Thompson Brewing Company

I’ve visited this place for its beers but never tried their food. I had the Brisket jam burger and truffle fries with garlic sauce. The burger was delicious, and the garlic sauce complemented the fries. The honey blond was refreshing with a subtle honey flavor.

Went here with a friend. Service was great, but after that things didn't go so well. I ordered the brisket mac n cheese, which the brisket was OK but the Mac was inedible. No flavor and a chalky texture. My friend got the buffalo chicken sandwich, which she said was good but messy. The place itself looked a bit rundown and haphazard. Only 1 TV in the whole place. It is nice that they bring the food to your table (since you order at counter). However, ice machine was down, out of sour cream, some soda was out. Overall I would not likely come here again. Although, it was a brewery and neither of us got a beer. So I cannot speak to that.

Everything we had was delicious Cali burrito, brkfst totes, pud burger. And it’s all cooked with Tallow! They also have their own crafted sodas. It’s kid & dog friendly environment.

Lots of seats all over and very spacious- we went outside because we have a kiddo that likes to run and play! They have board games too, more for adults. My husband got the German lager and he liked it a lot (he’s normally a Mexican lager guy), and I got the peach seltzer and loved it!

One of the best brewery experiences I’ve ever had! The food was awesome, the beer was great, and the service made me feel like they really cared about my business. Although I don’t live in the area, I’ll definitely be coming back here every time I visit Riverside!

I have came a few different times and the service amazing! The rotating offerings of beers is great. Personally I LOVE the boozy slushy! I look forward to new offerings every time I come in! The food amazing! You MUST try the Grilled cheese WITH brisket! And do not forget your tangy bbq!

It’s rare to find a place where customer service is a priority & here as soon as you walk in the door you’re greeted by kind staff that are willing to answer your questions & make sure you have a good time. The food was delicious. We ordered Chicken Hot Mess & the Pub Burger. Both tasted great & were good portions. Would definitely visit again.

Came to give this place a try based off social media advertisements. Completely disappointed and IPA from the Liquor taste better than the beer. & the food doesn't taste any better than outback steak house. Hard pass especially with size of establishment & long wait time. Don't waist your time its over hyped like everything else on tik tok.

Came in just before closing. Last day of my Groupon. Every beer I had was warm. Their excuse was the weather is hot outside. For what you get for the price, the hamburgers are expensive. A small burger with brisket gravy and fries was over $20. That's what I was charged. Too many other places to choose from. Maybe I should not have waited to 20 minutes before closing, but that warm beer on a hot day at a brewery that's been around for quite awhile; inexcusable.

I've visited this place for its beers but never tried their food. I had the Brisket jam burger and truffle fries with garlic sauce. The burger was delicious, and the garlic sauce complemented the fries. The honey blond was refreshing with a subtle honey flavor.

5 stars for the food - it was delicious! My partner got American burger w/ fries and I got the burger salad. Everything was delicious, the smash patties were flavorful and tasty, fries fresh cut and seasoned. Sign me up! Yum! I was underwhelmed by the beer. We both got a flight and got different beers so we had a good sample, and I was just not impressed. Service was great. It's in an unexpected strip mall/commercial building type of place. I'd go back for the food for sure.

This is a family-owned spot in Riverside known for bold house-brewed beers and scratch-made food that goes way beyond typical pub fare!!!! Totally recommend pairing your beer flight with ANY of their awesome menu items. The burger here is the BEST OF THE BEST!!! And while you might be too full, please TRY to make room for the desserts. If you're a chocolate lover, the Brownie with COOKIES & CREAM ice cream is amazing!!!!!

