First of all, ignore the menus on Yelp. They are 3 years old and inaccurate. No more Southerner or Poutine . Which is the whole reason we chose this place. But we got over it and ordered the pretzel bites and split the Chicken sandwich. Both were amazing! Great beer and a surprisingly awesome Bloody Mary. read more

My fiancé and I came up to blowing rock for the day and hiked with our day, after we found ourselves here and was really happy with it! The staff were very friendly and wore masks. We sat out with our dog and they even brought her ice cold water in a big bowl. The food was good! Home made potato chips were bomb. I think the menu was shortened but the food was still great. My fiancé got the burger, said it was really juicy. I had the portobello melt and the flavor was great! I also got a canned hard apple cider and that was good too! The place itself is really cool, and clean. read more

Superb staff, great food, fun environment! Really appreciate the hostesses and servers. They absolutely made this experience amazing. From the first impression to paying the bill, as well as the brews to the food, it was stellar. We will definitely return. read more

Great food, good beer (4 IPA's!) and family friendly! As of June 2023, they use canola oil in case anyone has nut or soy allergies. Everyone was super welcoming and nice to our family who was passing through from California. We recommend and hope to be back one day! read more

They need to take "take out available" off of yelp and advertising. Walked into night, not that busy but steady. The hostess stated they weren't doing take-out tonight when in inquired. She said the kitchen didn't feel like taking the order. What a joke! read more

Blowing Rock Brewing - Fried chicken sandwich and homemade fries - Breweries Near Me - Blowing Rock, North Carolina

Food was fantastic. Best veggie burger I've ever eaten. My husband is super picky with wings but loved theirs!

We had a wonderful experience here at the blowing rock brewery. The ambience was wonderful, the servers were friendly and it was as cozy as snuggling in some warm mountain cabin. The beer on tap is limited but they do cover different ipa, ale, stout but lager was out of menu when we visited so lager lovers try some of their light ipa or blonde ale. The food is very satisfying, no complaints however there is no side option for fries which was not a problem for us as the home baked chips were truly amazing. I tried the Bison Burger and it was a perfect 9. Some of the best Burgers tend to get messy due to their sauce chemistry with the bread but these burgers were full of taste and not messy at all. I guess the bison did the job of adding all the flavors so Kudos to that burger. Also got an opportunity to take a bite outta the chicken burger, my wife ordered and no compromise on the taste either. Some wings we tried were dope like the lemon pepper a must try wings and the buffalo was good but i like the buffalo wings from anywhere. Try their hummus pita, i am not sure if they prepare the hummus in house but tasted different in a good-way. Now the guest item, BEER. Try their stout if you love them dark ale. I was very impressed with the flavor and how rich it was in every sip, the rich foamy texture which made every sip from Nectar of Eden. I would definitely be stopping here next time i visit Blowing Rock city and would love if they could add some fries in their list and also lager on the tap. Sometimes burger don't feel right without Fries. read more

Excellent service, food and beer. One of our favorite places in this lovely little town.

Shrimp tacos were delicious! The hubs says the Chicken sandwich was dynamite. So good! Highly recommend.

The MAIN thing that makes this location so good is the service, The food is good but the SERVICE and bar staff are some of the most friendly and kind anywhere in blowing rock. This is the one location that has never let us down and always been rock solid in SERVICE. Other places could learn a lot from the staff here. read more

We were in Blowing Rock for a girls weekend and decided to try Blowing Rock Brewing for dinner on Saturday night. We were not disappointed. We could have timed it a little better though- when we got there there was an hour wait for the four of us. The waiting and bar area were very crowded, and a little too cold to hang out outside. Thankfully our table was ready in less than 45 minutes! 3 out of the 4 of us got the bison burger. Delicious! One of us got the green beans, one got fries, and I got the sweet potato mash for our sides. I think I liked my sweet potatoes even better than I liked my burger, and I really liked my burger. If you aren't getting beer, the drinks are a little overpriced. Our server was wonderful. Even though it was very busy she answered our questions and was very friendly. We all had a great meal and a great time and will be back next time we are in town. read more

