Cool little place. Great french fries, hand cut in house with a special crunchy finish. Really super good! Rueben sandwich and bacon cheeseburger deluxe.

While visiting local friends in Chelan we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Lake Chelan Brewery. Everyone's meals were outstanding. The Salmon Burger was fresh, prepared perfectly. The Reuben is a staple favorite with fresh ingredients. The burger was hearty, well made with quality beef. The house made chips are addicting. Great ambiance. For those with mobility challenges, entering the restaurant was easy with a well constructed entry ramp and handrail.Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos.

Stopped in for a snack and decided on their nachos. We almost changed our minds because they are made with homemade potato chips rather than corn chips. However, we decided to be adventurous when the server said how addicting they were. She was correct... they were delicious. It was a good-sized plate (we ate almost half before I remembered to take a pic), but if there had been more, we would have kept eating... and eating. They were addicting.After finishing the nachos, we decided to stick with the healthy food and shared a slice of the Chocolate Chip Milk Cake... with ice cream added. It was YUMMMMY.We will be back again.

Great spot right on the Manson strip. Food was good, beer was good, and so was the service. Good place to watch a game and have a drink. Indoor and outback patio seating. They also offer flights if you want to try multiple beers.

Came in and was able to get a table for 4 right away. Got our drink and food order taken fairly quickly. Food came out super fast, and it was all good. Beers were ok, not a huge selection. They did have a huckleberry hard seltzer on tap. Cool place to check out.

Food was a 4, but the service brought my rating down. I had high expectations as the menu looked good and there were a lot of people inside. I was seated fairly quickly and brought water, however waited approximately an hour to have my order taken. A group of 6 came in after me and somehow had orders taken and food on the table before my order was taken. I ordered the Manson Burger, which was a 1/3 pound burger with BBQ sauce, pepper jack cheese, jalapeños and an onion ring. I also had onion rings as the side. It was really good! The coconut shrimp appetizer was excellent! I was impressed with the size of the shrimp.The staff was friendly, and there was a hiring sign out front. Hopefully it was just the staffing shortage causing the issues.

Ordered the brew-chip nachos and side of fries to share amongst four people and it was plenty! The fries are truly unique! The Glacier Infused IPA is good, but on the bitter side. My wife liked the beer and we ordered four cans to-go, which were canned on the spot!

Kid friendly and great food! We moored up at the public dock and walked and it hit the spot after a long morning on the water!The hand battered pepperjack chicken sandwich was probably the best I have had in years! They should cut it into strips, batter it and serve it over a fresh salad.

Family friendly, nice beer selection, coupled with a modest but entirely fine food menu. There are even kids food options available. The back patio is pretty well sheltered while still getting lots of light. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend the tasting flights!

A large group of friends and I are from Spokane and went on an extended weekend getaway to Manson/Chelan. We wanted something to drink and a few appetizers. Decided to try Lake Chelan Brewery. The in-house brewed beers were exceptional to say the least, we had flights and tried every one. As far as the food goes, we tried the Zucchini Fries, Pulled Pork Poutine, and Beer-30 Nachos w/chicken. All of them were 10/10 but I ESPECIALLY recommend the Fried Zucchini. Hands down, the best I've had in my life. Please give this place a shot. The customer service was great and it was busy, too! Also, the food and drinks came out quicker than expected. Great experience.

We have visited this place a couple times and have yet to be disappointed. The beers are good, the service is good, the food is good! The menu is a bit small, but we have always found something to try. The restaurant as well is a little small and often it is difficult to get a seat, but the newly expanded area and patio is an improvement over previous times we have visited. The brick wall is a fun touch.... for a donation you can color one and leave your mark.... it is fun to look at all the designs left by previous visitors, as well it is fun to re-visit your own brick on repeat visits! Another fun touch is that they have a good vinyl collection.... yes vinyl.... and they let the guests pick the music - so fun! Worth visiting again and again!Nov 2017 UpdateI have visited many times before and written a review. This trip to the area we visited twice. The service and the food are really good and that always keeps us coming back. We always sit right at the car and talk to the server and / or the locals and the experience is always good. You can select old vinyl records to play during your visit and we like this touch. This trip I really liked a cider they had on tap from Steelhead cider called Peargatory, so I can’t say too much about their beers. For food I had the special which was a green Chile pork burrito with a jalapeno Caesar dressing and the dressing made the burrito… likely too spicy for some folks but I found it one of my best meals of the trip! The Mr. had the Brisket sliders and fries and he loved them too. We also visited the brick that we decorated on the wall back in 2013 when we visited for the first time…. The brick wall is a fun touch and cool to visit on future trips…. And the proceeds go to the food bank – great idea. Overall this is a great place and we will keep coming back year after year!

