It's a good thing Surly brews good beers, because the brewery is a horrible experience overall. It was extremely busy on a Saturday afternoon, which would be fine, but there is only one bartender at each of the two bars. The line for beer was about 25 minutes long. Do not eat there, it's not worth it. Our wait for a table when we arrived at 1:30 pm was 1 hour and 45 minutes. Of the 7 food items our party of 5 ordered the highlight was the French fries. Many of the portions were on the small side, and nothing to write home about. The worst was the fried chicken. I got 1 leg and 1 drumstick (sort of) that were waaaaay over done. Half the meat had fallen off the bone.

Buy Surly at your local bar or store. Don't bother visiting the brewery. There's many other local breweries in the area which are much better places to hangout and have great beer as well.
