The food was great. We sat outside on a beautiful day and lived the environment. The service was really lacking. We had a reservation for 11:30 and sat down on time. We didn’t have drinks until 12:15. The server took 3 peoples drink order out of 11 people and then disappeared. I will go back and give them another try. Everyone has a bad day and this may have been the servers bad day and not a recurring issue.

We love Clouds! However, our server was extremely slow and when my husband asked for his beer after waiting 15 minutes, the server said "I need to go take care of my other table first." When our food arrived, most of it was yummy but several plates came out cold and tasted old. We went around 8:45 at night so I am not sure if that is why our food wasn't fresh and our server was ready to leave, but we definitely will not be going back at that time of day...Not sure what happened this time! We will be back and will hopefully have a better outcome next time. Definitely disappointed :(

Come here for the beer, not the food. The food will taste better after a few beers though. We ordered food and drinks and we waited for ten minutes before we got our drinks. When they brought the food, my wife’s dish was the last one out so we were all waiting awkwardly for five minutes while they cooked her mediocre fries.

We enjoyed the brunch menu. Good avocado toast! Very noisy inside dining. Would have liked the patio but it was too hot. There are no options on the brunch menu for kids but we were offered some selections such as just a waffle. Nice staff! And also enjoyed a birthday dessert.

The food was good, I would say that if you have a soy allergy, like I do, there's very little that you can choose from. Everything is cooked in soybean oil. Overall the food was very tasty, and if you don't have a soy allergy, it will be great.

I had fish tacos and my husband had the burger. Burger was over done and the tacos were very fishy. Beers were overly sour with no taste. Would not recommend. Surely there are better places to grab a beer and a sandwich.

Service here was quite terrible. We had our food before we ever got a drink and had to wave down the waitress every time we needed something. The food was mediocre, The best thing was the German Potato Salad - brats were so-so and overall there was nothing here that I would go back for.

Definitely the spot for brunch! Their food was great, arrived in a timely manner, and was unbelievably affordable. That’s not to mention the Mimosa Carafes 😋🥂 We sat on the patio - which is a VIBE (and dog-friendly) - and our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I’ll definitely be returning to Clouds Brewing!

Web menu apps is wonky. Not good ux/ui. Does not work when well when you are trying to determine what beer to choose and each time you choose --they are out. Might need to print a piece of paper so people get the description of the beer. Over all the food ws ok, served hot and service was good.

Great waitress. Front hostess was not open nor friendly. Food menu very nice for choices. Food presentation was solid. Food taste was great for a bar but lacked spice and heat if you are a foodie. Beer was 7.5 out of ten for our taste but we only tasted 6 out of the very extensive menu.
