Bird Creek Brewing - Temple

This restaurant is a homely hybrid indoor outdoor self service tavern with a craft bar. The experience is very casual with 3 kiosks in front where you place your order. The food is rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked! I recommend the cheese curds 5/5. Think crispy and buttery cheese bites, delicious! I recommend the western burger and southwestern burgers! The fries are served with cracked salt and pepper. The truffle fries are full of cheesy, earthy flavor goodness. I do NOT recommend the brussel sprouts 1/5 they were undercooked with too much balsamic vinagrette. There are board games in the front to play. The bartender is super friendly and knowledgeable! A menu of custom drafts are organized by alcohol and bitterness (ibu) content. Don't be shy to ask for a small sample! The biggest downsides are self service and separate tabs. The bartender and food ordering results in two different checks. The food bill also asks you to tip before the food. Food is also a little pricey at about 15 dollars a plate but portions are generous! Other than that, a great place to put down some roots, rest your feet, drink, and chill! Food 5/5 (except the brussel sprouts) Atmosphere 5/5 board games and hybrid indoor outdoor Value 3/5 Service 3/5 Vegetarian options: They are able to customize your order to your liking and preference. Dietary restrictions: They are able to customize your order to your liking and preference. Kid friendliness: Friendly for kids with board games! Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible but the road outside is gravel filled

Buffalo wild wings has better burgers. Beer is just ok and costs too much for the amount given. No waiters, you order through a kiosk and get your own drinks. Bar is separate from food ordering. No frozen drinks machines, like margaritas or daiquiris. Hip concept for hipsters looking to be seen, falls short of all hype Temple seems to give downtown space occupiers.

Good food and a cool building, but not the kind of place to go if you're looking for genuine sit-down service. The staff are kind and friendly, but you place your order through a computer, you get your own drink and refill it yourself. Not that this is a bad thing! Just not everybody's thing all the time.

I have been here 15+ times in the last few months and I will continue to come back, food is always perfect, beer and mixed beer drinks are amazing and the staff is always warm and welcoming. I highly recommend checking this place out and you will quickly become a regular!!

Nice atmosphere, large portions, tasty, fairly reasonable prices, except for the beer prices. Worth trying and better than most
