Half Moon Bay Brewing Company

Always love the food and beer here. Great reason to come visit HMB!

Enjoyed the beer and dinner on a busy winter night (my guess is every night is busy here). Had reservations through Open Table - arrived a bit early but waiting until our set time to be seated which was fine. All of our meals were good, kinda high priced for what it is but we were excited to try this brewery on our first trip to HMB.

Prices too high. Food was poor quality. Over cook greasy

The condition of the restaurant has deteriorated over the past few years. It restaurant felt unclean. The carpets were not vacuumed, the furniture is worn and the windows were dirty. Our server was new but she did not make an effort to answer our questions. She knew nothing about the beer of any other menu item.

The food was adequate but underspiced.

Delicious and fresh food. The waitress was very attentive. Also enjoyed their brewed beer!

Nice and friendly place, with outdoor eating option (including dog friendly), great service, and nice ocean views.

We had Thanksgiving dinner. The food was great. You could tell that they were running out of turkey as our reservation was towards the end of the day, but the mashed potatoes were delicious.

We always have Thanksgiving dinner here and it has been good in previous years. This year the service was non existent, we ended up waiting nearly an hour for our main courses. When the food finally arrived, one order was completely wrong and the turkey in the turkey dinner was inedible. Two small dry slices that have seen better days. We had it taken off the bill. Disappointing overall.

Great Thanksgiving Dinner.

Made reservations over 1 month ago for Thanksgiving at 2 pm. All 4 of us ordered the Turkey dinner special due to being Thanksgiving. After 30 minutes, server came and said they were out of turkey! After spending 20 minutes looking for another place, the server said they would have more turkey in 30 minutes so we said we would wait. They offered 1 comp appetizer and 1 comp drink for each of us due to the wait. After waiting another hour, they finally brought the turkey, but then apologized they were out of stuffing, LOL. Then at 4:30, 2 1/2 hrs there, they brought the check with stuffing in a to go box. They had charged us for the 3 drinks and appetizer that were supposed to be comped due to all of the problems! Felt so bad for the server due to really bad management. Have been there many times over the last 8 years, no more after ruining a holiday.

We go here often and enjoy it. The Thanksgiving entree was too soft and predictable however. Different textures would improve the food.

Fun place, live music on weekends. The food is fit for foodies! Service is great! Outdoor dining, a plus. Heaters available for the outdoor section of the restaurant. Free parking. Will be back!

everything is great, service, location,food. Definitely going to be back

We went to celebrate my birthday. Made reservations just in case & they took us right away. We got a table inside by the window. The Fried Artichoke hearts are sooo good. Fish & chips were delicious and crunchy on the outside. Crab sandwich was perfect. We had an awesome waitress. She comped my dessert because it was my birthday. Molten Lava chocolate cake was on point.

Four of us were there for dinner and sat inside. It's a good sized place and we were in a front room area where there was a bit more quiet. It's a fun drinking beer spot near the water so people are there to have a fun time and you can expect some noise. We ordered a big fisherman's plate of fish, calamari and fries, two orders of shrimp and chips and an order of fish tacos. Our food came in less than five minutes so we suspected that it was already cooked and then thrown into the fryer to heat up....it was overdone and the shrimp were pretty tasteless and almost burned. The person who had the fish tacos, and usually loves fish tacos, only ate half of her order because she said it was not particularly tasty. She had to ask for hot sauce because it had no spiciness at all. We recommend it for drinking fun beers and people watching while you are in Half Moon Bay, but I'm not sure what we would order to eat if we were there again. Maybe it's a once-in-a-vacation place!

I had the crab sandwich and my husband had the tuna melt. Both were yummy but the service was not so great. The server dropped off our food and that was that. I had to ask another server for ketchup and didn't get a refill on my ice tea until I was almost done with my meal.

Food was good; wait staff very good but the hostess was far from pleasant.

Good food, but service was spotty and slow. Considering we had a reservation and they knew we were coming, I would have expected better. Food was good and delivered quickly to the table. Great family atmosphere.

