Good beer selection and really solid BBQ. Quick service and a huge amount of food for the price. Plenty of parking and a nice outdoor area.

Cool local brewery, with a diverse tap list and some great barbecue on the menu. I had one of their IPAs, it was smooth and tasty without jumping off the "juiciness" scale like every NE IPA these days. It was nice to have a "normal" IPA for a change. The wings were good, plenty of smokiness and the sauce was full of flavor. The space is big, with lots of bench seating, good for groups. There are also some hightops and stools at the bar, as well as a small patio and an anteroom that was great for the pleasant weather. Counter service only, but they bring your food to your table after you order at the bar.

Boy was this place busy for happy hour on a Thursday! Love the vibe- big long beer hall tables, games, lots of chatter and enjoyment! The smoked turkey sandwich was really good! I wasn't expecting thick turkey but it was pretty tender. I did want more of that great aioli ! The chips were very seasoned! Super crisp and delicious. The Mac and cheese had great flavor. Noodles were a little over done, but still so yummy I enjoyed this place a lot! Check it out!

We had been on the road for a while, needed someplace to eat before our hotel for the evening. Great environment, wish i could have stayed longer. Food was great, the fire axe ale was perfect. We had the Mac and cheese with pork... Servers were all friendly and quick to assist. Love the home town local brews

Great experience at this brewery. I love trying food at different breweries along with having a few beers. I ordered the shrimp tacos and the Mexican lager they had on tap. To be honest, I probably should've ordered the BBQ, but the shrimp tacos were very good and light. The beer I ordered paired well with the tacos. Overall, a good experience. A good amount of space inside and if you count the Axe Throwing space you should've have too much trouble finding a seat. Service was efficient.

Stopped in while a Sanford event was going. Food bar in the front room, lots of reserved tables, and a full parking lot. Still, or maybe because of, service was fast & friendly. We grabbed a variety to share and a couple of brews. Overall a solid stop for $50

I've never had the opportunity to try this beer before but I'm glad we came across this place on our road trip . First off great facility! Lots of seating indoor, covered outdoor and fully outdoor. There's a small stage a kitchen pushing out great food and Axe throwing! Nothing I love more than drinking beers and tossing sharp objects! We bellied up to the bar and ordered a flight of beer so that we could try some of the different styles they make. The guy and the girls working the bar were great! Great customer service, good beer, great facility! We'll have to try the food next time.
