Sunriver Brewing Co. - Galveston Pub

Great people watching on Galveston from the open air seating indoors. My family loves to share their generous pretzel as a starter. I tried a summer special, the Asian chicken salad. The kale, broccoli stalks, Brussels sprouts and cabbage slaw was coated in spicy peanut nummy sauce. No guilt gf pub fare.

Wagyu sliders were cooked perfectly (love the bacon jam) with a nice Caesar salad. Small but curated beer tap list. Beers were well balanced. Cans and bottles to go, I had no idea they had barreled aged beers. Friendly service. Plenty of seating indoors and out. Not very busy at lunch time. Great fast service. Overall a fun little brewery.

I’m extremely disappointed with our recent visit to Sunriver Brewing’s Galveston location. After a fun day out, my family was looking forward to a great meal, but this experience fell far short. I ordered Wagyu sliders with sweet potato fries, but the fries were burnt to the point of being black and inedible (I wish I would’ve taken a picture for reference). When I informed our server, Mallory, she acknowledged the problem and offered to replace them. However, we were in a hurry with three young kids, so I requested a refund instead. To my surprise, they only removed $2 from our bill, which didn’t seem fair, given I received no side dish. To make matters worse, a 20% "large party" gratuity was added to our bill for our party of five (two adults, two children, and an infant). Mallory explained that the baby counted toward the gratuity, even though the menu clearly stated the policy applies to parties of six or more. She did adjust the bill after some discussion, but her demeanor was notably negative, and I overheard her complaining about the situation to another server. I wrote an email to the management team to express our concerns, but I received no response, which only added to our frustration. Despite the poor food quality and inattentive service, we still left a tip out of respect for the service industry. However, we left feeling unwelcome and hesitant to return. Families should feel valued and respected when dining out, and unfortunately, that was not the case here. I hope the management will take this feedback seriously, as it reflects poorly on the establishment as a whole.

As a huge fan of Sunriver Brewing, both their beer and brand, it’s incredibly disappointing to have to leave this 1-star review. I’ve always loved their brews and was really looking forward to sharing the full experience with my family. Unfortunately, our visit was anything but enjoyable. Despite the restaurant not being particularly busy and appearing fully staffed, it took nearly 45 minutes just to get our drinks going, and almost two hours for our food to arrive. When it did, much of it was inedible. My daughter’s burger was completely charred and bone-dry, and the “wagyu” sliders we ordered to-go were also extremely overcooked. The Cajun tots were over-seasoned to the point that you couldn't eat them. For a $235 tab, we expected at least a basic level of care and quality, neither of which were present during our visit. It genuinely felt like there was no quality control of the kitchen or its staff. I hope this was an isolated incident, but in reading other recent reviews here on Google now, it appears we were not alone. This experience certainly didn’t reflect the high standard I’ve come to associate with Sunriver Brewing.

Had a great experience; kitchen brought out a bacon treat for our dog :) for humans I recommend the Nashville chicken sandwich... Really good spice blend. Didn't have a wait time for outside! Cheers

We had a large group! I say that because that seems to make a difference to the restaurant and service as an excuse for lack of performance! I have reviewed many restaurants and breweries but today was really bad! Apparently you cannot order your burger to taste! I ordered a bacon burger medium but their default is medium well so it came well done! I pointed out that this was not medium and the waiter immediately pointed out that that is their default and if I wanted to get another burger it would be 45 minutes because the kitchen was backed up? But there are empty tables! What kind of manager can’t manage a three quarters full restaurant? Beside my burger being cooked wrong so was my friends wife’s! But of course she wouldn’t say anything about it. Both burgers were warm to cold as well! They comped my burger, like that was supposed to make everything ok? Now I am livid and embarrassing my friends! But right is right! Then we ask to have the bill split and the waiter gets that all messed up and blames it on the computer? Once he gets that straightened out they factor in a tax(tip?)for service that was horrible! And yes it’s a tax when you can’t make the choice yourself! This was by far the worst experience in a brew pub! People make mistakes but when they don’t own them I am done!! Never again here or any of their other locations!

