Let’s be clear, the beer across the street at the tasting room was excellent. Amazing variety and fantastic, knowledgeable servers. We had a fantastic time with our friends and discovered some outstanding beers. Contrast that with this debacle. First off, the ordering app they FORCE you to use is worse than dreadful. Buggy, unresponsive and terrible UX. Just try ordering a salad with a different dressing - go ahead - cannot be done. Add items to your basket and they never make it there. Redo it, and then redo it again. Finally it will land in your basket. Takes forever to find anything, endless scrolling over and over again. This would be clunky for ordering for one of two people. For a large group, allocate at least half an hour. Absurd. Service, non-existent. Kids deliver you food but you’ll never see them again. Want an ice tea refill, get up from your outside table, go inside, wait at the bar and request a refill from a bar tender. You’ll never see a waitperson. Rating the food poor is generous, at least no one got sick. Everything was served cold. Cerveza fish tacos included poor quality fish, and Jalapeño Slaw was way to hot - overpowered everything. Severed cold. Only positive was a nice serving size. Carne Asada Tacos also served cold. Meat was very tough and mainly gristle. Gross really. The Caesar Salad with beef cold not have been less uninspired. Even the fries were cold. Iced tea tasted stale. All and all, dreadful food. Enjoy the beer tasting room at the main brewer but avoid this restaurant if you can.
I recommend you try on any clothing before purchase. I stoped and had lunch and bought a shirt. When I got home and tried it on, it was too small. I guess they run small. Made in Mexico. Called the store and they will only exchange it in person. They won't do it by mail. I live 200 miles from them. when I pass by again in 6 months they'll probable say it's too old.
Got there and gor a seat right Away food and service was great .
Awful shopping experience!Be aware and keen on the final translation when visiting firestone and walker emporium.They are not transparent and they will bundle up merchandise with service for the final transaction. They will unapologetically turn the monitor with it's tip percentage to compound the final purchases, starting at 20%.On June 12th, I visited the emporium to have a draft beer, and six pack along with merchandise.I spent $210 on merchandise and approximately $20 worth of beer. When it was time to settle the tab I added 20%, thinking it was for the hospitality service only.Nope! They fully know that their system is misleading and rigged.I caught the mistake when I reviewed my receipts and bank account for the week. When I called firestone to correct this outrages added tally of 20% to the merchandise, the manager was dismissive and unaccomodating. Her reasoning was two folds: i had the choice to not tip and the workers work very hard. Instead of addressing the real issue of bundling final transaction of merchandise and beer service and not being transparent about it. She further insist that they work hard. Clearly that was not the argument nor issue. I do not go to the gap and paid a 20% gratitude added to the final merchandise.All in all the manager didn't correct the problem or offer any compensation to their shady practice.Be aware and go out not feeling fraudulent taken.
Well, I have been wanting to enjoy a dinner at the taproom for a while. On a recent trip to Paso Robles were able to try it out. WAS NOT IMPRESSED. Food was ok, menu was hard to follow, especially on line, service of which there is non was the reason for never going back. I could eat at Denny's and get same quality food and pay less. I understand that we have to keep human contact to a minimum since the outbreak of COVID but having to go to an outside source on your phone to get a menu is ridiculous. To get your food ordered you also have to use this service. Then your food sits under a lamp at the kitchen until a delivery person can somehow make it to your table. After the meal is done you then pay through the outside service which requires you pay a 20% gratuity for your meal. If I had gotten service , that would not be a problem. No service = no tip. What if you did not have a smart phone, you would have to stand in line at the bar like you do at McDonalds. Not what I would call a real upscale dinner but I paid upscale prices. Not on my list to go back again.
The poke nachos were to die for!!! We also ordered a tri tip sandwich with a side salad. Of course their beer is delicious too!! Finding a brewery that has great beer AND excellent food is not easy. Don’t think twice, go here!!!!
Was looking forward to dining at the Taproom a second time and wasn’t disappointed. Got seated quickly on a busy Sunday outside with our pup. QR code dining and food and drinks arrived fast. Great beer selection and tasty food. Burger was excellent and my wife had the shrimp poorboy sandwich. Server’s working hard to satisfy you. Very clean as well.
We had lunch at FW several years ago, and had a wonderful meal. They have went decidedly down hill since then. I had a hamburger that was so greasy it would not stay in the bun, very unappealing taste My wife had tacos which she said were not bad, but again they had grease dripping from the corn tortilla. I realize that since Covid things have changed, but their service was atrocious. We were seated and asked to order with our phones with a Q Reader which was fine. They serve your food, but they never return to check on the quality of your food or if you need anything further.
This is our second stop at the FW Tap Room. Enjoyed the paired down menu, previously there was way to much on the menu. I consider this gourmet pub food. Perfect to go with the newly acquired Cali Squeeze Blood Orange beer. The pretzel is a can’t miss, same for the fish tacos and the spinach goat cheese salad. Well done.
Plenty of 805 merch in a spacious facility. They also sell beer and have something for everyone.
