We enjoyed our beers! The food was fine, not anything to write home about and I’m not sure I’d recommend the gyro … but my husbands burger looked good! The hostess was not the kindest person I’ve ever encountered and I discovered on my own that while we waited for a table we could have a beer at the bar. Our waitress also never brought napkins or silverware so we had to track those down on our own.

Stopped by Maumee Bay Brewing Company and, of course, had to try their Giant Pretzel ($17.50)—and it absolutely lived up to its name! This was hands down the biggest and thickest pretzel I’ve ever had. The texture was spot on: a slight crisp on the outside with a soft, pillowy inside. You get a choice of a sweet seasonal dip or beer cheese; we went with the sweet option, which was a cinnamon butter. Unfortunately, the dip was a little disappointing—it came straight from the fridge and was too firm to spread easily. If I had to do it again, I’d go for the beer cheese instead. Since we skipped the beer cheese with the pretzel, we decided to try the Beer Cheese Soup ($7 for a bowl) instead of just a cup. It was a bit on the salty side, but dipping the pretzel in it balanced it out. We also got a 6-drink sample ($8.25), which was fun but nothing particularly standout. Still, it’s a good way to try a variety if you’re unsure what to get. Overall, the pretzel was the star, but I’d recommend going with the beer cheese unless you prefer sweet flavors or aren’t a fan of cheese. The brewery itself has a cool and cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot to hang out. Would definitely come back to try more of their food!

Was camping near Toledo. So stopped in for a sandwich and a drink. I like Breweries that serve more than just beer wine and cider. I'm a liquor drinker and was able to get a long island. Which made me happy. Got a free sticker. And bought a shirt. My Sandwich was delicious and the chips were good. Everything at out table was good. We had a group of 7.

Stop two on our little brewery tour of Toledo. This place is massive and full of charm and character. This used to be a hotel (Oliver Place is now an apartment building) and there are two floors with tons of space to enjoy. Instead of a flight like I usually try on a first visit, I went with the “Ballgame” Kölsch. Super crisp with hints of caramel and peanuts, the perfect quaff for a ballgame! For dinner, I had the pulled pork sandwich with fresh cut fries and a side of Brussels Sprouts. All was tasty. The sprouts could use work as they were slightly dry and the stumps were still attached. Service was great and the staff was super friendly. Will definitely be back!

I read about this place and took my family of four to check it out. It's tucked away down a brick street in a 150+ year old building and it's awesome. We had Noah as a server and he was superb. Him and the hostess both said it was their first brunch they worked so they weren't quite sure about process, but super friendly. We asked what others thought about the brunch top dishes and was told "everything; you won't be disappointed".... And they were correct! My son had the pb&j French toast... And i lost my mind... The bacon and cream cheese added was unreal... Creamy, sweet, salty and friggin rad. Only thing, you have to spread the cream cheese since it was a glob. My daughter had the avocado toast, and that was delicious, with the fried egg on top and microgreens. My wife had the Florentine omelet and it was equally delicious... It did need salt and pepper, but still a great omelet! I had the breakfast tacos and the chorizo waz on point. Homemade pico was good and we devoured everything as best we could. Portions were spot on.... But the other best part, taking a look around at the old building and all the rooms. You go upstairs and you can the brewers. They have outdoor seating as well. So do yourself a favor and go check this place out.

The food was good with large portions. The beer was so flavorful. Our server was so full of personality and kind. She was also on it everytime we needed her. I would definitely go back here.

Wow. The food and beer were exceptional but our bartender actually took the time to give us a full tour of this historic building AFTER her shift. I cannot say enough about how enjoyable this visit was. Thank you!

What a neat place! While on vacation in the Toledo area we found Maumee Bay brewing. It was great! The atmosphere was super neat and it had a great outdoor patio. The beer selection was really nice and had a ton to choose from! We chose a flight and loved everything we tried! The food was great as well! Don't miss the deviled eggs and chilli as an appetizer. The donut burger was also amazing! One hundred percent recommend!

