Eva Roberts In yestetday The hubby & I decided to take a ride out to Draught Brewery yesterday to finally check the place out! When we 1st walked in I was surprised ro see how small the place was, the pictures on their website are a little deceiving. We then found a table, seated ourselves, after a couple of mins. the Bartender came over with our menus & asked what we wanted to drink (mind you walking into an establishment for the 1st time you kinda expect to be greeted with a smile & a little more personality, which needless to say, was not the case here) she took our drink order & then our waitress came over to take our food order (VERY PERSONABLE & She greeted us with a Smile) My husband ordered their Burger (waitress was up front about the fact it Frozen & Not Fresh) & it was Taco Tuesday, so I tried the Tacos & Mac & Cheese! My hubby said for a frozen burger, it wasnt bad (hes a real fussy eater especially when it comes to his burgers, he prefers Fresh) & the Mac was Ok. I had the Chicken & Beef Tacos & Mac & Cheese also! The Tacos were good, & the Mac & Cheese, not bad, but Ive had better (Now Twisted Roasters Mac & Cheese is the Bomb)! My husband said the Beer was pretty good, so I had one too & it was quite tasty (they dont serve Alcohol, "Only" Beer & Wine) Sooo, for our over all experience, I rate Draught Brewery 3 Stars out of 5! If you live in the surrounding area, its a nice place to go to for something different or if you wanna go for a ride on a nice day!

What a disappointment. We were so excited to visit this place after meeting the owner at a horse show. When we walked in, we sat at the bar. There was no acknowledgement of our presence from either of the two bartenders. A simple hello would have made us feel welcome. We were finally able to order some really great brews. But there never was an offer to provide us with menus or take an order for food; totally avoided eye contact with us. After 30 minutes, we finally left and went to our favorite hangout. Beer was served within 5 minutes, order for food within 10 minutes and all was done with a smile from our server. A little advice....a simple hello, welcome, and a smile goes a long way. Even if it means waiting for service. Great atmosphere, excellent brew, but we would have liked to feel welcome as opposed to feeling invisible. This is an easy fix. Train your staff to welcome and serve your customers and make an effort to be friendly.

I love to visit local restaurants & breweries. My neighbors and I visited Draught Horse last week and I was not very impressed. The beer was not balanced right, the beers were too bitter, especially the porter (IPA was the best they had) and the food left a lot to be desired, personal pizza was underdone and the strawberry shortcake was a soggy mess. Additionally, I am not a fan of the no waitstaff concept that they have and the place is very cramped because they used much of the building area for the brew tanks. My opinion of the place when I left was that they did not plan the concept well before opening. I will try them again in a few months to see if they improve with time, but there are other microbreweries in the area I think are much better.

My wife had the cider and I had the black IPA along with the Cipa. All three were very good. The black IPA had just the right amount of IBUs. The cider was not to sweet and my wife enjoyed it. To eat we had beer cheese soup that was pretty good but could not the best. I had the wings which were good, standard wings. The blooming bread was very good, definitely a must try. Mac and cheese along with the Cajun potatoes which were decent. The atmosphere was small but well done. A nice relaxing rustic feel. Would go back if I was in the area. Service was friendly and did well. Met my expectations for a smaller brewery with a lighter staff. Well done Draught Horse keep up the good work!

The good: Pelham pale ale 4 Stars Pulled pork 4 Stars Mussles 4 Stars The really bad: Beer cheddar soup 0 stars: should be removed from the menu. Burgers: 1 star.. No grill means pre cooked and finished in a pan resulting in only well done burgers. Cajun red skins: 1 star. Just so much overkill on the cajun resulting in a rather disgusting finish. Service left my party wanting. Not rude but lacked personality. Typically when a dish is left untouched you ask why a 10$ bowl of soup had 3 spoon fulls taken from it. The atmosphere is cosy but cant make up for the price. In the end you can find better food and better beer elsewhere.

I have visited this brewery twice with my partner and enjoyed the beer selection. Having made two visits, I will never return again, based on the customer service, attitude of the workers, and the food quality. Upon a visit for a growler fill, it was around a 20 minute wait(rediculous) and nothing but rudeness was received from the bartender, who continued to help others and do other work, after asking what my partner needed the growler filled with. The manager helped some, but the whole experience just left a bad taste in my mouth. Your employees represent your establishment. Also, the growler was not adequately filled.

Sat on the patio after a hike and had 2 beers and a burger. Both beers were great, especially the Vanilla Maple Stout. As for the food, I had the DHB burger with redskin potatoes on the side. The potatoes were amazing...I couldve eaten an entire plate of them. The burger, not so much. The patty seemed like it was a previously frozen mass product. I can get better burger patties from any grocery store. Spent 20 seconds inside...its small and cozy and it was very busy. The patio was very relaxing. I would return for the beers and try something else from the food menu. Couldve had 5 stars if not for the disappointing burger.

My father-in-law keeps on complaining that there is no lager on tap, but then he keeps coming back for the AMAZING chicken tacos and gourmet mac-and-cheese! In all fairness, I think your beer is pretty good, food is excellent, but what really sets this apart is your amazing discount for both active duty military and veterans. Ive never in all my travels met a restaurant with good beer, great food, excellent service, and such an amazing discount to the men and women of the United States military. They have a customer for life. Definitely try them out if youre in the area.

Pros: decent salsa. Texas margaritas great. Lesbian pictures of Latinas "rolling the dough" on the tables. Waitress might be one of the ones in the picture "rolling the dough". Amazing California burrito, beans, and rice. Cons: hostess wouldnt seat us where we wanted due to one wait staff. greeter didnt speak english and couldnt tell us where the restroom was. Restroom is too far away. Paper towel dispenser broken. No soap in dispenser. I got a yellow plate, everyone elses was blue. Pretty sure that is a dirty lemon in my water. Never mind its a lime
