    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!

    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!

    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!

    Crispy Brussels sprouts appetizer- very tasty!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 !

    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.

    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

    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.

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

It came with quinoa and spring mix as the base, topped with edamame, cucumbers, guacamole, cabbage, crispy wontons, and fresh ahi tuna. It was flavorful and beautifully presented, though I honestly couldn't find much quinoa--it felt more like a salad than a grain bowl. Still, everything tasted fresh, the service was wonderful, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a great spot to stop if you're exploring Boone!

We found parking on a side street near Blowing Rock Brewing, so decided to enjoy a drink and get some lunch. We were seated quickly, near a heater, which was nice to help us warm up after being on the mountain. A waiter came by with menus to take our order. We asked for some suggestions, but he was a little less than enthused to offer advise. They had a good variety of beers, so my wife and I each got one, and shared them. We got the Pina Colada Kolsch and the Cloud Rise Hazy Ipa. Both were tasty, the Pina Colada Kolsch had a much stronger pineapple flavor than I expected, but in a good way. For food we started with the white cheddar poblano, which I expected to be more of a liquid queso for some reason. It was instead for of a soft, spread, which was really good, and paired well with the chips. And then we split the Turkey Reuben, which I figured would be made with deli meat, instead, it was warm, cooked chunks of turkey, really great flavor, and hit the spot for us. The sides with the sandwiches were a bit lacking, only offering hot chips, and green beans....I've never gotten the whole hot chip craze, but green beans just seamed like too odd of a side option for a sandwich It was a good visit, and a good meal, to get us back on our feet. Overall, a nice space, with bar seating, a back room, a back and front patio, plenty of space to hang out, relax and enjoy their beer. Food and drink were both good and worth a visit if you're in the area.

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints.
