Evil Czech Brewery

Went while on vacation with a group of 14 people. We sat in the bar area and they were quick to accommodate us and make us feel welcome.
We ordered two different pizzas and they were both delicious! From what I could see other things on the menu were very reasonably priced.
There is also a wide variety of beer to choose from. We travel to Culver every year and will definitely be going back!

We really like the beer. The rye porter is great, so is the chamomile wheat. If you like IPA or APA, there are some good ones to choose from. They have farm to table food. The servers are very nice.

worth the drive we made from NW Indiana. I enjoyed the beer flight alot. It came on a cool wooden tray. Shaped like a boomerang. The merchandise area was on the weak side & expensive so we didn’t buy anything. The beer and food was reallyy good!

30^th bday dinner with my wife and 3 year-​old.
Bison head above as you walk in, wooden interior, good lighting — a good first impression.
Service: quick, professional, helpful, briefly told the story of the place. Lent my daughter a 24-​pack of Crayola crayons! Server gave us the wrong tab on accident — no big deal and she was apologetic.
Food: Wife thought kid’s mac ‘n’ cheese was not even as good as a box of Kraft. Fortunately, the 20″ salami-​goat cheese-​banana-​pepper style pizza was delicious and more than even for my wife and I. A little salty, but I like that. I had a Coffee Stout and it was a solid beer. Menu is limited, but that’s fine with me.
Value: At $ 20, the pizza was practically 3 meals — great value for an independent brewery. The appetizers and even burgers ($ 10 – 13) looked a little pricey for small town Indiana. +$ 3 to substitute bison meat was just above my threshold… maybe for a buck or two. However, if they are really sourcing everything local as they pitch, I’m okay with that. Pint was $ 5.50 I believe.
Bottom line: I would go again. Being frugal, I would watch what and how I ordered. But the quality and service is worth it. I’ll probably go get the beer sampler sometime.
Casually mentioned to the server that it was my bday and she came right out with a generously-​sized volcano of cake and ice cream with 3 spoons. Impressive!
Bonus: We drew prairie landscapes on the brown paper tablecloth then tore it off for a memento (which protected the permanent jute table covering underneath).

Great beer, food and service. Bartenders are well educated on the beers and willing to spend the time with first timers. Well worth the drive!

Went there with a party of 8 on a Sunday night for dinner around 6:30. Only a few tables were filled but you could tell there was a few big parties in there who had just left as most of the empty tables were not cleared. The waitress greeted me after 5 minutes of standing at the host stand and told me «you will have to wait» in a very flustered voice.
Finally we sat down. No waters for the table and not even silverware (we actually got our food before the silverware). I ordered a club soda with a lime and got a gin an tonic. When I told the server I wanted club soda, she said they only have Coke products and clearly had no idea what club soda was. Eventually she figured it out and brought me a club soda. We never got refills on our drinks unless we asked.
We had 2 kids with us (7 and 9) and were not offered a kids menu which apparently they do have. One of the kids asked for milk to drink and said they don’t have it. Really, you don’t cook anything with milk?
Food came and the server dumped the plate of chicken fingers and fries all over the table when it was set down. Half of us got our food and then the others had to wait. It didn’t really matter anyway as no one had silverware to eat their food. I needed mayo which was supposed to come with my burger and waited like 5 minutes for it. Someone ordered a salad and the dressing came out 10 minutes later as the chef had to make it. Wanted garlic aioli on the side and was on the burger. When asked for the aioli on the side, about 10 minutes later, the server brought some sort of red pepper spread. Not sure what that was all about.
Got the check and my gin and tonic was on the bill which I did not order in the first place. I asked the server to take it off and she said that was the charge for the club soda. I then said, my club soda was $ 5? She took back the check and took it off.
The server came back and apologized and said that she was new to the serving industry. I get it that everyone has a first day and is new to things but she seriously needed more training.
I gave the rating 2 stars as the food was pretty good but nothing I am dying to go back for. I have ate there before and service was nothing like this as this is why we went a second time. Unfortunately, there will not be a 3^rd time.

Good place to eat in Culver. I LOVED the «Horny Goat» burger. It has goat cheese, pico, and fried guacamole on it. Delicious! Good beer. My friend enjoyed her pizza too!

We had a great visit to the Evil Czech Brewery over the 4^th of July Holiday weekend! The beer selection was awesome, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Nick, who was working in the bar, was one of the nicest wait staff I have ever met. He was really helpful with our selections — just a really, nice, great guy! I highly recommend this place if visiting Culver, IN — you won’t be disappointed!

The beer is excellent. I cant believe Culver has the luck of having a brewery of this caliber. The double IPA rivals my favorites from Three Floyds or Le Castor (in Quebec). The spicy black IPA as well as the chamomile wheat beer are not only delicious but also unique and creative in ways that show their brewers talent for innovation without sacrificing balance, flavour, pleasure.
The food is quite good and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming.
If you’re looking for a spot to chill out with friends or have a relaxed family meal, I highly recommend this place. If you’re a beer fan, its worth traveling out of your way for.

Wonderful service. Best pizza we’ve had in a long time. All ingredients are fresh from a local farm. You could definitely taste the difference. Prices run about $ 15 a person & it’s well worth it. Menu is limited, but what they do offer is amazing! they offer a child’s menu upon request.
Enjoyed the beer sampler & we were surprisingly pleased with the dark ale’s.
This restaurant is one of my new favorites!

