The downtown brew dinner specials aren’t bad, but also aren’t anything special. Thursday night is the tritip sandwich and a pint for about $8. It comes with fries which is nice, but the tritip was so fatty everywhere it was almost impossible to actually eat. I’ve never been a big fan of their beer, but the the amber ale is pretty good. It’s also a little frustrating that their prices tend to go up but they don’t always change it on the website. Service at the restaurant varies and it can be hard to get a refill on your beer.

Tri-tip sandwich and a pint

There are four very important things to note about this restaurant. 1) They have great food 2) It’s amazingly low price 3) You get a ton of it 4) They brew really good beer.

Every time I go to lunch or dinner at Creekside I’m impressed and satisfied. The view overlooking the creek combined with great food and drink is perfect.

My favorite lunch item is the beef brisket sandwich (Live Oak). You also get to choose two sides in addition to your soup/salad and each of the sides really could be a main course. The Mojo Tomatoes and the Parmesan Paprika Fries are awesome, but really you can’t go wrong with any of the sides. One thing to be cautious of is that their versions of the items aren’t always what you would expect. For example the eggplant parmesan is very good but not what you’d expect so be willing to go with what you’re served and not what you’re expecting. If you haven’t been there, go there.