They are short staffed, but the servers always have their hustle on. The owner was working every time I was there. Bring some patience with you and you will have a great experience. The food is excellent.Try the Blackened Salmon Burger! Delicious. Not a salmon patty - it's a thick slab of salmon, and it's excellent!!They have beer and wine, and limited liquor.It's easy to miss when walking by, as it's a small venue, but it's worth looking for!

We came to Chelan over the 4th of July weekend. My wife and I were on a 3 day mountain biking trip for the holiday. The weather was so hot!!! So naturally after biking we looked for the closest brewery to get a fresh cold beer. Lake Chelan brewing was the first place to pop up and of course we wanted to try the officialBrewery of Chelan.There was no wait time and we were seated right away. The waitress was very nice and had a good personality. She brought us 2 waters and gave us plenty of time to review the menu without rushing us. I ordered a Glacier IPA and my wife ordered a Red Ale.The beers were delicious both in their own way. After a few sips we looked around and noticed the food was smelling good and looked amazing. We decided to order the ground beef nachos because it mentioned they have beer battered chips. The nachos came out looking fresh and we couldn’t wait to dive into them. The chips were great, the ground beef was yummy. It also includes some other toppings like avocado, jalapeños, sour cream. The one thing I would recommend to the brewery is to add some more cheese on top of everything. Most the ingredients fell off the nachos but that is just a minor thing.Overall the brewery was a great experience and I would recommend it!Covid laws here in Washington has recently opened up again so expect the environment operating as normal. -Colter

I think they've got potential but we spent two hours there and left hungry. We waited 1hr 17 mins to get our food, and most other tables that came in after us got their food well-before ours. Then, our apps came out with our food (1:17 later), and the food was either cold or very overdone (our group sent 2 of 5 plates back). The server was sweet and she apologized for the delay, but she was obviously not supported with the appropriate amount of staff to be successful. This was a disappointing experience for sure.

Food wasn't good and judging from other people leaving plates unfinished I wasn't the only one. But my wife enjoyed her beer and she had the pilsner.

Great vegan food especially the burger, want to try the zucchini fries next. Vegan onion rings was a pleasant surprise tho a lil oily for me. Great beer of course too!

We waiting about 40minutes outside for a table to open up, after which 2 of the 4 of us made it into the opening of the door. We stood there for about 30 more minutes without being acknowledged at all. I understand busy, and I understand light staffing, but communication with your customers goes a long way. The food looked appealing from what we saw on other’s tables, however I was very disappointed with what I received. Very very greasy, uneven cooked fries, for our table we ordered 2 of the zucchini fries to which they were completely different looking and tasting. One was old grease smoke and the other was better but cold. The beer was fine. I felt like it was not worth the wait at all.

Came in for the 4th of July weekend with friends and family. Onion rings were great, beer pretty good. My chicken sandwich wasn't that great, they forgot to add the spicy sauce that I asked for twice. Fries did nottaste good at all, and seemed undercooked and potato still hard. Second time coming and still feel the same about the place. Did allow a dog on the back patio though.

It was OK. The wait staff were great, really on point and taking care of business, make sure to tip them well, they work too hard for not enough. The beer was OK, nothing really special, pretty standard West Coast IPA. I ordered some fries also, they were pretty good, maybe slightly undercooked.All in all a 4 star experience. Thank you to the wait staff though, it does really make a difference.

It has been a while since we went here. Decided to have dinner. Ordered the Ruben sandwich which was OK. Not great just OK.We also ordered the Fire Pasta. Pasta was cooked correctly and the sause was very tasty. The problem was the chicken. It was soooo overcooked that it was difficult to eat. Impossible to cut the thin strips with a fork. Had to use a knife. So dry that it took a swallow of beer to get it down. Disappointed.

First off I want to say that although we came at a very busy time, our wait wasn't horrendous and it was obvious that the staff was working hard. My husband said his beers were fine. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the food. It was the first time that I have ever experienced inedible onion rings. I don't want to comment too much, but my recommendation would be to stick to the beer.

Went in to buy some beers Togo and they had a crowler setup which would of been great but only one of them was sealed correctly so the rest were flat and most leaked. I emailed them but didn't hear anything back.

We ordered take out for 13 and the food was on point! The pulled pork poutine was a meal on its own, & the best poutine I've ever had! The normal fries were deliciously different, like a combo of all your favorite fries mixed into one perfect fry. As a first timer to Chelan, this will definitely be our go to food spot next time we visit.

I feel like this place is slightly under rated at 4 stars currently. The food and beer are quite good!

Updated Review. Went here today with my FIL for a couple beers, chips. There was one gal literally running to the tables, back to the bar, carrying food all by herself. It's Friday afternoon. We waited oh almost 10 minutes before she got back to us. She was doing her best. I have to say whenever i go here i only see one person out on the floor. That's just me. The beers tasted better today than in years past they're getting better.

Pretty much the only brewery in the area. Good beer, strong. Liked the Cerveca del Lago Lager. Baby friendly, at least during happy hour.
