Everything was great except for the 2oz of fish I got with my $15 fish and chips. If I knew they were going to skimp out on the fish, I would’ve ordered just the fries for $6.

Fish and chips are really good. The staff is pretty friendly. They have Wi-Fi available which is pretty cool. The only complaint I have is that it's extremely cold inside of the restaurant and a very uncomfortable to be that cold while you're trying to eat.

Reubens has good food, good beer, and great service. Nothing more you could ask for from a brewery.

Always busy. Always a good vibe. Tons of beers to choose from and they even have their own food onsite. We've visited in all weather and their space accommodates it all. There is indoor/outdoor and covered/uncovered areas. They also have live music on some nights. Reuben's stands out in the brewery district.

When I tell you that I would drive all the way from Portland to Seattle to eat this salad - I am not kidding. The best chicken Caesar salad I've ever had, hands down. The chicken was perfectly crispy and the dressing was perfect! The brat was also so so delicious. The guys working the truck were super nice and the food came out quickly. I had low expectations and hoped for the best but I was truly amazed at how good this was! Wow.

The winter beers were just ok. A bit too sweet for me. The service was excellent! My wife loved the hotdog with the kimcheese, though she said it did get pretty spicy towards the end!

Fairly accessible, well priced, and good quality food and beer! Located around the Ballard area, this place is located in the midst of many breweries. I only went here for beer as I am not too big of a beer person, but this place has a good variety - from IPAs to lighter hops to stouts (their BBIS). The beer can be tried as tasters in 4 oz cups, which is what I got, so I can try more variety. Note that it will cost a little more per ounce than if you get 12 oz, but you pay a premium for variety, which is fine since it isn't that much more. 3 4oz cups got me to a little under $10 after tax, which includes their stronger, pricier stout (BBIS with maple syrup). I don't care too much about their IPA but their BBIS is amazing - not carbonated, strong, a bit of coffee flavor, and a bit on the sweet side. For food, they have a food truck place called Reuben's Eats and I got the fried chicken sandwich original. For $11 before tax, it is a lot of food. The chicken is not the most seasoned but it was very crispy and juicy! Not the best sandwich but it pairs super well with the beer. My friend and I shared a ranch loaded special fries and we barely finished one order. It is good but they also give you a lot of food! We were originally going for the SRW special for $35 per person, but after finding out they only give you 3 4oz cups also as their pairing, we actually spent a lot less getting what we want (by half the price) and we were still very full.

I didn't know what to get and I wasn't driving, so I started with a flight. I liked all the beers that I got, but the best was the classic Czech pilsner. The Smore stout was interesting but not what I was expecting. The outdoor patio area had a nice vibe but there was an event going on and it was kind of chilly (the fire pit was off). The inside was nice but a little quieter and empty.

Great beer, great atmosphere. Best sours in town. I look forward to making Reuben's a regular stop.
3rd stop on our "pub crawl" and wish it was the last, because it is going to be hard for another establishment to top this place. 27 beers on tap, so something for everyone! The three of us consider ourselves to be pretty expert when it comes to rating stouts, porters, and especially barleywines. Since none of us like hoppy beers, we only drink these three styles year round. All three of us agree that the Instant Vintage XI barleywine was the best we have ever had. The Stouter Limits was also one of the top 3 stouts we've ever tried. Both were aged perfectly and made our mouth water just from their aroma. We got additional pours of both even though we still have a few other stops, thankfully we are walking! The robust porter was also well above average. I wish they had the barleywine and stout available to bring back home, but no such luck. As mentioned above, this place is going to be hard to top on the rest of our "pub crawl". FIVE+++ stars, well worth the drive and if only visiting one brewery in the Seattle area, this is the one you want! Across the street to stop #4...Great Notion.

After hitting up Great Notion directly across the street, we checked out Reuben's Brews. My dad wanted to go check them out and try one of their beers before heading back to our hotel.We sat outside at Great Notion, but we sat inside here because it was becoming a little chilly! I ordered an orange hard seltzer and my dad ordered their key lime beer (we were here specifically for that type of beer haha). I've been going for the fruity beer/ciders lately and the hard seltzer that I had was so delicious! It had that perfect orange flavor to it! My dad was so distracted by ordering the key lime beer he didn't even realize that there were 28 other beers on tap. He loved this beer so much that he decided to take a four pack back with him, which was also the case with another four pack he took back from Great Notion. They have four restrooms inside, with two of them containing baby changing stations, which is convenient if you have a baby in tow. They also have a food truck directly outside on their patio, titled Reuben's Eats.I really enjoyed Reuben's and I want to come back and try their other beers next time I visit Seattle!

Start your brewery crawl here. You won't be sorry.Excellent selection of beers. The Czech pilsner was very good (husband had that), but I had the Fantastic Summer lager (wow was that really good). Raspberry sour was also tasty (ordered by someone else in our party). Service was excellent, both in the taproom and out at the food truck that's on premises. And speaking of the food - superb! The fried chicken sandwich was absolutely delish! The pretzel is also very good - and huge. But that chicken sandwich - way too yummy for my own good!Nice atmosphere with multiple tables inside and out. Very comfortable and a great way to start your afternoon of ambling around the many breweries located here. Definitely one of the most memorable spots - both for the beers and the food.Remember, start here. You may not leave!

I got the veggie sausage, "Ballard-style". It was delicious! Generous toppings and the bun was tasty too. Great vegetarian option.

Nice selection of brew and causal seating for enjoying your adult beverage. Not special compared to the other places all around. Place x the street is better IMHO