We stopped here while we were waiting for a table for dinner - we are so happy we did! We went to the bar in the back and ordered a few beers and their pretzels. We found a new favorite spot. The beers were great, and the pretzels tasted really good, too! (We didn't sit inside or go inside). It was the perfect to grab a quick beer (and a snack), with the cool fall weather. We will be back, for sure. read more

Great beer. Good food and nice service. Off of Main Street, the blowing rock brewery was a welcome place. The staff was nice and the out door seating was terrific. The apps are good value and the food was liked by all. Recommended both as a brew pub and as a good place for lunch. read more

Blowing Rock Brewing - a bar with a large screen tv - Breweries Near Me - Blowing Rock, North Carolina

Delicious beer and delicious food, served quickly and with cheerful smile. Definitely worth stopping in for a bite to eat and a beer to drink. I ordered the Carolina Bison burger along with the bison chili, and washed it down with a pint of the Big Chocolate Porter. The burger, chili, and beer were awesome. The burger was cooked to the temperature that I requested, and was juicy and tasty; the chili had a nice flavor and enough spiciness, but didn't sear my tastebuds; the porter was a nice pairing with the bison, and given the cold, damp, and foggy weather outside, definitely warmed me up. Definitely will stop in again the next time I'm in Blowing Rock. read more

Always amazing our go to place for a burger or chicken sandwich. So much better than the other sports bar!!

Cannot say enough about this place. They're amazing. Great beer, great service, great food. Waitress Katie is the bomb. She remembered our drink order after only one visit and is super attentive. Love this place and the atmosphere. read more

Order wings. They came so crispy and dry that I couldnt even eat them. Instead of apologizing and removing it from my bill, I was "told" ( because the manager didnt feel it important enough to come out personally) that they will take "1/2" off my bill AND.. if I wanted to order anything else it will be "full price". Very disappointed. read more

We just stopped in for a flight as we had already eaten. They have several tables outside in front that were filled, so we opted to sit in the tiny bar area. As it rained soon after we arrived, we agreed that we chose right. The flight was reasonable at about $10 for 5. The Scottish Ale was my fav. There is a garden area off the dining area and the brew pub is out back. The food coming out of the kitchen looked good, the place was pretty packed. It feels like an old inn with not enough seating for the masses but all in all, we enjoyed. read more

Fantastic little place located just a short walk off the main drag in BR. It's a brewpub, a restaurant and an inn. When you walk in the front door, turn left into the little lounge area (where they will serve drinks, but not food it seems), then turn right to see the host station. There's a five-seat bar plus a dining floor with about a dozen or so tables, plus an eight-seat copper-topped communal table in the center of the room. They have a big-screen TV in the dining area and smaller screens in the bar. The overall feel is cozy--there's a little garden off the dining area, but if it continues to be as popular as it seems it is now, they may want to knock the wall out and expand the dining area. The menu is terrific, with over a dozen choices. We sampled the bison burger (with potato bun, grilled onions, mozzarella and charred tomato jam) and it was delicious, obviously fresh with a hand-formed patty and great flavor from the accompaniments. Also had the ham sandwich, which comes with delicious thick-cut ham and rich flavor. We saw the venison meatloaf at the next table and it looked like a winner (to be tried on the next visit) and the mussels dish looked appealing as well. The fries came in their own little wire basket mimicking a kitchen fryer and were thin-cut and perfectly browned and crisped in a reasonable portion--not too small, but not too artery-defying either. They house-make their own ketchup and mustard as well. The mustard was a thing of beauty and deliciousness, rich with seeds and Dijon flavor and enough heat to make you sit up and take notice. Wow. Service is smooth and efficient and the house brews we tried (the legacy IPA and the double IPA) were fantastic. The beer menu runs the gamut of types as well and there were several things on there I still want to try. There's enough variety and creativity on the menus (and quality in the execution) to make me think I could make several happy trips here and not have the same thing twice. read more

