"Cool tour, good beer, great sodas. Indoor Bier Garten is family-friendly...kids drink sodas for free while adults drink beer. Snacks available. Enjoyed this place more than Miller Valley."

"Great stop for sandwiches, snacks, pastries, smoothies, and, of course, cheese. I wish more of the counters were open early in the morning. There is seating upstairs."

"Not itself a destination, but you get free beer here after the brewery tour."

"Cool if you wanna see the original site of the brewery, appreciate its current scale, and learn some history of the brand. The tour guides are slightly unenthusiastic."

"For group seating, try calling the box office. The box office can find you blocks of seats in consecutive rows. Also sometimes you can get seats in two different sections that are actually adjacent."

"Traditional Chicago deep-dish. Family-friendly and casual. Very friendly service. Come early to avoid the rush -- it gets packed. Be aware that a deep-dish takes about 45 minutes to prepare."
