Our first trip to Galena. Sorry we wasted one of our 3 meals here. Food was fine-typical bar food, but the service was some of the worst we have ever had. The bartenders (yes there were 2 working together to almost completely ignore us) must...conduct social experiments where they pick customers to ignore and then see how long it takes for said customers to question their own sanity. My husband and I sat at the bar and were given a beer menu only after asking. Everyone else sitting at the bar received a greeting and beer, cocktail and food menus. We looked up the food menu online instead of trying to get the attention of the bartenders. When we were able to get their attention and place an order they acted very put upon. My first beer sat empty for 15 minutes before one of the two bartenders asked if I wanted something else. Same thing when we tried to pay our bill-it sat on the bar with our credit card for another 15 minutes. There seemed to be a lot of people working and their main job appeared to be eating and drinking in the room just off if the bar. Terrible service. Would not return.More

This is a good brewery in Galena. We had a flight, and we enjoyed all of our beers. We had wanted to get food, but we were unable to get helped until we had finished our flight so we decided to pass on any food.

The atmosphere was quiet and open with plenty of seating. We ordered an appetizer which was very good and enjoyed by all of us. The entrees took a little bit to arrive but the experience was a good one. Food was very tasty and our...server was pleasant. Overall I would recommend stopping in.More

Good assortment of beers unfortunately they were out of some we wanted to try. Two dollars per sample sold in flights of 4 or 6. Huge fresh pretzel was soft and tasty. Limited decor

This is a fun atmosphere. The new owners have opened the space up and have launched a new menu. The food was awesome, quick, and very reasonably priced. Live music and great beer what more could you want?

Heard that they had new owners, so we thought to try them Sunday evening. We arrived at about 5:10 and waited for at least 5 minutes for some one to seat us or even acknowledge us (the restaurant was about 1/3 occupied). I then proceeded...to the bar and asked the bartender if we could eat at the bar, she said we could, we sat down and once again was completely ignored ( only 2 other customers were seated at the bar). We waited until 5:25 and left without any staff member ever acknowledging our presence- can’t say service was bad since we didn’t have any at all, not even a hello -More

Hard to complain about service when restaurants everywhere are understaffed but I will. One bartender handling all alcohol orders is not enough. We sat at the bar both days we went and had trouble getting a beer both times. Second time we went we got...food which was mediocre at best. I was told they were out of fries (?!) so I ordered “beer chips” which were generic chips out of a bag for sure. Just tell me you are out of those too. Food came out quickly. Will try again if we find ourselves in Galena but only if it seems that they have their act together.More

Came here for lunch on a Saturday with a friend. Had the bison burger with the potato salad. The potato salad was excellent. Food came out fast and our server, Chris, was very friendly and helpful.

Wife and I stopped by the Galena Brewing Company for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Place was moderately busy at the time of arrival, but most of the lunch crowd seemed to have cleared up by then. Most of the remaining patrons were...sitting and having drinks. We were greeted and seated shortly after arriving. Our waiter, although busy with multiple tables, was friendly and attentive throughout our entire visit. He did a good job explaining menu option; both beer selections as well as food choices. Wife tried a flight of six of their brews. We ordered the macaroni bite appetizer to enjoy with our drinks while we waited for our meals. We ordered a chicken bacon ranch wrap and a chicken taco wrap for our main courses, which we shared the other halves with each other. Taco wrap was excellent! The ranch wrap was also good, but I wasn‘t as wowed as I had been by the taco wrap. Fries were baked, which were good but a different taste and texture than I’m normally used to. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food that you get. Portions are decent sized as well. Would definitely return again the next time we’re visiting the Galena area.More

The good - Beer was good and we enjoyed the beer cheese soup. The Bad - We waited at the host stand for close to 10 minutes before someone finally waited on us despite servers walking by and ingnoring us. We watched this happen to...others as well, some just left. Our server was pleasant but didn't stop by often. We finished our food while still waiting for our second beer which we could see sitting on the bar. The burger was among the worst we ever had, think leftover meatloaf left in the oven long enough to remove any bit of moisture that could have existed in the meat. Would have been better off getting McDonalds! We did complain and she gave us half off, had she bothered to show up earlier in the meal we probably would have sent it back. Might be a good place to stop at the bar and have a beer but there are too many other good restaurants in Galena to justify eating hereMore
