Brian BrannanSeptember 18, 2015Great cocktails, and tasty pork entrees. Unfortunately most of my smoked pork was a bit dry, but one piece was juicy and amazing. My girlfriend's porterhouse pork chop was thick and perfectly cooked.
This is a cool place if you crave home- made beer, good food, and have an affinity for the Northwest (like me). Be prepared for some large portions,at least twice as much food as you'd get in Seattle.
try the seasonal beers . Currently Summer ale and Bock Jack on tap . Summer ale light and refreshing w a lemon note. Bock Jack. Bock aged in Jack Daniels oak barrels -Can't go wrong - nuff said.
- Check out Sunday Brunch. Steak and eggs or an Italian Omelet. It's all great! They are open early so you canbeat the Sunday crowd.
Jason C.November 15, 2014Scallops and garlic bulbs are a must along with any of their beer. If you have room for dinner after that the fillet or tuna will finish out the night perfectly
Christine NewmanAugust 14, 2013Ask for the mustard sauce with your fries - awesome! My entree was stellar. Ribeye cooked perfectly med/rare with blue cheese scalloped potatoes. Great meal all around.
The Cactus Jack and Star View that is on tap is a must try
Jasmine RaShaeDecember 23, 2014The brunch here > ....best 12$ steak and eggs you will eat in your life, fresh GOOD coffee, the freshly baked muffins are phenomenal
Kirsty SnovickyOctober 6, 2015Happy hour 4-7pm daily. $3.25 beers, ritas, and bellinis. $4.50 house wine. $5 appetizers include spinach dip, stuffed mushrooms, calamari, wings, and pizza.
MattersOfGrey.comNovember 24, 2013Try the Roasted Garlic Bulb appetizer. The garlic is roasted perfectly and balances well with the bread and goat cheese
- Absolutely everything on the menu rocks! My personal favorite is the Huntsman burger! Make sure you order one with the huntsman cheese and a Duckabish Amber Ale.
Allison LJune 3, 2016We where excited to try this place, but after going we won't be back. The atmosphere is great and the menu items look good with a big variety. Problem is the food is blah.
Beer list is nicely expanded. Zombie Dragon (NEIPA Anniversary Ale) is on point!
Wow! We've been coming here for years, and we usually have special requests. And didn't realize until tonight it was such a problem. Maybe we should go spend our money elsewhere.
- Allison LJune 3, 2016Blue cheese tomato soup was good just a touch too much blue cheese which over powered the flavor.
Stephanie R.October 11, 2014The food and in house brews both impressed this traveler ... Plus awesome service and portion sizes
Doug CaldwellJune 27, 2011For two, try small salad sure each. Then share a pizza, especially BBQ chicken. Wait staff very attentive to clear off dishes and glasses. Pizza very good, oven baked makes great crust.
Mike AndrewsMarch 5, 2016For a sub $30 ribeye, you can do a lot better. Appetizer, drinks, entrée, sides were all sub-par. DO NOT order a classic gin martini. So many better food options in the area. Waitstaff was terrific.
Abbie PaneDecember 28, 2010I had never had duck before and decided to try it here...it was amazing! Definitely something I would order again! The sampler platter was also great!
They make their own beer...try their Heffeweizen beer...nice, bright, refreshing and they always add a slice of orange to it..yum!!!
Debbie CerdaAugust 16, 2012love the Blackjack Ale, a personal favorite! Try with the grilled cornbread topped with 'shrooms and goat cheese
David MauldinApril 3, 2019Their website, Yelp, Google, etc. says they close at 11pm. This is the third time we’ve tried to beat the clock just to be turned away at 10:15-10:30.
Great beer, great atmosphere - but their beer/food menu isn't that exciting or adventurous.
- Sampler platter. Don't expect real Buffalo wings - they're Asian honey wings - but good. I get the platter as an entree without the Calamari.
JenniferMay 1, 2012Beer samplers are the way to go here -- it's a haven for those in way North Austin.
When you come here often for their amazing beers don't forget to ask about their mugclub membership
Molly Karol SprattApril 1, 2012Duckabish Amber. Best beer I've had in a long time. Also ask for Jeffery. Great waiter.
Ryan JonesDecember 17, 2014Had the salmon.. it was so so.. but the potatoes underneath were pretty good.. hostesses were nice and fun to chat with.
The Spicy Mike's Chicken Sandwich is a great lunchtime burger alternative.
ShelbyAugust 5, 2011Want a drinking game? Sit where you can watch the blonde hostess & take a drink every time she touches her hair!- Allison LJune 3, 2016Salmon dish was cooked good just lacked the flavor. The blue cheese potatoes also didn't taste like anything.
Brewer's Brunch was excellent. Sirloin and 2 eggs cooked to order.
