Aggieville Brewing Company

Just visited Aggieville Brewing for the first time tonight and was super impressed! The beers were delicious and food was outstanding! Our server was super friendly and provided great service which was another huge plus. After dinner and a couple flights of beers we went outside and discovered they also have a cool outdoor bar and seating area with cornhole games and met the owner Ryan who was super nice and gave us a brief tour of the brewing area. Will definitely come back again the next time visiting Manhattan! Great experience!

The food was good, I had the brisket basket. Advertised as juicy on the menu. I think it had been in the hot hold way too long. Taste was good, but you wanted a little bit of fat in the bite otherwise it was too dry. It had a fair smoke ring but wasn't a lot of smoked taste or any bark on the meat. Ok, but $20 for four slices of brisket it could and should have been better.

The jalapeno corn bread was tasty, served with no butter once again dry. Could have been a bit of honey or butter or jam to assist the tiny muffin. In an upscale joint like this I expect to at least see something the size of a regular muffin.

Potato salad, I don't mind a bit of mustard in the potato salad but this was a bit too much and they could have cut the dill in half, but again you know there is a lot of difference in family recipes. I can say that this won't be a side that I order again. The potato slices with cheese and bacon on them were very good. Good texture and a great taste.

Overall it was a pretty good meal, but it could have been so much better. I'm pretty touchy about brisket being overly dry. When I eat brisket and I have to take a drink after each mouthful in order to assist in swallowing, it's just been held too long or cooked too long.

Now for the bad part. I was warned the day before to take ear plugs with me. I didn't understand the recommendation. On arriving it was clear that even coming through the vestibule it was going to be loud. We had planned to eat outside but the threat of rain forced us inside into the small side room. Do not under any circumstances allow them to seat you in this side room. It is an echo chamber. The noise level was unbelievable for the amount of people in the room. I would recommend they immediately hang tapestries or wallpaper over these walls and/or some other sound attenuating means. The food was good enough for me to come back and try other things on the menu. But I will not sit in this room My family who came from quite a distance to visit was almost impossible to understand across the table. We couldn't understand the waitress and I think it was mutual because she couldn't understand us. There was a lot of repeat sentences to get the point across.

So overall positive I'd go back and try other things. I'm not a beer drinker anymore so the draw for brew is not anything that makes a difference with me. The others is in my party seem to enjoy their beverages though.

The staff was running with about half the house full and I would have to say we did not have the attention we deserved and needed. We had a late arriving couple to our party and we had a hard time flagging down any help so they could order.

Wonderful new micro brewery and restaurant in the Manhattan area. The beer and cocktails are amazing as well as the barbecue. If you haven't been I highly recommend. This definitely is a top ten stop in Manhattan Kansas.

Came in on a recommendation of a family friend and was not disappointed.

Staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Multiple people stopped by the table to make sure we did not need anything. Our server (May A.) was very friendly and amazing which made the visit fun and enjoyable.

Food was amazing, Brewers Burger was delicious, however I did dock a point only because the bun was toasted way too much in my opinion, but did not ruin the flavor. Personally was not a fan of the seasoned potatoes, but not saying they were bad, just not my forte.

The flatfredo I would say was terrific and could be a meal of its own if made larger (hint hint 😉) but will 100% recommend it to everyone.
