Absolutely terrible service. Should have read the reviews first. By all costs avoid this place, staff walk around like zombies, leave you waiting 10-15 minutes and don't know what to do!

This is now reflecting on Q-BBQ too.

Our second visit to Dainton, however super disappointed time around. We had a reservation and were seated at a table that gave us bang on a hour to order/drink/eat, we asked to move and the bearded gentlemen advised we had been seated at the wrong table but made it sound like it was my wife’s fault.

Service of any kind is basically non existent unless you’re arriving and being seated, the hand off of food or a staff member clearing tables as your leaving. Gone are the days of “how is/was your meal? ”, “can I get you some water”, kids menu is bareable however the 45 minute wait for food isn’t, especially when the joint isn’t close to capacity on a Sunday afternoon.

Menu on Google is entirely different to the actual franchised BBQ joint that has taken over now, very disappointing as the food previously was great and had some good variety especially for the younger ones.

Can only order food via QR code and have to queue for drinks which is just ridiculous and not what we experienced last time we attended this brewery.

Overall an extremely disappointing experience this time and I can’t say that we would return.

Great experience. We recently moved here and have found our go-to venue. Nice decor, bar staff were fantastic and simple, good food. Hope to see the live band next time:)

New, delicious beers always on rotation. Non/low alc, full alc, pale ales, porters, fruity, sour.ahhh so many choices! Something for everyone. Food is top too, chicken is great, pork belly is great, sauces are great! Atmosphere is cosy, super chill on a weeknight. Bella and the team are super friendly and welcoming, making sure you have everything you need. Thanks team, can't wait to come back!

I booked this Brewery for a small arvo get together for my brothers 30th in the outdoor area and the atmosphere and food was great, the beer is obviously quality but the staff is what has made me leave this review, they went above and beyond and made the evening, really appreciated.

Dainton Brewery sponsors a wrestling promotion I work for called Adrenaline Professional Wrestling in Seaford and their services and availability are phenomenal. They’re informative, helpful and so kind. We love what they do and what they make. Their drinks sell like wildfire at our shows and my personal favourite it’s their Flamingo sour pink lemonade, SO TASTY! We love you Dainton and I love promoting your product at our shows!?

Thanks Dainton brewery for being our furst and number 1 stop on yesterday's beer tour. We were met and given an amusing and informative run down of all things beer by the fabulous Bella. She was a fantastic host and seemed to have just as much fun as us, which highlighted just how much pride and enthusiasm, Dainton and its staff feed into their beer. Planning on doing this again soon, real soon, with your Bella being a major drawcard. Not forgetting the incredible beer! I'm now a pink fantic?

The service from the staff was great from entering to leaving.

Asked a few times if there was anything we needed.

Craft beer was great.
I had the Blood Orange beer and my partner had a local red Pinot noir.
Both were very good

I had the buffalo chicken burger.
Great tastes and very nice.

Smokehouse pizza also had great tastes and was very yummy.

Amazing customer service from Rone and Courtney. Amazing food; the chef was happy to swap when my friend wasn’t happy

Came in with my husband today, wish Id been in sooner. What a great place you have going - tasty beers, good vibes, and fantastic service by both your people that were on. Had the pleasure of being looked after by Belle and what a great worker she is. Nothing was too much trouble from helping me select beers to try, to arranging better seating for us, and even happy tto stop and chat when she wasn't rushing around. Belle and Beers are why I'll be back! And I'll be trying that spider idea too!

Came here for lunch with some work mates, beer is delicious, pizza was also good. Fantastic atmosphere. Will happily come back.

Really bad food. Not sure the pizza could even be called pizza. The kitchen clearly operating on their own accord, no changes to any item even as small as changing a sauce. Seems like they run the show, which would be ok if they were producing yummy food but it's all made without any love and not good.
Great beer, wish they got a new chef and injected some love to the food!

Fantastic beer, delicious, crispy chips, nice atmosphere, great and friendly service. Ordering using the QR code was an absolute win for us. Don’t know why more restaurants don’t do this. The descriptions on the tasting paddle was also a win. We will definitely be back. Thanks Dainton Brewery. Keep doing what you’re doing

I do really like this place. But, the menu doesn't cater to the vegan friends very well. They have a couple of options, but they're done pretty poorly. If you eat meat, and/or you're coming for some tasty beers and a good vibe, then you're going to have a good time. Hopefully they can just tweak the menu a bit and put a bit more effort into their plant-based options.

Everything seemed to be watered down with soda water or something. Everything to drink had very little taste and not drinkable. Music was referring to passionfruit seltzer and cocktails and vodka and raspberry. So little taste

Certainly not what it used to be since it changed names. Disappointed, as this was our regular weekend place to go.

I just had the best brownie and cream I've ever had. The service is very good, friendly staff that seem happy to be there. Keep working on the burgers and you'll do well.

Good vibe from this venue, staff are friendly, the pub food was great (recommend bbq pulled pork burger) and good range of drinks. Trivia night was fun, get in early for a table as it gets busy.
