After all these years AND Covid - They're still banging out great food & brews Spent Prez day weekend in swingin' Yuma, our first overnight there in 3 years, despite stopping for fuel while driving between Tucson and SD every couple of weeks. It's sad that many of our favorite eateries are now gone. We decided to spend dinner on Valentine's Day at another of our Yuma favorites, Prison Hill Brewing. Well, after our 3 year hiatus, they've still got the Mojo! One of our go-to dishes there was the deep fried avocado. It's still there and just as good as ever. Lightly battered and not "gooshy", it has a really delicate flavor. I could eat that all night. Great pairing with their mainstay Chango Malo Coconut Stout. For a main, I had something previously unknown to me called "The shank", a hamburger patty stuffed with mozzarella cheese and bacon with another (bonus) battered deep-fried avocado on top. This concoction is served with lettuce and tomato, all piled on a brioche bun. - Home run! Asked for it rare and I got a beautifully cooked pink patty - tough to do for the stuffed patty combo. Bravo! It was a busy Friday night on a holiday weekend and on Valentines Day. I was ready for slow and lacking service, but to my great surprise, it was prompt, engaged and genuine. Kudos to the staff. We also didn't feel rushed or hurried. I'll make sure we're back more often.
Menu has a ton of great food choices. I had a side salad with chipotle our ranch and that dressing is crazy delicious. I had the growed up grilled cheese and added avocado. Omg. It was so delicious I ate the whole thing! The spicy coleslaw was good but I didn't find it spicy at all. We sat at the bar at about 11 am on a Friday and it got super packed about noon.
We had the opportunity to stop here again - this time with a group of nine to celebrate a 95th birthday. We loved the patio seating and they were quick to bring us heaters as the sun went down. Everyone loves the food selection and beverage options. The one big complaint I have is how long it takes from time of order until service. Seriously, waiting 20 minutes for a beer - at a brewery???? It wasn't a fluke - this happened last time. And we had to chase down our server to get our food orders placed and to get our bill. They really need to figure out how to get beverages out faster. Our server was a delight, but obviously overwhelmed. If you want faster service be sure to sit at the bar!
I've been there twice. Both times I liked the beers a lot. They have interesting taps like a peanut butter and jelly sour or a ginger bread ale that were better than I would have guessed and were fun to try regardless. Plus they have your more conventional pilsners and IPAs that were good. For food I've tried their fried chicken sandwich and their tri-tip sandwich. I found both to be just ok. I do like their fries - they're an interesting style I haven't seen elsewhere. Service was good, ambiance was a typical brewery vibe. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and wasn't especially crowded around lunchtime.
Downtown Yuma on the Main Street. They have great outdoor seating a super nice bar and lots of space inside. Food is excellent and burgers are cooked to order. The service was good for as busy as the restaurant was.
