Weekday drop in on way back to Shenandoah. The place is hige in and out. The menu has a good mix of favorites. I had a smash burger with shrooms and cheese and it was so juicy and tasty, really great. Wifey ordered the fish tacos and our waiter told us people come just for those tacos. He was right. Lots of meaty fish, cooked well and seasoned with the salsa so well. And we had the Dark Hollow and other Hollow beers which were flavorful. Have to also shout out our waiter who was kind, humorous and quick. Wish you all would open a place up here near Philly. read more

Excellent blue ridge brewery with large and comfortable outside eating area. There is an inside but unless it's raining why miss the view. Excellent beer, as expected, and a style for every palate Service is surprisingly fast for such large place. Great experience. read more

In a time when breweries are closing down, and younger generations really don't enjoy the same beer halls their parents dragged them out to, this place is thriving. We tried the Afton location, which is a campus of beer hall, outdoor stage and seating, eventish spaces. Beer- there's a lot of it. Something for everyone. And there are seasonal taps, etc. Food- the burgers won the show. There are a lot of options, but the BMB Classic with crappy orange cheese was perfect. All in all, it's the classic American brewery experience. The place is loud inside on a Saturday, but it's got a local, community feel that has clearly helped them survive the brewery crash out of the last few years. read more

We know this place all too well. We went here when this place was just the original small building. We come here every time we visit out to Devil's Backbone and its just a staple to always visit. The food and beer are pretty solid and facility is on point. The only issue that keeps this place from being a solid 5 is the customer service. Sometimes the servers are just not all 'there'. Either being super slow, not really attentive, or just not really caring, the training in this area is inconsistent. Overall, we know we'll keep coming out here for the good food and beer as that has always been a winner. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 3.5 Value of service to cost: 4 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Local vibe. Fits the area with the decor and history of the brewery itself Repeat customer: yeah Dog Friendly: outside read more

Great outdoor space with ample seating and dog friendly. Great value! We had a bit of an issue with service and were left for quite some time before we went inside to order. Beer flight gives you a taste of all the options for a low price! read more

Stopped in for dinner on our way to Wintergreen and even though it was early, it was packed We just wanted something quick and easy before reaching our destination and I decided to try something different and I'm glad I did. My salad was delicious! It had arugula, apples, pears, dried cranberries and I switched out blue cheese for Parmesan and blood orange vinaigrette. It was so refreshing and light. It was exactly what I needed and what I will continue to order. Both my daughter and husband enjoyed their meals as well. It's easy to see that it's a locals favorite. There were plenty of families with their little ones and servers were greeting people by name. The vibe is friendly and welcoming. read more

I've been to BMB several times and have had nice service. My most recent experience was awful. We arrived and were greeted by a tired host who cleaned the table with the dirty napkins that were on the table. I asked for a different table b/c the sun was blasting that table. She explained that she was trying to close sections so that the servers could go home; I understand needing to send staff home, but it was 6:30pm and they close at 10pm. This interaction felt unwelcoming & unprofessional and it was a such a disappointment. We left without ordering anything. I work in the service industry and thought this experience was despicable. read more

Believe it or not we saw someone wearing a T Shirt for this brewery! We took a chance and went for it. It's about 20 minutes outside of Charlottesville. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The homemade potato salad and the mushroom swiss burger was delicious. Be sure to checkout the apparel inside and get yourself a T Shirt to remember your experience! Cheers to a beautiful Blue Mountain view! read more

Stopped in because we heard the pizzas were great especially the Date Night Pizza. Unfortunately, my husband is a basic pizza person so the Date Night was out. We started with a couple of beers which were good. We ordered the Nachos with smoked chicken and the Smoked Wings with Chili Thai sauce. Both were delicious but the nachos were lukewarm at best. They were very good but could have been warmer. We then ordered the Sausage pizza to go to have later. It was absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend! read more

This was probably one of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant recently. When I entered the restaurant, there was a ginger kid and his friend who he called buff. He was supposed to be our host that night not to mention he was sagging his pants. When we finally sat down, it took 30 minutes to get our drinks. When I went to use the bathroom, there was poop on the ground. I alerted my host, the ginger kid about this, but he claimed that people are allowed to poop in the bathroom, and that sometimes he likes to smear it on the walls. When I finally got my food, there was small fecal matter in the french fries. The kid called buff came over and told this tall kid with curly hair who he called mop that he had to fix it. I ended up leaving and buff started to go to collect the poop on the way out so he could spread it on me and throw it at me. read more

