We went to Heist for the first time for a late lunch with friends on Saturday. Heist is both brewery and restaurant with a huge dining area. The restaurant has a very cool and trendy vibe. Our server must have told us a three times that Heist was "a brewery first, a restaurant second," but the beer didn't really hold up to that. The food was better.
To make it easy, we shared a flight of beer. We didn't love the beers we selected and wish there had been a bit more guidance from our server when we asked.
For lunch, I had the sriracha fried chicken salad and it was huge and very good. The salad came with a tasty flatbread/ pizza slice too. My boyfriend opted for the decadent cheesy mac flatbread. His flatbread was a thin crust pizza with macaroni noodles and what was basically nacho cheese on top. I couldn't eat a full order's worth, but he didn't seem to have any trouble demolishing it. Our dining companions ordered the wings, which are huge, and a salad/ flatbread combo. They were both pleased.
We'll def be back for brunch and to give the brews another shot.
