The food wasn't worth the price plus they brought it out cold and without my husband side. 20 plus mins later still no side and he was down his meal. Not impressed. Won't be back.

Sat at the bar and had a great time. Russel is a great bartender and more. He is creating an entire new drink menu and very unique and great cocktails! We were there celebrating a 21st bday and he added to the fun evening.

Getting Better. Old Herald Brewer & Distillery started with a lot of positives and has evolved, getting better all the time. Everyone can find faults and recommend ways that the businesses can be better and management probably realizes most of the little problems. Old Herald evolves and we celebrate that. It is fun to see what they do next and keeps us coming back. Yes, some of the stuff we miss and hope it comes back, all we can do is say what we like and what we don't like.... Like the tiny plate for their awesome Chicken & Waffles, or that Old Heralds unique "Coalsch" beer, a cousin to the German Kolsch Beer, is no longer on the beer menu. BUT! There are several unique and awesome mixed drinks that everyone who enjoys mixed drinks should investigate. They change stuff so fast that their web site can't keep up, but it seems the Facebook page does. I hope they keep up the good work!

Excellent whiskey and vodka distillery in Collinsville. The Old Herald is their Old Fashioned made with their own bourbon and it is excellent. They also make an Old Fashioned with tequila and it is very good. The Cuban sandwich was great and the burgers are top notch. The loaded fries are also delicious.
We love coming to the old herald. They have concerts outside in the summer in the new outdoor stage area.One thing we keep coming back for is their Sunday brunch. It’s buffet style and they always have a nice selection of food. They don’t always offer Sunday brunch so make sure you double check before you go.They just opened a holiday pop up bar in their event room. It was fun and I believe it was their first time doing it. I liked the festive drink menu.Something else I need to mention is their onion rings . Usually when I get onion rings from somewhere, I bite into it and the onion slides out of the breading. The onion rings at the old herald don’t do this and they were delicious!Finally, they have a delicious Bloody Mary! I always get one during the horseradish festival.All the workers are very sweet.

We drove 40 miles on a day off to check out Old Herald Brewery, and they did not disappoint. I wish right now they were located near us because I'd go back today. Not only were the beers good and the food, but the service was outstanding. Great work ethic in this place! The fact they brew their beer and their liquors, make their own wing sauces the quality of the whole menu really stand outs. I'm looking forward to another day off to drive out their.

We had a surprise birthday party here Friday night. The staff went above and beyond helping us get the room ready. Ashley was our server for the evening and she was amazing!! We had a large group, but she was friendly and smiling the whole evening. The food was great and the atmosphere exceptional!

Always wanting to support local small businesses, my co-workers decided to order from Old Herald. One of the six of us had a good experience, in fact she said her burger was excellent. The rest of us were wishing we had ordered the burger. Greek Gyro-meat looked like a dry, chopped hamburger, very tough. Mediterranean Bowl is not worth $18, small serving and ingredients were not fresh. Steak salad - ordered med rare, steak was overcooked and not easy to chew, much of the lettuce should have been tossed out a day or two before. This is not the first time the quality of the food was sub-par. I keep giving it another chance but, I won't be back for a while.
All the stars for the beer. Portions seem to be shrinking? $19 salmon is about 4oz. Mediterranean bowl just a little more than a kids portion.Beers is great, appetizers almost reasonable.

We waited an hour for three entrees Sunday at 12 pm. There were maybe 3-4 other parties dining at the time ahead of us. The other two entrees were hot and well cooked while my food good but on the cooler side of warm.The restaurant itself was lovely. The other half of the building with the private room and restrooms has a slope up and really should be re-striped. I almost tripped and saw several others almost trip.

I don’t normally leave review but our server was SPECTACULAR. I believe her name was maddie b? She was fast, funny, and actually gave us the time of day and made our experience personable. Will definitely be back and will be requesting maddie b.
My oh my, what an awesome place! Our server name was maddie and she was so polite, patient, and kind. Had a gorgeous smile and I cannot wait to be back, especially to visit her! Thanks Maddie!
