Great atmosphere, loads of different beers, all brewed locally. Food tasty and excellent value, all served with a smile by attentive waiters. Every time we went (which was often) it was always packed. No surprise! more

The food is always good and the beer is excellent. Typical brew pub food, highly flavored. Try the vegetarian black bean quesadillas or the fish and chips. The daily specials are always good. I had a mushroom gnocchi (special) that I still dream about. The seasoned onion rings are to die for. The place is always lively, with drinkers filling... more

I've eaten here many times; the annual Brew to Brew Relay race begins in Kansas City and ends here. We get a special meal at the end of the race, and the beer was so good that I drove out to Lawrence to try the restaurant on a normal day. The food, atmosphere, and service were all top notch. This... more

They have their own beer which is well regarded, and the menu is varied and generally well executed. I would say it is just overall good. more

A fun place to go hang out and have a beer with friends, but if you are a foodie and in desire of really fabulous cuisine, this isn't the place. They have your typical fare - soups, salads, sandwiches, pastas, nothing spectacular. I live in Lawrence and only go here when my friends drag me. more

Went here for lunch. They had a number of seasonal beers on tap, all of which were good. The cheese soup was excellent. I liked the fact that the menu used a lot of local ingredients, and that there were seasonal and vegetarian items available. Really great restaurant, will be going back. more

I lived in Lawrence for 5 years when I went to school. This is by far the best place around. I am a huge "beer guy" and Free State makes some of the best anywhere. I live in Chicago now, and everytime I visit Lawrence this is my first and last stop. I go for dinner and a few beers... more
