Karl Strauss Brewing Company Costa Mesa

Always super yummy food and a trendy vibe. A little pricey but they have great prices on beer during Happy Hour. If you're looking to splurge, try the Mac-n-Cheese.. the Piggy Bank is my favorite. They also have healthy salad options too.

Going here for dinner, I was fortunate enough to get an outdoor dining seat. The location is in a mall area, although the entrance is off to the side. There is very limited parking immediately adjacent to the restaurant; you will likely have to park in the mall area, and walk a quick 5-10 minutes to get here.

I ended up with a beer sausage plate. This was a good dining option, and a bit larger portion size than I was expecting (a good thing). The sweet potato fries and sauce had a little bit of a pleasant "kick" to them. The beer here was good; nothing that stood out as extraordinary, but solid and tasty.

Great service, great food, and great beers--they really seemed to have a Unique Cali taste to them, and they have some brews that you just can't get get anywhere else.

Had the Little a this little a that flight. Was a diverse flight of beers ranging from light to dark. Definitely something to try if you don't really know what you want and just want to try everything.

Ate the duck fat pretzel bites, were fatty heaven! Dipping into the duck fat sauce made my mouth water each time.

Ate piggy bank Mac and cheese, a meat filled cheese that wasn't too heavy. The waitress brought samples of beers to pair with the food and was delicious each time!

It's safe to say the food here is just as good as the beer, and a perfect spot to have great tasting food and drinks. Even if you don't know anything about beer they will be sure you have a great meal.
