   Went there before a soccer tournament to pass time and watch the World Cup. Great beers, staff friendly, nice bright decor. Really good experience

   We requested to sit in the back room. We were seated there. But after a short time, a few people came in and stood at the bar, and began to talk to each other at high volume. Soon, the people in our party could not hear each other at all. It was awful. We won't go back!

   Yeah it’s a brewery, but don’t discount their cocktails, quite good! The food was nice as well, the fish in the fish and chips was a little bland but the batter was good. Overall a great casual place to hang out!

   Service was very good. Server was very attentive and we were served drinks/food more quickly than expected given our previous, recent experience there where service was slower due to staff shortage. Food met our expectations and mixed drinks were well made and tasty. Overall good value for a neighborhood bar with great ambience.

   Couldn't rate the food since we left after 40 minutes with no drinks, no food, no service. Diners all around our table were complaining.

   I have not been here for several years. I remember a more extensive entree menu. Now it seems mostly like any other bar food. The beer is good. The biggest thing about the evening is that we waited almost an hour for an appetizer. People that arrived after us got their appetizer and meal before we did. We ordered salads with a protein topping. The waiter was not helpful when we inquired about our meal and the "manager" did not seem like a very experienced manager and did nothing to help us, either. After waiting an hour and a half for dinner, we paid for what we received and left. I have never in my life done that. It was awful.

    We were outside on the terrace (perfect evening to be outside!) Great food and drink, great service, the live music was good but a tiny bit too loud. It seemed like the musicians were trying to play for the folks inside or in the next town ;-)

    Waited 20 minutes for the Beer, only to be told what we ordered was not available. Appetizers were served cold, and had to send it back. Had to ask for plates & silverware to eat, and had to ask them to be cleared for desserts to be served. And even had to ask for pens to sign the checks!

    Unfortunately, the Menu is fairly limited and not the priority for this restaurant. Online ‘seasonal’ menu we were told was out of date, so my portobello burger was not available and most of the options are burgers. So I ordered the strawberry goat cheese walnut salad and added grilled chicken. It was a plate of baby spinach wit a few strawberries and plops of creamy balsamic. Chicken was dry and whole thing unappetizing. 2 of the party hit the salmon burger which they liked but complained it was very messy. Our other friend got burger and gave it an okay. It’s too bad because the restaurant has some good vibes and outdoor seating. The conspiracy deck is great spot, kind of secret as you can’t see it from outside and I didn’t see any good pics on the site. I can’t say anything anything about the beer as I don’t like beer. Sorry. But there’s a good selection.

    Wonderful staff, they stood out. The food was fine, but not stand out in a way that would draw us back. Spicy queso great but served with stale chips - in fairness it could have been humidity, but not appealing. Four small crab cakes a bit over cooked - would have been better as two larger ones. Chicken wings were ok, tasted frozen to fryer. Burger was fine. Pulled pork sandwich was a small portion, was ok. Drinks were good. Our first time here, won’t rush back for any of the food items. Would come for a flight of beers and food would not be the draw. Nice ambiance, lots of great hustling staff!

    First, let me start by saying the meal was excellent. I had the fried chicken sandwich and my friend has the quinoa bowl with chicken and we were both very happy. Also, the hostess was willing to accommodate our need to be in the shade, which was appreciated. The waitress was friendly and came over quickly to take our orders. Unfortunately, she took mine down wrong. When the bus boy came out a short time later with our food and we pointed out that mine was the wrong dish he looked confused, hesitated, then took it back. He came back shortly and said the kitchen would get my order out as quickly as the could. That was the last we saw of any serving staff for about 20 minutes when the bus boy came back with my meal. The waitress then popped up, asked how things were and disappeared again. Once I was done she came to clear the plates and bring us our check, which was incorrect (still had the wrong dish on it). My friend had to chase her down inside and ask for a correction (as the dishes were different prices), which was apparently the first notice she had that anything had gone wrong with my order (the bus boy took care of the correction entirely himself, taking the fall for her). The waitress then came back with the new check, apologized, and said that my meal had been taken off the check. I thanked her, left a standard tip on the remaining check and we went on our way. I appreciate the restaurant going above and beyond to apologize for the mistake (more than necessary, really, as I wasn't upset), but if you're going to have 2 fried chicken sandwiches (one "fried Chicken sandwich," the other "Spicy Korean Fried Chicken sandwich") on the menu, you may want to make sure your serving staff knows so they don't just assume it's one over the other and end up making a really unnecessary mistake.

    Saturday night. 6 of us outside. 4 adults, 2 kids. Young male waiter. It became obvious he lacked training and direction over time. One of us had a food allergy-he struggled to deal with the question. Eventually the only food that come out was the food for the person with the allergy even though they ordered last. We waited and waited and he never showed up. Eventually I went and found him and told him only person got their food. His response: "yeah, I noticed that." I asked him to check on the rest of the food. Pretty soon thereafter it showed. We concluded it was likely he only put the order in for non allergy food-but the delay was never explained. There were no call backs to check on us for more drinks-several of wanted 2nd drinks. The final straw? bringing the check before the dessert. And then checking back to see if payment for the check was available before the dessert. We were there for almost 3.5 hours. Atrocious service. But this is the manager's fault for putting someone out there with no training or help.

    The place was hopping with lots of people attending quiz night. It was clear that everyone was having a good time. The vibe matched my mood while I hung out with old friends. We had drinks and appetizers. The home made chips were awesome.

    We ate outside which was lovely, but they seemed to be short staffed with servers and/or in the kitchen as it took approximately 45 minutes for our 4 meals to arrive to our table.

    I have always loved the Buffalo wings at True West, but not this time. I ordered Buffalo wings and got Kentucky Fried Chicken wings with no sauce on them, and had to ask for more sauce. They were hard to chew, and they were nothing like Buffalo wings. Nothing at all. This formerly very good restaurant has gone downhill fast.

    The beet salad was too small ,for the price some additional greens should be included. My salad palled in comparison to my dining companion’s who got the caprese salad . I added salmon so it was not the cost that was at issue .

    Main course was very slow, and took about fifty minutes. Hamburger was unseasoned and bun was not toasted. Fries must have been frozen. Our server about avoided us for 20 minutes while we waited interminably.

    Made reservations, was first seated at the most awkward and uncomfortable booth that was conveniently located in between two other parties. When I asked the hostess if we could be moved she said there were no open tables, although we were looking at 5 other open tables. Our server came over and we asked again to move and she very happily without hesitation moved us to one of the 5 open tables that hostess walked us by while leading us to the corner booth. Anyways, after that we hardly saw our sever. Took about 20 minutes to get our first drink, someone else dropped our food over to us. When she did come back to check on us we ordered another round, after waiting another 15 mins and watching the hostess and servers hanging out around the bar I called my server over and asked her to cancel our drink our since we unfortunately did not have all night to hangout and wait (mins you we also finished our food before she asked us if we needed refills). Definitely not the best experience, maybe we will have better luck when they seem to not be so busy.

    The service fine. The restaurant was full or close to it; so, the noise level made conversation difficult at times. Making up for that was the gracious waitress and the good food. This is our third or fourth visit to True West, and we will return but not on a Saturday evening.

    Food took a while, which was no big deal, we weren't in a rush. But my fish tacos were lukewarm when i did get them which was disappointing (tasty though). Husbands meal (risotto) was good, not cold like mine. Sangria was yummy. Busy night, so they were out of all desserts when it came time to order.
