Everything from this establishment I have consumed was heavenly bliss. Be prepared for leftovers because the portions are very generous. Staff was friendly and professional. Restaurant was clean and well themed. Food and beer is similar to the other two locations, but the atmosphere here is much better. Couldn't use the patio because it was raining, but it looks great!

Quiet lunch today, not very busy. Food and drinks were all delicious. My tea cocktail was very balanced and not sweet, which is appreciated. The server was helpful with questions and everything came out perfectly. Mediterranean salad with salmon was amazing. Always a good meal here.

Druthers is an exceptional local brewery chain, serving up delicious food and a wide variety of drinks. I had the fried chicken sandwich, which was one of the best I've ever had. Along with the Big Mac Mac Balls, my meal was very good. My waitress, Ashley, provided great service as well. But you can't forget about their milkshakes, which of course are just as good as the food. This specific location is located conveniently in a plaza with plenty of parking. If you're looking for a delicious meal or a drink, Druthers is the place to come!

Great venue in a great area. Very upscale area. Nice clean and modern restaurant. Easy parking street side or a lot across the street. Southern Fried Chicken sandwich was great! Would most definitely get it again.

This place has some delicious drinks and food!! The boozey milkshakes were my favorite!! Great selection of seasonal beers as well. Food was so good and came out quickly. Very friendly servers. If I’m ever visiting from Jersey again, I’ll definitely return here.

Wings were ok, they were out of smoked wings although they are still on the menu. Recommend the lobster Mac Balls. Flights are available for draft beers but not listed on menu! Ask server! We didn’t know until another table had one delivered. Outside seating is nice and family friendly.

We came here to enjoy their food and to try some local beers. Great selections of beers, but surprisingly no porters or stouts to choose from. And there were great options of food to choose from. Parking was easy. There was a free parking garage across the street from this brewery with only a short walk. The atmosphere was relaxing. They have a large open garage style doors that were open from the inside to the outside that allowed a breeze to blow through the restaurant. You had a choice to sit inside or outside. They had some Adirondack chairs around a fire pit that we sat in after we ate and we had an outside view to enjoy. Overall a great experience. We ordered their burger, and it was served as ordered and tasted great. And we shared appetizers that were all good. Great friendly service. And if you like any of their beers you are able to take home some of their various selections of 4 pack cans.

Stopped in for a quick bite. The location was a little difficult to find once we parked (Parking was decent). Our bartender Leeana was very nice and attentive. She informed us of portion sizes and that we can do half sizes on the sides..which I'm glad she did. I order a half size of Mac and cheese...Thank God..the portion was more than I expected and the mussels...so good! Hubby ordered the chicken sandwich, which he enjoyed. Her recommendation on beers based on what hubby and I regularly drink, was spot on! The ambiance was very nice, bathrooms clean. Will definitely come back.
