Where to start. The food is horrible. When we got our food it was warm at best. The flavor was not there. Flavorless. I ordered the Ruben the bun was toasted but the inside was cold. Horrible!! My buddy ordered the pizza he said it was chewy and it tasted one step above the supermarket frozen pizza. We had 8 piece classic wings. Why are the wings so sweet on the inside. Weird tasting. Kinda like potpourri. Will never visit again

Have been here twice in the last month and Ellison Brewery is a fantastic place for drinks & food. Our bartender Eric made the most outstanding Lemon Drop Martini! Big thumbs up here will be back soon..

Great beer, loved this place for a long time. The tap list was very short, the menu didn't match the online menu. I fear this place will be on its way out without money spent on the tap room. As it seems they are focusing monies on distribution and recovering from the reo town disaster.

The service was very slow. We got there at 5 and we didn’t get our food until 7:30. Only good thing was the food and drinks were pretty good but they definitely weren’t worth the waitThey forgot my order as well. We complained about the wait and how they forgot some of our food and they were very rude.

I visited from out of town! Our waitress was polite but never filled our drinks, or took our menus off our table. My group of 3 had 2 orders messed up, we just went with it because we waited 45 minutes for our meals even though there were 4 tables present.Pizza tasted like it was frozen store-bought pizza.Wings were boneless when ordered traditional.Burger came out cold and charred. Two glasses were dropped when we were there, and fellow customers had to point out the glass left over after sweeping.I feel for (who i presume was) the owner. He seemed nice!

We have come many times and enjoyed the beer. Today’s visit, not so much. Tried two different beers both with some off-flavors and not up to standard I have seen in the past. We think you should know.

Good beer but food took a long time and was cool when recieved. Then when you pay your choice for tip were skip, 25%, 30% or custom. Who's going to take the time to do the custom tip. I should have pushed skip!

Excellent food & beer! I’ve been drinking Ellison beers for years but this was my first time visiting the brewery. Really enjoyed their lager & hazy pale ale. The pizzas were wonderful. Wings are $1 on Sundays and those were great, too. Spicy Buffalo sauce wasn’t too spicy. Friendly service.

We always like supporting locally owned restaurants. We had a horrible experience at the Reo Town location as far as service. We are at the East Lansing location tonight and have been waiting for food for an hour. Some people have cancelled their order and left. There are only two people working beside the cook. Horribly understaffed.

They make good beer. Much better than some other local brands, and way better than a watered down Bell's.The Tiramisu stout is amazing.But I'm not too sure of everything they have listed, such as their lambic. I believe that a lambic has particular wild yeasts that it ferments with in Europe.
