I ordered the shrimp & grits and it's been all I thought about since the first time I had it! The flavors blend beautifully and the grits are amazing! My daughter got their Stuffed French Toast (peaches & cream) with fresh fruit! Looked fantastic! We love the outdoor seating which allows us to bring the dog, but the indoor ambiance is wonderful! Highly recommend if you're in the area! We can't wait to go back!

Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more There are a few choices for breweries in Boone and Appalachian Mountain is a really good one. Mama and I each got a flight and we were both able to find one or two that made us want a full pint. They have a good variety of styles to pick from, so anyone should be able to find something that suits their taste. They have a generous amount of outdoor seating as well as a stage where they host live music. Dog friendly too, which is a big check in the box for us. Top it all off with a food truck that was open when we arrived early in the afternoon, and these guys offer the three things we most appreciate in a brewery - outdoor seating, food availability, and most importantly, good beer! 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable too. This is definitely a great place to visit.

My wife and I was were welcomed in by the hostess and seated quickly. It's not a huge space, but they've got a good bit of seating, and a little more upstairs, which allows you to look down into the brewery. Our server, Alex was very friendly and offered some beer recommendations based on our preference. They had a good variety to pick from and even some canned to go. Their food menu also offered a good selection. My wife and I decided to share an order of loaded fries to start, and then the "white buffalo" pizza. I enjoy white pizza, and enjoy buffalo chicken pizza...but this was the first time I've ever seen them together. The food was great, everything, tasted really good, and had good flavors. The Game Day IPA and Lost Province IPA's were both also very tasty Being a Friday night, they had a live musician, playing great music, which we really enjoyed while we ate and took in the atmosphere. I'd pass this recommendation on as well, and would return to try some of their other varried menu next time I visit Boone

Groceries and more. #1 u walk in to wine area and the on site beer area. Loved seeing customers…read moreshopping with a beer! Presentation is key for a food store. They have food demonstration, quick grab meals and heat n eat areas right near the front for customer convenience. The isles are wide and uncluttered with displays. Staff was visible helpful and friendly. My cashier was the only 1 without a smile but was still very friendly. A staff member even bagged all of my groceries and put them into my cart in an order to ease transfer to my trunk. The beer area has activities planned for every evening. The bartender(? Not sure if this is right term) is knowledgeable about the beers on tap. Recommend this store for every day needs as well as the bar activities!!

Love the selection, Lowe's to go (shoutout to Stephen, Caleb, et al) and the crew that works there!read more

They have a full bar with craft cocktails and creative seasonal cocktails. I've only tried their dinner menu but really enjoyed their mac & cheese (yes kid's menu because I eat like a child), Caesar salad and the charcuterie board (which has the most delicious maple-glazed bacon). All the servers were friendly and attentive but the drinks & food came out much slower than expected. Otherwise, this is definitely a good local hangout!

I ordered the bacon grilled cheese, and it was seriously delicious--the only thing I would have changed is that I personally would have loved the bacon a bit crispier. We also sampled three beers, all of which were great. The High Country Honey had a subtle sweetness with a light hazelnut note. The Hatchet Coffee Porter was smooth with a rich roasted coffee flavor. My favorite was the El Chupacabra, which had a smooth profile with prominent vanilla and chocolate flavors. The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming, and the prices were extremely reasonable. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it and am already looking forward to coming back.

Kids of all ages running wild with minimal supervision. My husband and I decided we'd have a beer and then head inside to grab food. Were told tables were first come first serve and order food at the bar. We found a spot, went to order at the bar and were told the kitchen was closed. It was 6pm. On a summer Saturday afternoon. Went back to the day care lawn because we were hungry, ordered a crappy burger and overdone cheese curds from the food truck. What a terrible experience. We will not ever be back.
