First time visiting on March 1st, 2024. Wonderful experience, great vibe, awesome customer service, and enjoyable food and beer. I tried the Russian Imperial Stout and it was lovely, dark and strong with an apple aftertaste. The pretzel had beer cheese and mustard to dip and both dips were fantastic! The bartender/server was friendly, kind, and helpful. We chatted a bit and she helped guide me toward a future order. I will definitely return to try the hard ciders, beer flights, and spirits, all made in house. I picked up a half dozen of fresh apple donuts on my way out.. definitely strongly recommend!

Charming establishment with lots of homemade spirits and other "farm like" products. The ladies there were very sweet and made us feel welcome.However, it's doubtful we will return for the food. The brisket nachos were very difficult to maneuver thru. It seemed like the kitchen just dumped "sandwich toppings" on top. Huge chunks of onion, leaf like lettuce, and the cheese was microwaved to the deli paper that it was served on. For being a $17 starter, it was a complete disappointment. We did mention this to our server. She brought out 2 cups of diced onions in the attempt to correct the kitchen mistake.The BBQ brisket sandwich was very flavorful but, as with everything else on the menu, it was definitely overpriced. Even the burgers ran between $15-$18.

Just discovered this place and it was an amazing experience. The hostess Vicky was a delight to talk to and very genuine. I highly recommend the brisket pot pie, and if you like hard cider, I thought that the Bourbon Barrel Cider was very, very good 👌. Next I would suggest the Honey Crisp Apple Cider. All of them are very good, but those two were my Favorite. Very bright and open atmosphere with good vibes. Will be back for sure!!

So the food was great we ordered a pizza and it was delicious..but the service was terrible...first of all we ordered diet cokes and she never brought it..I had to go up to her at the counter and as again and she said sorry she forgot. Then we ordered pepperoni on half of it because my wife can't eat it..and of course she forgot to tell the cook so it came out with pepperoni over the whole thing..whatever my wife just picked them off...and forget about the waitress coming back to ask if we wanted refills or anything..that didn't happen...honestly they weren't that busy when we were there we observed our waitress chatting forever with a guy at the bar while we were wondering if we were ever going to get our drinks or not...I normally don't leave bad reviews but this service was pretty terrible when it didnt really need to be like this...its too bad because looked like they had good drink menu and the food was good

I'll be honest, the food can be hit and miss. There seemed to be a rough patch where they didn't have a decent chef or something and it was pretty bad and low quality...I don't know what happened. But when we went again last week it was back to being top notch and excellent quality meat. They also have donuts now which are literally the best I've had in Michiana. 100% worth going for the donuts alone! Beer and cider are generally good/ok. Fresh apple cider is excellent.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available. Kids menu.

A very nice visit to Lehman’s Brewery & Farmhouse as part of a large group. Lots of great products and spaces in this former industrial building. Plenty of local food available including vinegar, syrup, jam, and adult beverages. Was underwhelmed by the food, but that may be due to what the group ordered for everyone. Staff is friendly and attentive.

A must in Buchanan! We live in Detroit and were visiting family at Gustavsen’s cafe, and saw Lehman’s on our way. We stopped in and were pleasantly surprised! I had two glasses - Vignole and Unoaked Chardonnay - both were on par with the more “well known” wineries in the area, and were amazingly refreshing in the summer months. My husband had their wine tasting of 4 times which he enjoyed. Cannot recommend this place enough! We can’t wait to come back!

Everything was pretty good minus the nachos. The nachos didn't have much on there at all but little to no meat, a bunch of green leaves and a few onions... kinda looks like it was just thrown together without care...Wasn't impressed by those at all. But the burger and ruben was pretty delicious. I drank the honey crisp cider and that was delicious. My fiance had the blonde ale and he was given the last of it before the keg blew, so that was pretty bitter and cloudy. Overall, I enjoyed our experience. The server was funny, and very nice...she used the term " boom shakalaka" when handing us our order lol.

What a pleasant surprise. We stopped by because we thought this was simply a brewery with food available. Not only do they brew beer, but they also have hard cider as well as wine that they make. Food is outstanding. I had the Reuben sandwich and my wife had the brisket sandwich. Mindy was as friendly as could be, and incredibly attentive, even though she was taken care of every table. Plan on definitely returning.

I thought the food was ok. My brisket sandwich was pretty good. Pizza was fine. It's more of a place to go for an adventure in brew beers, than food, I think. The Honey Crisp beer was really good. Atmosphere is very nice. It's still early in the, "after covid recovery", to truly see what eatery's and pubs are like. My guess is; this is a very cool place to get together with friends for an evening out. Food could use a little bit of improvement and it will be a 5 star place. I'd go back.

Excellent experience! Food is absolutely incredible and wait staff is super nice. Only had one of their Ciders but was super impressed.If your ever near South Bend or Niles, make the trip.

