From the kitchen
Burgers, pizza, and chicken sandwiches
Jam on a burger? Yup. Pineapple on pizza? Only if you also add in some sweet chili sauce as the base. A chicken sandwich with dill pickles, home made street corn sauce, and honeybutter? Sounds weird enough for us! We also have a plain burger on the menu, but you would be doing yourself a disservice if that is what you come here to order.
A toasted brioche bun, quarter-pound seasoned patty, Swiss cheese, goat cheese crumbles, blackberry jam, bacon, and caramelized onions. Our top selling burger. Your new favorite.
Blackberry Bam-A-Lam Burger
Honey butter on a toasted oversized brioche bun, house-made Chihuahua street-corn sauce, pepper jack cheese, thick bacon, and pickle chips on a jumbo fried chicken breast.
Krazy Chicken
We build this one starting with our beer crust, sweet chili sauce base, house pizza cheese blend, grilled chicken, caramelized onion, and large juicy chunks of pineapple. This is the pizza you have been waiting for.

Bringing people together
Nights out, from a pint to a show
When you come to Presidential, you are going to have a great time. It’s what we do. We build nights where a bad putt gets a cheer, a show gets strangers singing, and you leave with a friend you did not walk in with.
Did you get a great photo during your visit? We would love to feature it here! Send it our way and you might end up on the board.

How’d Presidential treat you the other night?
Probably some of the best food we've ever had. Everything came out fast, hot and fresh. Pretzel and beer cheese was excellent, Burger was phenomenal, but the pepperoni pizza was the star of the show. 10/10 experience. Cant wait to come back!

We’ve been going to Presidential Brewing Company for a while now (My mom loves it), and it’s always a fantastic time! The food never misses, and the drink menu is an absolute riot. The drinks are named after US presidents with hilarious little sayings attached to them, which makes ordering way more fun than your average brewery. We recently went out there to catch an outdoor band performance (5 Dollar Cover Charge – can pay at bar if you're not carrying cash) and had a great time, We even squeezed in a round of mini-golf while we were there. Seriously, how many breweries let you sip a cleverly named drink while working on your short game? A quick pro-tip if you're planning to check it out – if you're going for a live music night or a big event, definitely bring your own folding chair! It can get fairly busy and seating fills up fast. But honestly, a packed house is just proof of how great this spot is. Do yourself a favor, open a tab, set up your chair, and just enjoy a fun night out!