Great spot for a Sunday afternoon! Not ideal to watch a game but still cool. I tried the pretzel and the cactus cooler slush which was good. Wouldn't commit to again because of the size though. Next was the double hazy & boy oh boy it did the trick. The cashier was fun & offered speedy service. The food comes to your table which is nice. During our visit there were lots of families and dogs and the atmosphere was very welcoming.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and the place was worth the trip. They have seating inside for those who want AC and plenty of outside seating as well. You order and then find some seating. We took longer to find a place to sit than it took for the food to arrive. Yup they were fast! They have plenty of beer options and beer flights so you can try a few. Everything we got from the menu was amazing. The staff in the front counter were very friendly and made recommendations on food. They have games upstairs which is great for hanging out with friends. Will definitely be back to try more food items and their wide selection of beers.

The food and beer was great! Burger was 10/10! We will definitely be back for more! And next time bring our dogs to hang out too!

This was my first time here. It's been a while since I have been to a local brewery. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I was there to visit friends so I was a designated driver so I did not get to experience the local craft brews. I did however get to experience some pretty good food. I have the loaded french fries with pork on it. That was a meal in itself and was very good. Also had the double American burger. The loaded french fries were better than the burger. we sat out back at the picnic tables, which was very relaxing. I was jealous of food that I saw coming out to other tables. So I definitely do wanna try other food when I return and can enjoy a craft beer. Thank you, Thompson brewing for a wonderful experience as I will be returning. Thank you.

Delicious food! The meat was exceptional quality. Tons of beers to try at this family owned brewery. Family friendly, games for the kids.

We had a great time on our visit. The service was incredible. They people are so nice, happy, and helpful. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The food was fantastic. We tried the Pub Burger, the Truffle Fries, and several of the BBQ options and I would order them all again. The beers were also great. We will be back and I highly recommend this place!

Wow. All these years Thompsons Brewery has been in my backyard and I've been missing out!!! My husband and I took our 8 & 10 year old tonight and loved it!! Great food, great cider, great service and great clientele!! Awesome, low key night out for the whole family. Pub Burger, pretzel, wings...YUM!

went there last night for my nephews birthday. I've heard / seen a lot of great things about this place on social media and I was not let down. they have the best burger I've ever had hands down! 100% will be going back even though we live about an hour away.

This place truly cares from the yummy food they put out to the amazing customer service . Me and my family were celebrating an early Mother's Day lunch here . When we got there it wasn't too busy which was nice because this place can get crowded . I ordered the brisket sandwich with the beans and the Mac and cheese . I also got a boozy slushy because why not . Overall the food came out pretty quick and they delivered it to our table . The brisket sandwich was juicy and flavorful and they were stingy with the pickles or the onions . The baked beans were amazing and they had good flavor to them and chunks of meat in them . The Mac and cheese to me tasted okay . I have had it before and it was super yummy but this time it dindt taste the same . The boozy slushy was green apple flavored and it was a not to sweet and went down super easy . Overall there was An ample seating and they have all kind of board games for the family . Overall I give this place a 5 out of 5 .

Yelp pictures vs what I got The food I received didn't quite match the appealing photos on Yelp. The presentation could definitely use some improvement, and the portion size felt a bit small for the price. As for the taste, it was just okay--the brisket was a little tougher than I expected. On the bright side, the beer selection was good and hit the spot. Overall, it was an average experience with room for improvement.

Food is good. Service is nice. The atmosphere is definitely lacking. The patio needs a power wash and is kinda cramped. The plastic folding tables and chairs in the brewery are pretty cheesy. The atmosphere definitely brings down the experience. Luckily it was on the cooler side when I went as I can't imagine sitting in a parking lot with AstroTurf on a typical riverside summer day.

Nice small brewery located in a corporate/industrial area. Varied selection of beer, I really enjoyed the cream ale. Tastes sweet from the cream. Warning to those who are lactose intolerant. Lots of hot food options. Special jalapeño sauce on the fries. Service is fast and easy, food brought directly to your table after you order at the counter.

