What an incredible experience! We were driving Saturday and saw a billboard and decided to it a try. The fact they opened in 2019 and survived the pandemic says a it all. Chad the owner makes sure everything is running smooth and everyone … More is taken care off.
We ordered fried pickle chips and these are probably the best pickles with a ton of seasoning that makes them unique.
Their beer selection is really incredible and all their drinks are made with their own products.
Now comes the really amazing part; open the food menu and take a journey to a land of deliciousness.
Karston the owner's daughter came out to tell us all the dishes are made from scratch which makes it even more special. Plus she brought out a sampler flight that had a great variety of beers.
Side note they make kolaches which sell out quickly! The strawberry one was delish!
It's really astonishing when you see a small business make every the effort to have a scratch kitchen.
I ordered the Krootz Hell Yea Badass Burger, when I say this burger was massive I mean massive. Generally I won't brag about a burger but this one was probably one of the tastiest, juiciest and most flavourful burgers I have ever had in my life.
My wife ordered the a taco that even the tortilla was made in their kitchen.
For dessert my wife ordered an ice cream beer infused (guess what made in house) with apple crumble. Make sure to order your own - this sharing business sometimes does not work for me.
Next time I am ordering two flights of beers to try them all!
Hey Karston - see you at the eating contest!!

Stopped in on my way thru town and I’m happy I did. From the outside it may look small but once inside it is a very large restaurant with several rooms. The service was 10/10
Everything ordered was cooked and prepared well. BUT THE KEY … More LIME 🍋‍🟩 PIE puts this place on the map hands down. I would recommend if you are in or around the area to give this place a try. Thanks I’ll be back 🩷✌️

From the moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles and top notch service. Kyle was our bartender but everyone was helpful. We started off sampling some of their brews and shines. I ended up going with the Coffee-Rita brew which was … More superb! We came on a Sunday and had brunch. I had the breakfast burrito and was very pleasantly surprised. The tortilla was fresh and homemade along with their salsas. Their menu is quite large and I was curious about their homemade ranch. I asked for a small sample…. I was not disappointed! We look forward to coming back and trying out their lunch and dinner options.

Absolute delight. Our group of 3 ordered a TON of food and it all came out delicious. The staff were excellent. They made sure we were taken care of. Each person made it feel like we all have been friends for years.
Could not recommend … More coming here more.

We came from out of town and stopped in based off the recommendation from a local. We stayed two nights in Gainesville, and stopped in the first night and came back the 2nd. The staff was really attentive and very nice, the atmosphere was … More really chill and welcoming. Food was fantastic. We tried sliders, pretzels and mushrooms. We definitely were interested in the pizzas, a lot were going out when we were in and they looked very good! Prices on drinks were good, and they were fantastic. Thanks so much for a good Gainesville experience! We will be back.

Just wow!
I'm vegan and gluten sensitive and went in not expecting being able to eat anything but the bartenders were able to get me a corn tortilla veggie taco with a beyond meat pattie diced up up in it and it was so flavorful! I … More was greatly impressed.
Both bartenders were so friendly and helpful! 💙💙

This is definitely a place to stop if you're in or passing through Gainesville,TX. Fantastic service and great food. The place is unassuming from the outside, but they take great care of you when you come inside! Great burgers, microbrew … More beer and appetizers.

We had a couple of flights here and ate some really good food. I love that everything is fried in beef tallow. Highly recommend this place. My husband had the best Reuben Sandwich either of us has ever had. It was delicious!

Finally, the beer selection was extensive and food. We samples 8 beer as and they … More were all wonderful. Top it off with super nice service. Good job.

Krootz is fantastic. From support of the iLLamanati Hockey Club to the food that's fresh coming out of the kitchen. The beer is good and cold, but the Apple Pie Moonshine has to be the smoothest drink of all. Get yourself a Growler … More full! Bring it back for refills!

Ok, it's a brewery yet So Much More!! The food is great and the staff is friendly. Extra bonus yet have local Texas wines if you are not feeling like a beer. The Ruben sandwich is loaded with meat, and the Mushroom burger is filled … More with tasty mushrooms on homemade bread. This place is totally worth the stop! Great beer, amazing food, and cool people!

Y'all, even if you don't drink, you have gotta try this place. We saw the billboard and loved the art style so we checked it out.
The food is straight up phenomenal. (Extremely filling potions, too.)
On Saturdays they close … More at 2:00 a.m. but the kitchen stays open until around 11:00 or 12:00.
Everything is so well seasoned and flavorful. Also, the bread they get from the bakery they partner with is truly amazing.
Whoever the chefs are, they really know their stuff. I'm not sure if they make the pizza dough with their knowledge from the brewery or what but it's some of the best I've had.
Also, you HAVE to try their desserts.
We went twice already and tried the:
🥨Pretzels - Fluffy and great with beer cheese
🍕Meat Lovers Pizza - awesome dough, great sauce
🍺🍨The Beer Ice Cream - so unique and delicious if you like beer
🥧Key Lime Pie - So creamy and really full of fresh citrus flavor
🥪Reuben Sandwich - First Reuben I've had but I'm sold!
🧅Onion rings - Perfect batter
🧀Macaroni and Cheese - Another really unique flavoring with the gochujang but it works so well!
🍗🌶️ Hellfire Wings - Sweet and spicy and perfect
🍫 Chocolate Cheesecake - So rich and whatever they do with the light addition of beer really makes it next level!

Came in for an early lunch and grabbed a few beers! I really loved the atmosphere. If we lived closer, I'd definitely make it a regular stop. I will be bringing my boyfriend back. It has a pool room with several pool tables. … More The area we sat looks like they have music sometimes and the front bar area was very cozy. The wait staff was friendly, the service was fast and I enjoyed the food. We had the onion rings. My son had a sandwich and I had some grilled fajita style chicken with mushrooms and peppers. Both beers that I had were tasty! I'll definitely go back.

Was looking for a dog-friendly dining place locally (we're from Whitesboro) and someone mentioned Krootz. We decided to bring Powder along for our weekly date night to try it out. Man, the staff and everyone here was sooo welcoming … More to Powder. He got all the attention! They even brought him his own dog bowl for water and dog treats! Will definitely be back!! Kenya was absolutely amazing and took great joy in spoiling Powder.

This was a great find. We enjoyed the layout a d look of the place very much. You can simply come here lounge and relax like a coffee shop but beer instead. I'm not a beer drinking but I was told by the person I was with that the beer … More was very good. I can personally say the bacon marmalade pizza and honey garlic wings where fabulous. Onions rings were thick and seasoned not just plain oil and batter. Who knew that a brewery could offer up such delicious food, not just small apps/finger food but a full on meal. This place is a must try and has been added to the list 👌🏽