Birthday lunch with family. Very busy , I always make reservations. Great service, food good

Sitting on the patio was really nice. The reservation was only good for indoor seating so we had a little wait. Good beer, good seafood, nice atmosphere on the patio with the fire pits.

I ordered the seafood combo and it was over cooked and cold when it arrived at my table. I thought how could the kitchen mess up this dish. It’s pretty straight forward.

Our server was the best we ever had. Kept our glasses full and food delivered fast.

We used to LOVE the shrimp louie salads and were sad to see it off the menu recently.
This is an old time favorite of fish food lovers and restaurants and hope it returns soon!

Didn’t live up to expectations. Windows dirty so view looked a bit ugly. Paella special was weird and more of a risotto cake with seafood on the side.

We were expecting more of a brewery theme.

A great brunch experience with friends - good food, good drink, good times.

Always great food and people at HMB Brewery!

We had a reservation but a table was not ready. When we got to our table, it was dirty and set for the wrong amount of people. After 10 minutes, we were asked what we would like, without asking if we wanted drinks or appetizers or simply water. Upon return, he mixed our drinks up with another table, then took our orders. He asked if we’d like to hear the specials after we were finished ordering. Food was not at all what I expected; pub food at best. The waiter sat with another family while our table and others in the area all needed service. When I ordered a second glass of wine, the surrounding tables called out their orders as well. Tables were never bused and plates were stacked at all empty tables. For a 4th of July holiday, I expected it to be packed. I can clearly see now why it wasn’t. Such a disappointment.

It is okay. If you just want a beer and sit by the fireplace outside, if there is seating, then it's fine, but for a sit down restaurant, it's only ok

It took over 30 minutes for our food to come. We saw other tables get their food before we did even though they sat down after us. I will not return here again for mediocre food and high prices.

This is the go-to spot for my kids when they want to celebrate anything. We went here recently for Father's Day. Even though the staff said they had been busy all day long and it didn't look like it was going to slow down, the staff was super-cheerful and attentive. The view of the water is relaxing, especially at sunset. Will come back here again and again.

Good apps, ok entrees, couple mix ups with the orders

I took my parents there for an early Father's Day lunch celebration the day before Father's Day. I made reservations for 3pm. The place was packed beyond belief, as usual, but we were seated at exactly 3pm. It was truly amazing. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding, even in all the chaos of the crowd.

Awesome views with exceptional service. We were seated appropriately with a reservation during Father's day weekend. We enjoyed brunch along with the regular menu. We will definitely return for another visit.

All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was decent and serving sizes were nice. Price was average for being a beachside restaurant. Service was above average, but we rarely saw our waitress due to being a Saturday and the restaurant got crowded. Getting the attention of other staff was easy and they were all helpful. Would have been nice to have drinks refilled and drinks served with more than a few pieces of ice. Outstanding doggy friendly place where all staff were totally cool. Definitely would recommend and definitely will go back.

Everything is great but the restaurant is dirty inside, servers brush food onto floors as they clean tables.

Our service was top notch once we were seated. We almost left due to the surly hostess. She felt the need to educate me on how they were busy and trying to manage reservations (we arrived at 12:55 for a 1:00 reservation and were told to come back at 1:00). The cheesy bread is amazing and a

The brown rug in the dinning room is dirty, old and coming up. This is not would I would expect.
The tables and chairs are old, look scoffed and ragged. The food was okay, I expected it to come out on nicer dishes, but they too were old and dated
Everything looks 30 years old and worn out.

Made a reservation but then had to wait to see if there was seating which makes zero sense because I made a reservation then was seated in the far back of the restaurant while we passed empty tables, was a little upset from that and the sun was shinning on my friends face and my back no one came to shut the blinds we did it ourselves and so other people doing it was well. I’m going to say maybe just a first time bad experience so I would try it again but if it happened again I would not go back again.

What a gem!! The food was fantastic, we will definitely be going back.

Food was good but we were bummed they wouldn’t let us sit outside with a reservation. It’s kind of lame that we would have had to wait a other 45 minutes to sit on the patio. This was the reason we chose this place in the first place and when making the reservation it said nothing about inside only so we were pretty bummed about that.
