Mighty Squirrel Taproom & Kitchen

Great night out with the wife. Fire pit, some fun activities, board games, corn hole... we went before the revamp. We had prepackaged chips and Guac - it was perfect for us! Giant bag of Chips and a tub of Guac - drank some amazing beers until the chips were gone! Parking is plentiful - Beer is Local - Bring some friends!

Great spot in Waltham. Mighty Squirrel Taproom & Kitchen has a big, open space with a great atmosphere. Solid beer selection with plenty of IPAs and seasonal options, and the food was better than expected for a taproom. Easy parking and friendly staff. Definitely a go-to brewery in the area.

My favorite neighborhood spot is ruining itself. I’m writing this not to bash Mighty Squirrel, but in hopes they reevaluate their recent changes. We used to visit nearly every weekend for the casual atmosphere and rotating food trucks. Recently, they’ve replaced those trucks with an their own food and moved to a seated-service model. With only two waitresses working a busy Friday night, the service was understandably overwhelmed. The food arrived before our drinks and was a major letdown. For $80, we received two beers, a soup, a burger, and "Birria" cheese curds. While the beer was great, the burger and curds were ice cold. What was once a great local spot has become a generic, overpriced restaurant with below average food and poor service.

Small coffee bar in the back of the brewery. Stumbled upon this place while searching for a local cafe and found it quiet and spacious. I came around noon, and there were plenty of seatings available. The Roasted Chocolate Hazelnut latte (winter special) was decent, and the Liege waffle was great. The food options are limited to a few pastries, but overall, it’s a solid choice for a laid-back work session or a peaceful coffee break.

Food is great, beer is great, but the conversion to table service was a terrible choice. When you add table service, this becomes a restaurant experience. It's no longer a chill "come and go as you want" brewery experience. I'd much rather be able to sit wherever, without a server, and order drinks and food on my own. QR code, or thru the bar or whatever. Plus, way too many children. I don't mind a few kids, but there are tiny kids running all over this place.
