Beer, nachos and jambalaya were all good. Service was on the slow side, seemed like the waitress forgot about us some. Probably one of the coolest brew pubs I have been to.

Great vibe, that is, until we sat down. The waitress ignored us, the touted WBC beer was warm and flat, and the food had the appearance that someone didn't care too much in the kitchen.

Lots of beers to choose from and the food is delicious. Many apps to choose from we got about 5 for the table and they were all outstanding. Love the atmosphere

This week I met an old friend for lunch here because of the positive reviews. Workers were friendly and helpful. We had a nice table in a corner, and we had plenty of leg and elbow room, so the overall experience was positive. The food...and beer were mostly blah. I had a tuna melt and he had a Reuben. I thought mine was a bit bland, and I thought a couple of pickle wedges might have helped. The fries were edible, but nothing special. He ate about three quarters of his sandwich. As for beer, he ordered a pilsner and i had an IPA. Neither of us could tell if we were served the right beer, and we switched them back and forth a couple of times. My IPA had no hoppy overtone. The server said it was "West Coast style." I have had a few West Coast IPAs, so I am wondering, West Coast of what country...where they dispense with hops? This is not a place I will visit again.More

Had high hopes based on the reviews. Based on poor service would not return. Food was decent, but took a very long time to get it. The French Onion soup was really good. Nachos were not as ordered, and the beer flight we ordered never...showed up until we asked about it. Water not refilled timely. Great atmosphere, but need to step up the service and deliverables.More

I will start with , my wife and I met while working in a restaurant, and I still own a food truck, …and all this means is ..I get it. It’s not easy. We have been coming to this place since they Opened. Literally, decades....We went to their OPENING WEEKEND during the ballon festival , and still have the mug to prove it. :) Post Graduation gatherings from grade schools, …from High Schools. Refueling stops coming home from out of town baseball and football games on our way back to Lebanon… While my wife was a student at UCONN we spent many nights battling out trivia with Mensa … good times, great memories. So many good experiences, over the years but after the last few , I will say , we’re not coming back . Which I’m sad to type, but , there are now other better drinking and dining choices that I’m willing to drive the extra miles to go to. And we have a big family. Details: Tonight , when we arrived we we’re seated in the dining room pretty quickly as there were several empty tables. Waitress was nice :) , Placed our drink order, and waited awhile for 2 beers and 3 sodas. While ordering dinner , my wife asked if we could get the burrito without the rice and were told no we could not. This means they are pre rolling their burritos , ok…. Here is our order for my family. Apps: Nachos with chili and calamari. Meals: 2 pre rolled burritos , kids tenders, Caesar Salad w chicken, Onion Soup, and their special Muffaletta Sandwich with truffle fries ( for an up charge). After 30 minutes our apps showed up. Over done calamari, and over cooked Nachos ( which I used to consider to be the best around , not any more by a long shot)… 40 more minutes and our food came out , which was fine, …. Tenders were tenders , pre rolled burritos were pre rolled burritos , soup was soup , salad salad , but eh. These are quick things to roll out of a kitchen , c’mon . The Muffaletta Sandwich … the iconic delicious legendary sandwich from New Orleans, was a sad :( half a toasted 6 inch grinder cut in half lol , ( 2 3 inchers my 13 year old commented) with 3 slices of meat, one slice of cheese , and chopped olives. For $14. Nope. I had to stand up for the history of this sandwich and , ..it was a 6 inch sandwich with 3 slices of meat , one slice of cheese, and chopped olives . For $14. An hour and a half later. I politely asked to speak to the manager. He walked up to the table, and I explained that we waited a pretty long time, we usually love this place, look at this $14 debacle of a sandwich, please take it off the bill. No apologies, or explanations.. instead , grabs the sandwich , starts quoting times off our ticket , essentially implying we’re being irrational and impatient lol , which made NO sense, and walked away . Worst manager I have ever had to speak to , and I’ve worked with some bad ones. In the end, they took the Muffaletta off the bill, but I still paid for the truffle fries even though they stole em. Thanks for the memories Willi Brew it was good while it lasted. ✌🏼More

We arrived on a busy Friday night. We found spots at the bar. Our bartender was great. I got the stuffed chicken, which is a huge portion. Obviously, they have an extensive beer list, but don't discount the cocktails. They are generous and hand-crafted.

First time visitors. Loved the location - inside an old post office. Service was friendly and prompt. The one beer I had was very good. The food was fine and generally the portions were generous, but our meals weren't anything we felt like we would...come back for. The flatbread pizza was too heavy on the cheese. The catfish sandwich (Mardi Gras special) was ok. I had chips on the side - good, but a small portion. Based on the service and the beer, I'd come back if I were in the area again.More

I hadn't been to Willamantic Brewery since my daughter graduated from Eastern CT a few years ago. They've only become better, and I didn't think that was possible. My friend and I ordered the nachos for an app. This was the most amazing dish of...nachos I've ever eaten. First of all, it was artfully prepared. Every chip had cheese on it, and every chip was toasted to a perfect golden brown. Not one was burned or soggy. Jalpenos and tomato bits were plentiful and added zest to the dish. Second, the serving was huge. We both ate as much as we could and there was more left than we had eaten. It was enough for another meal for two. Ordering an entree now became out of the question, so we got an order of onion rings. Again, perfectly done and very filling. It is, after all, a brewery, and Willamantic has a draft list of about 13 of their own beers, with a pleasing variety. We each had a couple and really enjoyed them. Our waitperson was Bailey, and she was an exceptionally hard worker. The restaurant was full and she handled many tables with personality and speed. We were lucky to have her serving us. Willamantic Brewery is located in an old post office building and they've done a great job of recreating it and yet keeping vestiges of its former life. This is a great place to eat and drink.More

We had a little party to celebrate our son's graduation. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Pub fare food was very good and the drinks were fairly priced. The place is nicely decorated and there is plenty of room. Highly recommend.

Not truly “fine dining” but always excellent food and their own beers. Prior to COVID we are there weekly.

Beer is the highlight. Ordered teriyaki wings so salty we couldn’t eat then and I am a salt lover. I had the steak poutine . Tasted good but way too dry. Hubs had fish and chips. Decent. The biggest disappointment for us was the service....Our waitress seems to be inexperienced. When we said we couldn’t eat the wings she said she would talk to the manager and we kind of expected the manager to come out and say some thing to us. He didn’t come out she came back and offered to re-bake the wings to try and get some of the salt off which was kind of weird. We did see who we thought was the manager he only talked to two tables in the restaurant and he was obviously talking to people he knew. One of the most insulting things to me as a customer is to see the manager come out and only speak to clients he knows. Every client in that restaurant should have the same value for a manager, if he speaks to one table or two tables he should just walk around and ask all of the tables how they doing it literally takes five minutes.More