Well, that was the best BLT I've ever had. Seriously. But back to the beginning. We went to Blowing Rock Brewing Co. for an early dinner one May evening. This place is a real treat - great beer and food, and fast and friendly service. We started with the pretzels, served with spicy mustard and beer cheese. The pretzels were freshly made, hot, and crispy. My husband and I both preferred the mustard over the cheese. For our entrees, I had the previously mentioned BLT, and my husband had the bison burger. The burger was a perfectly cooked medium-rare, and the BLT was out-of-this-world delicious. I've never had a BLT with pimento cheese, but their homemade version was a real treat. And the combination of thick bacon and fried green tomatoes on top of buttered, toasted sourdough bread made this sandwich truly outstanding. I'm not a beer drinker, but I enjoyed their bottled pear cider. My husband thoroughly enjoyed their beer made fresh in the brewery right behind the restaurant. I expect Blowing Rock Brewing Co. gets very crowded on weekends, so I'm glad we skipped the crowds. We'll definitely be back! read more

Fun place to walk around inside and outside! We chose to sit outside so that our toddler could explore a bit while we waited for the food. There were a few other families eating at the huge wooden picnic table outside as well. My husband got the Carolina bison burger which comes with tomato jam, mozzarella, bacon, and grilled onions $16. We swapped out the fries for a side salad. It was tasty, but forgettable. I ordered the Brisket tacos with salsa, cheddar cheese, and pickled red onion with pasta salad. The pasta salad blew me out of the water! It was slightly spicy and flavored well. I enjoyed my brisket tacos but I only wish there were more of it, portionwise. Great service, decent food and the beer options look interesting! read more

This place has a great selection of seating and service. You can sit in the front, inside, the side, or the back. You can also just go around the back to pick up beer or fill a growler. The hostess was so nice to us. She found the perfect seats on the front porch overlooking the front yard of the restaurant, the sidewalk and the street, so we had the perfect people-watching spot. The weather was perfect as well, which contributed to our good time. My wife and I each had one of their own locally brewed beers and we split a burger with house made chips. The burger was perfect too. (Have I used the word 'perfect' enough?) We hung out out for awhile on the porch (no pressure from staff to go) and enjoyed the whole experience. Definitely a place we would return to when visiting the area. It's also conveniently located in downtown Blowing Rock. read more

My husband and I visited Blowing Rock while on the way to Appalachian State. We chose this restaurant based upon Yelp reviews It's cozy! Nice place to catch the latest on TV for sports in the bar area. There are ceiling fans, wood ceilings...really neat atmosphere! Service was actually quite good. Waitress (Parker) was at our table within a couple minutes of arriving. She gave us the specials, the beers that were available, very helpful. Based upon reviews, we ordered the Bison burger with fries and the fried chicken sandwich with the Quinoa side. The chicken sandwich wins, hands down. The crunch of the cole slaw, the cheese, etc made this a sandwich to remember. The quinoa salad was just ok ((missing a sweet or tart 'pop', kinda bland). The bison burger was good but overcooked; our bacon was even burnt. If this is the speciality of the house, attention owner, need some QA here. Lastly the fried were grease laden and soggy. Pictures included! All up with two drinks each the bill was $55.. Honestly amazing deal here, so ended on a happy note. read more

Lunch at the Ale House was disappointing. My husband and I ordered Hummus with Flatbread, Celery and Carrots and an entree of the Arugula Salad with grilled chicken. The entree, that was very good, arrived before the starter and the hummus was served with the carrots and celery in the photo. Now, I have forgotten pre-sliced carrots in my fridge for several weeks and they looked like these. The celery was dried up at the ends as if it were cut several days before. Any restaurant that serves items like these, that should have been binned weeks ago is a disgrace. We complained to our ineffective waiter who did nothing. We should not have to ask to have items to be removed from the check and we should have had a visit from the manager to apologise. We will not eat here again read more

We always have a great time at this place. Their beer is very good and they have a great atmosphere. There is outdoor seating on the front, side, and rear. If you just want a beer, you can order one and sit at the back patio without having to see the host. There is nice seating and decor inside as well. Their food menu is more limited with few vegetarian options. Their ale house burger, salad, and cheese curds were very good. Our server was super nice. read more

Burgers were overpriced, we asked to sit outside at one of the open tables but were told no as jt might rain later. Our server was pleasant but brought us no utensils or napkins and we never got a refill on drinks. Oddly, sweet tea is served in a bottle and soda in a can so you pay per drink. I do not recommend. read more

The chicken sandwich is phenomenal, as were the chips. The service (Sophie?) was great as well. All the staff were very pleasant. It was a great meal after a long day driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. read more