Had the pulled pork sandwich which is amazingly juicy an delicious an my son had the horn burger an he said it was tasty

I was disappointed with the beer.
The atmosphere is awesome and the food creativity is great.
Since this is a brewery with bad tasting beer I can’t give it a good rating.

Not open on Monday or Tuesday!
We drove over an hour for the awesome voodoo fish tacos. Unilocal and others say open… we couldn’t call since not open to 5pm. No open times on website either.
Sign on window says closed Monday and Tuesday! Bummed!
Still, awesome place, but verify their hours.

I had to order the pizza because I was intrigued by the spent grain crust. We home brew so this was research. Right. Pizza was great — I ordered Italian sausage and green pepper on mine. Toppings were plentiful and the peppers were fresh.
My husband ordered the yardbird Mac and cheese. At $ 18, it was overpriced for the quantity and quality. Sauce was worthy of a spoon rather than fork and the grilled chicken breast was waifish.
He ordered a flight of beers and enjoyed it, particularly the 7 am Oatmeal Stout. Six two-​ounce tasters for $ 5 was a nice deal.
I’d come back, but only for the pizza and beer.

First visit. Nice selection of beer. We had the ‘flight’ and tried 6 beers ($ 8). I had pizza and the crust was great but I could’ve used a few more toppings. I’ll definitely be enjoying the leftovers. Partner had a burger and it was perfectly cooked as requested. He said it was a bit greasy, but good. Burger came with homemade chips. We’ll be coming back.

The beer is great and reasonably priced. The Evil Czech pizza was ok (more meat would help). My girlfriend had the wings and they were ok. The soft pretzel and cheese dip apps were good, but measly. Overall… food was good, but not worth the cost. They could adjust a few things, like portion size and/​or price, and it would help greatly.

Beer is top notch for craft beer fans. Food is ok. Portabella fries are amazing. Wings are great. Pizza is great. Rest of the food is not good. Overpriced for one. Like another reviewed said the pepper jack Mac and cheese was more runny and not very cheesy. Their «evil» Mac and cheese isn’t anything special either. Also other than wings and pizza the menu is pretty limited. Also brought our 4 year old with us and he asked for milk to drink and they told us they had no milk. So how are they making Mac and cheese without milk? Also the didn’t tell us about any kids menu until we asked if we could order a half portion of a dish and then our server said «oh we have a kids menu» and then listed 3 options but never gave us a printed menu. Also the kids Mac and cheese was not very good and didn’t come with any sides like a veggie or fruit option.

Great spot for a few beers, the Caramel Apple Cider was delicious and I also sampled my friend’s Bourbon Vanilla somethingorother. I generally don’t like dark beers, but that one stood out for me.
Unfortunately, the food sucks. My husband tried to order the buffalo burger, but we were told that their «buffao meat guy had some problems with his hogs to tend to and has been slacking,» or something like that. The only burger available that night was their angus burger. The menu is pretty small as well.
A group of 4 of us ordered the following:
–Pretzel sticks with cheese «fondue»
For $ 5, we got 2 pieces of semi-​cold pretzel bread. The fonude dip was just OK.

–Pepperjack Mac
For $ 13, this was described as, «the same as our regular mac, but with pepperjack cheese and crushed chili Fritos on top.» What I received was a portion size for a child (similar to a small at Noodles & Co), and there wasn’t any actual CHEESE in this. It was a milky-​sauce that was so spicy it hurt my insides.
–16 wings Asian-​style
BIG wings. Slathered in sauce. So much sauce that my husband was scraping it off. It looked like velveeta, but had a good flavor/​spice to it. However, he only ate about ½ of these and threw out the leftovers.
–16 wings buffalo-​style
A friend tolerant of spice looked like he was dying while eating these. He also ate just over ½ of these and threw out the leftovers.
–cider glazed salmon
For $ 18, it came with sweet potato fries and a beer. A lot of the dishes were served with a beer like a combo, but not all of them. I heard the salmon was «good.»
This place is overpriced. All of the dishes should have been about $ 5 less than what they were. I’ve had better macaroni out of a box. If we ever go back, we agreed we’d probably get a pizza and just some beers. But that’s a big «IF»

Let me start with this — I saw a meal come out of the kitchen that was served with a sword stuck through it. It’s hard to get more awesome than that.
What I had was the pizza, which was very very good. We got one with mushrooms, garlic and goat cheese — all the ingredients were fresh and flavorful, no canned mushrooms here. As Jason B. notes, the crusts are made with the spent grain from the brew process, which makes for a very tasty crust. They also made a cheese-​less vegan pizza for my parents, which they really enjoyed as well!
The beer here was quite good, and they brew a wide variety. For $ 5 you can get the sample board (which is what we did) and give them all a try.
This was the perfect end to a day out on the lake.

Spent a hot day out on Lake Maxinkuckee? Stressed out because all of the Culver locals that live on the lake are rude? (not all of culver, just the ones that live on the lake)
Well then you need some beer and pizza in you friend!
Evil Czech is pretty new, has lots of space, and is delicious. Prices are competitive despite being the only brewpub that I know of in culver.
Pizza crusts are made with the spent grain from brewing which is pretty awesome. Then there’s the beer. A lot of start up places will play it cool like the Fonze and brew beers that are standard and that they know people will like. I think Evil Czech has one of those beers. But the other 8 beers on tap are far from standard. This is a refreshing realization.
They make some speciality beers and they make them well. Their beers go the full range of color, style, and body.
Highly recommended if you’ve spent the day on the lake, are driving through Culver, or just want to take a small trip to a new brewery.
