I don’t like writing negative reviews and the only reason I do is so that the owners will see it and make the proper adjustments.
I really wanted to like this place, came here for a date night with my girlfriend and had high expectations.
I ordered the KBZ way burger as it said it was their signature smashburger, first things first though it’s not a smashburger. It’s a regular third pound or half pound patty, I have no idea why they call them smashburgers when it’s obvious that they are not. Secondly when I received the burger the bun was so soggy that it was falling apart from the juices, I actually like a good burger cooked medium but since it’s supposed to be a smashburger they didn’t take a temperature and it came out medium / medium rare and leaking juices so bad that the bun was more like a soggy cotton ball. Also, I’m a big fan of thick cut bacon when it’s crispy but this was not, it had a rubbery texture and as soon as you took one bite the whole bacon piece came out, it was not cooked through properly.
I didn’t want to send the burger back so I just asked the server if I could have a fresh bun since she also saw how soggy the one I had was, she apologized and said she would get one for me. The place wasn’t very busy at the time but it took her at least 15 minutes for a bun and by then the burger was cold so I didn’t eat it especially since we were sitting outside and it was cooked so rare. The manager never came by or acknowledged anything, so we’ll probably never come back. The server Lily was friendly though and seemed competent, I think she just might have spaced it about the bun or the kitchen was dragging.

I came just for the tenderloin and had the lunch half loin and a side salad. I have just started my tenderloin quest and only visited a few but this is the best I’ve had so far. The meat was nice and thick and juicy. The breading was absolutely perfect. It was crispy and not hard. Very tasty and well seasoned. The bun was pretty fancy and I had lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and mayo. The half sandwich was bigger than the bun so the full sandwich would be plenty to share. Unless you love a large tenderloin. And the price for $12. It was amazing. The salad was good but frankly the tenderloin was so good that I just savored it. Our group loved the patio.

Massive portions. The fried mushrooms are always a favorite. I had the chicken parm sandwich tonight & could only eat 1/3 of it. High quality & very reasonably priced.

We had a rather large group and arrived on Saturday night and they seated us quickly. Really friendly service. Large portions, good selection of beer, and great sodas made in-house. Kickin’ Bourbon Burger was great. Real nice onion rings. Would be happy to go back if I’m ever in the area again.

Amazing food and service!! My mom has an onion allergy, so both our waitress and the GM went ABOVE AND BEYOND to accommodate. The GM went into the kitchen and personally made a new custom meal just for her. It was delicious!! We also enjoyed Big 4 and Bird Dog Brown Ale Nitro. Both were smooth and tasty! We will add this brewery to our annual stop down to Florida for sure!!

This was my first time eating here. I sat at the bar and was quickly greeted by Chelsea. I let her know it was my first time here and she gave great advise on the menu. I decided on the tenderloin. The food came out hot, the tenderloin was cooked perfect and was amazing. Everything about the food, beer and service was great. Will be returning!

I wish I would have caught the bartender’s name. She recommended the BLT and as a bacon maker myself, I was hesitant but went with it. No, not just because she was cute.. but that was half the reason. Best BLT I’ve ever had. Huge fried portobello mushrooms paired with a dynamite horseradish dip. Nice refreshing house salad with ballsmack vinaigrette.
Cozy atmosphere with views of the brewery. Unfortunately I cannot drink beer, but the people next to me said there isn’t a bad choice.
Highly recommend!

Despite showing up with a large group on a Saturday, we were seated quickly and received really friendly service. The food was the highlight: the Kickin’ Bourbon Burger was great, and the real nice onion rings were delicious. They offer large portions, a good beer selection, and awesome in-house sodas. This is a solid spot, and I would be happy to go back if I’m ever nearby.

I stopped by for dinner one evening and had a nice meal here. There’s a good variety of beers and ciders to try, and everything I tried was pretty decent. They had some interesting sounding stouts that I probably should’ve sampled, but maybe another time. I ordered the tenderloin sandwich, and it was massive. All of the food tasted great, but I wasn’t quite up to quantity. Still, the tenderloin was very crispy while remaining tender inside. The fries were excellent too. My only issue was that the service was a tad slow, but I think they had seen a particularly busy day just before that. Still, it made for a good meal in Lebanon, IN.
