Service was impressively fast, and the staff even switched the TV to the Oscars so we could watch, which was a thoughtful touch. The food was excellent across the board. 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. read more

First time at Booneshine and it definitely won't be the last! I enjoyed the atmosphere and delicious selection of beer. After trying a few I finally chose the black IPA. It was delicious and flavorful! I ordered a Thai chicken sandwich and cheese bites. Both were very good but not amazing. Overall definitely recommend! read more

I wish I could give 4.5 stars instead of 4. The place itself was a nice venue with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The beer was great and the food was good too! The lady that first served us and got us started was peppy and friendly. The next person was a little too interested in the football game. He did come by frequently to check on us, but handed us the check while looking at the TV. Other than that, my husband and I had a nice time! read more

Outstanding brewery we went to with a delicious selection of beer to go with your food. We sat outside and even though it was cold out they had heaters to compensate. The service was great and the ambience was modern with many people just hanging out enjoying themselves. We would come back! read more

I can't count the number of times someone has recommended this place. Booneshine has a really lovely overall atmosphere. It's in a great location of east Boone, right near a trail and Brookshire park. (And Cheap Joes art peeps!) The service was great, our waitress was so sweet and attentive. All the staff we talked to were super friendly. The brussel sprouts appetizer was delicious, super crispy and fun flavors. I enjoyed my hot honey sandwich - it was nicely fried - crispy on the outside but not overly breaded. And the chicken was still juicy. The fries were good and if you are a ranch fan, I recommend getting some for dipping. My mom got the salad, which she enjoyed. We appreciated they had the option to get a small or large salad. It would be great if there were options to add a protein to the salad. But they do give lots of options for building meals, so it's not a problem. We didn't taste any beer, but I definitely plan to next time I'm there. They had a great variety available, with the option for a full or half pint. I always appreciate places that give the half pint option, cause I usually never want a full pint. I also want to mention that Booneshine started a clothing drive days after Hurricane Helene hit and has been doing a ton to support the local community as we recover from the storm. They care about the community and that says a lot about the people who run and work there If you are in the area, definitely stop by. Great place to sit outside and enjoy a beer and some tasty food. I didn't try the pretzel, but that's top of my list for next time! read more

Our 2nd visit to Booneshine, but our first time eating dinner here. We came on a Thurs night (less than a week after Hurricane Helene) around 6PM and sat on the patio. Of course, I had to try the IPA's....Space Pegasus ($7) and Pop-A-Can ($7) and enjoyed them both...Pop-A-Can was my favorite. My bride ordered the Large Veggie Flatbread ($16) and I had the Hot Honey Chicken ($13) with small fries ($4)....they were solid and met expectations. Service from Charles was excellent! read more

If there is one thing I would recommend to this place, it would be to get QR code ordering on the outer ring of the patio and also the beer garden. I came here by myself with my dog, and I couldn't leave my stuff behind to go get another drink. If I had the QR ordering, I would have had another beer (so they would have made another sale). I came here at 5:30pm on a Friday. I was told the seating for dinner was at least an hour to an hour and a half. I said that was fine, I would just get a drink. I could go into the bar to get it and then I found my seat. I was lucky to get a parking spot and it was VERY tight so be careful. read more

We have seen this place advertised in the past but never had the chance to check it out. Until now. When you arrive, you'll notice the parking lot is dirt and gravel, just so you know in case your shoes mean a great deal to you. Just mentioning this in case it rains. Walking up, you'll notice outdoor covered seating and a welcome podium where you wait to be seated. You'll have your choice of booth-like or high bar still seats. Also to note, this place is dog friendly. A big plus for you animal lovers out there. The bar is bustling with all sorts of beers on tap as well as hard ciders. There is something here for all tastes. The food menu is a little Limited but yet enough to satisfy most tastes. We were seating promptly and our server was friendly and efficient. She also answered any questions we had about the menu or drinks available. We ordered the pretzel as an appetizer with beer cheese. I got the fries honey chicken sandwich and my wife got the pimento cheese BLT and we also got fries. All the food was very good. The chicken sandwich was the crispiest, crunchiest chicken I've ever eaten. Absolutely wonderful. The fries were hot and fresh and my wife's pimento BLT had delicious pimento cheese and crisp, fresh lettuce, tomato and crispy bacon. I had one of their drafts and my wife got one of their fraught hard ciders. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. The place is clean and well-lit. Service was very good as was the food. We've been back since since this visit. Like most things the last few years, it's not cheap to eat and drink here. With one drink each and food, a couple can expect to spend $40-$50 plus tip. But like I've said before, I don't mind paying for good food. You owe it to yourself to give these guys a try. You'll have a great time and a great meal. read more

