"This is a stop for us every time we come up to this part of the coast. In years past they always made a pretty good burger but their salads left something to be desired. But now they 've raised the bar on their salads... so that 'upgrade ' with their already great beers makes this my favorite brewery in the Humboldt Bay Area. Whenever I stop here I drink their UnionTown Porter (and I buy some to take home . What 's great about Mad River is they always have a pretty good selection of porters and stouts to choose from. I am not a huge fan of IPA 's and most breweries today to my profound disappointment lard up their selections with this style of beer. (And yes I meant to use the word 'lard ' in lieu of 'load ' On this particular visit they had a Coffee Porter that was great. I drank one there and have a Crowler in the RV fridge for taking home. Also ordered a barbecue salad: This was excellent and you pick any meat from the smoker for the topper. I ended up with a huge portion of tri-tip. It was tender and served over fresh greens, pickled onions, fresh cucumbers and I 'm not sure what else because I was also drinking beer. Mad River did all the stuff a brewery should do: they served me great food and beer in a friendly setting with both some indoor and extensive outdoor seating. Beer, food, kids, dogs... these are good things. I 'm happy!"

"The vegetables also had a mixed performance—while the first serving was overcooked, the second was an improvement. I have a few suggestions for the staff: first, it’s important to know what pairs well with each dish; for example, au jus is not typically served with ribeye, and tartar or cocktail sauce should accompany the prawns. Also, please avoid shouting across the restaurant and turn off the loud personal music from the adjacent area, as it adds to the noise level. Additionally, try to be mindful of dragging tables and chairs while patrons are still dining. It would be great if someone could check in with guests when their server is on break. Lastly, I recommend addressing customers who are vaping while waiting for to-go orders. Overall, dining here has been a hit-or-miss experience, and unfortunately, this time it was a miss."

"I was yelled at and called a liar due to some tag anomaly on a keg. I got turned away trying to return the first time, and emailed about it. Was told to bring it in for deposit by tap room manager Wes. Below is a copy of the email. Ghey also fail to say return within six months, it is not on paperwork. Anyways he claimed I got the keg from Santa Rosa when I just bought the kegerator to cut down on recycling during covid, and it is the only keg I put in it. On top of it he said my keg rental privileges are revoked. Guess I won't go here anymore after over a decade of supporting them. I have been able to locate your original sales info from 6/22/2020. I cant speak to why there was any confusion at all in the process but I can tell you that I'm here to fix it. So long as there hasnt been any tampering with the keg in question, and its still in good condition, we would be more than happy to fix the mistakes and get you your deposit back. Now if you want said deposit in cases of beer, thats your call. Just come by during operating hours and ask for me."

"A hidden gem and so worth the trip to this sushi restaurant. My husband and I arrived when they opened (1700) as the place is small and can fill up quickly. We decided to try the Omokase Experience where the sushi chef prepares what he wants to serve that evening. OMG! We were treated to four servings: 2 sashimi and two roll type offerings each brought out individually one after the other. It was nothing we would have ordered and we so enjoyed the different tastes and combinations our chef put together. Thank you for allowing us to experience your skills as a sushi chef. I didn't even use the wasabi soy sauce combo I usually enjoy at a sushi place. We were pleasantly full after the four offerings we stopped ordering though we wanted to continue. The four dishes, a small bottle of sake and a beer and it was the cheapest sushi bill I ever had. Parking: Good parking at the casino."