There is a HUGE opportunity for this place to go above and beyond the local rural bewhouse, considering the number of people coming to their orchard first and stepping by to eat on the way back. However, there is a ton of things to be changed.First of all, when you come in, you get to their merchandise store, with NOT A SINGLE PERSON AROUND, and God know how I found the door that took me to the dining area.Second, I picked the table in the middle of the hall, and I think it didn't belong to any of their server's areas. Bossy lady (she acted as a manager or an owner later on) was serving an empty table right in front of us, just ignoring us sitting next to her for 20 minutes. Finally, I took the menu off that table myself and choose what to order, but nobody was still around. In a little bit, a bartender guy noticed us and started serving... He was super nice, but that was still weird.After that, the food has been brought, and to be honest it was quite legit. We also got some ciders and they were great too.I can say, there is a potential here, and someone did include his soul into the project, but others did not finish the job.The other drawback is an interior, it looks like it was all made back in the 60's, but no, it isn't authentic, its just outdated!! C'mon, work on it, invest some and the returns won't take long!! People will really appreciate homemade everything in nice atmosphere!As a brief conclusion, entrance and interior deducted the star each, and the lack of service by everyone (BUT that bartender dude, he was great) got the third one.

I had the brisket and my husband had a wrap. Best brisket I think I've ever had, definitely give it a try! We also shared a flight of ciders which were also very good. Like some others have stated, for the price, you should also get a side but .. that seems like the way things are anymore.

Great place. Nice people. Lots of goods, wines, etc. The restaurant was nice. Pulled pork sandwich was really abnormally good.

First time visitors, Saturday night. We decided to stop because the parking lot was fairly empty.We were not greeted. When I asked for a menu the host rolled her eyes as she threw me one. She seemed annoyed and there were TWO tables. She did not ask if we wanted a seat or a drink or anything. We intended to get a couple ciders while we looked at menu/made a takeout order. Other server was busy dealing with a bridesmaid group (with flights and tiaras and all) so we knew it would be dumb to try to bother her.We bothered our host again. We never got a drink menu, so we looked at the food menu and figured out what we might want while she grudgingly poured ciders.We ordered. We finished drinks. Food came out in boxes. We were asked to pay by the other server who never even seemed to notice us. We did not investigate the food, it smelled good and we needed to get out of that weird atmosphere.We opened the boxes when we got home. The salad we ate immediately, and it was great! Really. The 'Italian' dressing must be from a bucket, but it was ok. The pizzas we picked were the Apple Bacon Cheddar and the Margherita...SO. Let's say first that the crust was awesome. Sturdy, perfectly cooked, great taste. The cheese content of each was also just right. Here's where I have an issue: aside from the fact that nobody seems to care if we will come back or not, the menu should reflect how the pizza will be made, right?A Margherita Pizza, whether or not fancy or proper, has basil on it. Your menu says so. If you are out of basil and decide to sneak some watercress on there instead, you should probably tell us. Or the kitchen thinks anything green qualifies as basil, which I can't believe.Apple bacon cheddar pizza, on your menu, says only that. Sounds great. It doesn't say RED SAUCE. If it had, I would've asked to leave it off. It was weird and overpowered any other flavor. We probably would've liked the apples, even though they look weird and are way too chunky for the size of these slices. Oh and we added onions- because we like them- but it seemed like they were just thrown on the top at the end and left to sit.In conclusion: it's been a rough couple years, we know. But you guys really need to step it up in service and correct orders or you won't have repeat customers. There are not a lot of places around here that have the potential you have... and we are willing to give you a chance so I hope next time is better.

Behind a factory facade is a brewery, distillery and best reason is a kitchen with a brisket nacho that is worth the stop in Wine Country. And then there’s the kitchen with carrot cake desert. And if that doesn’t pair with a Brown Ale you have been in Wine Country too long.

Soup was good, service was nice. Beer was lackluster, IPAs are sweet, which was weird. Beer cheese was not good, and nachos were chips with quartered tomatoes, whole lettuce, and fatty brisket on top. The veggies were good but not really a great culinary experience. Order the wine or cider and stick with the soup or salad.

So.... it was the nicest day of the year. We were first in and ordered a pizza. It took about 20 to 25 minutes, we aren't worried about it pizza takes time. It comes out completely lopsided bread all on one side. She did offer to remake it but we were on a time crunch. The parts of it that weren't garlic bread like was fine.The cider was all good and the beer was good. I will give it another shot assuming it was a bad day.

Not bad just not that good, probably better in the fall at harvest time, I'm an IPA snob and I just didn't taste the mosaic hops in my beer, wife got a Scottish ale that tasted like a sour.

My husband and I just held our reception at Lehman's and the service was incredible. Debra graciously answered my many questions and helped make the planning process simple, even from afar. The food was tasty and the bartender even created a signature cocktail for us to serve, per our request. We cannot wait to come back every year and bring home a fresh bottle of their house-made wine to celebrate!(Photo by Maria Lewis Photography)

We always have a great time. This time we went snow shoeing first. When finished we ended our day with some cider and a hot 🔥 toddy. This is a chicken bacon ranch. It is always amazing, and the beverage is a honeycrisp cider.

Cute place to have a drink and eat a bite. Had the pretzel and beer cheese. It was meh…. The blonde beer was good though. Wife enjoyed the plumb wine. Server was great. They are short staffed so there were no flights available. All in all a nice little place.
