    I think I died and went to Valhalla. Our group had an amazing meal here. As a Brit we know our fish and chips and the version here was very good. The burger was an absolute monster that belongs in Norse legend, bring climbing gear to scale this one! The staff were friendly and efficient. The Viking room had a good atmosphere and was busy but not overcrowded.

    Yummy food, friendly staff and great location. California weather makes just about every day a good day to sit outside and take in all the activity on the main drag. Carnitas Street tacos are tasty and their beer and seltzers on tap are good too! Only one drawback. It always seems to take a while to make your way through the line to order… you order and pay upfront and then your food is delivered to your table.

    Really nice place, and people, great food too! We really enjoyed our meal, all of the things we ordered were really good. The sausage sampler was great, very good sausage and some pickled veggies and sauerkraut. Very nicely paired. I'm told that the chicken wings were good and they bulgogi pulled pork sandwich was also very good. The service was excellent, very nice people here. Highly recommend!

    Amazing restaurant with great food and decor. It’s a popular restaurant, so be aware of the waiting time. The nacho is size of a mountain, they are very generous with the meat inside, it’s very tasty, I recommend to share this dish with 3-4 people.

    Out of all the restaurants we ate on our 4 state 2500 mile Harley ride, Solvang Brewing Company had the best food. The portions are large and the flavors were fabulous. Highly recommend.

    I went to Solvang on Labor Day 2021, and came out for dinner after staying at 6: 00 pm. Many restaurants have been closed. It took two blocks to find this place. You can order beer here, and there are salads, hamburgers and others. We ordered chicken salad, fried chicken wings and chicken legs, and mixed pizza. The best food is pizza, thin and soft, followed by fried chicken wings and chicken legs, with sweet and sour taste and salad. The waiting time is too long, sorry, only three stars!

    First of all its nice to discover and visit Solvang (the city). When I was wandering down the street I saw this Brewery and me and my wife decided to visit it. Nice selection of beer, good food and great atmosphere. Here’s few photos from that place!

    The customer service is excellent.... Everyone was kind, quick and knowledgeable.. Ordered the wings and sausage sampler... Everything tasted great! Only thing I noticed... I'm a flats only girl.... And all but two of my wings were flats.. so I know in the future to request at least half flats..

    Came here for lunch 3/25/23 We opted for the “server” type of service instead of ordering yourself at the bar, since the line was quite long. Our server was ANDREA she was very attentive, super nice. We had the carnitas nachos and they were delicious- thank you for the good service :)

    Excellent atmosphere, an incredible place, unparalleled attention, and absolutely delicious beer. Yesterday, we stopped by in the afternoon for a beer after exploring the entire town of Solvang. It's a shame that when we arrived, the kitchen had just closed; I would have loved to try the pretzel. The person who served us was super cordial; you can tell they get along like a family, and that vibe is contagious! We ordered the lager and the Copenhagen Red Ale; the latter was simply wow! Very, very good beer! The place is spacious with plenty of available seating, and right in front, there is a large, free public parking lot. An excellent place to stop for a beer or for a meal!

    Really bad service and awful food. The burger was cold, really cold, and the nachos lacked cheese. Also, flies and bees all over the place. In addition, 18% up-front tips on all CC transactions. They ought to replace their entire service staff, except for the guy collecting the dishes, he was the only polite employee. Almost forgot, their staff member didn't want to clean the table!

    Stopped for a quick bite here, food quality and service was good! Beer was definitely the winner though we tried the IPA, lager and raspberry wheat and all were delicious. Definitely worth a try if you're ever in Solvang

    The service was pretty good. It was the day after Christmas and the place was packed. By the time our food came the fries and onion rings were cold. I had the Santa Maria tri tip and the bar-b-que sauce had a bit of a spice to it.

    Came onto town to catch rocket launchat Vandenberg in Lompoc. Stopped for and had the bestest artichokes appetizers ever. Ended up coming back to dinner. Highly recommend.

    Came in on Halloween with a friend from out of state, and it was amazing. The beer was delicious, the burgers were phenomenal! So happy they were open on that Tuesday, it was the perfect end to my friend's trip to California.