On a warm August day 2026, I went here for lunch. It was quite hot and I wanted to sit inside. The host who had ginger hair rudely ordered me to find a table outside because there were no seats inside. Later when I went to the bathroom, I saw the same ginger boy hitting a penis shaped bong and smearing poop on the walls. I really had to go so I quickly went in the stall as far away as possible, but the ginger boy climbed over the stall to look at me peeing. After that I rushed to my very hot table outside to find that my burger was being eaten by some employee who is so called named buff. I will never go here again. read more

5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here. Skip to the end to see my rating scale. Gorgeous place! First thing we noticed is a well manicured outdoor area that is dog friendly. They also have a good food menu which we took advantage of and were not disappointed. We just got appetizers, but they left us questioning if we should get dinner too. Our waitress was awesome and almost had us convinced to do it! But let's talk beer. These guys do a flight right - all ten of their tap choices in one flight! With a generous variety, we both found more than one that we liked enough to invest in a full pint. With stunning views of the mountains, comfortable and classy outdoor seating, and a great beer selection makes Blue Mountain a place that I'll definitely try to convince Mama to visit again! 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 read more

Came here with a group of 9 on our first night in town to checkout some wineries. Honestly, this was my favorite stop of the whole weekend, even more than the wineries, which is typically what this area is known for. We sat outside and the views were amazing. They also had live music on this Friday night, which we really enjoyed. I started with a sampler. You got to pick 10 generous samples for only $11.50. We also ordered a number of appetizers. The buffalo chicken dip and fried pickles were both awesome. My mom and I shared an orchard salad and a flatbread. Both were delicious, with very generous portion sizes. Even though we were a big party, service was excellent. Our server came by often to check on us, refill waters, and take additional drink orders. Amazing spot that I would highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

One of the best spots in Afton to grab a beer, some good grub, and have your dog keep you company. The space is huge, with fire pits and a variety of seating. For the amount of food and gorgeous views, this place is a must. read more

We came on a Saturday around 4:30 and found the entire patio and inside seating filled. We didn't bother with the line and went straight do the bar. Great service and fast. It's that time of the year for amazing beer. "Spooky" has arrived and brought cousins. They have a Pear and a Peanut Butter for outside purchase (but not on draft). The larger bottles are $19.99 and worth it!! I wish I had gotten more. read more

I had been to Blue Mountain's Crozet location a few years ago on a busy Saturday with friends and thought it was okay. I can see they've expanded their dining room and created a cool outside area that looks lovely. A few weeks ago on my return visit the overall experience was mostly blah. Food was okay and I think the very "blah" feeling from our waiter made a big impact. Blue Mountain beer is pretty decent usually. Overall the group of us I think had a pretty B- experience. read more

We drove from Annapolis & made it to Blue Mountain just in time for lunch. The parking lot was packed, and this was at 12:45 on a Wednesday. We both ordered the Kolsch beer, which was great. It was a beautiful day, so we chose a corner table on the patio outside. We split the turkey wrap and an arugula caprese salad. Both were so fresh and so good. Our server was Rhett B, who was amazing. He knew we were sharing so they brought out extra plates, and he checked on us frequently. The scenery was gorgeous, the crape myrtles were in bloom, and we could not have asked for a nicer lunch stop. It was paradise. read more

What a fun spot - felt like a brewery straight out of the Rockie's, transported to the Virginian landscape. Outdoor space is really expansive - plenty of seating between picnic tables and Adirondack chairs (and of course the indoor area as well), yard games for those so inclined, very clean, etc. The indoor section was very campy/log-cabin-ey, which was a cool vibe. Tart sour beer, FRIED GREEN TOMATOES (all caps for a reason - that slathering of pimento was heavenly), and the Date Night Pizza - all wonderfully delicious (also shoutout to how ENORMOUS that pizza was...? Worth $26 and then some for all the leftovers we came home with). Reliable service and overall a great pleasant experience, more our vibe than the wineries for sure. read more

Amazing food! The pizza is the best! The beer is just as good! And every waiter we have had was the best and the service was fast! I love the look of the whole restaurant!

