About this restaurant

  • Great for craft beers
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
Foxtown Brewing is steeped in tradition and driven by a passion for great beer. Once the Opitz Zimmerman Brewery in the mid-1800s, Foxtown is a reclamation of Mequon history. We’re not the biggest brewery around, nor the flashiest, but you’ll see that we take brewing very seriously. Every ingredient in every recipe is backed by reason. Our beer is good on purpose.

    We’ve been here one other time, and thought we’d try it again. The ambience is great, outdoor space is beautiful, very comfortable. Plenty of parking, solid menu choices and good beer offerings. Will definitely go back.

    One of the few bars and restaurants in the area that is open on a Monday. Went for lunch and didn't disappoint. Had the special--Cuban sandwich--and the brewery's own Oktoberfest on tap. Both were excellent. Great atmosphere. Great service.

    The beer was excellent, our service was great. The menu descriptions are poor. I ordered a burger (I do not remember the name) which was to have a burger patty, a sausage patty and brisket. It was missing the sausage patty. I asked the server about it and she looked and said "yes it is missing" . She returned with one and told me "it was mixed into the burger patty". The one she brought me was raw, so I was still unable to eat it. There was no sausage and why does it say its a patty , if it is mixed into the beef patty. Either it is described incorrectly, or I was lied to.

    Went in around 8:30pm/made a reservation -we are in the industry . We have dined several times. Server did a fine job-Cobb Salad was fine. Pork entree said “Pork Chop” Not so much a chop-served a piece of pork about the size of a U-8 scallop. Subbed the Brussels Sprouts… they were inedible, as the vinegar overpowered everything. They were pretty much slopped on the plate. I know it was a bit pre closing -but you have to keep up your standards from beginning to end.

    Well…., brisket, ribs, and corn bread were dry and tough and the meats lacked the smoky flavor from previous visits. Sprouts, Mac and cheese, peach cobbler, and sausage were great. Manager courteously compensated our issues and this was an unusual experience for Foxtown. Even though we had issues, we will return.

    I wouldn’t recommend the Heritage Stack burger. Description is delicious but it was terrible and I should have sent back. Dry and brisket was inedible. Giant onion ring looked good but too tough to eat. Good beer and great service though. Love that they do lagers.

    Nothing special. Middle of the road bar food. Was much better 3 years ago. A go-to if nothing else.