Our party of 6 had 4 orders of the wagyu beef sliders. Each order was so overcooked and dry. The sliders were hard. It was a big disappointment, considering it was wagyu beef. One of the persons to order the sliders mentioned how this was their favorite dish here, but never wanted to order it again.

food was good, service was terrible. there was 5 of us and i don’t know if it was cause our waitress was having a bad day or she was mad there was that many people. we had to get her attention a few times to ask for simple things like water, and sauce. she seemed annoyed the whole time we were there, only nice at the end hoping for a good tip.

Sunriver Brewing is a local classic, having expanded to multiple pubs in the Bend area and beyond. The West Side has a mini brewery block so this location is next to two others worth checking out. This pub is in a cool old building; the interior is mostly wood but I was also struck by all the awards at the entrance, usually a great sign of quality beer. In addition to draft, they have a number of drink-on-site bottles on the menu from an extensive cellar. As we had already eaten lunch, we had pretzels with our beer for a delicious snack. Our server was super friendly and funny with us, which always adds to a positive experience. I had a flight and loved all the beer here too. They have a large outdoor seating area in the back as well; it's a great area for fresh air and great beer. I look forward to visiting their other locations on future trips.

We arrived just after opening and got to choose our table outside in the shade. We ordered the chicken caprese sliders, pickle fries and spicy chicken sandwich. The pickles were large spears dressed in cornmeal breading and fried perfectly. We love trying fried pickles any chance we get, these unfortunately were not high on our list of favorites. The pickles were a bit too big and a little soggy like they hadn't been dried before cooking. I wouldn't order these again, despite the healthy portion. The chicken slider was delicious, sweet sauce, tender chicken and filling. The sweet potato fries were crispy outside and soft inside, just the way I like them. The regular fries were seasoned and a little crispy on the outside as well. The chicken sandwich was battered and cooked well. Nice flavor. Overall a good lunch. My guy said the hazy beer was very good. Service was good. Outdoor seating was comfortable in the sun!

Solid food, drink and service. We sat outside on a warm, breezy June afternoon. Patio had ample shade and sun. Good time overall!

Michael tending bar was great, knowledgeable about the beer fun to talk too. We had several beers enjoying them all. Sun River at all the places we've visited have been great

Service was good and they seated us right away on a Monday evening. Food is basic, my husband loved his burger but my salad was soaked in dressing and nothing special. I think breweries are often know for having great food don't feel like it is the case here. There are better places to eat in Bend.

First time here. Came in to try the Vicious Mosquito IPA. Loved everything we tasted. Great service behind the bar, attentive and super friendly! Next time we will try their food menu everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing! Awesome merch too! Definitely be back!

Hit this place twice today. It's located in a neat part of town. Nice digs and bar stool area if it's not packed out. Plenty of tables inside and out however. Tried their craft. Thumbs up from the IPA guy. My wife had a specialty cocktail that she ordered as we were leaving. She threw it back cowboy style to the cheers of the barkeep. Well be back for food! The wings smell delicious.

Worth the pit stop in Bend! Was recommended this spot by a friend and decided to make the little detour. They had a little parking lot to the side of the pub as well as street parking. Place was popping on a warm Sunday afternoon. They offer bar seat, plenty of air conditioned indoor seating as well as a spacious outdoor patio. We opted to sit outside as it was a beautiful sunny day. QR code menus in the table. We were greeted pretty quickly, but we started off with some beers. My partner got the Rivermark, a bohemian Pilsner, and I order a flight of six. On that day they had a good variety on draft, from IPAs to pale ales, stouts to pilsners, they even offer mixed drinks too for those not feeling beer. I enjoyed trying their beer, for being an IPA gal usually, I ended up liking their bohemian Pilsner the best! A fairly classic pub food menu, we decided to share the Mediterranean salad with chicken on the side as well as the general TSO fried cauliflower. The salad was refreshing light and delicious, really enjoyed the dressing. The cauliflower was top notch as well. The sauce was so good, kind of similar to sweet and sour, but better. Was the perfect size snacks for two. Definitely recommend checking out for some refreshing beverages and good vibes!

