    We visit a lot of breweries and really enjoyed this one! It was a comfortable atmosphere - like a friendly neighborhood restaurant. Lots of space, multiple bathrooms, outdoor seating, spacious booths. Our server was very friendly to us and our young children. The food was delicious! We had the gumbo and power bowl salad, both of which seemed very fresh and were very good.

    I met friends for lunch on a Monday. This is a big place where you can make your own brew. They have another large room with a separate bar in it, that also has 2 virtual golf suites in it. I imagine it gets busy on weekends and evening. We just had lunch and some friends had a drink with lunch. Everyone enjoyed their lunch. I got the pulled pork sandwich and thought it was just ok though. The pork was a little stringy and on the dry side. There was no sauce on it at all. The service was friendly and polite. We did enjoy our time there.

    Amazing craft beer and the food is equally as good. If you want some of the best BBQ in the area, look no further. Their smokehouse wings with dry rub are also good enough reason to come here. White Rajah is a favorite of most people but they are sure to have something you like if IPA’s aren’t your thing.

    They have a good selection of beers and food at this location, but I’m sorry I like the Amherst location a little better for a couple of reasons. It took a while for us to get seated and there were 2 other parties in front of us. There was no hostess around and my husband was getting impatient. The nachos at Amherst’s location definitely taste better. These seemed like they were sitting out for a bit. I’m also not sure if the size of the nachos have shrunk or there’s something else going on, but there was definitely a noticeable difference. The server was nice, but seemed a little impatient and we felt like we were a little rushed during our dinner. Not sure what was going on! Their black bean burger was really good- but again, it seemed a little smaller that the Amherst location. The fries and fried green beans were fabulous, and completely on point. I had to request for the remoulade separately, which the server did bring to us immediately. Overall this place is good.

    Came here for burger week and was sorely disappointed with their "Burgerdilla." It was very bland, I've had better fast food burgers. But my kids enjoyed their kid dishes and my sweet potato fries were actually pretty good. Service was good too and it's nice and roomy inside, definitely family friendly too. So overall a 4 star experience, but probably not going to return.

    This was our first visit since they updated/changed over the entire menu, and I have to say we were super impressed and cannot wait to come back! My husband had the brisket burger, I had the dos tacos, and our kiddo had the kids chicken tenders and fries. Everything was absolutely delicious!

    I am visiting from CT and my friend wanted to take me to brew beer at the Brew Kettle. I had such a great time. It was fun weighing the grains and hops and the staff were so knowledgeable and friendly. There were tables to eat and drink at and the service was wonderful. I enjoyed the food as well. My burger in the picture looks pink because I ordered it rare. I got the Pig out burger. It was a beef patty with bacon and pulled pork on top!!

    Long and short been coming for years. Will not be back. Chili was barely what I’d call warm, got charged 12 dollars for a SIDE of onion petals, clearly marked as five dollars. Was told I wasn’t able to order a side, but the side and the app at the same size anyway so it doesn’t matter which I was wrung in for, and I could only order a side if I got an entree. We’d order 2 bowls of chili and that. The onion petals were the side. Would have been great to know upon ordering, but without it being clearly marked in the menu nor my bartender giving me any heads up, I was baffled to see the 7 dollar difference for something that not only should have been five, but was then told they’re the same thing.

    Went downhill. Used to LOVE it. Ordered the burrito and a side salad with ranch. The burrito had barely any meat in it. It was all tortilla. The salads ranch is no longer their dill ranch. It tastes just like hidden valley. We used to be weekly visitors then started getting discouraged, then gave it another chance recently and realized we left for the right reasons.

    Seasonal vegetables are microwave asparagus. 1 bite, throw it in the trash, or make an asparagus wreath. Cole slaw was tasty, but the presentation was scary. Bison burger, decent. Wouldn't return!

    I have been to other Brew Kettle locations and had a great meal. Glad to see the Strongsville location met my expectations! The food was very good. I had the "locals" plate that came with pierogi's and sausage and it was great. The sausage had some kick to it which I was very happy with (was not expecting it). My son ordered the expedition burger with bison and elk and my wife had the shrimp and grits. I did not think shrimp and grits were a good combination... but I was wrong. It was very good. Obviously they had a very large on tap beer selection with their own brews as well as many from the surrounding areas. Great to see the local support. Besides the dining area, there was a very large bar section with it's own seating. There are Top Golf simulators available but we did not try those.

    Wanted to try their food again, since a new Brunswick Brew Kettle is coming soon. The food was very good, creamy chicken and rice soup was great , and the Cajun chicken pasta was fresh tasting , with perfect flavor! Their food was much better than I remembered. Now I'm super excited about the new restaurant opening!

    I thought it would be cooler. We sat on the patio, which ended up being picnic tables. I ordered the BBQ sampler and it was just dry frozen meat warmed up. It just wasn't good. The fried green beans were decent and the coleslaw was good. But the meat just tasted like a chain restaurant. I personally wouldn't go back. The waitress/ service was a 8 out of ten. But for getting a BBQ sampler, I only got one napkin and had to stop eating because of it. The beer was good.

    Went there to brew a batch of beer. Very helpful , knowledgeable and friendly staff. I highly recommend this business

    I have patronized Brew Kettle since its beginning. The beer has always been great. However, the last two dining experiences were not very good. Today was very disappointing. They were not busy. Yet, the hostess had zero personality. Then our waitress acted like she would rather be someplace else. We got our order in. And it took forever. Like over twice as long as it used to be. Our food showed up. And my wifes burger was very bland. My son ordered spaghetti and it showed up like it had been sitting under the heat lamp. He couldnt eat it. I got the fish. It was good. Cole slaw was great as always. But, the mac and cheese was like my sons pasta. It had been sitting under a heat lamp. My beer was refreshing. Im writing this because after all the years i have patronized the establishment. Its not what it used to be. Quality of food and service has changed.

