Lost Worlds Brewing Company

Was very excited to come here last night with the husband. We are new to the area and wanted to find a yummy place where we could reliably enjoy our Friday nights. I ordered wings and he a burger with fries. Right off the bat I was put off by the presentation of the food. Served in what is clearly the cheapest styrofoam and paper basket they could find. The burger was hideous. The patty tasted worse than those frozen hamburgers at Costco. It was the lowest effort I have ever seen put into a dish. For the $15 we spent on the burger my husband would’ve been happier spending half of that at the cookout next door. The wings were smokey (as advertised by the waitress) but somehow still dry. The $5 fries were below average crinkle cuts. They charged us an additional 50¢ for a nearly empty cup of sauce that came with a melted lid. Don’t even get me started on the beer. My husband is an avid beer drinker so our main reasons for coming to these places are the brews. The IPAs he had were so mediocre. Stout was undrinkable. I have never seen my husband look so disgusted while trying a new drink. It’s clear the brewer doesn’t understand beer beyond light lagers. This place clearly focused on style over substance. Giving two stars only for the ambiance and the live music.

There's an interesting mix of beer with a well shrubberied patio. On Monday 2:30 pm it wasn't much of a hotspot but I enjoyed my time. If you like chewy beer, their obsidian chocolate cake variant was, well, alot. If you like a statement of an imperial stout, it's a great choice. I chose their Vista west coast for my patio beer which is featured in my pic. I'll be back...

First, the food was excellent. We were there for $1 wing night, and trust, these are some of the best smoked wings I have ever had. My only complaint is that you order sauces, and the wings don’t come sauced, you have to dip the wings in the sauce, which is awkward to eat, especially if sharing, so make sure you ask for individual sauces. We also ordered the hotdog for our daughter, it comes with fries, but they happily substituted it for Mac & cheese, which was good as well. If I was an adult ordering this Mac & Cheese, it could easily be elevated if they added a crispy cheese and bread crumb top layer. Second, I went to a brewery and felt compelled to talk about the food first, so that is why it is a 4 star and not a 5 star. The beer was okay, but the wonkiness of the service and the absolutely uncomfortable low top chairs, made this a place not top of the list for breweries in the area. I am not surprised by counter service only at a brewery, but I am surprised when I visit a brewery with a restaurant menu then for them to only provide counter service. Once you get your food, counter service makes it inconvenient having to walk away from your party and food to wait in a line at the counter to order your next beer. They need to have a digital solution, where you can order beers through an app, or have someone that walks around and clears glasses and asks if the table needs anymore beer. I was really impressed that the chef came out of the kitchen to ask us about our meal and gave us some insight on the menu and how the food is prepared. Now imagine if the brewery had someone walking around talking to guests and informing them of the beer options, flavors, and upcoming seasonal batches. What a difference that would have made. But also, those low top table chairs are garbage, I cannot stress that enough. Will we come back to Lost Worlds? maybe…, those wings were so darn good, and now I want to try other menu items. Ps. We have a 5 year old, so simply moving to a high top table for comfort is not a great option.

My wife and I were at the Christmas Market on Sunday, 12/21 at the Cornelius location. Once again, Lost Worlds hit it out of the ball park. The brewery was a bit crowded although that didn't effect the impeccable customer service. All of the servers were prompt, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable about each beer being served. The beer selection was phenomenal. The Brewers certainly understand flavor and creation of Lost Worlds beer. I enjoy all dark beer, especially stouts and Porters. On this occasion, I had the German Chocolate Cake and Hansa Bock. Both were OUTSTANDING. I certainly can understand how the Chocolate Cake received GABF awards. Such detailed flavor that all meshed well. The entertainment selected was very good. Both singers performed well and the music they chose was consistent with what I believe the audience liked. The brewery was very clean and the atmosphere was great. I've been to a number of breweries in the Charlotte Metro and I submit that Lost Worlds is one of the top five. If you want to visit a brewery with outstanding customer service, excellent beer and a very good atmosphere, I highly recommend Lost Worlds Brewery.

We hosted our daughter’s first birthday at Lost Worlds Brewing, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The team was incredibly flexible and easy to work with during the planning process, which made everything stress free for us parents. The staff was kind, helpful, and accommodating throughout the event, and the private space was absolutely perfect for a small celebration—plenty of room, great setup, and a fun atmosphere for both adults and kids. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to celebrate. Highly recommend Lost Worlds Brewing to anyone looking to rent a private space for an event.