We had a chance to have a fun family dinner at Sunriver- the beer was wonderful and refreshing, our server was the best! He was so engaging and answered all of our questions with great descriptions of the food and beer choices. We had the fried pickles, pretzel sticks to start. Then opted for burgers, salad, Brussel sprouts and hot chicken sandwich. Everything was satisfying, casual and had a relaxed atmosphere!

This was our first stop when we arrived to Bend. We were both hungry and thirsty after our drive. This spot was pretty cool. I enjoyed the fish and chips and my wife grabbed the turkey dip. Everything tasted pretty good. The beer was also pretty solid. I would visit again. It was a busy day so parking was extremely limited. It was a Thursday and they had a large festival thing in the park. So I would assume most nights are better.

A great place to have a bite to eat & even better beer! Love the ambiance with the large windows that open to catch the night air! The food was fabulous - Nashville chicken sliders and general tsu cauliflower was awesome!

My family and I spent a rainy afternoon here last weekend! The heated, covered area was really nice and perfect for our group, which had a dog and a baby. Everyone enjoyed a few beers and we some some appetizers. The general Tso cauliflower and pretzel are very good. I had a cocktail that was mediocre but what can you really expect when they specialize in beer?

We have been here several times. Tonight (a Friday) was for evening drinks and light snacks. Easy parking. Quick seating (inside window). Orders placed within a few minutes. I had a seasonal beer. The wife had a fruity concoction. She had a Caesar Salad with bacon )um, yes please!). I had a pretzel. Everything tasted great. The Caesar was not drenched in dressing and the bacon looked and tasted freshly cooked. This is a regular (and mandatory) stop for me when I come into town. Never fails to deliver.

My hubby and I are visiting in Bend Oregon from Seattle now. We wanted to drink good beer. I checked yelp and came to here. We liked atmosphere here. We ordered fuzztail beer for both of us and Bacon Brew Burger and kickin Truffle BLT. I love that taste of fuzztail very much. I'm a non alcohol person but I liked it. And my Kickin Truffle BLT was a tasty. But my hubby's burger was no taste of meat. He left a half of burger...little disappointed that. By the way, we loved guy named "Gram" for the service. He was super nice and good knowledge of beer and suggestions.

Amazing food. Huge portions. Well assembled. Awesome combos. Dave was great. Good suggestions. Nice views with a breeze.

Great service and food. I had the wedge salad, a burger and cider. My son had the sliders and fries. All very tasty. Sat outside in the sun which made it all the more enjoyable.

On a 0dg night, my wife and walk to the brewery and had the best grilled cheese sandwiches and a bowl of hot tomato soup, along with a few drinks. The food was awesome and our server was as good as the food

Went here for dinner the other night. We definitely loved the ambience of the place. We ordered the Sweet Potato Curry and the Nachos. The Curry was fabulous, I could eat that everyday. The Nachos were just alright. We got them pretty quickly when we ordered them and we're surprised because the server told us things were a little behind because they were so busy. Needless to say, we were happy with the quick service. But when we started eating them it seemed like they were pretty cold. It didn't bother me too much but it did the person I was with. The server noticed that something was not quite right and asked how it was. After letting her know she got another order for us super fast. That was awesome again, but still, they were cold. So we just figure that's the way it is. We got both got flights of beer. I'm more of a sour beer person so I only liked about half of my beers. But I know that Sunriver beer is a go to for a lot of people. All in all we would go back again.

Good beer and pub food in a great location! Their nachos had great cheese and the southwest salad had a salsa ranch dressing which was super tasty and interesting! Giving it 3 instead of 5 stars because it wasn't anything super unique or spectacular separating it from any other brewery.

Comfortable space but doesn't feel like a brewery pub, if that's what you're looking for. Menu is like a brew pub though: wings, burgers, nachos. The food was fine and the chef did let us order "late" What's a bit odd is I asked for their "impossible" vegan burger but said "without the stuff on it" meaning the onions or cheese or Mayo. I said I just wanted the burger with ketchup and mustard. They brought the party out, o bun,

Cool place with a good selection of beer and a nice bartender. I had the porter and it was delicious. I did not get to try the food but looked like all the dishes were enjoyed.