I love the space Pegasus beer one of my favorites. It doesn't can as well as it taste out of the tap not even close so highly recommend you come here and try it. Had the smashed burger, which was all right, but it was 12 bucks with a beer so can't complain these days with that kind of value. I want to try some of the other food. It looked pretty good but the beer here is fantastic and the servers are super nice. read more

This such a great local spot off the beaten path in Boone. It's first come first served but if you arrive at a decent hour (beating the crowds or the weekend rush) then you'll be happy you stopped in. The whole setup is partly indoor and partly outdoor. If you get seated inside then you get full service and accessibility to the menu. If you're outside there's a food truck with a smaller menu and a beer tent you can order from. The first time I came here it was on a weekday evening fairly early, so we were able to sit inside. I got one of their burgers and fries and it was really delicious. The beer I ordered was surprisingly good--I believe I got Space Pegasus. The whole place is great for groups and it's family friendly. Definitely a new local favorite spot. read more

We took our friends with their 4 year old here and were able to tuck into a corner giving the kiddo some room to roam. Definitely a family friendly spot. The fire pits outside were really nice. We ordered appetizers and my favorite was the pretzel. Kinda typical bar food but our crew generally liked everything except we didn't all love the Brussels. The chutney on top just didn't make sense to me. I do think boo shine makes some really delicious beers and I would come back for those specifically in the future. There is a wide variety of beers on tap, however no NA beers and one of our adults was our DD and pretty disappointed by that read more

This brewery was my favorite thus far while visiting Boone. The outdoor seating makes a great spot for friends and family to get together and enjoy the weather as well as live music/food trucks when occurring! Service was friendly as they offered help in choosing a beverage to try. They allowed samples for different beers before being able to choose. The food was also so delicious! Perfect place for a good weather day outside. Cant wait to go back and try the other brews ! read more

This place is busy! We went about 7:30 on a Friday evening and had a 1 hour wait. While waiting, you can grab a beer and sit outside and one of the many picnic tables to relax and wait. We were seated around 8:20 and were informed that the kitchen closed at 9, so any food order needed to be in by then. All the food and beer we tried were amazing. I love the vibe here. The big open spaces with tons of seating set up in a way that even though the place is packed, it doesn't feel like it. We will definitely be back when we are in the area! Did not have a signal most of the time we were there, so only a few pictures read more

The grilled chicken sandwich was mediocre and kinda small Beyond that the chicken tenders were the best ever juicy and crispy melt in your mouth I will go for them over and over again The salad portions were huge but we all love blue cheese dressing and was disappointed by not having that option The ranch cilantro was bland This is a great place, just creative criticism Will return with my own bottle of blue cheese dressing If i can read more

Fun place to grab some beer, food, and enjoy good company. Every time we stop by Boone to reminisce about being young at App State, we grab a pint and breathe in the mountain air. The staff are friendly, you have tvs to watch the game, and plethora of options to imbibe or drink. I ordered the veggie flatbread, not pictured, and 2 beers. High Country Honey- easy light, semi sweet beer. Jean Schwarz- not my favorite. Has an odd aftertaste. read more

Good Beer. Nice Folks. Very Dog friendly on the patio. Interesting food choices and the giant pretzel was like dessert.

Booneshine delivers a lively, welcoming vibe perfect for pre-game drinks or a full night out. Their service is friendly and fast, and the energy in the place keeps the good times rolling. Add in their partnership with the App FC community and their regular pregame gatherings -- and Booneshine becomes more than just a bar. It's a social hub. If you're looking for fun, community, and a great place to hang with friends in Banner Elk, Booneshine is it. read more

We stopped by here for a quick dinner and beer on a recent vacation. The pizza was delicious. There was ample seating both inside and out.

