    Been trying to show this restaurant to some friends, They ordered a pitcher of margaritas on the menu was $26,99 Wanted to upgrade the alcohol. Expecting an up charge. Basile came with a charge for the whole pitcher 26.99+ a $40 up charge for changed alcohol. ask the waitress she said nope that’s the price. I asked the manager all they did was argue for at least a half hour and never compensated a penny for this $67 picture of five margaritas. on top the only thing we ordered that was good was the pretzel. Will not come back feel so bad for our friends that they split the fish and chips ordered a pitcher of margaritas and a pretzel and paid $104. all they wanted was compensation on the pitcher of margaritas. They expected to pay $40 for the picture if you want that with the upgraded alcohol not 67.99.

    Food was fantastic! Some of the best I've had. I especially liked the pretzel w beer cheese and mustard, the cheese and mustard were amazing! My chicken sandwich was amazing too! Also they have a great beer selection! The water I got to go with it was awful though, tasted like eggs, my significant other had to order a sweet tea instead it was so bad. Service was disappointing, waited over ten minutes before a server greeted us and another ten minutes before we got our drinks. I had to go ask for more drinks when our food came because no one had been back to help us. I don't blame the server though, she was very busy, they should have had more servers for the medium sized crowd that was there. All and all I'll go back because the food was so good but I hope they improve their service and do something about the awful tasting water.

    Unless you want to enjoy select adult beverages or the aesthetics, I would highly advise going somewhere else for food. Service was slow at the least busy time. Everything we ordered was well over cooked, as you can see in the attached picture. My nephew’s pancake was served without syrup. The fries were served cold and hard. The biscuits are not edible. The mushroom omelet came with a slice of Swiss cheese placed on top, not melted. They were out of a beer we ordered as well as the pork belly. I was visiting from pittsburgh and completely let down with the experience. I won’t return and I hope no one else runs into a similar experience. We did express our displease to our waitress and were offered a free dessert to make up their short ends, to which we declined. Reimbursing a portion of the $90 bill we paid for food we didn’t eat would have been the route to go, guys. I hope the owners and managers take this review into consideration on changes needing made so that others have a positive experience unlike what we had.

    The first time I went here I loved the place but the past two times it just continues to drop off. Second time they enforced the terrible policy of adding a tip automatically for the server for a group. While I understand the thinking this creates a huge problem. The server knowing they're guaranteed a tip doesn't give good service anymore because there's no incentive to do so and that night that proved to be 100% correct. We all had some of the worst service we've ever had. Now fast forward to this past week. We had a smaller group and even had reservations which we had confirmed and even emails to prove it but they claimed they had no record of it. Then the service. Again our server kept disappearing and rarely checked on us and you can't say it was because of being busy because they split the group to having 2 servers and the other server made sure she was attentive to the other half of our group. She was on top of it. Then to top it off the kitchen didn't make half my dinner so we cancelled it and my boneless wings came out burnt and dry the size of tiny popcorn chicken. I can say I honestly won't be back ever again unless it's an event a friend is having. Sad to see it drop off so much after an amazing first visit

    Nice venue. They had music when we were there. Good food. Looking forward to going back. I had the chicken tacos, they were very good. The husband had the burger, unfortunately it was a frozen patty and not good. The fried pickles and chorizo risotto balls were very good.

    Great selection of beer and cocktails. Food was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend their mimosa/Bellini flights and steak and eggs for brunch.

    I was not impressed. The photos of the food looked amazing and while the presentation was good, the food was not. We came in during happy hour and was told that wine was not a part of the happy hour, even though it's posted on the wall and menu we had to show the waitress and then it was a small pour of wine. Our waters were never refilled, the waitress never even came back to the table after our food was delivered. I ordered the fish and chips. I will say that while the fries were good, the fish was pretty much not edible. The breading was super thick and mushy, almost wet on the inside as if it wasn't cooked all the way and the fish didn't have any flavor. We only saw our waitress again when it was time to deliver the bill. For the price and the service it's not worth your time.

    We have eaten here many times and love the atmosphere- especially the outdoor area so when planning an anniversary party we decided to see if it would meet our needs. It was a wonderful choice. With the time of year we planned on renting the bourbon room and doing our own decorations. For food and drinks we decided on a charcuterie table and personalized menu. We were very pleased with the end result and all of the guests loved the venue.

    Our service was good. The manager (assuming) even came out and made sure we were warm on the patio. The food though... we had the "Brew Yard Balls". They were definitely cooked from frozen because they came cold in the middle. I had split one with my fiancé and her parents split one (so 2 out of 4) we all determined they were cold. Told our server and she took them back and served us 2 more... still not warm in the middle. The Caston flat bread was just such a disappointment for $13.99. Flavor not bad but the bread was soggy and the portion small. It was worth maybe $3.99. I had the "Original Brew Yard Burger", it was cooked well done when I had asked for medium. I was the last to be served so I just managed to chew through it. My fiancé had a Caesar salad and chose not to have a protein for an additional $10.00 because the food was not impressing her at that point and didn't want to be disappointed. Then the salad came out with soft and chewy croutons (gross). What a disappointment . For a table of 6 we spent $325 with tip. Justifiable if the food was good but it definitely was not.

    One of my friends recommended this place for brunch and it was SO GOOD. Everything from the food, drinks and service was amazing. Definitely recommend the mimosa flight and the spicy honey chicken sandwich! The Bloody Mary was the best one we’ve had anywhere must try! Will definitely be back for their patio

    The food was awesome! My hostess was the sweetest little thing, I think her name was Haley. She got our drinks out to us immediately and answered any questions we had. The atmosphere was just lovely and I would definitely recommend coming here for some family time and a good meal. Will be back soon with some friends!

    Appeared to be an overcooked, frozen beef patty. Fries were good. Atmosphere and service great! I tend to judge a restaurant on their burger prep. Maybe next time.

    Great drink selection and atmosphere. A little pricy for what you get. Appetizers we had were fine, nothing to rave about.

    The wife and I enjoyed our time here as part of a private party that was held in the back room. We enjoyed the whole experience with fantastic food and hard to find libations as well as a very comfortable and casual atmosphere. The only thing that might have been better than the food was the amazing service! The bartender was especially attentive and helpful!

    Been there a ton of times, the food is always great, service is always great, great draft beer, and their bourbon room & selections are better than pretty much anywhere. If i could rate it higher than 5 stars, I would. Plus there's plenty for little kids (ours is almost 2) to munch on. Fries, Mac n cheese, boneless wings aka nuggies, etc.

    I rarely write reviews. So please read the entire review. As a matter of fact, I've only written one bad review in my 61 years, and it happened to be Caston & Main Brew Yard several years ago. We stopped going for quite awhile. But after several months we decided to give it another try. So glad we did, as we are now regulars. We noticed on our first night back that there were many new employees, and a new manager. The menu had changed as well. Service was excellent, as well as the food. Everything was more organized and the staff was far more polite and customer oriented. The manager was going from table to table to ensure that everything was up to par. She assisted servers, cleared tables, etc. Last night we finally called her over and asked her name. I just wanted the owner to know that Amanda has turned the entire restaurant around. What a gem they found when they hired her. On a side note our waiter, Troy, was excellent last night, and we were shocked to learn that it was only his second night working as a waiter. Kudos to Main & Caston Brew Yard!

    We were here in the back bourbon room for a party. The staff was fantastic. I loved my Christmas old fashioned. The pastry on this sausage roll was perfect! We will definitely be back.
