"Typically, we associate brewery food with small, light bites optimized for soaking up a few beers. But Hold Out is an exception to the rule and a place that we’ll visit for the food alone. During the week, we’re here for the double smashburger or an order of Thai PB&J wings, but once the weekend rolls around we also like to come here for brunch. The patio holds plenty of tables, and they’re all first come, first served, which means you can get Japanese souffle pancakes with crispy fried chicken and maple-fresno chili butter on a whim." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