Bend me shape me anyway you want - you are all the brew that I need ( my spin on American Breed lyrics year 1968). Bend has a bucket full of gastro brewpubs. And Sunriver Bend brew and grub rocks and rolls 60's style? Sunriver Bend has the 4 essentials foodies crave and need - 1) a protein, 2) some fiber, 3) vegetables and 4) really really good craft beer! That's it! Go for the fish tacos - corn tortillas, napa cabbage slaw, blackbeans, spicy crema, blackened NW cod plus a Clearview west coast style IPA equals the 4 foodie essentials. Comes with tortilla chips and salsa. These tacos are loaded up delicious-ness! Our server was on the spot - in the know - and ready to go for more brews. Sunriver Bend has some great IPA's as good as any at Crux, Deschutes, Worthy, Boneyard - you name it. Baby we will be back to rock and roll this brew pub and grub!

Had great food and beer, really enjoyed the burger and sweet potato fries. One of the members of our party had a spice allergy to which she informed the waiter. However, when the food came the dressing with a side greens was spicy which wasn't edible due to the allergy. We asked the waiter if it had any pepper or spice in it and he said no, other members of the table tried the sauce and agreed that there was indeed spice in it. At this point, no big deal, easy mistake to make as a waiter all he needs to do is just replace the small side of greens with no sauce! Which is exactly what we asked for next. However, he said he could do that but would have to charge for the greens. Extremely abnormal to do so especially with something as cheap as side lettuce. We said that normally a restaurant would do this for free or the server would just automatically bring it back to the kitchen and replace it no questions asked, however the waiter responded with "excuse you, the dressing has no spice." Extremely unprofessional, while the kid was young, he still should not have acted that way. He also offered to give us the recipe to prove there was no spice however, when we said that would be great he said actually I can't give you the recipe. Really a shame because the food was great, just never seen this level of unprofessionalism at a restaurant. For future reference, if someone has a food allergen and the waiter does not know, it's no big deal to make a mistake but in practice, the customer is always right, having worked as a waiter myself I know this. Just replace the probably half a dollar salad which would take 2 minutes and all would be fine. The waiter was really nice outside of this instance, so weird!

We decided to eat in tonight and Sunriver was the choice. It was conveniently located, had a nice selection of different foods and good beer selection Ended up getting the wavy sliders which I would definitely get again. It had a sweet homey feel with crisp and nice roles. Also got the turkey dip which was different but also good. And paired with a growler off IPA The Togo packaging was well done, fries were still crispy and the dip sauce was separate in a different container

Nice spot to grab a pint near Drake park. Beer is good, and the shaded patio was great on a hot day. Staff was pretty friendly, although they did screw up my order. I wanted to have their Pub Smash burger, but for some reason I ended up getting the Impossible Smash burger. They said it was because it used to be that only the Impossible was called smash, but I find that hard to believe. Either way, the food was really good. My wife even commented on how good the beef was before we figured out it was the impossible burger. Her club sandwich was really good, their bacon was delicious and thick. Gotta knock them a bit on the screw up, plus apparently they shut down the grill after my burger, so I couldn't even get the right one. I guess just don't come here when its close to 100 degrees outside if you want a burger? Good spot and good food though.

Maggie and Rachel exceptional with quick service and attentive! High Five girls! Well the whole employees were GREAT! COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF! BIG PORTIONS!Bartender Maggie SUPER! Rachel fast n smiley

Great ambience and the menu offers a large selection of food and drink items. The beef sliders were a little dry but the fries were delicious! Beer is good and consistent. Had a margarita which was so yummy! The service was very slow on drinks... took almost 15 min to get a beer and drink - we were afraid our food would come out first.

Pork Natchos, Humus plate. Pretzel, Wings, Salad, and beer were all very good... good variety of beer from IPA's to Hefeweissen.

