight.The service could have been a bit more friendly and I don't feel I'd return unless they up their game on brewing.

Stopped by in the afternoon for a beer and was so glad I did. It was too warm for me to want to sit outside, but there was ample seating inside. The bar tenders were friendly and helpful. I even got $2.00 off since it was happy hour. I enjoyed a tasty Dunkle and look forward to coming back soon.

Highly recommend grabbing some bites from Bullfrog!The beer and drinks are top notch! After doing some trivia it was time to munch. The food comes from the food truck outside but they are loading these plates up!The burger and cheesy bacon fries were soooo good I ended up eating most of it instead of sharing lol.The pretzels were gone in less than 10 and the boiled peanuts in Buffalo are a match made in heaven. Definitely coming back again:)

Great wings! One of the few places you can get smoked wings. You can taste the smoke and it really makes the wings. Come on Wednesday for lunch and they have wing specials!Sorry I forgot pics. We got 2 orders of wings. One with Cajun dry rub and the other with Cajun garlic parm. We also had an order of loaded fries.Food was prepared fresh and ready quickly. Staff here is A+. Best local brewery and family friendly. Events all week to enjoy with great beer.Dry rub wings really brought out the smoke. Crispy wings that were good size. The Cajun garlic parm was very good. A nice twist with some heat with the garlic and parm. Perfect for sharing. You get 8 wings in an order. Loaded fries are great with cheese, bacon, sauce and tons of fries with jalapeños. Definitely enough to share. We were stuffed with all the food.You can sit inside or outdoors. They have a great outdoor area that is covered. They have fans for the summer and heaters for the winter. Come get some great wings to have with your beer.

This place keeps growing on me... So I only hit this place when I am camping in the area.. So one or two times a year... So what keeps me coming back??? Well it is the closest to the campsite but besides that, this is a pretty awesome brewery... Beers, service and ambience... It scores high in each area.... I could go on about each of their beers but taste is very subjective and you will need to figure that out on your own... As for service, I have had nothing but the best, most welcoming and attentive beer tenders every single time I have bellied up to the bar.... Very informative about their beers and willing to chat about just about anything... As for the brewery itself... Well it is on par with most... Cozy and comfortable inside... A bar that sits 10 or 12.. And plenty of open seating for everyone else wanting to stay inside... Outside, there is a very welcoming open area with an inviting seating area with plenty of shade for those sunny days... You can also bring fido out there... Bullfrog is a very relaxing place to kick back and have a couple... Bring a friend or a group... I'm sure all will enjoy... Cheers...
