Cannery Row Brewing Company Reviews

The sand dabs are huge here and quite good! Wish they had a gose or sour on tap.

This used to be my favorite spots to go have a drink by the firepits. Unfortunately, recently they must have switched ownership it's the only conclusion I can come to on why their staff is recently so unfriendly and their service is so horrible. The food also is not as good as it once was.

Nice little restaurant, but I don't think they brew their own beer

Fantastic beer selection and good food. Highly recommended

Seen this place on Diners, Drive inns and Dives.....the food tastes just as good as it looks on TV! Loved the atmosphere, and staff was friendly. Excellent customer service! We will be back!

Good beer, but overpriced. The fish tacos were delicious, but again overpriced.

A little disappointed to learn that this "brewery" was no longer making beer. Food was delicious though.

Just all around not a good place to eat. Disappointed for the amount we spent.

This is my fav spot for a beer and a meal downtown. Although last time I was here, I barely remember leaving. Drink responsibly.

It was delicious and the burger and fries were the best I've ever had. This is now my favorite city on Earth!

Food was average. Service was slow. Only 2beers on tap. Hardly a brewing company. Many better breweries in Monterey area.

This place was recommended by my husband's boss. Delicious food.

Nice brew pub in town. Only visited for drinks but received a warm friendly welcome & quick attentive service.
Unfortunately didn't get to sample their own beers as they're searching for a head Brewer.

Clam chowder in a bread bowl and a couple pints! Nuff said.

Great selection of beers, reasonably priced and good ambience

Great cocktails served by courteous and attentive staff. Their clam chowder is bomb too!

Friendly staff and good food. This is a taproom as they do not have their own house brew. However, they provide a wide selection of excellent beers.

Meh, I had high hopes but was let down pretty hard.

After traveling for several hour with my family I was looking forward to a decent beer and a nice meal. Right of the bat the waiter was rude, probably because I had kids. He seemed rather put off that I was taking a while to decide on a beer so I ordered a water.

The food was pretty disappointing too, the presentation was actually worse than the food but it looked so bad that it was hard to enjoy. In a tourist town like this you're sure to find something better.

Extensive beer and whiskey collection. Ask for the list.

Tomato bisque good. Panko crusted sand dabs bland. Don't order it.

Kelly was the best bartender and made our experience exceptional!

Delicious! Had the California Fries and a Sling...perfect!

Good beer selection. Very kid unfreindly which is hard to believe since its around the corner from the Monterey Aquarium. Cant sit on deck by fire pits. Something about small sharp objects was what I was told by the hostess. My kids are 10 and 12 and not really going to pop the glass filled fire pit pieces into their mouths like candy. Cant sit at high tops. Just stopped in to have a beer and a sprite. Had to sit in the table waiting lobby with my family to have a drink. Wow. Leaving now.

Take this place off your list.

No warmth. We were directed to the bar. Got a table in the bar area. No acknowledgement from service team. Hostess eventually brought menus. Still waited.

Our first server(?) passed us over twice before we put in drinks. He did check if we wanted food, we indicated just drinks.

Somehow we were passed to another server... more attentive. Paid and left. Never to return...

Nice staff. Large selection of unique yet expensive beer. Was hoping for a little more out of the burgers, but left satisfied.

THIS IS NOT A BREWERY. good beer selection but not a real brew company.

This isn't an actual brewery. All of their beer is imported and expensive. They have a wide selection of beer, but it's $5 for a Coors Light...really? The average price of a pint was around $8. The service was quick and friendly, the atmosphere is pretty neat and the decor is fun. The pulled pork sandwich was big but it soaked the bottom bun through and fell apart. They had a good house salad with a citrus vinaigrette. I can see why people like this place, but overall I'd rather hit up some other local joints for a good glass of beer.

Food is awesome and it is for a great price. I couldn't ask for anything better!

I'm giving you 4 stars cause I think you're overpriced. I liked the atmosphere and beer.

Good burger. Good service but managment is pure shite. Gilroy garlic fries!? Powdered garlic sad excuse

Amazing food. Great beer selection and great service. It's not an actual brewery but totally worth a visit. Did I mention great food?

Very cozy eatery, burgers were freshly made and the service was very friendly.

Ive never written a bad review before. So this was hard for me to write. My husband and I are big craft beer fans so, the only thing that was good with our experience was the beer selection. My burger, which I ordered well done, was burned. Our buns were so dry that we opted to eat the burgers without the buns. Your probably wondering why we didnt send it back... it took a long time to get our food (on a Wednesday night) and we were starving. Our fries were so burnt and hard that we couldn't eat them either. Ive never been so dissapointed. The sad part is we took our friend from out of town here and it turned out not great. She didnt get her coke after ordering it and then when she finally did the waitress didnt come back to offer a refill. We had to ask her. Hopefully our experience was just a fluke... but I would never eat here again.