Restaurant is located in the middle of a industrial parking lot Once inside you order then proceed upstairs to eat Food came out fairly quickly Only downside is you do have to go downstairs for refills and cups are super small Also for the price servings are extremely small as well My husband ordered a cheeseburger and came with very few fries definitely should be serving a bit more Staff was nice Total for two was $45 Are pet friendly

Amazing place to come have a drink and to top it off great bbq . All and all a great please to hangout and have a couple of drinks

In the warehouse area next to a salon for parties. Staff was nice & there was inside and outside seating. Beer options were great! Really liked the sours. Mozz sticks were good but the rest of the food was whatever could have just been the choices. We got chicken tenders & like some jalapeño fries both underwhelming. Would return for beer but not so much for food.

Came here on a Sunday with my girlfriend. I was a few minutes early so they weren't open yet. But to my surprise, there were a few groups of people already waiting outside! That's when I knew this place was going to be really good! We ordered the flight to get a variety of beer to try. My favorites were the hazy ipa and Belgian tripel. It's really cool that they have boozy slushies too (seltzer-based) We ordered the award winning pub burger and this thing was massive! Two Wagyu beef patties on a pretzel bun. Super flavorful and definitely worth the price. We also got the hot mess fries and it was really good too. Sweet and savory and giant portions too. You're for sure gonna need a nap after eating these lol Good vibes, great people. Definitely gotta check them out when you're in the area!

Oh my goodness, what a great place this is!! The people and owner were so amazing, nice and helpful They went over and above, & helped us make great choices. We were looking for a local brew place with a great cheeseburger & good beer. Wow were we amazed! Great beer on tap, cool vibe & pet friendly for our puppy The food was just what we were looking for. Hubby really enjoyed his chicken sandwich, which was tender, juicy & very flavorful! My cheeseburger was just what I was craving... delicious, juicy, perfectly cooked smash burger with amazing flavor... and at least 12 napkins required! We will definitely be back & can't wait

Small brewery. Super friendly staff. Staff was knowledgeable and made great suggestions. Multiple dining spots (4). Very casual and relaxing. Enjoyed the house favorite, double patty with brisket on a super soft pretzel bun. Fries were good. Crunchy on the outside-soft in the middle. Bringing our friends next time.

We've been here a few times now and always love this place! Casual, with good music playing, and a nice selection of good food too. The burgers, wings, chicken sandwich, pulled pork, BBQ and tots are all our faves here. And of course, all of the beers! Every flight I've done has been great. You order when you walk in at the front, and even if the line seems long, don't worry - it moves quickly and service is never slow. I also appreciate that we can comfortably bring the kids along, and not worry so much about them being louder than normal, and there are games to entertain them too.

Loved the space this place offers. Plenty of places to sit. Had the amber lager and hazy ipa and both were really great! 10/10 experience. Would return again to try the food next time!

This place was great, coffee was just like I ordered and the staff are very friendly super helpfull I sure will stop again

Blueberry lemon sour is amazing, it's a must try if you like sour beers. Their bbq brisket sandwich was delish. Service was great. The 90's pop they play keeps the vibe upbeat. This place is a must try!

My family, friends and I were looking for a place that would accommodate a large party 16 and above. We all decided this would be the place. It was busy when we got there for Saturday night. They have upgraded their food choices since last time we were here. Of course we love the beer choices too. We tasted a few beer options. In addition we would come back for their desserts We appreciate the fast service and food options. Thank you! We will come back

Stopped in with my whole family for lunch and we underestimated this place! What looked like a small venue, we discovered the beauty of maximizing space! As you walk into the front door, there are two separate lines, one is designated for drinks and the other is designated for food and drinks. The menu had so much to choose from and with our medium sized group, my family and I enjoyed a little bit of everything! After placing our order, we had choices to sit upstairs in a game room area or out back in the outdoor patio area where we were greeted by a band playing St. Paddy's Day music. Of course, we chose the patio area and enjoyed every minute the band played for us. There are picnic table seating under tents and a lot of room to move. When our food arrived, we taste tested the nachos, wings, burgers, pickled chips, and the beers! Everything was tasty! Wings came in several flavors, maple bacon and buffalo, the BBQ is delicious!! Briskets, fries, and the burgers were a good mix to include a spicy bird, Wagyu Burger, and hot mess burger to name a few. We had a blast and we love the food and beers they prepared for us! We definitely plan to visit again!

