Pig Minds Brewing Co.

Awesome food (100% plant based!), and excellent brewery. I had the twisted pickles and breakfast pizza, plus the Oktoberfest and Blue Collar beers. Hands down A++ across the board. Highly recommended.

Outside dining in the summer was nice. The Brussels sprouts are amazing, highly recommend. I got the Korean BBQ tacos and they were pretty good. It’s the only real vegan place in town so if that’s your vibe, this place is perfect.

Fantastic food and the Disco Menagerie beer was one of the best beers I’ve ever drank. Service was a little slow and server was inattentive (never got a water), but not a big deal. I’ll definitely be back. I wish they had that beer to take home but they don’t!

I live over an hour away but this is still one of my go-to vegan establishments! The menu is extensive and there are always new specials to try. It's nice to know that not only is all the food vegan, but the beer is, too! Not expensive, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Their weekend brunch is my favorite.

We love Pig Minds.
Tina P and Jenna were awesome again. Remembering our drinks when we walked in shows true people skills. The food as always incredible, simply incredible.

Call me Kermit the frog because I've got pig on my mind, Pig Minds Brewing to be exact. This vegan focused food and beer company is as the kids would say LITTY. The Bianca Detroit style pizza is 10/10 and I usually don't go for Detroit. #Bearsfan. I'd highly recommend this place.

They get me. Great beer, awesome vegan food patio seating. Perfectly hits the spot after mountain biking.
I am very thankful for them.

We came to celebrate our dad’s birthday and it was a success!

Upon entering we were greeted fast and our drink order was taken in a timely manner. One of
Our drinks came out wrong , but someone else in the table took it, so it was fine .

Our dad is very picky when eating out. He likes to eat very healthy food at home (smoothies, no fat, no sugar, no salt etc) so if he eats anything that isn’t very healthy, his stomach won’t settle well. We picked this place because of the blt quinoa salad for him, and me being a vegetarian I didn’t mind at all. We all shared the stuffed jalapeño poppers and loved them! My sibling and I had the same burger deluxe, I upgraded my fries to a side salad which was delicious! My other sibling had the fried chicken garlic sandwich and she liked it, and my dad had the BLT quinoa salad, he was impressed! He LOVED it, said he hasn’t “had a salad like this one”. We also had dessert and although my dad loved the peanut butter brownie, the rest of us thought it was okay.

The vibe of the place is fun and they have fun industrial decor as well. We went on a Tuesday early afternoon so it was t packed, but I can see this place getting very busy and parking being an issue, so arrive a bit earlier if going on the weekend .

Service was good, friendly and knowledgeable although I feel he could have paid attention a bit more, he was chatting with the people at the bar so it would take him a couple extra minutes to check on food and bring desserts out.

We definitely recommend Pig Minds and I will be back soon for my bf to try! 😉 5 out of 5⭐

The main section was not in use during my visit but this is a great place. Pinball, canning operation and visible fermentation area. Bet this is a hopping place on the weekend.

Oh and the beer selection is good.

MINDBLOWN by the entirely vegan menu! Visited mid-afternoon on a Saturday and the place was packed! It was a beautiful spring day, so outdoor seating was open as well and we still waited for a seat. It was a very short wait and so worth it! Great flight prices—10 5oz pours for $18 and there’s something to appease every taste!
We tried the Korean style cauliflower wings, soft pretzels, bruschetta Mac and cheese and Loaded fries. Everything was delicious! With an ever-evolving menu and a weekend brunch menu, you can always find something new to try. My vegan-skeptic husband enjoyed everything too—bonus! Can’t wait to visit again! 🍻

Updated review! Whenever we pass through Rockford, my kids will not let me go through without stopping by Pig Minds. They love the burgers and fries and those types of offerings. I'm a little bit more of a health nut, and I'm also gluten-free. I would give this place five stars no question, except that I wish there were more options for me especially on the dessert menu (there are no gluten free desserts.) I will say that I went a little bit of a different route this time, and I got all sides and a starter and I was very happy. I got a side of their beans, which are incredibly deep in flavor and actually special! Don't miss those. I also got the coleslaw, which was delicious, and I tried the blistered peppers for the first time and was blown away. They were so good and I ate the whole order by myself! One last detractor is that if you go on a weekend they are just so busy. I'm not sure how to resolve that, but the wait for a table would have been over an hour. It was windy and cold, so we decided to get takeout and eat it in our car! It took about 20 to 30 minutes to get our order, which was less of a wait time then we were told it would be. Everything was hot and no mistakes. We'll be back!

Came for the EV charger, and was delighted to find excellent service and delicious food. Great beer selection too!

Amazing restaurant, just tried for the first time and cannot wait to go back. The food was incredible and I loved the patio.

I got so excited when pulling up and seeing an EV charger as I drove in from far away, but was very disappointed to see it was only for Tesla cars. There are more EV cars out there than Tesla!

Nonetheless, I will definitely return and will be hopeful other electric cars will be able to charge there one day.

What a fun surprise! I didn't even know it was plant based until I studied the menu. Everything we tried was delicious. We had a flight, the "steak" tip fries, and the big pretzel. So impressive. We will definitely be back

Had not been for a long time, but wanted to see the music they had tonight. The menu has really expanded from last time I was there. We shared the nachos which were excellent. Service was top notch. Wife and I kept looking over the amazing menu items. Already planning next trip.

Pig Minds Brewing Co. how DARE you not have more than one location! Your vegan fair is absolutely spectacular! I’m very disappointed that I’m unable to savor your food on a regular basis due to my travels. Your restaurant is fun and family friendly although often times your staff was slightly negligent due to how busy your establishment is most days. This location has been my favorite vegan stop, by far! Everything I sampled was phenomenally satiating! Your entrees, sides and desserts are well worth any wait and your attention to detail is magnifique! Keep up the marvelous and note worthy efforts! There are not many establishments that can garnish such a huge omnivorous fan base on top of their solely plant-based clientele. Thank you!

I didn't have anything to eat, but I'm told the vegan menu is outstanding. I WILL say the same about the beers that they brew here - outstanding! Parking can be difficult during events, be patient. Also, there's a charger for EV drivers.

So this is my new favorite restaurant! It's been upsetting not being able to find a real vegan restaurant in the area. And then I found you guys! The food was great! The service was even better! Not to mention the prices are good too. See you again soon.

Sorry about the plate in the picture with just chocolate on it. There was a delicious brownie there but I dug right in before I got a chance to take a picture of it. Just so you know, you should try it!

Very few restaurants do I find SO many items on the menu that I want to try! And, it’s all vegan. I’m not vegan but myself wanting to come back again and again and again. I haven’t had anything bad yet, including the beer. Cannot say enough about the Outback nachos. 10/10 would get again.

First timers and enjoyed everything we ordered! My patty melt was big enough that I now have lunch for tomorrow! We will definitely be back!