We love this place. The wait is usually less than they quote, which I appreciate. Food is delicious and they have an area for kids to play, which I love.

Sunriver's Galveston Pub has the best fish and chips in Bend by far. The fish is always cooked perfectly and the batter is crispy, thin and very flavorful. Perfect execution every time. The consistency is amazing. And the staff is great. Very friendly and accommodating. My other favorite is the turkey dip. It's crazy good.

The food here was beyond amazing. Loved the atmosphere- very fitting and comfortable. Exactly what that region feels like. Our waiter was attentive and kept us happy. Looking forward to the next time!

We've been many times but this last visit was by far the best. Soleli (I hope that spelling is correct) was the best waiter we've ever had while eating at Sunriver and the food was exactly as requested/hoped for. We had two young children and four adults and would go back in a heart beat due to the service, quality of food, and ambiance of the restaurant. The great beer is always a plus too! Highly recommend.

Good restaurant with very attentive and friendly staff. We had the nachos, pub burger, and a turkey dip sandwich. We ate on the patio which was nice but the restaurant looks great also.

You don't have to go twenty miles outside of town for Sunriver. It's here in Bend! Great pale and assorted beers. Try the wagu sliders! The outside tent seating is lovely. Parking is across the street in the lot that says to baker building. Bathroom is clean. Would definitely comeback if on this side of town.

Marionberry lemonade, cup of chili, grilled chicken sandwich was amazing. Loved every moment. I sat at the bar and the server refilled my drink at the very moment I finished the last. I think I had about eight of them...

Great restaurant! I was seated quickly and served fast as well even though the restaurant was pretty busy. I ordered the Buffalo crispy chicken sando with fries and it was delicious...all very delicious. Highly recommend checking it out. Oh and I can't remember the name of it but I got the only cider they have and it was also pretty good.

Came here for a private event (rehearsal dinner & cocktail reception) and could not have been more impressed with the entire staff. Was totally shocked to hear that they are not used to doing private events as they knocked it out of the park. Food was amazing...cocktails were delicious & service was top notch. Well done!!!! Will definitely be back next trip to Bend.

Normally I would give Sunriver Brewing Co a higher rating, but after three recent visits to the Galveston pub, I can only support 3 stars. Great service, as always, and good atmosphere, but what has happened to the food? Tomato soup was so spicy on our recent visit that no one at our table would eat it. Fries were cold and blah. Same with the sliders - not impressed. Kids liked the fish and chips though. Overall, the food just doesn't have the same quality as we have experienced in the past. And, we miss the salmon burger! We get that staffing and resourcing is hard lately, so we have been patient, and hope it improves. Again...where's the salmon burger????

We have been to Sun River Brewing every year we're in town and have always enjoyed both the food, service and atmosphere. Tonight we only enjoyed 2 of the 3. Our dinner both a pretzel and curry bowl tasted great as always. The wait for our food was a bit long but one never knows the back story of the restaurant. However our server tonight from the minute we sat down was sassy, brief and definitely not friendly. After she took our order with a lot of attitude on her behalf she rarely glanced our way let alone asked if we needed another drink or water ( the water was almost out and my wine was done) In the past we've always had excellent / friendly service. We probably won't come back for dinner based on tonight which bums us out because we love the food and beer.

Excellent beers and drinks, nice comfortable ambience, several food trucks with great food, good service. Loved the place. I had a burrito and a hazy IPA. Both were very good.

What an amazing experience me and my 15 friends came here and were blown away by the impeccable service. Great banter with staff and fun, yet classy music. You won't find fresher hops anywhere else. Highly recommend!!!

My friend lives in Bend and highly recommend this place so had to try it. The Baja tacos were one of the best we ever had.My husband loved his beer too and sitting outside on their patio was nice. Parking is a little challenging but had no problem on weekday for lunch. We probably could walk from our hotel,DoubleTree Hilton .

My daughter and I spent our afternoon here at Sunriver and right off the bay, Maggie made us feel like VIPs with her outstanding service and knowledge of the menu. Food and beer was excellent, we are definitely coming back and asking for Maggie!