We celebrated my daughter's 40th birthday!! We had a wonderful day !!! My daughter was so happy and surprised! Kristi was so helpful with setting up our reservation!!! Staff and food was great!! The kids were able to play with some of the games and were happy too All the staff and servers were so accommodating and helpful with everything!! Thank you so much for helping us and the reservation of our tables and everything!! A few of our guests had never been before, and said they would definitely be back . Thank you for everything!!! Patricia

Hidden brewery in Riverside. Love that they had Belgian beers which is rare for breweries to have nowadays. One line for everything (beer and food) They have a back door patio. Friendly staff. The guy taking our order was kind enough to be patient to let us try some seltzers they have on tap before we order a full pint, even with a line waiting to place their orders. Food was amazing. We got a smash burger with friends. We also got wings and BBQ fries. Delicious. Definitely get a flight to get a taste of all their beers or seltzers. One thing I would say that will help them, have one line for food and another for beer. Will come back. Thanks Thompson Brewery.

If I could give them more than five stars I absolutely would !! Thompson Brewing is located in Riverside off Indiana inside a commercial building (their logo can be hard to see from the street - it will be on the front door). There is plenty of parking out front. You will find both indoor and outdoor seating here with low top tables. Ordering takes place inside at their front counter. If you choose to sit outside, it is in the back where they have setup artificial grass, Picnic tables with umbrellas and heater lamps - best part? The patio is dog friendly making this the perfect place for any dog PAWrents ;) Service is extremely friendly and so helpful if you have questions! The food here is award winning so you can't go wrong but I highly recommend the pub burger ! They only use wagyu beef and WOW. One of the best burgers I've had ever !!! I paired it with the truffle fries which were perfectly cooked by the way ! The Mess came in at a very close second and the brisket taco was phenomenal!! They also taking reservations for large parties and catering. There are multiple family games setup around the brewery for you and the family like uno, connect four and scrabble. This is a family owned business so come support them , you won't regret eating here !

Juicy burgers! Great fries! Great drinks, you'll find Stan Lee and very family friendly

Always great service and great atmosphere. Our dogs always love coming here. Staff is always friendly and attentive.

How do you make a great place even better? Add a points reward when you come in for delicious food and excellent beer. Thompson's is our spot for family fun. Our kids are 22 and 25 and will jump at the opportunity to hang out with us when we come here. The food comes out, piping hot within minutes of ordering. As soon as you get your catsup, napkins, and silverware, your food is guaranteed to be waiting for you. Thank you to the staff for making this "Thee spot" to keep family time a priority...!

Thompson Brewing is always a good spot to get a drink and good food. Place is always clean and the staff is super friendly. Never have a bad experience when I visit

Fun draft list with 4 and 6 drink tasting flights. Mountain Dew Baja Blast slushees. Big outdoor area with games in the back. Overall the food was OK. Great place to hang out with friends.

I'm not a beer drinker, but I highly recommend this place! The food is incredible, and all three burgers are fantastic. The appetizers are also delicious. Almost everything on the menu is great. The only thing I don't like is the mac & cheese - it's just okay for me, but that's just my personal preference. And I wish they had raw or grilled onions instead of pickled onions - I'm not a fan of pickled onions. But those two minor flaws are just my taste buds. The staff is always friendly and super nice. The lady with glasses who works the register is especially friendly and super friendly. The ambiance is really cool. You can definitely have a large group if needed. This place is amazing. I can't recommend it enough!

