We will be back to try the chili and all of their IPAs next time! Good to see a brewery with more malty options than a sleu of IPAs. Variety is killer here!
Mid-Saturday, sunny & hot. The place is well attended, you can tell by the lack of street parking… but they have their own lot.
Decent selection of brews, seating areas, and a short menu from a well installed Food Truck. The Plain Ol’ Smashburger & side Caesar Salad they offer are both very simple, and very tasty.
LOADS of late 20s folks, and a few oldsters like we are… as well as couples w/ kids. Quite a few well behaved humans with dogs, too.
Large yard area (corn hole toss), large bar area, large indoor area.
A few spots w/ shade, is a definite limit to the party space, but is does allow groups to coexist and not have to mix, singles w/ families w/ dogs.
Good beer, goodfood, good venue… if you aren’t having a good time, you brought that with you, you didn’t find it here.
We showed our IDs and ordered the first round of drinks. And proceeded to a very cute outdoor seating area. There are propane bonfires to sit around. The seats are very low to the ground. Which necessarily is not a negative thing. However, when the food came (will talk more about the food later), the seats are difficult to eat in. Unless you want to eat with your head back while you lean backward in the chair. Had to sit on the front edge of the wooden chair. Partner and I kept sliding back.
Now the food. I was sitting and waiting for a menu. No one helped us or explained how to order. There are no menus! But they do have a menu for their draft beers. Pet peeve of mine. Shows me that you are not confident in the food. Not to mention, half of the menu was “sold out.” Bad business for a Friday night. So essentially, my choices were burgers, roasted carrots, or huckleberry bread. I ordered the smoked burger with bacon. Burger was pretty good. NO SIDES. When I pay $20 for a burger, I should get fries or a salad or something.
You have to order on your phone or at the register. Another thing that I hate. Also, sign at the table and ask the customers to bus their own tables. So I paid $20 bucks for a burger and more on drinks, and I do all the work. This morning, I went to a nearby sports bar for brunch. I paid less money for more food and drinks. They had menus and the staff bussed my tables snd asked if we wanted more drinks.
When interacting with staff, they seemed nice and helpful. This is not an attack in them. I see this more as a manager decision to cut costs and give less duties to their team.
I can not recommend this place until they offer fair products for the prices they charge. If you want to charge the amount you do for a basic burger, then I should be taken care of without question or expectation that I will walk to order and bus my own table. It’s interesting that the neighboring bars and restaurants offer that and for much cheaper.
Also got a flight if in-house brews. That was actually pretty good. “Ring of Fire” is a great tasting alcoholic beverage!
But yeah, go somewhere else.
The sausage is on point! The collards with beans are sweet and salty just the way I like them. The white bread is home made and that served with the beef belly. The pickles are homemade. Everything is just so fresh delicious and you can tell that Daryl and management and the people care about the service, beer and the food. I’ll be back! I also heard that there will be heaters and coverage for the rainy season soon! They already have great fire pits.
We have not gotten into a situation where we had to wait a long time, but I’m not sure that situation is resolved since there are the same amount of waitresses.
The food quality isn’t as good as last time. Brisket is overcooked but the pork belly is good.
I will return in the early fall and try again. But definitely a improvement from the spring. One more star.
Btw, I really want this place to succeed.

Great beer, great food. Everything about Old Stove Gardens should be great. But is it not. I truly believe that management expanded too quickly without taking into account of costs.
I came here on a warm Thursday night and waited a whooping 30 minutes for beer and food. The whole system is broken. If you want to do beer, fine. But as soon as you add cocktails into the mix and have the cashier making drinks, the whole model falls apart.
I can see how stressed the waitresses are. Management needs to have more staff, especially for the upcoming summer months. Waiting 30 minutes for drinks when the place is half EMPTY is NOT okay.
To rub salt in the wound, it takes another 10 minutes to change out the water keg. Unacceptable.
I can see the stress in the staffs eyes. Fix it.
I will still revisit as the weather get warmer but if things stay the same, I would not be visiting this location again.
My experience here is very much atypical of the Old Stove experience I’m used to.