    Self order and food is delivered to you table in less than 30mins, Got the Smoked Pulled Pork Sando Very tasty, bit on the hot side, but still good with a cold drink with it. Fries were done perfectly. Loved the open space, but as soon as the food comes, so does the flies :/ Had some of the All American Burger, it was ok compared to the Pulled Pork flavour, but was a good break from the overpowering sauce of the Pork.

    Cool place to hangout and the beer was good. Ordered the bourbon stout and it was delicious, but the solvang lager was average. Plenty of space to sit down and very welcoming to pets and family. Bartender service was a bit lacking though, I was waiting for the bartenders to change the tv channel for 5 minutes before they took our order. Parking is limited, but it's easily walkable from everywhere else. Would return.

    Situated perfectly in the center of town, this full service brewery has it all! Great food, unique brews, and top notch service! The outdoor dining area is situated right on the main street, so you get to see all of the action passing through town.

  • 5/5 Martin S. 11 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff and really large plates. We enjoyed the food and the excellent selection of homemade beers. Service is fast and food was solid, I would recommend exchanging the fries for onion rings if you choose to go for a platter that offers that. Crispy fried pub food with splendid flavor.

    My visit to Solvang Brewing Company was an absolute delight! Our server was Carlos M and he was the BEST!!!!!! The ambiance of their front seating area was perfect for a sunny day, allowing us to soak up the pleasant weather while enjoying our drinks. I tried their Solvang lager, which was crisp and refreshing, and my girlfriend had the key lime sour. Although it didn't taste strongly of key lime, the overall experience was fantastic. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend this brewery for its welcoming outdoor space and excellent selection of beers. We'll definitely be returning

    I was greeted by an authentic and lively atmosphere that truly embodied the spirit of a brewery. While the food might not have been outstanding, it's important to remember that the primary focus here is on the beer, and in that aspect, Solvang Brewing Company excels. While the food may not be the main attraction, it's worth noting that Solvang Brewing Company offers a selection of dishes to complement their beers. While the food may not be outstanding, it serves as a suitable accompaniment to the main star of the show—the beer itself. Ultimately, the Solvang Brewing Company delivers an authentic and welcoming brewery experience. With a focus on quality craft beers and a lively atmosphere that exudes the essence of a traditional brewery, it provides a great place to relax, socialize, and enjoy the company of fellow beer enthusiasts.

    I believe they may have been short staffed? Not sure. You order, take a number, then find your own seat. Line wasn’t that long but took awhile. Service was not the best. Bartender forgot to pour one of our beers and left to try a beer sample. Lol. We also ordered nachos, they took forever and they were pretty basic. Looks loaded and like they’ll taste delicious but they’re okay. I’d say order something else maybe. They were giving out beer samples of their new mimosa beer which was pretty good. Spacious place, a lot of seating.

  • 3/5 Tammra S. 1 year ago on Google
    3 stars for great staff and good beer. 2 less stars as the food was very mild and didn't have much taste and prices for food were very pricy. Ordered Raspberry beer, was delicious. Tacos were bland as well as the sausage plate was bland. Cool architecture. Plenty of seating. Bar tender was phenomenal. Also- it's so weird in today's age not to give out a wifi password to your guests. Should have a guest wifi.

    The beer was superb 👌 The wait for food was insane though. However it is worth the wait! I ordered the sausage sampler 🤪 If you're here for the beer, you should be good 😁 Cheers 🍻 and Happy Holidays!

    Solvang Brewing Co. is a great spot to grab lunch or dinner in prime Solvang. Great if you are staying at a hotel nearby or just walking through. Staff are good, food is good, I would have to recommend the buffalo wings as an appetizer. Pizza and burgers are also good as well. Overall a decent spot to eat. Recommend!

  • 5/5 Scott G. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, order at the bar. Clean and comfy with 2 big indoor rooms and lots of outdoor seating. 1 room has a small fireplace. Big portions for the salads, solid burger, and pizza was great. Lots of beer to choose from
