Editorial Review for Karl Strauss Brewery – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
The brewery is laid-back compared to bustling CityWalk. The beer-garden terrace sits figuratively--and literally--higher than the fun-from-all-angles maelstrom it overlooks. The menu includes a grilled sausage sampler that jumps from Spain to Bavaria; marinated steak is coated with lager glaze and served atop garlic mashed potatoes. The Red Trolley Ale and Amber Lager are on the list of more than 30 house beers.

I have to say I have never walked out on a bill, but when I was left there for 45 minutes with no help, and all my food was served cold, and all the beer was skunked, and they avoided me, I had to do something. This place was just awful. The Men's room I hear is trashed too. They spilled water all over my table and never brought towels to clean it up, THEY have the stickiest tables I have ever been misfortunate enough to eat off of. I heard then cursing and using 4 letter words from BEHIND THE BAR and I saw them wrestling around instead of working. They cursed about my nose (yes I know it is big, thank you I was born with it and it helps me breathe) and rolled their eyes at me. I would never walk out on a bill but this time they got off easy.
Pros: They may close
Cons: it's all a con

I'm reviewing to counter the negative reviews I've read here -- when we went, our server was extremely accommidating. The beer and food were fine, but I was most impressed with the attentive service. Our server checked frequently that we were happy with our drinks and food, and prompt in bringing the bill when we were ready to go. Perhaps those who wrote it took too long were just bored with their company? I'd never wait 15 minutes for drinks, though... I'd say something after five or leave and go elsewhere.
