Manitou Brewing Company 725 Manitou Avenue, Manitou Springs, CO 80829

"So glad my boyfriend knew about this place. I became disenchanted with craft beer a long time ago cause its always the same unimpressive bitter options at like every brewery. Not here! I got a flight and loved all 4 of them. Food was fantastic. It's been forever since I've been to a restaurant that had an actual homemade veggie burger patty and not that Impossible burger garbage that has plagued the entire industry. But what always makes me happy is good service. The staff here was GREAT! Fast, attentive, friendly. So hard to come by usually. The service was well above my usual experience anywhere I go. Whenever I'm back in Manitou I'll be here."

"Cute little brew pub in Manitou Springs. The food is what one might expect. We had Brussels sprouts, beef burgers, quinoa burgers and vegetarian tacos. The beer was mediocre. The service was lackluster at best."

"Found this little gem while walking around Manitou Springs and we unanimously agreed that it was one of the best meals we had on vacation. We paid less than $100 (with tip). The staff was welcoming and patient. Our waitress was amazing. She was quite busy, but she remained attentive and didn’t lose her friendliness. The atmosphere was laid back and cozy. We ordered the carnitas nachos and chicken and leek soup. The carnitas were juicy and flavorful. The cheese on the nachos perfected this dish. It was creamy, salty, a little spicy and they didn’t skimp. Initially, I had reservations with the soup because there was a layer of oil just sitting atop, but once you mixed everything, it was delicious. The soup was rich and comforting. I also ordered their blueberry cider and that was just a glass of happiness."

"We ordered the mac n cheese with pulled pork, brussels sprouts, and harvest salad. The harvest salad and brussels sprouts were delicious! Pretty decent portions for both. The mac n cheese was a bit underwhelming. The sauce is watery and ends up at the bottom of the cup, so the noodles generally felt lacking. The pulled pork was good, but the portion was pretty small. We would definitely come back here. Though a bit on the pricier end, the food and service was good, and we enjoyed the hazy IPAs and sours that we tried!"

"We enjoyed this restaurant and beer so much we had to come back and only a little over 1900 miles. We had the tacos burgers and beer on my. Tried the flight of beers and got a chance to meet the brew master. Food was delicious and will definitely come back next trip to the north."
