What Helen Ekweonu doesn't like about Bad Shepherd Brewing Co.:
If you come for drinks then its ok but we came for a work dinner and found the menu limited and the food uninspiring. The vegan nachos didn't have much topping and came out semi warm. People who had the burgers weren't that impressed and the corn bread was sickly sweet. The only good thing were the chips. Very noisy due to the concrete floors and seats were hard and uncomfortable. We decided we would never return! View all feedback. What Adam K likes about Bad Shepherd Brewing Co.:
Awesome bbq. The brisket was juicy and super tender. Goes perfectly with the beer that's on tap. The biggest issue was trying to find some parking. Had to drive around a bit to find a space View all feedback.

Such a charming place. Local bar with a vegan menu. Burrito and mac n cheese tasted so so yum. Nice to see effort put into the vegan food at a non-vegan place.

I highly recommend trying the "Peanut Butter Porter" at this restaurant - it is exceptional. Additionally, any of their BBQ dishes are also worth trying.