    Truly a lovely experience. I had a rough go at the airport and my friends were delayed by 4 hours but Karen and the other staff at Brew Kettle SV absolutely went above and beyond to turn what was a frustrating almost 6 hours into a delicious, and enjoyable time. Beers are amazing. Atmosphere is awesome. Food is great. 5/5 stars for sure. Thanks yall!

    There's a drink here for everyone and the food is amazing! Definitely planning to come back and try more of their menu!

    We discovered the Brew kettle during a trip to Lowes in the area early last year. From the street, it looks like it is just a little restaurant in a strip mall location. Once you go inside, you realize they occupy almost the entire building. It's quite a large overall footprint with lots of seating. We have always had a great experience during each of our visits. Most recently, we were celebrating a birthday and brought some folks that had never been there before. As we were being seated, we originally sat at a booth. A couple of our party were uncomfortable as the booths are quite shallow from back of seat to table top, so we ended up asking to move to a table location instead. Which resolved the issue no problem. Food wise, the table ordered the Bavarian pretzel appetizer and the buffalo chicken dip. I absolutely adore the pretzel, it comes to the table very hot, very soft, and perfectly baked each time. Not a huge fan of the beer cheese (in general, nothing wrong with their version) but the honey mustard is unique and quite good. The buffalo dip was quite good and the first time we had tried it. The pretzel paired well using the dip as a dipping sauce. Entree wise, I got the Cobb salad with the dill ranch dressing, we also got the chicken tenders with fries, and the fish and chips dinner. My Cobb salad was consistent with the other times I have ordered it and is a good dinner portion size for sure. The fish and chips, from what I was told, was quite good but not quite to the level as they claim on the menu as "just like how Arthur treacher used to make" Overall service was excellent and the waitress was very responsive at the table and stayed on top of beverages and boxes. If you are in the area, the menu has enough variety you are sure to find something to try for sure.

    Great place to go for a drink or a bite. Service is consistently good and their food is tasty - especially the burrito. It's a must have. Plus, if you like beer, there's plenty to choose from and always a rotating selection of brews.

  • 5/5 Matthew B. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here on a recommendation from a friend - I can't say enough good things about this place. We made our own beer which turned out great, and the food has been absolutely phenomenal both times we've been there (the meatloaf was so good I got it twice). If you're looking for a cool experience - do this. My highest recommendation.

    Went to TBK for lunch with my husband. Ordered the quesadilla with chicken. According to the menu, you can add SMOKED chicken or pulled pork. Got the quesadilla and it wasn't fantastic. Not bad... but definitely not what we were expecting. Then we get the check, and it says GRILLED chicken!!! My husband asked why we got grilled chicken and the server said she just assumed we wanted grilled chicken. I asked why would she assume that when the menu clearly says smoked. And she said she always just assumes people want grilled chicken. Why on earth would you assume that when you work at a place that's known for its smoked meat!?!? We would have stayed and ordered more food and drinks but it was such a disappointment that we just ended up leaving. Can't say we'll be back any time soon...

    Happy to see the Black Rajah back. My pulled pork sandwich was just as good as homemade. Lots of great beers on tap!

  • 2/5 Dinesh S. 2 years ago on Google
    Had great beers, average food, and mixed experience!!!! 5 stars for beers!!! The first lady assigned to serve us was super rude when we decided to sit on different table. She cleaned the top but bottom of that table was filthy (rice scattered all over the base of the table), so we asked to sit on different table, and she was super mad about it. I feel bad to make her angry but nobody likes to sit on a dirty table. Getting mad with customers because they choose clean & open table is unacceptable!!! Very thankful to second guy who came to serve us, and he was super nice!!! Saved our night.

    We love The Brew Kettle and are so glad we found this place. When we want some delicious BBQ, this is the place! Excellent customer service and they have all been friendly every single time. Food is absolutely amazing too!

    Beer is as good as always. Their food continues to be well prepared. The coleslaw is delicious. I love that horseradish dill flavor. I am that in their paring down of the menu, they removed my favorite lamb burger.

    Smells good as soon as you open the door. Must try the smokehouse wings 👌 A hometown bar feel with good service.

    First time experience brewing on premise, and the guys were awesome!

  • 5/5 Andrea C. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to an early dinner with our two toddlers. Food was great. Staff was great. It’s hard to find a restaurant with a good vibe and one that doesn’t mind children and this hit the spot. We will be back.

  • 5/5 Louisa H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent beer, most of it brewed in house, plus tasty and filling pub food. Generous portions and helpful, friendly service. Wooden 4-person booths (now with added plexiglass partitions above them) line the space, with a few free standing tables in the middle of the floor, which can be positioned together to accommodate larger groups. Our questions about dietary restrictions were answered quickly and confidently and they were happy to do things like splitting a sandwich between two guests. This is not a Michelin star, gourmet experience, but it is a solid brewpub where you’ll have a consistently positive experience. (The assisted brewing side of the house is also great. You first choose from a wide range of beer styles. Helpful and knowledgeable brewers guide you through the initial brewing process, then they oversee the fermentation for you, before you come back a few weeks later to bottle. Just be warned you do end up with quite a bit of beer!)

    About 30 taps. Almost half their own brew. Full bar. Some wine. Excellent food menu. Had Oktoberfest and Gumbo. 👍

  • 2/5 Chad R. 1 year ago on Google
    Got the Triple Pig and it barely had any meat on it. Had to combine the 2 sandwiches to have enough meat for one. Mac and cheese was dry. Coleslaw was good. Drinks were good.
