Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
The place has a good menu. I enjoyed the Brussel Sprouts quite a bit. They are crunch and tasty. The flat bread was so so. The OC Philly was messy and hard to eat. I wouldn't order those two again but the atmosphere was good and it was nice and quiet.
We had such a great brunch at 1886 Brewing Co.. The brunch board was incredible—waffle-battered chicken, sausage, candied bacon, scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, French toast sticks, churros, pancake bites, bread pudding, and all the syrups. We were shocked at how much of it we ate because it was that good. We’re doing Dry January and had two of the best mocktails we’ve had anywhere—creative, balanced, and not an afterthought at all. Can’t wait to come back (both sober and not). Highly recommend for brunch in Orange Circle.
Food was surprisingly good. The Gabagool flatbread was a good pick and the pretzel wasn’t overly salty like at many other establishments. There was a decent selection of beers, but unfortunately several of them were not available when we visited.
I'm a local here at Old Towne orange and got really excited for their new 14$ special! I came in and you seat yourself, my elderly mother arrived before me (her vision is no longer the best) and told me she was standing at the host stand for five minutes without being directed by any staff at all, despite them being at the bar. The service was minimal, definitely just takes or order and leaves you for the rest of your stay type vibe, but I wasn't expecting much for 14$. I was surprised when I saw a cockroach crawl across the floor and a hair in my beer. Prior to me discovering the hair at the bottom of my beer, it was pretty tasty. The food was actually one of the worst I've had in the circle. The oil on my fries was definitely too old (they were dark brown and very oily), which is surprising since I came in for an early lunch. Beside that its what you expect from a brewery, tables were sticky, staff dismissive, food mediocre at best.
My wife wanted to try the Brunchuterie board and it did not disappoint! The candied bacon, churros, and the bread pudding were the stand outs, but everything was delicious. Joseph, our server, was amazingly friendly and accommodating. Great service! The mimosa flight was also fun to try. Will definitely be back!
