True West Brewery

The service was extremely slow and there were two different waitresses one was okay the other seemed as if it was a hassle waiting on us.
Stopped in with friends after snowshoeing at Acton Arboretum. What a nice find! The Roggenbier is spicy and malty. The Black Watch is a good example of Scotch Ale - not many breweries off this anymore. Wicked Pretzels are always good and the jalapeno beer cheese and sweet mustard that came with it was delicious. If we didn't already have plans for dinner, we would have sampled more of the menu. We hope to be back.
Good selection of well crafted beer. J wish they had a couple more options for wine varietals. Service was a bit slow however it was nearing last call when we ordered so it may have had a lot to do with the kitchen and staff doing side work to prepare for closing. I would visit again.
Went for Valentine’s Day. Trying to support local. Food was good. Service was extremely poor. Seemed to be a lot of tension between the staff creating an unpleasant environment.
The food and beer selection was excellent, atmosphere was very nice.
The owner/ma
The food was outstanding. Wings, burger and fries. All were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. We LOVE this place!
The food was really good, better than expected. The service was good, a little slow considering the small number of people there at the time. The beer was very good, not overpowering in flavor, so trying something different was easy. Atmosphere is great, will definitely go back.
Great food, awesome beer, terrific atmosphere and superb staff.
Great Food, great beer.
The sandwiches we ordered were very fatty which was pretty gross. Towards the end of our meal, a server opened the door to the outside patio and left it open. It got so cold inside that we decided to cut our lunch short, payout, and leave. The beers were excellent but otherwise, the overall experience was not so good.
The patio is the perfect place to eat outdoors! We've eaten a number of places outside during the pandemic, and True West is the best of them.
Ate in the "beer garden," which is really just the sidewalk outside the restaurant, but it was still nice! Wasn't thrilled that the sound from whatever game was on the televisions indoors was being blasted to the outdoors, but a small complaint. I had the fish sandwich, and it was delicious, as was the pumpkin/yam beer.
Every time we've gone here, most of the food menu isn't available. If we come back, it'll be for drinks only
GO BILLS. Great food and staff. Good TVs
Outdoor dining so great. Beer selection is good. Good is tasty
This is maybe the single best place around for dining during the pandemic.
The outdoor patio experience is excellent. Tables are scattered about. A few of the high tops are under cover.
There are a number of good food choices from the menu. I always find more than one thing that temps me. This time I had the schnitzel with German potato salad, which was very good. My spouse's choices are a bit more limited, since she can't have dairy, but she always finds something desirable as well. Sometimes we make a dinner from the appetizers, which is also fun.
Maybe this should have been first, since it is after-all a brewery: the beer is excellent. I had Mr. Kipper this time, which is a traditional English bitter -- the best that I've had outside England.
Make reservations, because it gets filled up in nice weekend weather.
Great night!!
Great local spot! Always a pleasure to stop by True West. Great pub food and nicely crafted beers. Very accomodating staff and in general, prompt and organized service.
Always a great place to get a simple bite to eat. The dry rub wings are the best around. Of course, the beer is wonderful.
First time here and it was really nice. The outdoor seating was great and the kids could see the train which they loved. The food was great the beer was great and the service was great. The location is the best we got lunch and beer and then went to get ice cream and went to the park across the street.
The coolest thing was they had wikkisticks for the kids which my boys loved they usually don’t enjoy the coloring pages most places have and very quickly lose interest but the wikkisticks kept them occupied and we brought them home. Really cool to see a different thing at a place for kids to enjoy. We will definitely be back!
We dined outside and the patio is dog friendly. Pumpkin brew was great and we had a mix of fries, wings and pulled pork for dinner. Street corn was also delicious as an app.
Service was quick and the food came right out. Overall good experience and would come back again for sure!
Outside dining was pleasant! The staff was friendly and attentive
Decor in front of the house needs some work, but we like it there and will go back.
LOVE the West Coast Burger and Tots!!
Great place if you are in Acton. The new beers currently available are great, especially the Hollywood IPA.
After being sat half an hour passed before a server came to our table. Shortly after being sat a server dropped 3 pretzels at our table, which we hadn’t ordered but assumed were complimentary as we had just sat and were waiting a while for service. When we flagged down a server she asked us if we had sat ourselves at a dirty table somewhat rudely (we had a reservation) and didn’t acknowledge our question about the pretzels. We ordered drinks and a round of waters and the drinks came out in an appropriate amount of time but without waters, so we asked the server who brought them for a round of waters with our food order. A good amount of time passed before we got our food, and still no waters so we went inside to ask for them from the bar tender, at least an hour after we initially sat down. The meal itself was fine, but in the end we were charged for the pretzels after no one working there explained what happened, and we just paid the bill as is because we didn’t have time to wait another half hour for her to return to the table. For context not getting waters is obviously not a huge deal but we had been planning on drinking and also we were sitting outside and it was 80 degrees. All in all a very subpar experience but the hostesses were very nice and helpful and the vibes were good
Since we discovered the joy of outdoor social distancing dining, we have visited True West five times. They take reservations and have many outdoor tables well spaced. Thet are a solar brewery with many choices to please even the non-beer drinker. Chef's seasonal menu is full of delicious selections and I haven't had a disappointing meal yet. Their "TOTS" and fried pickles are to die for. We'll see them next week!
Overall great! They were just a little backed up because they had a crowd for the first time in a long time, which we were happy to see!! Tons of really good beers, really good food. We happened to be in the area and randomly found this spot. Would definitely go back!
Excellent beer, great atmosphere, awesome staff and by far the best Buffalo wings in MA.
Great back porch. Amazing fried pickles! Salads are great too!
Just went for apps and beers. The fried pickles were delicious and the pretzel was also very good. I wish the cheese sauce was a little better/bigger portion. Highly recommend their IPA's though!
Love the outdoor deck, great service,
My boyfriend has a gluten allergy, so the fact that True West has a gluten-free fryer is enough to keep us loyal FOREVER. He was able to eat restaurant chicken wings for the first time in 10+ years (and they were DELICIOUS). Our only complaint is that no one took our drink order for almost 30 minutes.
The servers were very unwelcoming and didn’t even greet us! Never even asked asked us for water.
We were greeted and seated immediately (advance reservation made) on the outdoor front deck, which we chose. The servers were friendly and helpful getting us acclimated to menu choices. Full COVID-19 safety practices were evident. We started with a flight and an appetizer (fried pickles recommended) that helped narrow our beverage selection for lunch. The True Bleu burger was incredible and the Summer BBQ Ribs done to perfection. Parking was convenient along street or in adjacent side parking lot. We had no complaints during our visit and would visit again and try some different menu choices.
They did an excellent job given the current regulations and we sat outside in the patio area while still generously spaced apart. Food was excellent as always and it helped that it was a beautiful night weatherwise. Highly reccomend!
Great food, excellent beers, nice staff, great vibe. Very much recommend!
True West has made a wonderful transition to outdoor dining over the past few months. Their tables are very well space and the outdoor space has great atmosphere. Our server was very helpful and attentive. The food was on point. I splurged and got the french fries with truffle oil and [parm cheese - delightful and delicious!
The back porch was perfect and we had it to ourselves for most of our visit.
