Giving this place 5 stars but also a little feedback. Lets start with the ribs bc most folks may not read all this, they were meaty as hell and had great flavor. I cook a lot of ribs and these were good enough id come back for em. The chicken, boneless and skinless thigh, right up my alley...maybe add a touch more of the sticky sauce. The steak skewer really impressed me, I expected low end, tough steak. Im not sure what cut it was, sirloin if I had to guess but it was not tough at all it was good, and flavorful. Mac and cheese had good flavor but, as I told the sales manager when she came up and asked how my meal was, it was clumpy, meaning not creamy. I get how tough it can be to serve creamy Mac and cheese in volume on demand so takenit for what its worth there. I opted out of the corn bread and got Brussel sprouts instead....I thought I was swapping but was charged an upgrade fee. Had I known that id have foregone the Mac and cheese based on a review I read with same issue I described. Its not a deal breaker for me tho. I will be back to this place on a future visit to the area. I should also mentoion i ordered the Grillmaster entree....and I left extremely full.
Its a tourist trap, atmosphere in and out great, reviews were good so thought why not. Nope, meatloaf texture was like a pate, 2 orders of same pineapple wings looked totally different, one was so over breaded and didnt taste like adverised. All food came out separately not together. Asked for my burger medium came out medium well, asked no lettuce, came with lettuce, never received childs chocolate milk yet it was on the bill. Manager made it right but what a disappointment. Had to make up for it on Friday at the Summer House DT Rehoboth.

I am not one to typically write a review, but wanted to share our recent experience. We went as a family of 4 for a weekend brunch meal. The environment was nice and clean. Good location for young kids. The server was very nice! The food was by far the worst brunch food I have ever had (biscuits and gravy). The gravy was cold, biscuit was not cooked all the way through, and the gravy had so maybe herbs it felt like I was eating grass. No one at our table enjoyed the food. We spent $100 for our family of 4 to eat brunch and were so excited as we have heard great things about this location. But left extremely disappointed.
My wife and I were up in Cary NC looking for a restaurant for dinner. After doing some Google searches, I found the Crooked Hammock Brewery. When we got there, we were seated immediately. The atmosphere and vibe was simply amazing They had an outdoor playground Area for kids and dogs. Our waitress Genesis came over and introduced herself and asked if we wanted anything to drink? She offered a couple of suggestions for me. And I was able to do some samples of some craft beers. Her suggestions were spot on, our drinks were absolutely fabulous. I ended up having the honey Chipotle salmon, my son had the fish tacos, and my wife had the pulled pork barbecue Sandwich. The food was absolutely FABULOUS! We all ate everything on our plates. Afterwards we had the brownie with ice cream. We left stuffed and very satisfied. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant. If you don't, you'll be truly missing an opportunity to have great food and a place with great atmosphere. If you have the chance, try to sit in Genesis' Section, she was absolutely phenomenal. I cannot wait to come back.

Special shout out to Lauren and Hailey for making it yet another wonderful experience this visit. I have never had a bad experience here and the entire bar staff is absolutely wonderful and I hate I can't mention them all by name.
Some complain about the price of food, but this isn't typical bar food, this is expertly crafted food. I had the sticky lager chicken tonight and it was freaking delicious. Way beyond your average restaurant and well worth the price.
Crooked Hammock has a wonderful selection of beers. I look forward to the cooler months coming to see if they can make as good of a stout as the other styles they currently have.
