    We had not been since Jackson Rouse took over the kitchen and I’m glad he did. The meal was delicious. I had the wild mushroom and eggplant bolognese with the green goddess salad to start any they were delicious. We had a 6:30 reservation on a Saturday night though and we were the only ones in the place until close to leaving. I hope this was just a fluke.

    Fifty West BrewpubResponded on October 5, 2023

    We're still drooling over the bolognese! Thanks for stopping in, and glad you enjoyed some of our new dishes and plates off of the menu! Hope to see you back in the future!

    Love the rustic interior, seems rather sterile though- could use a decor reset to make the environment a bit more lively and upbeat. Patio was wonderful and inviting. Food was good. It is nice that they source locally for provisions. Great beer too. We'll be back in the fall.

    We enjoyed an impromptu dinner at the newly reopened 50 west Brew Pub. The food was good- ample portions and well-prepared. We have the eggplant and the pastrami as well as the green goddess salad. Our server was friendly and the service was quick. We ate on the patio, which was lovely, though the seats could use a little cushion. I recommend a visit when you want more than a burger from 50 West.

    Fifty West BrewpubResponded on July 24, 2023

    Thanks so much for the review and feedback! We love having both options for simple walk-up service food at the Burger Bar, and our full service Brewpub! Hope to see you back soon! Fridays throughout the summer we will have live music on the patio as well!

    Service was great! Outdoor patio was delightful. Several of us had the eggplant ‘Parmesan’ …their version had grilled eggplant with cheese curds, a delicious tomato sauce and topped with sautéed spinach and greens. It was literally one of the best meals I’ve had out in a very long time! Definitely going back!

    I tried an item that was not very good at another restaurant. This one was just as bad if not worse. Flavor was a mix that doesn’t go with the traditional version. Sat in the lower level and smelt musty. Very disappointed given the quality of the beer from them and the food at their neighboring location.

    Fifty West BrewpubResponded on July 5, 2023

    Hey Stephen, sorry to hear about your experience at the Brewpub. We're always looking to add and remove items from the menu to keep them roating and fresh. Thanks for the review so we can continue to learn what works and what doesnt to offer the utmost experience at the pub.

    Menu is very limited We had: Zucchini fries that were overbearing with seasoning that resembled cumin and could not taste anything else even with the green goddess dipping sauce Eggplant parmigiana with kale and spinach which was not fried, had no Parmesan cheese at all and was tasteless other than the cloves of garlic.

    We made reservations for Sunday Brunch. Seating was quick. It was not crowded. We had our orders in quickly as well. The tap list was bigger than what I found on the website. My wife ordered a flight that included a Black lager and a Zwickelbier. I had a pint of their Scottish Ale. We enjoyed our beer and our food. We have been to the Carriage House/Brewpub many times in the past. It's what we think of when we think of 50 West. We love this place and would highly recommend it.
