Silver Branch Warrenton Station

We were able to go to their soft opening night. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and beer. I ordered a Bavarian burger with fries and it was very good. My friend had the mussels and he said they were cooked just right and tasted great. He said they were the best he had in a while. We each tried 3 different beers and believe they were all good. We enjoyed the outside seating area. We both believe this place will be great to meet up again.

UPDATE: I recently discovered that the French fries are tossed in beef fat. As a non meat eater this is very upsetting to learn, especially as the menu has not always stated that so I fear I consumed meat when I did not want to. I hope silver branch will consider being more considerate of their non meat eating customers. Great first experience at silver branch, lots of indoor/outdoor seating. Food, drinks and service were all exceptional; staff is very beer educated. Will definitely be back in the future!

Finally made it to Silver Branch. We were regulars at the former tenant of that building, Warthog, and loved it. Silver Branch is pretty good at filling its shoes. Beer was good… lots of strong beers, but not overly heavy/yeasty like a lot of microbreweries. Food was decent. I had the burger which was not life changing but pretty good. Wife had a salad and said it was on par with warthog. We went for lunch but will need to go back during dinner time to fully assess ambiance.

OK, so the first thing to note here is that the FOOD here is UNBELIEVABLE!!! The head chef is a Michelin Star rated chef and came from the amazing "The Inn at Little Washington" which is a Michelin 3-star restaurant. This unassuming brewery has some of the best food I have ever had anywhere. Next, is the Beer (being a brewery and all..), the beer is very good and they have a welcomed wide variety of beer styles to choose from. I am the VP of a local homebrew club and I seek out breweries everywhere I go to try beer to keep up with different styles and how (new to me) breweries do with their beers. This brewery is better than average as their beers are both technically accurate and are a good representation of the styles as well as providing a large variety of beer styles to suit everyone'

My mother and I ate here twice in one weekend! The food is really exceptional and the beers delicious. I highly recommend the Tear Drop Salad with shrimp (the shrimp were perfectly seasoned and cooked). The also recommended the Gnome World beer, very caramel and refreshing. My only complaints were that we sat outside and while there is shade there are no fans to create breeze when it's very hot. Also when we ordered dinner they brought our food out about 10-15 minutes apart, I had ordered the confit chicken and waited to eat until my mother received her salad and my food wasn't hot any longer. I highly recommend Silver Branch, I hope they bring in some live music and get fans for their patios!