With its spacious lawns, great mountain views, corn hole boards, good & varied menu of food, beers, ciders, wines, etc., myriad of types of seating, fire pits, leashed dogs permitted, friendly staff, this was the perfect venue for lunch for our 3-generation family, all here in Charlottesville to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Only obstacles we encountered were that it was super windy & multiple times, we had to hold onto our patio umbrellas to stop them from getting away & the main picnic-table area is quite tight (we found tables on the fringes, so we got lucky). Bring your pups, your kids, your friends & your folks celebrating their 40th anniversary! read more

We're from out of town (AL). Dropped our stuff off at Airbnb and needed some quick yummy grub. We loved the outside area of this brewery with fire pits, dog friendly, and pretty busy for a Thursday night. We split a pizza (The Real Deal) and loaded fries appetizer. Our waiter was attentive and quick to serve us, super friendly atmosphere Pizzas are plenty big for 2-4 people and I loved the square cut pieces. Delicious. The waffle fries were pretty good - chorizo, jalapeños, queso, sour cream & tomatoes. Personal preference a crispier French fry. We ordered several beers - Punkelweizen Spooky & Dark Hollow. Loved the Halloween theme! read more

Great food. No other brewery is even close to competing with their quality of service and products. Beautiful location. Interior is large and seating provides ample room for patrons. Sit outside if it's a nice day and enjoy the surroundings. Lines can sometimes be a little long, but they take no time and the staff is very helpful/friendly. One of my favorite places to visit. read more

Another 5 star review because this place is fantastic and the raspberry on acid is revolutionary. Side note: should also get the other "on acid" drinks as they are incredible as well read more

Blue Mountain Brewery - Nachos - Brewpubs Near Me - Afton, Virginia

However one ranks patio and beer... What falls short is service level, staff lack of regard, lack of training, and mediocre food that is either over or under cooked seemingly hours ago. How hard can it be ! Several tables had issues with their food and the server was ambivalent (tossed the returned meal on a nearby table and moved on to a different table to check in). We could see how raw their burger was from across the patio. We asked for assistance and the guy we spoke to was spacey and suggested we find our waiter and tell him. As inept as the staff was, their chef needs a kick in the pants for serving up raw burgers on one end and dried leathery chicken sandwich. Who is in charge of this place? C'mon - people are paying a fortune everywhere they go - the least you can do is deliver food deserving of their dollars and the drive to get there. Do better! read more

We visited BMB on a partly overcast lazy Sunday before the heat hit Virginia. This was a fun outing with friends and the perfect place to visit on the patio with nice views in the distance. Certainly a hike coming from Richmond but was well worth it. The beer flights were a great way to test out everything they had on tap and we all really enjoyed them. Some more than others obviously lol but it definitely broaden our horizons since we are typically dark beer drinkers. The food was also exceptional. Every single one of us enjoyed the food a lot. I for one was stunned by my "date night" pizza; everything on it from toppings to crust was perfect. Happily, I had plenty to take home so it ended up being a three meal bonanza. We also got the fried green tomato BLT, and two pepper jelly and bacon burgers -one with a side of Caesar and another with a side of chili. Not only was the food delicious but the prices were incredibly reasonable; particularly in this day and age. Nothing worse than paying a lot of money for food that's disappointing, but this place does the opposite and we will definitely be coming back. And a shout out to Rhett Butler for guiding us on a tasty adventure.. read more

This place is extremely popular. Just getting a parking spot is tricky. BUT as soon as you walk in you are seated. We started with a flight. Their flight is all 10. It is awesome. I highly recommend getting the flight. It feels like your taking a journey with their beer. It is a great tasting . They really have a great menu. We got the Double Date. That is 2 patties with my favorite , goat cheese and they put a sweet jam. It was perfect . Great bun and got the baked beans. They were like a gourmet version that I could eat everyday. They were so delicious. Also hit the pulled pork on that same style bun. It was good but I love Carolina barbecue the best. Got the fries. They were crisp, hot, and delicious Service was awesome!!! Our food came so quick we both said our food is here already?? That was super fast snd that place was packed with people. Bravo y'all definitely deserve 5 stars !!!!!!! read more