I used to frequent MBBC for lunches when they 1st opened approximately 30 years ago. I moved to LV for 20 years, and when I returned to Toledo this was one of the restaurants I wanted to go back to for its beer cheese soup and the beer flights. It was delicious, and the decor has the same charm as I remembered . The wood-fired pizza had a nice cheese pull to it, also! Our waitress was very friendly and did a great job assisting us with order choices. I can't wait to come back to check out the patio seating.

Gorgeous upstairs and down with warm wood, big windows, and a big bar on each level. We were able to do a tasting- loved it! They have deviled eggs of day - special burger, etc so make sure to ask! I had duck wings, they also have regular chicken wings. My partner- a burger with peanut butter- delicious! We shall return for sure!

Beer- 4 stars Apps- 4 stars Atmosphere- 4 stars Food- 2.5 MBB was pretty inconsistent. The space itself is very cool, the converted Oliver House. They offer a variety of beers, wine, and cocktails as well. They have a good menu with a variety of options, burgers, pizza, salads. As others mentioned, the hostesses did not seem to want to be there. She seemed annoyed to seat our group of six, though it was 2pm and was not very busy. Luckily our server was good, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. I do not drink beer, but I did like their cider. My beer drinking friends did like them, rating the beer as a four. We shared the giant pretzel, which really is giant, and the Pickel bread, which was more like pickel pizza. Both were awesome. What was not good was a majority or the rest of our meal. The bread on my sandwich was dry and stale. Quiche was not good, very flavorful less and too soft. Mac and cheese was not cheesy, my friend barely ate any. The potatoes on the brat platter were good, but the brat was not, it was already split and soft, my friend described it as being a tofu dog. The only items that were good were the Cesar salad and the beer cheese soup. Overall: come for the beer and apps, skip a meal

This place can get busy especially when the walleye are playing. There is an upstairs and downstairs seating area. Lots of beer memorbilia. I got the mushroom melt and the Christmas beer. The sandwich was delicious. It came with homemade chips. That was my favorite. I would definitely recommend the homemade chips. Obviously lots of beer options since it's a brewery. Great beer options. Love the glasshopper ipa. The pretzel is huge and def a table share. The spinach artichoke wasn't as thick as I'm used to. Will definitely go back. Great atmosphere.

We were there early right at opening for the most part. Lots and lots of parking lots so I assume it gets really busy. We sat close to the bar and I did see there is some patio seating. Tried their white sangria and it is light & refreshing! Ordered the six pack omelette which was full of veggies and sausage almost more than the egg. I think we should check it out later in the day to get and confirm the vibe

We were visiting from out of town and didn't realize how many places were closed on Mondays. We came here seeking beer and pizza. The hostess seated us fairly quickly, given how small the restaurant is. I didn't see any beers I liked, so I tried the Blueberry Muffin cocktail. It was different but not bad. My husband got an ipa, which he thought was alright. We also split a taco pizza and an order of waffle fries. The fries were good. The pizza was mediocre, which was too bad. The crust was really good, but the pizza over all could have been called a hamburger pizza and you wouldn't have know the difference. We added salsa and sour cream, and that helped. It's an okay spot to stop, but I wouldn't seek it out.

It's gotten to the point where we'll take a year off in between visits, come back and immediately remind ourselves why we took the previous year off. Food is completely miss over hit, and while the atmosphere is as killer as ever, it's just not worth the frustration of poorly executed food. Yes, the chicken sandwich is still one of the best in the city, but it's going to take a complete overhaul of the menu and kitchen before it will ever come back into our regular rotation. So dang disappointing.

The food is not that memorable but they do have an extensive menu and I'm sure there's something for everyone here. What was memorable for me was the beer artifacts. They have an impressive wall filled with shelves of different types of beers. On top of that, there's also cases full of vintage beer momentos. This is a fun little place to stop with friends, enjoy some beers and look at some beer history.

Cool building and history. We went on a Saturday shortly after opening for "brunch". I ordered the avocado toast and was GREATLY disappointed. The toast was grocery store sandwich bread, the avocado was not seasoned, there was no feta or micro greens on top. My husband's 3 egg omelette definitely was not made with 3 eggs ! Overall the food was subpar at best.

