    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!

    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.

    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 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

    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.

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

We stopped at South End Brewing for lunch and loved the cozy, laid-back vibe. I tried a pumpkin beer while Steve went for an espresso martini--both were fantastic choices for a fall afternoon. Since portions are usually huge when traveling and we don't like carrying leftovers, we decided to share the Tuna Poke Power Bowl ($20). 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.

I also grabbed a Caesar salad, but the croutons were a little weird and personally weren't my favorite. The service was standard and got the job done, but overall, it's a nice spot I'd visit again for the nachos alone.

In a town that is geared…read moretowards tourists (I'm a resident), and where one restaurant tries to outdo the other, this restaurant is sorely lacking, in everything from wait staff to food. What they do have is a lot of different types of beer. So I guess if you just want a beer with tasteless food then this is the place to go. My friend and I had lunch at around 12 noon. There were literally only four other tables with a few people. Our waiter came to take our order and basically gave the impression that he wishes he was anywhere other than in this restaurant working. Not even a smile or a hello how are you doing? He was truly uncaring and answered us in half syllables when we had questions about the menu. OK whatever -/so we ordered a burger and the turkey Gruyère sandwich. At $19 for a burger (most other places in Blowing Rock charge around 12) and another 19 for a turkey sandwich you would expect at least french fries or coleslaw as a side. The sides are potato chips ( how cheap can you get) or green beans?????? if you want anything else like a side salad or fruit you have to pay an additional five dollars. Literally every other restaurant in town that serves sandwiches or burgers gives you a choice of several sides that come with the meal . But here a hamburger with a side of fruit was $23. Our waiter never came back to check on us, but another waitress did come a couple times and filled my tea glass with ice and asked us how everything was and brought samples of the beer. Thank you to whoever that was. Wish you could have been our waitress. Because our waiter was so unconcerned about waiting on us that he apparently forgot we were there. After a half an hour of not receiving our food in a restaurant that was mostly empty, I flagged him down and asked him what happened to our food. He said he would go and check on it. He came back and said that ours was the next ticket up.!! so basically this waiter held onto our ticket and then got reminded that he had to actually put it in for us to get our food. So we waited another 10 minutes. The burger was so tiny you practically needed a magnifying glass to see it. Burned to a crisp because of course the waiter also forgot to ask how we wanted it cooked. We like it medium rare, and definitely not charred and well done. The Turkey sandwich with Gruyère was just some turkey slices and I'm assuming gruyere cheese which I couldn't really taste. The whole sandwich was definitely forgettable. So that's my review. I still gave the waiter 10% tip, which he did not deserve. He did not deserve a tip at all. Needless to say, will never be back at this restaurant again. Nor will I ever recommend it. Because lunch for almost $60 for two people with two disgusting sandwiches was obscene.
