Maumee Bay Brewing

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.

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.

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..

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!

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.

Great food good/decent prices
...one thing Maumee Bay Brewery needs to up their host/maitre d game. We waited about 5 min before seeing anyone in a non crowded area and saw other groups experience the same.

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!

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.

We decided to go downtown and try Maumee Bay Brewing. We arrived at 2:40 on a Saturday afternoon and were told we would have a 30-40 minute wait by a completely disinterested host. We decided to have a drink at the downstairs bar. Scotty was a great bartender but was completely overwhelmed by the 20 people in the bar he was trying to handle by himself. After a 60 minute wait we received a table in the bar downstairs......our server Grace was fantastic. The food was totally mediocre. As an appetizer we ordered Elote dip. We order Elote dip at a lot of places. This is the first time I've ever had it cold. It was more like a cheese spread. OK, just wasn't what we expected. Reuben was decent. Mac/Cheese, not so much.

In summery, we both agreed we won't be going back.