Great brewery! Came here on a rainy Saturday with friends and it was packed. Put our name in for a table inside, but was still able to get a drink at the bar before our table was ready. They do offer wine and ciders for the gluten free folks and have gf menu items. I enjoyed a cider and a yummy chocolate torte. Perk -- fun murals on the wall for great photos! Also, free wifi. read more

Booneshine food was honestly 10/10! We started with beer cheese pretzel and cauliflower which were so yummy. I got the grilled chicken sammy with fries and phew it was good. Highly recommend getting the $3 side beer cheese for your fries. The ranch was super dilly which I like but some don't. Their garlic Mayo was also FIRE if you like an aoli with your fries. Overall we had such a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our eats. read more

My family and I had a great time. The place was full of energy both inside and out. What a great ambience! Regarding their selection of beers, it was plentiful with options for every beer snob palate (including mine). I am not a fan of IPAs, so I sampled just about everything else. Very nice! On to the food. This is where this place takes it up a notch. We decided to go heavy on the appetizers and were SO happy we did. Every item we ordered was amazing! We selected the soft pretzel (and added the smoked sausage), Hot Honey Chicken Tenders, and the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. Then added gluten free flatbread (for my wife). Again, all were awesome! And given how busy they were, the staff was prompt with caring for our needs. If I am ever in this area again, I will come back. read more

Stopped in for lunch. We were a large group and sat out on the patio. Our waitress was really helpful. The food was good and the beer and cider as well. We saw so many cute pups too! Definitely recommend. Great vibe good food good service! read more

Great food and great service tonight for our group!!! We had the Brussels sprouts and cheese curds and everyone got the hot honey chicken or the hot honey chicken tenders. Along with some of their specialty brews. I did not capture photos of everything because it was so good I didn't think about it. 10/10 amazing quality chicken!!! read more

In town for a soccer tournament and stopped in for a beer and lunch. Like that they have a separate beer garden bar and food truck. Dodd was really good, smoked chicken tacos were tender and tasty and the eggplant fries were super crispy, really good. Best was refreshing. Only negative was their lack of covered seating on a hot day, could use more umbrellas. Tip: If the lot is full, park at the park and make the very short walk instead of paying $6 at the business across the street. read more

Another place that I was excited to try in Boone and found lacking. An hour wait was frustrating at 8pm but we had drinks and sat outside. Once seated the service was good and food and drinks came quick. Ordered the grilled chicken sandwich bunless and the chicken was flat, tiny, dry and tasteless. The brat was decent. The beers were average but the overall atmosphere was nice and rustic. read more

This new location is awesome! I can't wait to be able to spend more time here...more beer time. This was a quick lunch. The menu looks great. I wanted a small plate, but wanted to enjoy that brewery food. The hot honey chicken nuggets did it! They were perfectly crunchy and sweet and hot. The fries were awesome too. Great facility with views of the mountains. Easily accessible right off 421 and near a park. Quick and kind service. read more

Overall the place was super cute and absolutely loved the vibes. Waitress was kind and attentive and we got our food at a reasonably good time. We got the brussel sprouts as an app and they were great! The pickled pepper relish really made the dish. My bf got the supreme flatbread and he really enjoyed it. I took a bite and I agreed. It was very delicious and not overbearing or heavy. Unfortunately there's not much positives I can say about the chicken sandwich. The chicken cutlet was soooo thin and was severely over cooked, probably due to trying to get those aesthetics "grill marks" on it. The greens was the same greens as the salad and it kept falling off and there was no sauce whatsoever on it. Pretty mediocre tbh. One last thing- there's 2 distinct areas- 1) indoor : has servers and the kitchen and 2) outdoor : had 5-6 taps and food trucks. They only had a few overlapping beers on tap and you are not able to order from the bar and bring it outside - not that I could do. I was pretty shocked and sad as I didn't really like any of the beers on tap in the outdoor space after my bf and I finished our dinner and decided to go to the other area. But it is what it is. Overall, it was a lovely time and would recommend! read more

Beer was awesome! I had the amber/honey. Wife had the seasonal Peak Season. Great variety. We ordered 3 appetizers. Salad with fruit (forgot the name) was incredible. Cheese curds - forgetaboutit. Best we've had. Chicken tenders in a hot honey sauce lived up to the billing. Pro Tip - dip the curds in the hot honey sauce. Beer gets an A+. Food gets an A+. Service gets an A+. Greeted by multiple friendly people. Gwen was our server and she's a pro. Can't say enough about the service...especially Gwen. Dog friendly, kid friendly. Free stickers. Clean bathrooms. Lots of parking. Inside seating, covered outside seating, open outside seating. We now stop here at least once each time we're in the area. read more