Stopped in at Maumee Bay Brewing for a late dinner after a trip to the Toledo Zoo Lights Before Christmas. We only had to wait for a table to be cleaned before being seated in the upstairs portion of the restaurant. There is also a full far in this area, and this room also houses the beer vats, so there was a lot to look at. Several tvs around the room playing various channels - a little something for everyone. We started off by ordering a flight - 6 choices for $8.25. This price was lower than we normally pay for a choice of 4 at one of our go-tos in Sylvania. MBBC had a very decent selection to choose from, and a couple of my choices were standouts, in my opinion. Next were the food choices - we both ordered salads since it was later in the evening. Our server was very helpful in making suggestions for both our food and flight. The only knock for our visit at Maumee Bay Brewing Co. was the portion size of the salmon I added to my salad. It was maybe an ounce or 2, and it cost me $7. Needless to say, that was a disappointment. I didn't say anything because of it being so late in the evening. Everything else besides the tiny sample of salmon on my salad was above board. We will visit Maumee Bay Brewing more often.

I love stouts and Total Eclipse from Maumee Bay Brewing was a great one! With the solar eclipse, several breweries are making a marketing effort to capitalize on it, which is fun. I'm a sucker for a good theme, so I had to check this one out. I must say Maumee Bay has hit a home run with this selection!

Absolutely Fantastic! We were doing a staycation this year and planned to go to several new to us restaurants. This was by far our family's favorite one. We grabbed the Large Pretzel for an appetizer, my husband tried two of the beers and loved them both. Then we all got something different. The price was great too! We ended up going on a Monday so two or the kids meals were free. Everyone loved everything. We will absolutely be going back!

Went here for lunch today (Thursday) and it was so bad. Very disappointing. I don't know how this places stays in business. Service was on the slow side, even though it was after the lunch rush. The only reason we went there was so my kids could get a giant pretzel. After we ordered and waited a bit the waitress came back and said they were out of them. My dad got a cheeseburger and they forgot the cheese, I got a French dip type sandwich with added onions and mushrooms. They forgot those as well. The au jus that came with it tasted weird and was flavorless for the most part. Since she must have already put in the order for the adult's food and had to come back and get another order for the kids food the adult's food was dry like it had been sitting a while. The waitress offered to have ours remade, but we had already been waiting a while and were hungry so we just dealt with it. We aren't the type of people to really complain, but I do appreciate an apology from the manager or something free, or a portion of the bill being comped for the bad food. Nothing was offered. I have been to this restaurant many times and it has always been fine. Very disappointed in this visit and can't say I'll be back. It's a cute place, but I don't know how it stays in business when it can be that bad.

I am anxious to read others take on the "Easter Buffet", as I was extremely disappointed. 50 people in the waiting area and 1 person at desk, total disorganization. Food....frozen carrots...not thoroughly cooked, very dry scalloped potatoes, over done chicken, dessert table with no plates. I could go on but why. On a positive note, server Gabe was excellent and was tipped well.

My husband had been here before years ago, I'm glad it was still open and survived the CV disaster. I really liked the atmosphere in the bar. We sat at the bar and had quick pleasant service. The food was good and they had a good beer selection and cocktails. We would stop again.

This is a brick building in downtown Toledo. Several stories with a bar (maybe two). There are private rooms that are quaint and I got married in the fireside room. The pretzel was huge and so good! Definitely a must-have! I got the quiche of the day which was ham & tomato. It was good but very light in the ham. Also had a side of fruit. The server was attentive and patient. I'd like to go back and see the rest of the place when I'm not getting married

Two words - pickle pizza. Must get this. I also got a salad and it was yummy. Our server was nice even when we spilled water. The ambiance is fun because you're in a brewery (the downstairs part). It was yummy, glad we went while visiting Ohio!

Horrible! We had reservations at 3:00 and stood in line for 55 minutes to get seated. Then had to wait in line for the food for another half an hour. Organization was horrible. They should have staggered the seating. Then to make matters worse, two of our party had to leave with a sick baby and we asked if we could have a refund or to take two dinners to go and were denied because of health codes. But another group of people were taking to go boxes because one of their party couldn't make it and the manager said well someone will be in trouble....total BS! We will not be returning here again. The food wasn't that good either!!!

DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT!! VERY RACIST!! First and last time I will ever go here. Went here for what would be a 1st lunch date. Got there before noon so only 3 other couples were there, one which was at the bar. We were seated behind a pole. Waited to be even asked for drinks. Bartender juat happen to walk past. We ordered an appetizer and 2 sandwiches. After 3 other white couples came in and ordered and received their food o said something. Manager had the nerve to say waitress was upstairs bit clearly not. Then when I called out the racism he had the nerve to say he had black people in the back. It was like a scene from "The Green Book" BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT SPEND YOUR BLACK DOLLARS HERE!! I give this place a big ZERO but since I can't here's your one

Criss R.

Yelp
To start, the bartender must have been having a day. She was rude & unorganized behind the bar. We picked this place because it stated that it had wood fired pizza AND it was brewery. Brewery, yes...maybe not the best as the 3 beers we tried had similar bad taste...very bitter. Not sure if the hops were bad or if the lines had not been sanitized. If the pizza was wood fired, I would challenge that! Also, the pizza was not even luke warm. The ambience overall is pretty cool but not worth the wait or money!

Really disappointed in our meal Both me and my son ordered Ruebens and onion rings along with a $17 pretzel with cheese. As soon as I touched one of the onion rings I could tell I would not like them. For one thing, the onion rings were soft, too soft and the breading had a weird taste, sent those back. The ruebens were just so-so. When asked to get some extra cheese to take home with our left over petzel, was advised instead of removing the onion rings from our bill, the waitress said she was giving us the cup of cheese for the pretzel instead of taking off the onion rings. Told her to keep the cheese and take the onion rings off the bill. Like I always say, I like to try new places and if I don't like the food, I just wont go back..

Told it was an hour wait. Waited 20 mins, but when we sat down no one waited on us for 10 mins. We left. Great atmosphere, but poor service. Have to assume our short wait was due to poor service and no one wanting to wait. Seating service was poor. Unless you sit at the bar...don't bother.

This brewery is a great place, stopped here to sample the beers and took home a growler of Buckeye beer. The bartender Scotty was very helpful. The building inside is a great space and has lots for old beer decor.

This review should be zero stars. The beer is terrible. Tastes worse than most first time home brewers and unfortunately the food is worse. The wait staff is also not very good at their job. They are super friendly and nice but very slow and not very attentive. Came in on a Sunday and it was not busy only four other tables of people. This food is terrible. The margarita pizza is not edible. It's canned tomato sauce with no spices on crappy crust with a couple halves of cherry tomatoes and a few slices of dried up basil. The kids grilled cheese is toast with a slice cheese in the middle. Just stay away and save yourself the time and money. Worst restaurant meal I've had in years.

We popped in on a Saturday morning, and they are working off a weekend long limited brunch menu. The great news is we got right in, not busy at all, and that is always a delight. However the brunch menu is so, so limited, and many all breakfast foods. So not really brunch as much as.... Bougie normal breakfast foods. The table next to us seemed to echo that disappointment. I was fine with this development. My teens were less fine with this development. But we we all hungry so, onward. I ordered the cranberry and mozzarella quiche and a side of yogurt with granola and fruit. This was super good. I wish I would have ordered the broccoli cheddar quiche ONLY because the yogurt was also sweet and I should have balanced my plate more, but honestly, crazy delicious. Also consumed: the breakfast burrito with was smaller than we assumed it would be, and voted a little bit meh at our table. The chicken and waffles was a hit, the chips not so much, but the home fries on the side were a win. The avocado toast was also a tasty win. I really enjoy this spot, I just might start avoiding weekend mornings to not miss out on the expansive fare they normally offer.

Wide variety of food options with a little bit of something for everyone. They have plenty of seating outdoor, indoor, and at the bar. Service can be a little slow depending on the time of day. Really love the decor especially upstairs with lots of goodies from back in the day.

