Start Line Brewing Co - Hopkinton

Great BBQ food craft beers ,clean bright one of the larger barbecue restaurants we've been to lots of open seating , so you see yourself, go up to the counter order your food a waiter brings the food to your table which has a number on it live entertainment, which was great the night we went a Johnny Cash tribute band performed Counterfeit Cash engaging the guests I highly recommend this restaurant and entertainment was a bonus

Beer was good and food was ok. For a families with toddlers owners suggested that they were not a chuck e cheese. Multiple reviews suggesting same issue with families with toddlers. Space is limited for families with small children, would consider a different location. While they offer a limited kids menu I wouldn't consider kids friendly. Customer service is mediocre.

We had lunch here on the Saturday before memorial day. We tried the raspberry lime sour, the tortuga Mexican lager, and the brand new pilsner.The Mexican lager was a great lager, nicely rounded with a hint of extra hops over your average mass market version.The pilsner was awesome. A very nice gentleman who I assume is the proprietor explained to us that pilsners take far longer to make than an ipa, but he likes them and he gets to decide so there it is. Whoa Nelly indeed.The sour was very tasty but very sour. What did I expect, right? Not something I could drink in volume but very refreshing.To eat, we had pulled pork poutine, brisket sandwich, and falafel sandwich.The poutine was outstanding, with pulled pork, a bbq sauce style gravy, cheese curds and fripp fries. I had never heard of the latter they look like small skins hollowed out wedges, maybe. They were very crispy and a perfect vehicle for all of the other ingredients.The brisket was thick, tender and came with caramelized onions on brioche.The falafel sandwich was delicious and crispy, delivered on flatbread with a tahini style sauce, cucumber, tomato and hummus.The patio was large and well laid out. Tables were roomy and comfortable. You might find yourself sharing with other parties at busy times. There are lots of umbrellas for shade, and lots of lights strung up. I'm sure it is very pretty in the evening.The staff were very friendly and accommodating, helping us to get ourselves set up with a drink and order food. Hint seat yourself and get drinks, order food at the bar using your tab and table number.

Great beer—got the HAZY twice! Great place! There were a wide variety of food to choose from and most of all they were delicious!

They offer a delightful seltzer that gluten-free customers appreciate for not being overly sweet. I ordered the lobster roll without the roll, accompanied by a side salad, and it was excellent. My husband had the ribs, which he found good but a bit dry. He felt that the cornbread and corn bean salad were too spicy, overloaded with jalapeños. However, he did enjoy the Haden Rowe Pilsner. They feature great live music on weekends, but they don't have enough tables or seating outside. There's definitely room to optimize the seating space.
