    Don’t sleep on Suds monkey’s Pizza! Both the thin NY style and the Detroit stroke are both great. Honestly one of the better pizza in the greater dripping springs area. Great food, solid playground, good beers, and they always have fun events to keep everyone of all ages entertained. They also do a great job with their food specials throughout the week!

    We booked our rehersal and pre-wedding dinner here based on recommendations from friends without ever setting foot in the restaurant. We finally made it out to try before the actualy event and absolutely love the food and beer! Carter and Skip have been extremely transparent and easy to work with and their food is really well made and tasty. Skip and his team were extremely polite and courteous and even walked us through what to expect the day of our event. We are really happy with our booking and can NOT wait to come back and show our friends and family the amazing food and beers! Thank you Skip and Carter for everything! Look forward to seeing yall in February!

    Beer was good, but the selection was small, and two were sold out, which didn’t help. Super friendly staff with plenty of seating and games for the whole family. There was even a separate little kids play area. Bonus: they were serving made to order pizza, for FREE. Had great crispy crust that really hit the spot. Not sure how long that is going on, but hell yeah! For beer, I had the Punk Monkey (Porter) that was solid.

    I came to visit from California & wanted to try to find a good place to get some food/drinks. Found this place & all I can say is Andre is the BEST bartender I’ve ever had. It’s not even just the good drinks, it’s his personality. I have been working in this industry as well for 15 years & I can honestly say that Andre is the best service I’ve ever had. That’s huge. I just love when people are themselves & on top of everything & you don’t need to ask for anything or worry about anything. That’s what it’s all about. Thank you so much for your service Andre! I will be back to visit & you deserve everything & more. 20/10 !!!!

    Ordered food online before our arrival - Beverages from bar when we got there. Timely on completion and a very kind, friendly gal assisted with getting all of our items and also saying goodbye using our names when we left! We got a lot of food - the 12” GOAT, a Mediterranean panini, the Greek salad, kids chicken strips and the Nutella dessert! All fabulous (the salad is large!) The pineapple cider is refreshing- not too sweet! GREAT playscape for littles and seating right next to it for the adults! We’ll be back on our next trip to the area!

    Suds Monkey is just next to me and I have never been there. I ordered pizzas to go today, and the pizzas were awesome. I ordered both the Mustang and Superbird, and my favorite was definitely the superbird. It was delicious. I can't wait to try it on site and experience it first hand soon. There was a little wait for pickup as there was no one at the pickup window for a while.