Saturday night a visit to UT family members. Food was a 2 and is a pass! MEH bar food. Ruben sandwich very... fatty and inedible. Potato chips are stale, pickles and onion ring so greasy, bring your antacid and plenty of water after. Wood for pizza it wad not! Greasy and definitely not wood fire. Go to Fifth Street in Perrysburg for 4,000 degree wood fire pizza. Alcohol is Alcohol, the beer, will it would be nice to have a tasting chart for your craft beers, so when ordering fights you can be better informed what to choose. Service, was just okay, no runners so dishes and cups piled up on table. Facilities, very cool but back drop but everything was sticky and uncleaned. Unfortunately this is what we all have to deal with. Finding quality people and the owners cutting back within all areas to retain more of their profits. Oh, and the men's bathroom needs a a deep cleaning and then inspected every hour. And put a partition between urinal and sink for the love of Mike this is so unsanitary! Others may have a better experience but one and done sadly. Just a note that our server was a good guy!

Just care about the people that are in there and not what time you're getting off. I want to love the place, but I've had two sad experiences in there.

I recently dined here on a Thursday, 5/9/24. The restaurant was not busy. The service was lacking and the food was over cooked. We had plans and were waiting for our server to acknowledge us in order to get our check, no success. After an hour of waiting we received our food, took it to go. The pulled pork sandwiched was mistakingly replaced with an overly fried fish sandwich, the pizza crust was burnt, the chicken chunks were fried to the point of being inedible, the kid's grilled cheese was edible. I voiced my concerns to the manager, via e-mail with no reply. Do not waste your hard earned money at this restaurant. The beer is not good enough to make up for the poor service or, terrible food.

Went here with a very large group, a whole hockey team and parents. We had the upstairs room, and it was loud but the servers kept up very well. The bartenders were friendly and told us some local history. Beers were great and they lots of variety. Menu also had a lot of options. I got a salad which was fresh and flavorful, some others got the dill pickle bread and the giant pretzel. Burgers also were a hit. They sell their beers by the can, they had some cool t-shirts to purchase. I would recommend this place for a couple beers with friends, or for a large group like we did. There was even a wedding out back in a fenced lawn area.

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. We've both been here before but it's been years and couldn't remember anything about it. Had to wait about a half hour for a table but there was something going on next store and peddle pubs abound. Cool looking restaurant in an old hotel I believe. Service was really great from start to finish. Food was really tasty. If you're a lover of soft pretzels make sure you order the giant appetizer. So damn good. Ordered the chunks and they give you a lot. I do wish there were more sauce on them, besides that great meal out all around.

On a given day it was let's visit some brewery's and see what kinda trouble we can get Into as that's always what's good! So coming here I feel like they've taken a hit due to the current situation so my review is tentative based on the beer and the food and I will be willing to give them another shot once things get better as I feel we missed a big portion of what this brewery is all about because of it. First let's start with the building what a beautiful old awesome place like you can just feel the history here and tell that it's huge like for that reason I feel like they are only using a small portion of it but for obvious reasons that's understandable. The brew was definitely the better part of coming here as they were yummy but definitely standard to the other ones I've had at other brewery's like nothing about either of the two that I had made me wanna have another one. The mango Jerry was flavorful but not the taste I expected it to be as it kinda just tasted like some sort of candy along with the roller coaster it was good for a seltzer but not something I'd order again. The fried pickles though those I feel needed some work and just fell short for me as I feel like they were under fried as in they were still gooey in some places inside I feel they could have been much better had they been cooked longer. Our server was awesome she was very knowledgeable and happy to serve us which is always a plus. Overall I can't say I'd run back here but like I stated before I'd definitely be willing to give them another chance at some point to see if I just came on an off day or what but either way it was beer and pickles so I'll let my next experience be the final judge.

I came to visit with my brother and Maumee Bay was suggested to us. I'm so glad we listened. Scott was our server and blew our group of 4 away. Was knowledgeable about the food and beer but also the history of the building and the brewery itself. I've been industry for years, and having the kind of passion for a place is very telling. There are great shareable options and a great deal of vegetarian options as well. Anytime I'm back in Ohio, Maumee Bay is on my list.

