Midland Brewing Company

The smoked wings with their house rub are some of the better wings I've had. Whenever I am visiting family in Midland I like to stop here for wings, the brussel sprouts, and the beer.

We've never had an issue with the service. The only thing holding them back from 5 stars is the price. $10 for 6 wings is very steep.

Beer is great and so is the food. They continue to get more and more upscale however so we don't go as often as we used to. The prices are getting pretty high.

Very good wings. Pitcher of beer wasn't bad either Wings have a nice Smokey flavor and great crunch.

I've been here twice before. Both times it was way too dark and I was never greeted. I would sit at the bar and the individual would walk by me several times and make zero acknowledgement. Food took forever to come and was mediocre at best. Also overpriced af. The final straw was asking on social media if they wouldn't considering trying NA options of beer. I was met with an incredibly condescending remark from whom I am now guessing is involved with the company. Instead of calling them out and engaging, I just responded with a laugh react. Nothing more. They then proceeded to block me entirely from their page.

So poor service, meh overpriced food, and embarrassing customer service.

Avoid.

Service??? You'd have to be seated to rate the service. Such a example of poor management leading to poor customer service. Showed up with a party to celebrate elder parent's birthday. Staff was obtuse to the concept of service or even caring about the concept of a family wanting to share dining experience together.
Unfortunately the entire family voted on going elsewhere instead of being served by staff that seemed aloof to the term of hospitality or the tip that would come with a party willing to celebrate at their restaurant. The restaurant was only 50% occupied and hopefully stays that way!! DHeckaman@mohg.com DHeckaman@mohg.com

For atmosphere, this place easily gets 6 stars for promptness and quality, it's more like 1-2 stars so I'm splitting the difference and giving this place a 3. First, we moved out of Midland 7 years ago and we're back for a visit. Wow, this place has changed! We arrived at 5pm on a Thursday evening and was told it was a 15-20 min wait for a table. Fine, no problem. Our toddlers were having a blast running around in the grass with their balls. Also, they had a live band which helped make the wait more enjoyable. Although the restaurant can't really control this, patrons lingered for forever even after finishing drinking and eating. That 15-20 minutes turned out being 57 minutes.

We sat and ordered our food and drinks all at once. It took 25 minutes for us to get our drinks (a rose, a Diet Coke, and 2 kids sprites). We had already been waiting almost an hour for a seat and then 25 minutes for drinks, it was a bit long. We actually had to flag someone down to ask where our drinks were. We ordered the corn dip which was flavorless and the chips were over salty. But it at least came out quickly. Then we ordered 2 burgers and a hotdog. The waitress was nice enough to bring out an extra tray, without asking, so we could split the hotdog for our kids we were asked how we wanted our burgers cooked (medium) but both were well done. Thankfully, there was enough topping on them that it masked some of the dryness.

Overall, they have something super special with the atmosphere here but the food left so much to be desired. Once the weather cools and the outside is no longer available, there's nothing to really bring you to this place.

Service was great. I've been here several times and usually get the chicken quesadilla. But today the delicious quesdilla I was looking forward to was mostly corn. Yep. Right out of the can. Whole kernel corn
$15.00 for a corn quesadilla. My last trip there.

Cool beer spot with lame food.
MBC has a good beer selection, and the space is open, modern-ish and appealing. The service was friendly, yet slow and was very difficult to get anyone's attention so the experience took about twice as long as it should have. We sat there with empty glasses and needing cutlery, etc while the servers passed by ignoring us or BS-ing with other staffers.

The menu doesn't offer much that is different from anywhere else, but I had higher expectations given the apparent quality of the place and what appeared on the menu. The food was poorly executed: a burger that was so raw and bloody and egregiously overseasoned tots that had to be sent back. Grey brussels sprouts the consistency of oatmeal and so-so ribs.

Recommend for the beer but this was an otherwise mediocre experience I am unlikely to revisit.

Do this don't do that can't you read the sign, or lack there of.
Lots of unwritten rules must mean business is good enough that can flirt with driving customers away.
Patio is nice only if you have 6 or less people.
Don't order a 4 pack of beer unless you are leaving with it.

Nice atmosphere, good beer. The food is good for the price as well. We were walking our dog on the rail trail this summer and they allowed us to dine on the patio with her.
