Dust Bowl Brewing Co. Brewery Taproom

Really great drinks and atmosphere. Mitchell's Harley Davidson, Dust Bowl and Russ Brown hosting a bike meet up. Really good turn out, such a great even going on. And super good food.

We visited Dustbowl Brewing in Turlock for the first time today and had a very mixed experience. The food and drinks were good, and our waitress was absolutely amazing — friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Unfortunately, the positive vibe was ruined by how we were treated at the end of our meal. We had a reserved table with the standard 2-hour limit (understandable). A woman wearing a blue shirt (who was not our server) came over and abruptly told us our time was up and we needed to finish our food and drinks because "its been 2 hours....AND I gave you an additional 20 minutes and other customers are waiting for the table". Understandable, but not very tactful in the approach. Our server did not even have our food and drink tab on the table yet! Yet we are essentially being kicked out of the buisness that we were spending money at. The server or hostess could have front loaded the time limit and or inform us earlier that our time limit was coming to an end instead of abruptly kicking us out. We felt completely rushed out and essentially kicked out of the brewery. Horrible! A simple, professional alternative like offering us move to the beer garden or bar seating would have made a huge difference in our experience.We ended up buying beers to go and only learned about those other seating options from the helpful bartender on our way out. We left! Great potential here, but the hostess wearing a blue shirt was unprofessional and handled the situation poorly. We let the server know, about the experience (she was awesome!) But we will not be returning to the brewery.

Place was packed on a Wednesday! But its the simple things that when done right show this place is on the level. Down to a tight budget. Just got a basket of fries and a beer.. And everything was perfect. Atmosphere 10, fries 10, Beer 10. Service 110! Vibe.. excellent. Cool spot can't wait to come back..

Came in on a Sunday afternoon with a reservation set for 5 people. Took about a few minutes before they called us to our table. Our server was super kind and checked on us every so often, but gave us a lot of time to also chat with one another. The place wasn't busy when we first came in, but filled rather quickly with big and small groups. Once our food came, it was actually quite delicious and plentiful. Considering this was our first outing to Dust Bowl to replace another place that had gone downhill, I think we'll be coming here more often.

This place is huge. Great menu, lots of beers to choose from. The service was mid. Lots of young kids who aren’t super polished in the service industry. The food and the portions were great though. Everything was super rich and flavorful. Come hungry, or share plates because it was sooo much food. We showed you with no reservation and they sat us within 20 mins or so. Not bad. The flights were a fun experience, you fill out little cards with your choices and they bring them out numbered for you. They are generous pours for a flight too.

Dust Bowl was great! Food was good. Didn't get beer this round. But the ample space for kids to run around was perfect.

What a treasure to find this establishment. Really like the fact they open at 11. After 4 hours on the road I was ready for cold beer and food. The place is huge with lots of glass to watch the canning process. The staff is definitely young. Good interactions but some had no personality and didn't share my same passion for libations or merch. I still picked up a shirt and couldn't pass up a bottle of moonshine. Vienna Lager should win awards if not already. I couldn't find any trophies or medals on display. The Black Lager was true to style. Strawberry Seltzer was a treat to cleanse the pallet. Too many IPA's - Can't wait for that fad to end. My first opportunity to try Harris Ranch beef. What a treat. I prefer different bread for my burger as brioche bun has an off flavor in my opinion. Generous serving of fries.

Burgers are on point here! Definitely the best burger place in town. We shared a classic style burger as well as a Bacon Gorgonzola burger. Great flavor profile. Excellently cooked. Get the Okie Nachos to start + don’t forget to end with the S’more Dip (piping hot chocolate ganache with toasted marshmallows, apples, strawberries, pretzels balls and graham crackers. I was in HEAVEN. Our server, Haylee was a doll and very attentive, looking forward to the next feast!
