High Sierra Brewing Company

Preferably 5 stars, but just giving 4 stars because I am still at the "first impression" stage with only one visit under my belt.

My SO, the dog, and I went driving around and found ourselves hungry and in CC, so quickly yelped "patio restaurant" and this place pops up, call to double check dogs are allowed, they are! No surprise right, or I would t be writing this review ha.
Anyways we find the place (a little tricky for us).

The patio is covered with a pergola and surrounded by a half wall and then plexi-glass on the top half. I also saw outdoor heaters. Its casual, like a nice backyard.
We pick a shady spot and get set up. A Bloody Mary and a beer recommendation from the waitress. Check out the specials board and its happy hour, 7 days a week. Score.

A good menu selection. I got a side salad which was simple, fresh and crisp and the chicken tenders and fries. And my boyfriend got the Gorgonzola burger. After I ordered I asked the waitress if my fries weren't dropped (in the fryer) if I could substitute mashed potatoes and gravy, she said no problem except she had to check to see if they got a delivery they were waiting on (the potatoes)... turned out they didn't have what they needed yet (if I remember right something about 4 pm). Even if that was a lie (because now that I'm thinking about it, kinda doesn't make sense), its okay because it seemed believable and the fries were actually garlic fries with real garlic!!
So I was actually more than happy with the fries.

The chicken was beer battered there and amazing as was my bf's burger.

It was a great experience overall and our dog was happy and the prices good, especially with the everyday happy hour. If we lived in CC, we would probably be there often.

we were in town for a bowling tournament and this brewery was near my hotel room. im soooo lucky. love the downtown feel. regulars made you feel comfortable. beer was awesome, brown was my favorite. staff was friendly and helpful. went back the next day and all of down town was slammed because it was the taste of carson. sooo many people. high sierra was great even when they were packed! ordered a meat lovers pizza pie, waited a little longer, which was understandable seeing how the kitchen was also cooking for the festival.  staff courteously had explained this. but beer never ran dry, and i will go back.

Eh. This place is okay. They have a patio, which is nice...when it's actually open, that is. They have a decent beer selection and the happy-hour prices are pretty cheap....as long as you stick to the same old "standards", that is. The service is usually pretty slow and the food is usually pretty "eh". The "garlic rosemary" fries have so much rosemary on them that they kind of taste like perfume and they somehow always get the pizzas perfectly lukewarm. It's not cold, by any means, but it certainly isn't hot either....and this is the way it is every single time. The wings are good, but inconsistent. On one plate, you can (and usually will) get a mix hot, cold, dry and drenched ones. Like I said, this place is doable, but not desirable. My fiancé and I regularly find ourselves saying stuff like "Yeah. Having a beer out on the patio sounds nice, but their food kinda sucks.", which has resulted in us going elsewhere (without a much-loved patio) on multiple occasions. I don't know. It is what it is, I suppose, but the subpar food, inconsistent service and increasingly limited happy-hour beer selection is starting to keep us away. But, hey...they have a patio. Again, eh.