We have been coming here since their opening. The customer service is always superb! The menu has evolved a bit since their opening and let me tell you it has some of the best offerings around. We have come to the conclusion that if you like French fries this is the #1 best place for them. I will often order something different each visit and have nearly completed their menu and everything has been a hit. And I am not even a drinker but I am told from friends and family that you can't go wrong with their brews either. It's mostly communal seating which is fine we all should get together and enjoy each other's company!

I love coming here So family friendly and the assortment of beers and food are delicious My favorite is the sours on tap but I'm loving the honey blonde

This place was amazing! The quality of the food is delicious! I went Friday night to try it out and came back Saturday night with the whole family! This place is family friendly and pet friendly. They even have board games and card games. We love the outside sitting. Customer service was phenomenal! Everyone was friendly and helpful. We will be coming here often.

This place is definitely hidden a bit but I stumbled on this place randomly because they are next door to a pottery studio. Was I glad I found this place, the food is no joke. You can smell the rendered beef fat upon arrival and that already is a sign it's going to be good. We ordered one drink which I am told was very good as far as alcohol. The burger was a smash style burger so it's thinner and has more crispy edges. I personally love that style of burger and it's so good. It's very juicy still even though it's thin. The fries are good but the burger is the star. Would definitely come back to try their BBQ. I didn't love that the only soda options are the like cane sugar which is good but I do love a good coke a cola with my burger but other than that this place is tasty. It's not cheap and this burger will run you a little more than an average joint but it's definitely worth the splurge. They have lots of long tables and it looks like they do reservations. I also will say it's not vegetarian friendly if you plan on bringing someone who is. They cook I believe all the fried items even fries in beef tallow. Great spot and parking on site but it's not a large lot so beware for a busy night. I would definitely come back again and bring my friends or a small group since they have games and the seating for groups .

Such. Good. Food! You have to get the fried pickles! The pulled pork sandwich was yum. Hubby liked the beer. Fanatic tshirt logo- too bad the biggest sizes is 2XL.

The food here is so good! You have to get their chicken and waffles. It has a great variety of food and you will always find something you like! The beer is good and there is a good selection

They definitely added a lot of food to the menu since the last time we were here a few years ago. The buffalo chicken sandwich was good except that the coleslaw just slid out of the sandwich with every bite. By the end it was just bread. The pretzel was unsalted so that was disappointing. All of the staff had good attitudes even though they were slammed. The food took almost half an hour to come out but perhaps they were shorthanded. The inside definitely has it's charm and it's clean. The outside patio is small but can still seat plenty of people and they have games available to play while you hang out. It was a bit pricey, but I suppose everything is these days. They had a great selection of beer and the boozy slushy was super tasty.

An amazing variety of beers and seltzers this brewery is very popular. My friends have met up here numerous times the barbecue is outstanding. You wouldn't go wrong by checking it out.

Great staff, extremely tried and very welcoming. They truly made our first visit a great experience! Food was really good and came out perfect and quickly. Drinks really knocked it out of the park. I had a lemon seltzer and it was better than what I can buy from a store. The ONLY thing I would say (and this is just because of my diet) I wish they'd offer fried foods in normal oil, and not beef. As a vegetarian, this knocked a lot off from me trying. Otherwise I can't wait to go back! 1000000/10 from us!

Awesome place, good food, good atmosphere, good drink and good friendly people/service never had a problem coming here and we've been coming here for years. They have a nice little patio where you can sit outside with heaters and music.

I probably come here 2 to 3 times a month and have been for years. Always delicious, great selection of drinks, staff are freaking great! If you're debating, get your a** here already!

Thompson Brewing is one of my favorite local spots! I love the food menu...everything I've tried has been delicious, and I appreciate that they're always adding new items to keep things exciting. The beer selection is solid with a great variety, and the overall vibes are just right. The ambience is relaxed, with a fun, industrial-chic feel, and the staff always add to the great experience with their friendly energy. It's also a huge plus that the patio is dog-friendly! Definitely a go-to for good food, good drinks, and good people.
