First yay! A true brew pub in woodbridge! A place that isnt a chain! Woohoo! They have some interesting beers and I quite enjoy a number of them. I have visited four times now, three times for food and tasty adult beverages. Usually I have been immediately greeted and seated by one of their hostesses, pretty normal. Service staff then manage to ignore my wife and I for long enough that I either find the hostess and complain, or pin a server in the corner and request service. That is usually after 15 minutes of staring at the waitstaff after perusing the menu. They have an interesting and eclectic menu with very different offerings along with the usual pub offerings. We have enjoyed the tri dip, burgers, pretzels. This is still early days for this business so I expect they are still having growing pains. But they really really have to tighten up on their service. I will continue to drop in to fill my growlers as they do brew some very top notch beers, but man its a pain to drop in for what is expected to be a nice relaxing afternoons nosh accompanied by a few tasty beverages, only to end up stressed because I cant get served that tasty beverage in a timely fashion. I really want this business to do well in Woodbridge as we have so little in the way of non chain offerings and I can not emphasize enough that I very much enjoy their beer offerings. The facilities are always clean, the food has been good, good enough that we keep going back. EDIT: Its been about a year since I posted this, we have continued to go to Onreys and it has indeed continued to improve. Service is fine for what it is, I mean this isnt towel over the arm stuff here, its a brew pub. Food is good, service is fine and appears so much more stable than previously. Beer has never been anything but excellent, service just had to catch up, and it has. Im upping my stars and continuing to visit this establishment. Yay!

We did not have a great experience but the staff worked to make it right. Our main dish came out before our starters. We cancelled the starters and the management offered us a gift card for our next trip. We were out of towners so we told them that we couldnt really use it. They took off ten dollars off of our meal. We ordered the Mesa burger and lamb burger. They were large, juicy and cooked correctly. Unfortunately, they didnt have any flavor. I had to add salt and pepper twice to my burger. The quality of the ingredients was really good, it just seems like someone didnt know how to use a salt shaker. Now the French fries and homemade chips were really good, hot and fresh. They had huge chucks of sea salt on them and were super tasty. The French fry cook needs to teach the burger cook a thing or two. One other issue I had with the place is that, there are huge TVs all over the place except in the center of the restaurant. That is where we were sat. At first, I was like, "oh this is nice it is quiet and calm." But after a few minutes you realize that there is nothing to really look at or watch. This area is very under utilized for a sports bar. They need some different items on the wall. The rest of the place is very interesting and exciting to look at and you can hear people cheering along with their teams.

Beer is good, food is good... service is terrible. We came once with a large group on a Sunday evening and the entire place was dead. I attributed the terrible waitress to the fact that maybe she couldnt handle a large party. She kept coming up to one person at a time and asking their drink order, going to get it and coming back 5 min later to do it all over again... after about the 4th person I had to ask her to take everyones drink order or at least each individual check and then come back. I requested another waiter as well, and when he would come out things would move a little faster. Anyways... that happened all night. It was my husbands birthday and she continuously kept forgetting food or drinks and came back and told us 20-30 min after ordering a beer that they were out of a draft. This was by far the worst dining experience I have ever had. A few weeks ago we decided to attempt it again. We were seated and after 15 minutes of no sight of a waiter coming to take our drink order we up and left. I will give the hostess credit who tried to stop us from leaving and said the first round would be on us, but after the first experience combined with this one we decided we would rather our money go to people willing to work for it. Sad because it is a pretty fun atmosphere and very large.

The worst excuse of a place. I really wish I could give negative stars. My wife and I were ignored when we tried to get someone to seat us at a table and I walked up to the bar and stood in front of the bartender that just ignored me while was was talking to the other bartender about why they had to come in early. The manager was such an ass and just walked by us 3 times without so much as a nod or kiss my ass look. In short, this place has the worst service known to man and is not worth my time or effort to ever go back. I hope they can do us all a favor and go out of business and let someone with some customer service skills take it over.

Great environment, great service, amazingly delicious food. Monday nights are trivia night, and Tuesday nights are paint nite. The bar inside has TVs usually with sports on, and the outside bar is very nice as well. They have their own beer and root beer that they brew but I havent tried either yet. I can speak for the fish and chips (fries are great), the ornery burger (recommend adding cheddar cheese, bacon, egg), and the pork chop (possibly the best item on the menu). Had a great first time experience and will definitely come back.

It was ok, food was fair and beer was decent. My gripe comes from the pours of their beers. They advertise 8 and 16 oz pours, the glasses are not 16 oz and if you want an 8 oz (which we asked for and didnt get) they are supposed to be a half pour in their "16" oz glass. When I asked the waiter if ours is considered a 16 oz glass, he said, "yeah, we have that weird bubble in our glass." The bubble maybe makes up a half oz. Just get the right glasses/pours and the place could be a 4 star joint.

Great atmosphere! If youre looking for a nice brewery and not just a simple bar like or chain like Applebees or Buffalo Wild Wings this is the place! Decent selection of 8-10 beers on tap, from blonde to a smoky porter and ipas in between. Large open area for games and cornhole, booths and tables make it nice for just two people or large group. My wife and I had the trio dip and Italian flatbread and loved the food as well. Board games add a nice brewery staple and element of fun.
