    Drove through a rainstorm to get there, and the restaurant isn’t even open. Just a big CLOSED sign on the door.

    Went here prior to attending the Owlz game as it was close. Good value for the money. Love the beer wall as you are able to try many different beers ver easily. Was neat and fun to do

    This was our first time at Howlers and Growlers. The food was excellent and all of the service staff was helpful and quick. The patio on the roof was a great place to visit.

    The beer wall was different and fun, and the food was great. Loud screaming kids detracted from the ambiance.

    @nd time we've eaten here and the food is good. My husband got the firebird sandwich and loved it! I ordered the balsamic and Blue salad which was good, but the portion was tiny for $14! Most restaurants in the area charge around $14, but the sled is at least double the size. really disappointing.

    This place basically serves over priced bar food. We had 2 appetizers and 4 different dishes for our meal and none of it was what we would consider "good". It smells like stale beer and really has no atmosphere. One of the dishes we ordered was pasta and it was served with a piece of garlic bread that you can buy in the frozen section of Walmart. Pretty bad. My husband and I did have an Old Fashioned and the drink was the best part of the experience. We won't return.

    Staff needs training and better attitudes. The beer wall was painful consistently had to help us get a good quality pour. The food was ok but ended up making my husband sick which never happens. The drinks from the bar weren’t great and the bartender had a bad attitude. Service was terribly slow. Wouldn’t suggest this place to anyone and won’t return.

    We were celebrating a birthday so our evening was leisurely. We started with the Porto kegs. They were extreme good especially the dipping sauce which we kept for the fries. Our server took long time to come around and we finally put in our order- 2 of the chicken sandwiches, pork belly tacos, a burger and gnocchi. But the food was taking a long time though we were catching up so it wasn’t urgent we had to catch the sitter or a movie. In the meantime we got more drinks and the waiter finally arrived to say he apologized but our food would be out shortly. Not sure what was the issue in the kitchen. About 10 minutes later the manager came and said she would be comping half of our meal because the wait was inexcusable. Overall the food was good though the tacos and gnocchi spend some time bathing under the sun lamp. We had an enjoyable time, the food was rather good even with the wait and I was impressed the manager was sharp to come out and make our experience worth the time.

    I have been here a couple times now and we recently hosted a birthday here. They were accommodating, friendly, and an overall good experience. The only thing that has not been good have been the margaritas. But that's definitely something I can get past :)

    The food was good and quick. It was kind of loud which made it hard for me to hear the waitress. I'm not quite sure how I like the way they serve their crafts beers. They have a wall of taps and you serve yourself which can be nice. On the other hand, while you're eating you don't always want to get up and go get your own beer. You also have to pay for any samples you want to try since they charge by the ounce. All considered we enjoyed it and will go again.

    Well, the sauces were tasty, but the biggest disappointment was the burger!!It was the church picnic hockey puck, overcooked and only 1/3 of an inch thick. The fries were very substandard and the onions rings were way over cooked. We were there at 4 and they were Out of two of the items we wanted. Beer wall was cool, though I don't drink. Improvement needed!!

    The first time we were there, H&G was low on food. The second time, the beer wall didn’t work. Get the glitches worked out and you’ll have a winner.

    My hubby & I enjoyed our first time here greatly! Great atmosphere, friendly service, yummy food & fun drink choices! The beer wall is super cool to be about to pour your own beer and try several. The margarita & martini flight was fun to try. My hubby loved the margaritas but the martinis were too sweet for me but I don't like sweet drinks. They did have great flavor though. The potato kegs are a must for an app!! We also met the owner & he was very kind & friendly! We will go back!!

    When we arrived we were sat at a table for 8, so our party of 9 had to squeeze together. The beer cards were not explained very well and everyone in our party had to go to the hostess table to get them. 2 of the people in our party didn’t get their food until the rest of us were already done eating.

    Great spot! Just what Windsor needed. The food was great, the self-pour beer wall was fun and different. It's a new spot, so be patient as they work out the kinks, but overall it's an awesome experience.

    Better of finding a different spot to eat/ get drinks at! Wait staff and managers have no idea what they are doing. Took 2 hrs to get our apps and dinner. Cool atmosphere but differently not worth it

    We sat at a table right in the middle of the room on the first level. The lights are too bright, alot of noise. They should have more booths. The service was excellent. BBQ choices would be a good option on their menu.