We stopped into this Boone mainstay last Saturday for lunch. We get out this way every so often and we try to visit one of the breweries in the area when we do. There was a food truck / trailer on site (I don't remember the name) but we opted to sit in the brewery and order from the menu. I started with a Space Pegasus IPA. My wife, who is NOT a beer drinker, was happy they had wine available. The IPA was really good. It was "dank" like an IPA should be. Next up was a four beer flight sampler, Nuclear Seahorse, Tropicpale IPA, Cherry From The Monastery and White Oak IPA. All were really good. I purchased a four pack of the Pegasus to go. For lunch we started with a Pretza, which is a pretzel topped with Mariana sauce, pepperoni and cheese. It was really good. The pretzel itself wasn't overly doughy, it was lite and the sauce and cheese on it were delicious. My wife ordered the High Country flatbread which was made with a cauliflower crust. It was topped with broccoli, pickled onions, cheese, buttercup onion sauce and kale. It was really tasty. The vegetables were roasted perfectly. I went with the Bolick Burger "Brookshire Style" which was topped with caramelized onions, beer cheese, candied bacon and????, I can't recall. It was delish however. The fries that came with it complemented the burger really well. They were crunchy and had the right amount of salt. This is a really nice brewery in the Boone / Blowing Rock area. They were busy during our visit. However, the service was prompt and friendly. Definitely pay them a visit when your in the area. read more

The food was delicious and the service was very personable. I got the mixed greens salad with grilled hot honey chicken thigh. It was very good but was missing cheese that I thought was supposed to be on it. Supposed to have "shaved" parmesan cheese but has a barely noticeable grated parmesan. I wanted to see it and taste it but... My husband got the hot honey chicken sandwich and my daughter got the hot honey chicken nuggets. They both liked what they got. We tried the fried cheese curds from the food truck and they were delicious! We got a pepperoni flatbread as takeout for our son and it was very good. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. I like that you can get an 8 oz beer especially since they have so many to try! The ambiance was our favorite because you can sit inside or out and there's a large area with picnic tables near the food truck if you want another option for outside. Dogs were welcomed which is always nice for people traveling with their fur babies! read more

This is a local brewery. The soft pretzel with beer cheese was AMAZING. The pretzel had great taste and just the right amount of soft. The beer cheese had a slight spice to it - not hot just flavorful. The fried Brussel sprouts while they looked amazing they were just okay. They needed a little more sweetness to them. The ABC grilled chicken sandwich was the freshest, healthiest tasting sandwich I have ever tasted. The bread is from a local bakery called Stick Bread. So fresh. This had grilled chicken, Granny Smith apple slices, (yes I said apple slices), Brie and arugula. Highly recommend this sandwich and pretzel. The beers come in 8 or 16 oz and the best part is two 8 oz beers cost the same as one 16 oz beer, so you can try without a large commitment and you can try several different ones. The beers were great. They have inside seating, a patio and then a picnic area with a beer trailer out there and sometimes they have their food truck set up out there which serves different food than inside. I would highly recommend the place. Oh and the service staff was very friendly and efficient. read more

This place is awesome. It is hands down one of the best breweries we have been to. It's one thing to make really awesome beer, it's another thing to make awesome beer and delicious food. Our waitress Aiden was really professional and friendly. She helped us decide on the really awesome pretzel (made locally by stick boys), the classic cheeseburger, the honey chicken tenders, and the rainbow root salad. We were so happy with our selection. This is a really cool place. We highly recommend! read more

Love this place! Vibes are great, food and beer are always amazing! Love bingo night!

Stopped in today per usual Boone monthly visit. First red flag was the beer was off. Normal / trusted favs did not taste the same (IPA's). Secondly. Service was subpar at bar. Not attentive to customers and seriously not busy enough to warrant. Third. The food. What restaurant doesn't serve fries with a $14-16 dollar sandwich?!?! And. What restaurant serves chicken tenders or hot honey tenders that come with no dipping sauce (add .50 please) just seems ridiculous considering how good the food is. Atmosphere on a Saturday night was dismal. Lost Province is beating you on so many levels. Catch up. We are loyal and left VERY disappointed. read more
