Ogle County Brewery

"I have to say the inside of this place is beautiful. You can get lost just looking around. bathrooms were clean. However the food was not our cup of tea. The sandwiches Meat was all chopped up with all the dressings almost like a tuna salad or something. I had the brisket sandwich (5) and fries (10). My wife had chicken (5). We also had some pork kind of like ribblet's those were great (8). The cocktails made perfect. The price was very high $62.20 not including the tip, Although I don't think we will be back to eat here we definitely will be back for a cocktail. Thank you Ogle County brewery for feeding us."

"Worst customer service. The tables were full, but plenty of bar seating, perfect, or so we thought. The fella behind the bar stood there talking to his friends and poured their beer while we sat there for 15+ min. He didn't even acknowledge us. The only waitress was swamped with tables, while he did nothing. Several other people who arrived after us also walked out, all without being served. We won't be back."

"I would've loved to give the food 5 stars... But I cannot. I ordered the special: bacon brisket burger with fries. The presentation was beautiful, but the first bite was not what I expected. The brisket was dry and tough. The bun, although tasty, was entirely too big for the meat patty. Very skimpy on the meats, and the sandwich definitely needed mayo to compensate for the small amount of aioli on the bun. The jalapenos were delicious, but pickled jalapenos usually are! The fries were okay, but I was extremely surprised that there were no condiments at the table so we were halfway done with the burgers before the help (sauces) arrived. They serve Pepsi products and I feel like the fountain mix needs some calibration... Pepsi was entirely too sweet. Overall just disappointed with the food. But the female server was absolutely delightful and on top of managing the entire bar and dining area solo. Very impressive indeed."

"We enjoyed our experience but don't think we will make it back any time soon. The buildout of this brew pub is quite nice. They used a lot of previous materials and local antique items to give the place a wonderful look. It was interesting just to look around the room. Service was painfully slow and uninspiring. There's a comfort level with walking past you that I don't understand. They had 4 of their own beers, but one tap wasn't working. The beers are ok, nothing needed a second serving. Flatbread was pretty good. Brisket sandwich was overpowered by the toasted sesame seeds on the bun. It was just ok. I hope they can keep their vision and keep improving."

"Speedy, thorough, helpful with the beer menu, friendly service. Can't wait to return. Had the Brisket pizza, pretzel bites, smoked gouda curds. All very good. Spoke with the owner Brian, nice guy!"
