    Nice place. Friendly server and the beer was so flavorful wow! Would of rated 5 stars but the burger patties were frozen probably from Sysco or something premade and not very good. Green Chile and bacon was flavorful tho!

    Lizard Tail was fantastic! I tried four different beers over two days (there is 3 beer limit per person per visit) and they were all great! The Reptilian is a big tasting single IPA. Black IPAs are rare, and thankfully the Desert Night India Black didn't disappoint! I also thought that the Legless DIPA was about as good an example of a West Coast style double as you will find anywhere outside San Diego. They also have tasty grub with some good vegetarian options. I tried and loved the cauliflower tacos. The service was friendly and the place was comfortable. I look forward to going back!

    I have been coming here for over a year and have to say its one of the best brew houses in town! Drea always takes care of me and is extremely attentive to everyone's needs. The food is great and the beer even better. Would highly suggest making a stop in to unwind!

    Lizards Tail is a welcoming and fun place to enjoy some amazing beers and awesome food. Our server Alicia (leash) is always in a wonderful mood, and always so welcoming. She makes sure our time there is always memorable. We always leave with our stomachs full and our checks hurting from laughing so much!

    We were there for a birthday dinner. The table was set up and decorated for us—nothing extravagant, but so lovely. Service was great—efficient and very friendly! Food was delicious! Everyone loved it! We’ll be back!

    Had a wonderful time here tonight! Tried all of the beers, they were on point. I love Red Lagers and this one was really good. Food was plentiful and delicious. The green chili was amazing. Met & chatted with Tara. What her and Ryan are doing with this little "industrial park" corner is amazing. Keep up the good work... we'll be back.

    Great location. Casual atmosphere. If you are into craft brews then Lizard Tail Brewing should be on your list of places to go. The food menu is has so etching for every taste, including the kids. Bar staff are knowledgeable and most of all, friendly! Monday nights they host an open mic night to showcase local comedy talent.

    I’ve been following this brewery on social media for over a year and this place was so worth the wait. The building and design had a lot of thought put it into it which in turn provides visitors with a great open yet intimate atmosphere. The beer selection is excellent! Solid permanent beer list and the pumpkin seasonals were phenomenal. The food menu is really good, I had the Mediterranean plate and it was great. To top this off the service was so friendly and attentive. What a great place, I can’t wait to go back.

    I can't say enough positive about this place. We are here on a Tuesday afternoon. The staff is really inviting and I felt like we were hanging out with friends. The brews. OMG. Not one was bad. They even have thier own pilsnar and others for the Budweiser guys like my husband. Just had the trio chips and Blanco queso (and even the chips were made by the chef) but I'm going back Friday for my birthday. I just have to decide what I want!

    Food was delicious, fries were 100% better this go around than last time I was here. Beer is, to me, hit and miss...tried the double chocolate stout, which had very little chocolate flavor. The Cherry Mead was the best we had during our visit. Our server was extremely nice and took care of us. Would come back for food and service.

    The stout and the chimi were great! They weren't busy, but it was hard to get our waitress attention.

  • 5/5 Paul A. 2 months ago on Google • 23 reviews New
    Straight solid IPAs. All the beer/ Meads we got were good. They no longer have food in house, but the food truck on their patio was also really good. The guys in it were totally trying to go gormet. I'll definitely recommend.

    Great experience. They have a lot of beer of tap options in different styles. The staff are friendly and attentive. There were small items to entertain the kids. The food was delicious and portions sizes were generous. Overall fantastic find!

    Great beer and food! Trivia is a lot of fun on Tuesday nights too.

  • 5/5 Markus J. 2 years ago on Google
    Really entertaining karaoke on Friday nights. A food and beer menu with a lot of variety. And great table service by the wait staff. I recommend the Spicy Fried Cauliflower.

    Had a wonderful time, food and employees are great. Gabby was our bartender and she was so friendly and wonderful to be around…her specially secret is she’s also a “Plummer” Definitely recommend to come for food and drinks

    The Irish Red I had was absolutely refreshing & not too heavy. Our food was VERY well cooked and served in a timely manner. However, while we were sitting and enjoying the drinks & food, I saw a cook named Adam not on duty with his wife sitting at the bar, looking extremely hung over or uncaring about people coming in. I then asked my waitress if he was cooking our food because if he was, I was going to throw up, He was sitting at the bar looking busy on a laptop with an xbox remote picking his nose several times. So disgusting. He and his wife would go to the back of the kitchen or brew house, not sure why, but they're whole body language, demeanor & attitudes were VERY unattractive for the high quality I know this place gives. Deja and the cook on duty did absolutely amazing even when it got busy. But if I know Adam is cooking, I will refuse to order food.

    Been here several times. Good beer amazing food. A little bit out of the way so I haven't ever seen it too busy but still has a nice brewpub atmosphere

  • 5/5 Marcos E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great first experience. Reptilian IPA was good kids enjoyed the lemonade and the food was great. Had burgers and the fried smothered chicken. Good price point. Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 The Benner F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has a great beer flight (6x beers of 5 ozs each) and not only is their bacon delicious, they don't skimp adding it to their dishes. Not a huge outdoor patio but I thoroughly enjoyed this place. Worth the visit.

    We were driving through from NC to AZ, stopped at many places to eat and this one was by far the most satisfying meal for my family. Staff was awesome, we would definitely come back if we pass through Albuquerque again.

  • 3/5 Barron J. 1 year ago on Google
    This place had a nice atmosphere and the service was outstanding. However, the food wasn't the best. I think it was overpriced because of the really skimpy portions. My Philly cheese steak sandwich had very little meet and clearly wasn't worth the $13 or $14. And my dining companion quickly devoured the three very small fish tacos. I have the taste was there. It is just, two hour later, I need to find more food because of the very skimpy portions.

    Second time there and was a huge disappointment. Waitress rarely came back to check on us, never took our order for dinner only got to appetizers and drinks then completely ignored us. She and other waitresses tended to customers around us. We tried to be patient and understanding but we thought this was strange since when other customers around us were able to get refills on drinks and hot food served. Completely disappointed because our first time there was a better experience.

    The food and beer is great and all but tonight they were hosting a birthday party for someone the employees must have known, as cool as that is if you only want to entertain a party then close to the public. Don’t stay open and ignore people coming in to eat and drink. I was ignored for 20 minutes upon arrival then another 20 after getting my first drink and waiting for my chips and queso sitting in the window for 15 minutes, our waitress was trying her best to help everyone not sitting at the bar so I appreciate her but the other people working were just chatting with people they knew. We gave the waitress our card to pay after 1 beer and the appetizer and it took another 15 minutes to get our card back And I had to go get it because we just wanted to leave. We wanted to have a nice night out before Valentine’s Day and honestly this was a very bad experience, hate to have to give this review but it is what it is.
