FiftyFifty Brewing Co - Truckee, California

I really liked the Donner Party Porter and I LOVED the Totality imperial stout. The food was also pretty great, the Philly I had was as good as the ones I tried in Philadelphia. the wife had the pulled pork and some sort of gin cocktail that was pretty tasty. if I could afford it I'd come here a lot more. The kiddos enjoyed the pizza and chicken

I had a great time, good food. A little pricy but honestly worth it. Definitely try the cheese curds!! They are so good! And our server was very sweet too!

The place is so warm and inviting. Our waitress was so kind and attentive and gave great beer recommendations. Their pizza with fig and arugula and cheese curds were so fresh and delicious 😋! Would definitely order again! Overall, it was a great place and would very much go to it again! Thank you, Fifty Fifty Brewing Company 😊🥰!

Every time I go on a trip, I dream of finding a venue like this. A six hour trip to Reno isn’t very long, but finding a magical rest stop with good food and beer, that you can deem a ‘must stop’ for future trips is akin to seeing a unicorn.

Obviously the surrounding forest adds to the charm, as does the wooden structures surrounding Fifty Fifty. Stepping out of your car, you’re hit by the quality of the clean air and amazing beauty and it puts you in such a peaceful state of mind. My colleagues and I said simultaneously, “I could live here happily the rest of my life.” God bless Truckee.

Fifty Fifty Brewing is a restaurant as well as brewery. They have some of the top rated beer in the Sacramento/Truckee/Reno area, having won medals for many of their brews.

Lots of swag available if you feel like representing, plus beer to go for the responsible drivers.

Restrooms were clean and stocked.

Staff was incredibly friendly, creating a small town atmosphere where people care for own another, now each other’s lawns, and neighborhoods where doors can be left unlocked.

The food? I don’t even know how to describe the deliciousness of the burger I had. It had cream cheese and jalapeños on top of a burger patty so thicc it would make Kim Kardashian envious. I ordered it as an experiment, expecting to be disgusted, but from rhetorical first bite I was mesmerized. I’m salivating while writing this review, reminiscing the kaleidoscope of flavors. My two colleagues were equally overly satisfied with their meals.

The beer we had were awesome and paired well with the meals.

Everything was amazing!! We were so pleasantly surprised with the affordable prices and large serving sizes. Our waiter was super nice and food came out sooo quickly. We ordered the burrata (the pita chips were the best I ever had), harvest salad (caramelized walnuts were the best part), nachos with pulled pork, and birria tacos. Highly recommended.

We stopped off at this spot on a Wednesday afternoon and were immediately seated by a very nice hostess. The wait staff was all very attentive, and we never had any issues if we need something. The facility itself was well appointed and clean.
For the beer, I got their Hazy IPA and it was fine. Not the best I've had but certainly not bad either. I only got the 1 beer though.
For the food, we got 4 items:
The Cheese Curds - There were amazing, I want to go back just for them. Like really really good.
The Pretzel w/ Beer Cheese - This was very good, the beer cheese had great flavor and the pretzel was well baked.
The French Dip - This was where the issues come, it was like $16 and it just didn't have enough meet on it. It almost had more bread than it had meat 🙁
The Chicken Sandwich - It was well fried, but my wife thought it may have been a frozen chicken breast and didn't have great flavor.

So the bottom line is that it's worth a stop, and I plan to hit it again, but I'm probably sticking the Curds/Pretzel.

Went here for a friendly dinner gathering. Ordered the flank steak(medium rare), flavor was excellent but the steak was more on the tough side. Steak was served with mash potatoes and asparagus. Mashed potatoes were deliciously buttery, and the asparagus were roasted perfectly for tenderness in every bite. Service was decent, but could've been better. Overall this joint is a bit above average for a brewery style restaurant.

Great brew pub! Large selection of terrific beers (of course!) and a lot of food options. The food is consistently good - we had the fish tacos and the grilled shrimp tacos last time we visited and they were perfectly cooked and good portions.

Good place to take the family as it’s kid-friendly. It gets super busy during high season, so plan ahead if you have a large group.
