“ Great experience! I'm honestly not sure how they only have a 4.3. The drinks and food were great, attentive staff and the atmosphere was fun! They even had live music! My only regret was not getting the apple crisp for dessert. I was too full, but I'll be back to try it. The table next to us has some and it looked so good! ”
“ Big Axe Brewing is one of our go-to spots in Nisswa—year-round. The beers are great, the food never disappoints (highly recommend the wings), and the atmosphere just feels like Nisswa. During the summer, the live music out on the patio is always a good time, and it’s a perfect spot to take in downtown. They’ve got solid lunch options, weekly dinner specials, and they host fun events throughout the year. We’ve spent plenty of afternoons just hanging out on the patio, soaking up that lake life. The owner and staff are always friendly and make you feel right at home. Definitely one of our favorite spots in town. ”
“ This is our favorite local brewery! Great beer and wonderful food that is not the usual brewery fare. Went for the Mother’s Day brunch and it was amazing!! ”
“ We pass this place 4x per year and finally got to stop here. Great beers and greag food, especially if you’re in the area. Portions are modest yet delicious and come out quick. Everything is order at the counter and the staff was friendly and attentive. This whole town has a beach town vibe which I love. 10/10 will come back. Great lunch spot!! ”
“ Great place to get out of the sun on summer vacation. Atmosphere is light and food is delicious! Good service and very clean! Outside seating is nice for families who want a little shade. 10/10! ”
“ This is the third time I’ve stopped in and I always love the atmosphere! The staff is super friendly and the drinks are good! I’m not a beer drinker and I love that they have other options! I got the cherry almond smoothie sour and the raspberry creamsicle seltzer and they were so good! The smoothie is kind of filling too! ”
“ We were delighted to enjoy beer flights, nachos, and wings with our family. Everyone at the brewery was friendly. The food came quickly, which is great with little kids. We enjoyed every beer we tried! We will definitely be back the next time we visit! ”
“ First time visiting this brewery and it definitely did not disappoint. When you walk in you’re greeted with respect and positive energy. If you are thirsty I recommend the sour or the blonde (coming from a Busch light drinker). If you’re hungry, the dry rub wings are likely the top 5 best I’ve had in Minnesota easily. There are a ton of board games to choose from to pass the time. The employees are very helpful in choosing which beverage or food to order, very friendly and knowledgeable about their craft. ”
