Hall and Hound Brewing Co

Stopped here on the way down from camping. Great spot! Order two burgers (one gluten free) and kids chicken fingers and bill came to just under $50. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere (dog friendly patio).

A less than stellar experience. We walked away feeling sick that we paid as much as we did for the quality of the food and the service we received. My husband and I got Buffalo chicken wraps. My husband got his w/ no lettuce or tomato & when his food came out it was literally a child size portion for the wrap. Mine was a little better - the flavor was good. One of our daughters got a kids meal w/ chicken tenders & Mac-n-cheese, which was an understandable up charge of $2 but, the chicken tenders were almost like chicken tenders cut in halves, they were TINY (pictured) Our 6 year old got a kids pizza - on the kids menu (pictured) some of the food items are on the right in a box listed w/ sides, pizza and macaroni and cheese are to the left. Options were fries, tots, salad and one other item (not Mac n cheese) we asked for a salad w/ the pizza as the side. When we got our check, they had charged us $7 for the side salad - the waiter did not inform us that sides were not included w/ the pizza. It was not stated that it, nor the Mac n cheese came w/ sides so of course I selected a side. I guess it was supposed to be assumed b/c it was not in the boxed in area w/ the other children’s menu items. $14 for a meal for a 6 year old is wild! Maybe I’m not the most intelligent person for not picking up on that but, I think it should be listed or at minimum disclosed by the wait staff. The most frustrating part of our experience was, though, that we were initially DELIGHTED to see how allergy friendly things were - many items had notations listed to the side of them where they could be adapted to gluten free versions, including the chicken fried chicken. My son who is GF & DF was excited to have something relatively normal! When his food came out, it was a tiny piece of grilled chicken & we told the runner it wasn’t ours b/c of course, we didn’t order grilled chicken. We were anticipating GF chicken fried chicken - the chef ended up running out and chatting w/ us when we sent it back (b/c at this point we still didn’t know that WAS the “GF version” of their chicken friend chicken) Anyone w/ allergies knows, when it says a menu item can be adapted and made GF, you’re anticipating that actual item in a GF version, not a completely different meal. Hopefully this makes sense but given our anticipating how allergy friendly things seemed, this was really disappointing. The chef DID come up w/ an actual chicken fried chicken alternative in the form of “breaded” chicken tenders, which was really thoughtful but, we were all well into our meals before my son was able to eat. Some other things to note: On the online menu portions look hearty - that was not our experience AT ALL. We totally understood there was a very large party in the downstairs area, which our waiter was attending to (we were upstairs) they also mentioned being short staffed, which again, we totally understand. It didn’t feel fair to our waiter that he was running up and down the stairs and of course, attending to a party that large your attention can only be in so many places at once. He came by our table once after he took our order. We weren’t able to ask for sauces or needed items that didn’t end up coming out with our food and our drinks weren’t refilled until the very end of our meal - we had to wave someone over for that. I’m not typically one to leave reviews but when the $100+ bill came out, the totality of the experience felt pretty disheartening. Things felt chaotic, like the focus of most of the staff was downstairs, extra items were added to our ticket and had to be removed… it just didn’t seem to be operating smoothly. All of that being said, the staff we did encounter were very friendly for the most part - hopefully it was just a really off night. Hopefully food quality, communication and attentiveness pick up a bit b/c it’s a cool concept and facility!
