Abby was an outstanding bartender this weekend. We stopped in for a drink at the bar and quick bite to eat. She hustled the entire team we were there, but never made us feel like we were inconveniencing her in any way. Her service with a smile was well worth the stop.

Nice place. Beer was good. We had to sot at the bar since it was full but the barmaid (Rachel) was sweet and knew her stuff. Glad we stopped. P.s. Nachos plate is big.

My wife and I came to Shoreline Brewery because it was recommended by several friends. I had grabbed dinner and had a couple of drinks. My wife had the Blueberry Mule and I had a flight of beers. Beers were very good. We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and Bourbon Barrel Smoked Pork both were very good and highly recommended. My favorite beer was the The Scarlet Letter.

The serving staff was friendly, competent , and overall very good. It is too bad that these guys don’t have much to work with in terms of product, either food or beer. The pub has a really large beer selection including some really intriguing beer types and phenomenal write ups on the menu that really build your expectations. Sadly the menu writer does a better job than the Brewer. We tried many beers and never found a even notable one. They were all pretty meh. One irritating point is that if you want a flight, the beers are pre-selected for you there is no choice allowed and no substitutions as strongly stated on the menu. The food was the big disappointment: One chicken dish was brought out with a raw, clear to red-pink hue almost all the way through—even the waiter was grossed out. They did quickly replace the raw chicken with what was hoped to be a safe choice—a Mac and cheese dish that sounded great on the menu but was watery and overcooked. The pork bbq sandwich we had was decent. The fried pork dish was bland. We shared a very good pretzel

Just a great place. The craft beers are outstanding--our group had someone who rarely drinks beer and found herself loving one. Appetizers and entrees are outstanding. Our server was exceptional. Totally worth the trip. Enjoy!

Beautiful, sunny spring day! Perfect for an outdoor patio lunch at Shoreline! We were treated to excellent service by Britt! She was friendly and fun!Every time we go I keep telling myself I’m going to order something other than the lamb burger but when I sit down and scan the menu I usually order the award winning lamb burger because it is SO great! There are many other super choices on the menu but time and time again it’s the lamb burger! It is perfectly seared and so tasty with the garlic, oregano, feta, dill tzatziki, tomato, arugula, cucumber, red onion and served on the perfect roll! It’s a winner! Shoreline is a winner! Highly recommend!

Stopped for lunch at Shoreline and sat on their spacious patio today. We loved what we ordered!! I had the SSLT - smoked salmon, lettuce & tomato with a nice little sauce and cucumber slices on toasted pumpernickel…….it’s SOOOOO good. And instead of the fries, I had the homemade veggie chips that are really light and crispy. I ordered a Beltaine beer that’s a house favorite with my lunch.Our server, Britt, was delightful and attentive. She took great care of us and was fun to chat with!!This place is really great and the menu always has something for everyone! I highly recommend it after a day at the beach which is close by! Enjoy!!

This place was recommended by a waitress at another restaurant on our visit. Food was awesome and beer was great quality. Outdoor area was superb and will have to return on a weekend or special event. My gumbo was amazing and the wife got the Mac and cheese. Both pictured

We have attempted to eat here several times since it has been open. Waits have always been long. I truly don’t understand the hype. Beer was just ok - and I try a lot of beers at many local places. Nothing special. We started with an excellent pretzel and cheese. That was the best thing going!!! I had the Mahi Fish Tacos - which were completely tasteless. The corn shells totally overpowered the fish. After a few bites I just ate the fish, pico and guacamole. Still not super flavorful but at least it didn’t compete with the cardboardy tortillas. My hubby had a burger - ordered medium well. It was inconsistently cooked - almost raw in places and medium well in places. Good onion rings tho!!! The menu had interesting things on it but they were trying too hard to be haute cuisine. I’m an intelligent, well read person and there were many items I couldn’t decipher on the menu. I like food not food as art - I don’t need the hoity-toity crap that is meant to impress. We likely won’t be back - there are too many other local places that are better.

My wife and I wanted to sample some local beers and get a bite to eat. The staff was all very friendly, but also very slow. We sampled 6 beers. They were ok, but not great. We split a hamburger with cheese and bacon. It didn't have the bacon. With that said the burger was juicy and flavorful. One other odd thing; the big TV in the dining area was showing the final round of The PGA Golf Championship. It ended in a tie requiring a sudden death playoff. Right before the start of the playoff, the staff switched the TV to a PBS show with subtitles. There were a lot of little things that started adding up. Overall, kind of disappointing.