Food was average. Service was great, fast and friendly. Giving this review three stars because they do not actually brew beer here and a small selection of California or west coast beer.

Good food and a okay selection of beer. The service was a little less then I would expect which is why it is 5 stars instead of 5.

(NOT A BREWERY) True this tap room was aesthetically pleasing, but that did not soften the blow when we where informed that it was not a brewery. Food was okay.

Awesome selection of beers, but minus one star for the false advertising. This place is not a brewery.

First of all; even though their name says Brewing Company they do not brew or contract to brew any of their own beers. The food was over priced probably due in some part to location but mainly because they masquerade in a niche market, but only sell other brewers beer and gastro pub-like foods. To top it off, our waitress seemed upset she had to wait on us. It got even worse when we, four males, asked to split the check. Our waitress rolled her eyes and said we typically don t do that and had you said something when you ordered I would have put it on separate checks .....really? She literally lost a portion of her tip because of her attitude.

One of those places in the entire area to get a good cold beer on tap. That's a pretty good menu. On a sad note it's time for a refresh painting carpets are completely shot Beware of the basement warning

Great food fast service big portions worth every cent

Try the chicken picatta. You won't regret it. Great beer selection too, and the servers are always friendly.

Great service, very friendly, good ambience. Food is fantastic, well worth the visit!

I love the Chicken bacon ranch sandwich. It always has a good selection of beer. It only has 3 house beers but the selection is pretty good. The food is great.

Food was pretty good and decently priced for the area. Where this place falls flat is the staff. Hostesses seemed annoyed that they had to work and the server was depressed or something. No welcome message, never checked on us after food was served, never smiled, I know being a server can be rough, bit you check it at the door dude.

Took 20 minutes to see a waiter and another 20 to bring me the wrong beer. Can't tell you about the food we left

Great food, awesome atmosphere, and friendly staff.

Beer, food, service and atmosphere were all basic. Nothing special about this place plus it's not even a real brewery.

Friendly bartender, large selection of beers on tap, however they only brew beers seasonally.

Fantastic imaginative food. The short rib sandwich featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives are as good as advertised. It's a big bite so beware of too many appetizers. Clam chowder is authentic and full of clams and bacon, not just another sweet creamy chowder. Service was terrific and friendly. Artisan pub grub is the best description I can think of. You owe it to yourself to check this place out!

Disappointing..78 beers on tap, they don't brew anything. Should be called a tap house

Food was great, deceptively spiced hot for some. Service was good, just could not understand why it seemed like such a challenge to seat us when dining area appeared empty.

Very few beers on tap. Food has gone downhill and so expensive

Good vibe & food. Great staff! Large beer selection.

Great atmosphere to watch sports and the best burger I've ever had! The beer selection is incredible and the staff knew the menu backwards and forwards

The staff is very accommodating of kids. Drinks come in a plastic cup with a lid that you can take home. They also get the kid's food started asap so you don't have cranky, hungry little ones.

Awesome place to enjoy great food and drinks including a plethora of beers on tap inside and outside seating.......add to the already amazing experience Monterey by checking out CRBC

Everything about this place was mediocre. Nothing was impressive. They dont even brew their own beer. The waiter was about as blan as their clam chowder

Cool bar to grab a cold beer after staring at the jellyfish in the aquarium next door. Great beer selection.

The garlic fries are the best, and they have an amazing beer selection.

For being a craft beer place they had run out of the 4 first beers I tried to order. Food was good though.

A great selection of beers from all over, but contrary to its name, they do not brew their own beer.

food and beer are good. A little expensive for what it is though.

CRAPPY SERVICE and NO Local Brew but you call yourself a 'brewing company'!!! Deal killer EVERY TIME. Our waiter was too busy entertaining his friends in the next table. When I asked what the local brew was I got a geography lesson of all the brewery's in the region, again, your a brewing company with no brew ;( Food was good but pricy, lunch for four was $95.... One beer!!!

Lots of beers on tap, which is probably the most interesting thing about this place. The views are okay from outside, food is typical american/ bar fare - not good if you are looking for seafood, but okay if you want a burger and fries, wings, sandwiches etc. Or just try a few unique beers!

By far the best fish and chips I've ever had!! Definitely try them!!!

Great food, service was excellent... server was on point!

Went to have a drink celebrating a 21st birthday. Left my wallet they turned it in. The bartender and crew are amazing.

Nothing fancy. Not crowded, typical bar type food. Lots of beer choices
