Rather run of the mill brwwpub coupled with a BBQ joint. The beef brisket was simple but good, however, the beer was limited (4 taps and 2 guests) and were not impressive. Not worth the detour.

It’s a nice venue. The beers are good, but there was nothing over the top on. Right now Manteca is economically down, and I doubt there’s a customer base to support expensive experimentation. But it’s a good place, and the bar guy was informative and talkative. Don’t miss it, if you’re in the neighborhood.

Nice big old building. Food and beer was OK. Will try again later.

I went here specifically to try the Fossil Fuels beer, but it wasn’t available. Had a bowl of clam chowder and an Oktoberfest instead. Food was ok, beer was pretty mediocre. Pretty much your average run of the mill brewpub. I’d go there again if i was in town, but wouldn’t go out of my way.

Decent atmoshere, food and service. O.K. beers.

The restaurant is in a converted theater and offers a neat ambiance. Food selection is HUGE w/ a little something for everyone. Food quality is great! Lots of emphasis on the barbecue from their Chinese brick ovens. Beers are lacking, though - detracts from the whole brewpub experience. Good destination if you’re in the area, but I would not go out of my way for it.

Nice looking place, food was pretty good. They were out of their porter that I wanted to try. The other beers I tried were ok or odd. The staff didn’t seem to know much about their own beers.

Excellent food, their old brick oven cooks pizza perfectly. A good selection of different beers and non of them goes below average. Unfortunately they are no longer bottling but there is always growler fills.