I came in with a positive mindset as I love supporting small businesses. I got the roller coaster cider and the vegetarian burger with a gluten free bun (For GF folks, they also have califlower pizza crust). However, when I ordered a GF entree, the waitress didn't mention that the side of fries were covered with gluten. Our waitress was nice, however the booth sitting next to us had a waiter who smelled terrible, and I usually never notice those types of things. There was live music playing that was so loud that my ears hurt towards the end and my table couldn't hear one another the whole time. My table split the spinach artichoke dip which was extremely garlicky to the point where that's kinda all you could taste. When our meals came, the toppings were all switched up and the side or mayo was huge and felt like a waste. It had an interesting crowd as well, with lots of people getting drunk early on a weekday. Overall, this restaurant was more of a bar setting rather than a sit down restaurant.

Good reuben. And by far the best falafel in town - generously sized, wrapped in perfectly heated pita bread. Better even than those served at Toledo's storied Middle Eastern restaurants. And, as others have noted, good tap selection. Their wood-fired pizzas are good, too. Also, I've long admired Maumee Bay for taking a (big) risk and kickstarting downtown's resurgence back in the mid-90s, before local and state officials pumped public money into Fifth Third Field and Huntington, before the reclaimed Warehouse District, before the cool loft apartments, before ProMedica, ... . Before all that, there was Maumee Bay, among the first microbreweries in Ohio, and its pioneering (by Toledo standards) re-use of a cool historical building. In short, it took 30 years, but a moribund downtown has been brought back from the brink, and it all started with Maumee Bay. Only four stars for this visit though, bc they were understaffed, the service was fairly slow, and the server, though friendly, had to be remimded to bring menus and, later, silverware.

Waited 10 minutes to put our name in for a table, then waited 30 minutes to be seated at a table that was open the entire time. The restaurant was not busy either where we sat. Ordered the burger of the month, only to be told later it didn't exist and needed to order something else. Ordered a sangria, only for it to never come. The waitress claimed she told the bartender 12 times to make it. Food was good, but portion sizes small for the price. 3% credit card fee. Left feeling more frustrated than full.

This has been my husband and I'd go to date night restaurant since we started dating almost 9 years ago. The food and service has always been stellar until roughly 2022, when we came a few times and didn't have the experience or service we were used to. Tonight our server was Scott S. and he is amazing! He is a veteran server who is friendly and takes the time to get to know his customers. My husband had the classic pub burger and it was delicious! I had the turkey burger and added the sweet and spicy bacon and ghost pepper cheese and it was amazing! I handle really spicy food and my mouth burned a little but it tasted so good. You can upgrade to French fries with your sandwich but we rarely do because their chips are made in house and to order! They are always great! Sorry there's no pics- we were hungry and it was amazing!

Reasonable food, menu, good beer, and excellent server who was speedy and friendly. Many restaurants are closed Monday & Tuesday in the area and this place was busy. We waited about 10 minutes before getting a table, were quickly served drinks, and got our order in shortly before two large groups (whew). The fish sandwich was good, waffle fries were good. Bratwurst sandwich looked like it had been sitting under the heat lamp for a while. Nothing stood out as great, but nothing was bad - 3 stars.

Walked in and sat down at the bar. The original bartender was great but he was at the end of his shift. We should have realized that it would turn bad when we heard the person taken over for him was late. We ordered a beer to split and both ordered something to eat. My wife received her food and I sat around for 15 minutes before I finally got up to get a manager. The bartender never checked on us after we received my wife's food so that is the reason I went to get a manager. The manager offered to take my food off but I said just take everything off. Staff was more worried about being "sick" so they could go home. Poor service and beer is basic. Since this is a negative review I would also say they need to upgrade the bathroom as the men's bathroom fixtures are made for children.

This was a cute, cheap brewery in Toledo, Ohio. Definitely a good lunch spot if you're in the area. The food isn't anything fancy but it does the job!

Not like it once was. Still great beers to choose from although I was there in the Spring and had not a fruit or a shandy in sight. It's like someone has given up trying. Nothing ever new or exciting in the menu. The wood fire pizza is basic where it once was soft fluffy and crispy is now just pizza. The burgers are still good as are a few others. The service is slow and the hostess complained to the couple In front of me that she was tired of all these Graduation parties. When I announced I was here for a graduation party she told me to go look at the screen for myself. Not very welcoming. I just wish they would try again. It's just too basic.
