Restaurant is beautiful.Had salmon plate with rice pilaf. Asparagus was kinda thin could have been better. Fish was moist. Hoping service is better next time as there were only a few tables being served. I was thinking even if I decided to order dessert I may not have because it may take too long. Maybe next time.

Stopped by on a mellow afternoon and had a pint plus a flight. The pours were solid. They were 3 to 4 oz each depending on the beer. Bartender was cool, welcoming, and kept the energy relaxed without being too hands-on. The space itself stands out more than anything. The layout is dope, and the interior has that cozy-meets-industrial feel with high ceilings, brick walls, and big wooden tables. As for the beer, you can tell they take pride in their brewing, even if nothing really pushed the envelope. That said, their Raspberry Hefe and Lodi Lite were both solid — easy to drink and well-balanced. Overall, I’d come back. It’s not a destination spot if you’re chasing rare beers or crazy food, but if you’re in Lodi and want a chill brewery with good energy, this one does the job. With a few additions and updates to the beer menu or beers to go , it could easily be a 5-star spot.

My wife and I ate at the Lodi Beer Company yesterday (August 08, 2025) and left thoroughly satisfied. The food and beer was delicious, but what stood out was our server Jenna; Jenna was probably one of the best servers that we have experienced in a long time. She was so friendly and courteous! she was attentive to our needs and very quick to make sure that we were served everything promptly and with precision. Her suggestion to have us try the homemade barbecue sauce was appreciated as it is the best barbecue sauce on the planet. Thanks to the Lodi Beer Company, and especially to Jenna for making our dining experience very pleasurable. We will definitely come back whenever we travel through Lodi.

We had our company Christmas event with you on December 13th. It was amazing. The staff and management went above and beyond in making this night extra special. The wait staff incredible. Food was plentiful and 5 star. Every attendee was impressed, thank you for making this night so memorable. We look forward to doing this again next year!

Let me. Tell you me and my wife have went here for years. They have changed a few things. But everything is still delicious like always. Our waitress was very knowledgeable. I do forget her name, but she was honest. That she had not tried the fish tacos. So I stuck with something I knew. We did try the new sourdough appetizer, which was delightful. We also got the New York strip steak. And the blue cheeseburger, which was so good. It was wonderful. Also, if you're down to try their root beer, it's delicious. We are looking forward to going again soon.

So many people wait to be seat and it’s not because of just the inviting atmosphere but because of the delicious food and desserts are prepared so well, taste so good and waitress are very attentive. Ashley was our waitress and she was very kind and social, just as the manager David was; creating a great experience for my family and I. We were able to taste the bread pudding dessert which no lie was actually the best! It’s a must have dessert after the great meal. The beer on the other hand, brewed and stores in house, looks tasty and has a wide variety to choose from. It’s a no brainer to take the family here, enjoy!

Pretty cool atmosphere & bathrooms are pretty nice too. Definitely go in the off peak hours. It’ll get busy at times and service can take a while. The food is 4/5. The bruschetta is really good. My burger was a little overcooked, the fried mac & cheese 4/5. The French dip is also one of my favorites or the club sandwich. I don’t recommend the pork tacos…. zero flavor

Had the fish tacos with the gold coast IPA. The fish tacos are fried with a mango salsa. They are good and the red salsa with guacamole is a nice touch.