Had dinner tonight 8/29 are Sunriver Brewing. Food was great but the service was excellent. Christy was so personal and her suggestions were perfect. She is a keeper. Loved talking with her.

A tasty stop approximately a mile from the AirBnB we normally stay at. So it makes for a nice walk. What's nice about Bend is it isn't spoilt with the extremely bright outside lights so be sure and bring your flashlight and/or headlamp. I'm not a beer person so I cannot speak to that aspect but the food was very good. They had a variety of salads and sandwiches. I stuck with a chicken Caesar which is always a good choice and this one was better than most. Atmosphere can get loud at times (to be expected) but all in all good. Service was not bad we have been here a few times and there are definitely some more skilled than others. All in all a good stop. I'll go back again.

I really do enjoy this place overall. The beer is very delicious and they have a nice selection. The service is mostly friendly, though I've had some misses on this here and there. It's generally quite busy, but what I like about this place is that you rarely have to wait for a table (unlike 10 Barrel next door.) The parking in this area is kinda crappy, but that's sort of the thing in Bend. My issues of late: burger way over-cooked twice. One time I forgave it because it was so, so busy. The second time, it was not busy at all. :( Also, the prices are pretty steep. If I get a salmon cobb from Brother John's (couple blocks away), it runs me $12.50. If I get one from here, the salmon ALONE is $10, salad is $11 for a total of $21! Yikes! So, I don't get that at Sunriver Brewing. The burgers run $13, which would be just fine if it weren't for over-cooking them. They did take care of the burger for me, but it's just a bummer when you are stuck with complaining. Twice. They are nice to doggies here, which I also like. :) You can even order your furry friend a burger of his own. He probably won't care if it's overdone. Ha.

Great beer and an amazing pretzels. According to my husband is the best cheese sauce for pretzels EVER. Chalky rock beer.... for an amber it was a little extra hoppy. Coca Cow Chocolate Milk Stout was to die for. This is a must stop in Bend

We stopped by Sunriver Brewing on an unusually hot day and were so glad to find outdoor dining in the shade with a nice breeze. I quenched my thirst with Cocoa Cow Chocolate Milk Stout and others in our group quenched theirs with marionnberry lemonade. Both drinks were excellent. For lunch we had fish tacos and chicken tacos with soft taco shells. They were really tasty and the shells were slightly toasted for a bit of a crunch. The Vietnamese banh mi sandwich was also a big hit. The fried avocado appetizer was interesting but not repeat worthy. Service was oustanding.

Another good brewery. Good selection of beer. The husband is a fan of Vicious Mosquito. I liked the marionberry lemonade. Food wise, everything looked good. We had the special which is grilled chicken sando and lamb gyro. The chicken sando was delicious and huge. The lamb gyro wasn't as successful. I was expecting a gyro but got a lamb gyro plate instead. I didn't particularly like the meat. It was crunchy instead of moist. I did enjoy the salad that came with it. I might try one of their sandwiches or maybe even the pot roast next time. I also thought the price of food is more on the pricier side. This seems like a local favorite on the west side. Our server, Rachel was nice and friendly too. It is also highly appreciated that they offer military discount.

Awesome place. We liked our beer selections along the variety of the simple but tasty food plates. We are definitely going back to try the rest of their menu. We had BBQ pulled pork sandwich which was good and had a nice smoky smell. The fried cauliflower dish was a great hit. It brought out asian tastes with teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds. Then the falafel sandwich also provided a nice middle-astern twist. All just helped us have a great food experience in a unique sitting arrangement. The only I didn't like was the cleanliness of the men's restroom. It needed to be much more cleaner and please avoid extreme wet floors. It's unsanitary. The table service was good and just adequate. Update- went back two more times around Dec. 2018 holidays. Once with a large group as a family and another after a day of skiing. The food and the craft beers hit the spot every time. Just a great combination. The cold draft by the back door was bothersome and not much anyone could do. We asked to put up a sign to avoid using one of the double doors and when 1/2 the population paid attention it worked, other times it was just painfully uncomfortably cold.
