Fields & Ivy Brewery - Lawrence, Kansas

Not my favorite brewery in town, but they have some good deals Wed-Fri (core beers are $4). They make an excellent porter that I recommend (one of the only places in town that actually make an excellent porter). Their food, especially their pizza, is delicious. Great outdoor patio in the back during the summer, where you can play 4-square, corn hole (bags), etc. It’s a good time and way to spend an evening with good friends.

this is for the food only: the pizza was very disappointing, especially for the price. the ingredients used tasted like they used canned pizza sauce and the cheese was rubbery. the service took forever too. although, the chicken sandwich was very good. overall, it was absurdly expensive for what it is.

This used to be my favorite place in town, I would go here for my birthday and other celebrations because it was always so good, however the last two times I went it was so bad, I’m not sure I’ll ever go back.
I loved their Sausage and Pesto pizza but they took it off the menu and they don’t have pesto anymore so I can’t even make it via the Build Your Own option. Also it seems they have changed their pizza crust, it was hard and crunchy and not it a good thin crust way - very bland also.
I liked their Lemon Hello beer a lot last year but it seemed sweeter when they brought it back this summer.
Their pretzels and cheese are still one of my favorite but it’s not worth going just for that now that the pizza quality has changed.

First visit for a meal. We came in about 1 PM and there were only a handful of other patrons. Service was slow but friendly enough. The real disappointment was the food! Hubby ordered fish and chips and received what looked like a couple of cheap frozen fish pieces (the chopped kind, like fish sticks but bigger), a handful of fries and some cole slaw, which he passed over to me. I ordered the Fun Guy pizza. The crust was decent. Sauce tasted like bland, bottled Alfredo sauce. It is advertised as a pizza with mushrooms. I got what appeared to be a single sliced mushroom spread across the entire 9" pie. I asked how spicy the spiced chicken was. I needn't have worried as it had no discernable seasoning. It was also dry. Oh, and the "vinegar' slaw? It was a bowl of un-dressed cole slaw mix. The kind you buy at Walmart by the bag. Dry and no flavor beyond the cabbage.

I had been here for an event in the evening last week and heard people in my group raving about the food. But after spending $40 for lunch including tip and iced tea for both of us, I probably won't be back. Disappointing because the atmosphere is pretty neat, even if you aren't a beer head.

A really nice spot, but for the third time in a row, out of a beer or beers on the tap menu. Food, as usual was really good, especially the pretzels, but concerning that the server had no idea about the beer other than if it was available.

Starting with the pros, the beer was pretty good, the atmosphere was unique and the staff were friendly. However the price was totally unreasonable for the quality of food. The pizzas lacked flavor (mainly in the sauce and crust) and the cost of the other menu items were much higher than I would ever pay (fries are $10!!!!!). When we went in we were the only ones in there and our food took longer than I was expecting. Overall I would say it's something new to try, but I will personally never be going back.

I've never had any previous issues with F&I, but the sweet potato fries were a major let down tonight for the 11+ dollar range. Tried two fries and then then tossed the full basket. They were soggy/wimpy--zero structure and little flavor. I'd be willing to try Fields & Ivy again assuming I just caught them on an off-night, but I'd be super reluctant to order and pay for their sweet potato fries again. I don't want to chance getting something bland and mushy that I could produce myself with my subpar kitchen skills. Please do better, as that's why I go to you to begin with.

Certainly would enjoy a return visit great food and atmosphere. There was a little boy eating flowers in their garden area. He also drank out of one of the planters. It was highly entertaining. Don’t know that there was much to do with the actual Fields and Ivy folks that made it entertaining, but there were some parents who decided they didn’t want to watch their kids or take responsibility for them running wild in the place.