My brother and I were looking, of course on yelp and we found this really cool brewery close to my sister's cabin, and we decided to go try it. What an awesome recommendation. He got a flight of different kinds of beers from the brewery and enjoyed trying all of them. I got a cider with peach flavoring, which was very tasty. We had the pretzel with beer, cheese and mustard, the mustard is really good. It was a little horseradish in it, but not too much. It was very tasty. We also had the fried brussels sprouts, they were coded in a balsamic vinegar with apples and smoked bacon, it was very, very tasty together. I like the fact that they didn't cook brussels sprouts to mush that you actually had texture in them and that they were really nice. Then we split a entrée of barbecued pork with Thai coleslaw. I got fries he got a salad. His salad was huge, even though it was a size salad and he said it was very delicious. They gave him an apple balsamic dressing to go with it and he was very happy. I got the fries which were dipped in a tempura batter before being fried. I thought they went really well and I dipped them in the Thai dressing that came with the coleslaw. Very tasty! we sat out on the porch, because I brought my dog and they are very dog friendly. They have wonderful fire pits all around for when you come and it's kind of chilly. And you got to see the beautiful mountains and eat and the beautiful air. It was so clean. Really had a great time. Our servicing to have a lot on her plate, but she still made time to stop by and check in on us. We recommended my sister come and visit and we would love to come visit again ourselves. The best thing on the menu was the persimmon sour that my brother got in his flight and Back even ordered a small goblet of it again before we left. It's really too bad they don't sell those except for a growler and they were sold out. read more

Came in for our last stop. They had some great live music and we enjoyed playing some cornhole. They had a nice wine list and we enjoyed the Rose. The artichoke dip is served cold which wasn't fantastic and the Brussels sprouts were good but could be crispier. The staff was lukewarm, sometimes helpful and sometimes rude. read more

Beautiful brewery! We sat outside, plenty of space and there are many tables available with umbrellas. There is a large menu with options for everyone. Plenty of water stations too ! I enjoyed the hot honey grilled chicken sandwich with fries and the rockfish ale. I typically see hot honey as a fried chicken option . The grilled chicken was packed full of savory flavors, hot honey, creamy pimento cheese, grilled chicken, on a fresh soft bun. Everything was delicious ! read more

We went to this brewery after we went apple picking. Beautiful day outside, we sat at picnic table and the kids were able to play outside and they had a stage/play area too. We ordered pretzel/nachos for apps and 2 pizzas. There were 4 adults and 3 kids, we went home w leftovers. The pizzas are sooooo good! We didn't even finish them, but I wished we ordered one full one to go bc I was craving more! The crust is thin but not super thin, it was perfect! The vibes were great, people brought kids, dogs, cards/games. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Was great experience, go here! read more

This place has come a long way in just a few years! We frequent it when the whole family is in town. Their flatbread pizzas are killer, as well as their veggie burger but they've taken that off the menu... or it's seasonal, I can't remember. Even though it can get very crowded and you might have to wait a little longer for your server, they are always polite & friendly. Love the live music with the blue mountain backdrop. Great place. read more

We arrived at the brewery and didn't have to wait long to be seated. Waitress arrived shortly after we were seated... I don't understand why you all have people waiting tables who lack personality, rapport, a smile, and basic human interpersonal skills. She was so unenthused to be working tonight... Food took a very long time to come out. Don't you hate when the food takes forever to come out and some items are cold? Fries were cold and had been sitting so long you couldn't even tell there was cheese on them. The chili used in the taco salad was full of beans, it was like 95% beans, 5% meat. One of the burgers that we ordered was supposed to be a double patty but one patty was extremely smaller than the other. It was like that put a slider patty on top of a full size patty. Did y'all not think someone would notice that? The flights of beer were okay. Out of the 10 beers I enjoyed maybe 2-3. Outdoor seating and fire pit section was very nice and relaxing, restaurant was unique and spacious as well. Overall, not the best food experience for us. read more

I highly recommend Thai chilly Wings, perfect blend of sweet, tangy and hint of spiciness. It was like Jhol pau (Titaura) if you know what I mean all my Nepalese peeps. P.S. I just took picture of buffalo wings which was good but not good as the Thai Chilly ones. read more
