I admit that I don't drink beer. And yes, this is a brewery. I've heard they have good beer, but what I'm reviewing now is their food.
And their 'appetizer' food is pretty darn amazing. (Although expensive as chain food goes)
I can heartily recommend their pub tips (beef in a nice thick brown sauce with mash potatoes).
And if you stay even just a short while (to enjoy a cold one or something) you have to at least try their Asiago cheese dip. I've had this several times with my wife, and it's amazing. It's served warm, with bits of small sliced bread to dip in the sauce. It compliments a quiet conversation quite nicely.
They have bar seating with TVs, or quieter 'booth' seating that is more appropriate for families or quiet dates with your significant other.
If you like people watching (and it's cool out) they have outdoor seating that faces the interior of Desert Ridge, and also has nice views of a fountain.
They may have a line in the evenings, but it's generally worth the wait.
