    This was a brewery where they served food to go with their abundance of beer. For someone that doesn't drink but wanted something good to eat it was a decent spot to choose. Tucked back behind a coffees shop it's a seat yourself, order and pay at the counter and they bring the food to you. Only canned and bottled beverages other than the alcohol which was a little disappointing though not surprising. Two in the party got cheesesteaks which looked tasty though the fries looked overcooked. One person got a burger with sweet potato fries and both were good. Can't say either were stupendous but still a decent burger. The large BBQ nachos were a large plate of chips topped with a lot of BBQ, nacho cheese and the toppings but not enough BBQ sauce. Should have asked for more but I didn't want to sit and wait for it so I made do. Other than the fact that the chips weren't the fanciest it was a nice plate of food. The place was loud but I can see its appeal and for a little town in VA it's a nice place for a bite to eat on a Saturday afternoon.

    Original ceiling tiles!

    Fantastic place! Our server was great, and the cook came out to talk to us when we ordered a Beyond Smashburger style. She told us the onions they use on the smashburger has beef bone broth in the marinade, so we asked not to have those. The burger was great, but even a thin slice of fresh onion with a couple drops of hot sauce would have taken it to another level of awesomeness. We loved the fries and previously decided not to ask if their fryer was dedicated to non-meat food. So, what we don't know LOL. The bathrooms were pristine, and the decor was super fun. I hope we pass through this way again and have time to return. We only discovered this place because our Harvest Host location was closed that Monday night, and so were many other alternatives. Thanks for being open!

    Loved this spot! We stopped in on a Friday afternoon and there was tons of seating! They have a small outdoor area that faces the parking lot and was in the shade. We opted to sit inside which was large and open. I ordered a flights of 3 beers and I loved their Pilsner the best. We also got the wings which were fantastic. I liked the honey BbQ more than the Buffalo but both were great. They looked to be the best item on the menu. The bartender and waitress were both sweet and accommodating. We also tried route 11 chips since we are from out of town and they had bags for purchase. Overall, great casual stop! Definitely try the wings!

    I had a wedding nearby and travelled from out of state. I came in a day earlier so I was looking for places to go and found this place. It's a divey looking brewery that used to be a movie theater hence the name. They had a good selection of beer that is made in house and their smoked chicken wings were delicious. They have a small outdoor patio to sit when the weather is nice and the indoors is big.

    Pulled pork loaded large size Nachos. Feeds 2 for sure.

    Things were on and off today, but the service was tight. Walked in looking for a Marzen draft. The web site showed a picture of it, but I was told it would be on tap tomorrow, according to the release. The bartender said something like, "Blah Blah Blah, come back tomorrow." But all in a great tone. (Did I mention their service was spot on, let me add knowledgeable to it.) But as always none of that is part of the review. I believe those readers aren't there when I get bad service so giving a low review makes no sense. But then again giving a great review on incredible service is the same thing, so the rating is on food and drinks only! The ambiance/decor was nice, nothing to write home about, but indeed clean and roomy. So the "off" was the first plate they put in front of us. We ordered the Full Nachos, dammit they came out cold with stale chips. I called the server, who took the large plate back and brought another. Unfortunately this plate's pulled pork was luke warm and the cheese was not much hotter. Sad, we went that far, but we were hungry and driving and could not wait nor drink too much more, so we devoured paid and left. For the Nachos, I would offer a 2 star, but the beer saved the day. For the drafts: The Massanutty Brown Ale did a nice job for me. I enjoyed the sip and knew this was the reason I came. If you are a brewery type, give it a try, the brewery choices will bring you back. I believe they had about 12 beers on tap , 4 ciders and I only counted 3 IPAs. I mean I saw wheats, Vienna lager, helles, a Nut Brown, a porter, I mean if they had Cask Conditioned I would have rented a motel room close by. For me, this means the beer, with the few samples I had, was a 4 star. I will go back to test the Vienna Lager, which had a mild but intriguing taste, and the Marzen, which should be on tap soon and may make it a 5star! Thanks to the master brewer, and to you for reading. Please like if you agree.

    It's great to see historical spaces converted to modern use...especially a brewery! This is a really cool spot in a picturesque downtown not far off 81. I had some wings, a side salad, and a flight. All the beers were pretty good. I loved the smoked wings! Just beware...that hot sauce is really hot.

    Stopped by Box Office Brewery in Strasburg, VA today and tried the Signal and Half Moon Hazy--both packed with hops and full of flavor. I'll definitely be coming back to try more beers on tap. Didn't eat this time, but the food looked great! Friiendly local service - you cannot go wrong - I recommend it!

    In town for the weekend and stopped by Box Office Brewery for the first time. What a cool spot! Unique theme, spacious, clean and inviting. Staff members were welcoming and friendly. We ordered Off The Press and Betwixt Cider. Off The Press was my fave. They also had live music which was very pleasant. Nice spot!

    Went about 1h before closing on a Thursday and everyone couldn't have been nicer. Beer/cider was good and the food we ordered was delivered quickly. The pizza was excellent! The nachos were only okay. I don't know what I'd change -different vegetables maybe? Everything was clearly described on the menu I just didn't love it all together -like olives and jalapeños. Would go back if in town again!

    It's a cool place for a pit stop!…read more Their fried oysters hit the spot but I'd skip the brisket next time. I saw someone chowing down on some ribs & fried chicken and I got jealous. Surprisingly, their habanero hot sauce was fantastic! I didn't see if they sell that stuff by the bottle but I'm sure they would hook you up with some. I got the impression that not many people show interest in it sooo, get on it! Their Cookies & Cream pie is meh but their blueberry pie, warmed up with a little whip cream hits the spot.

    The smell while driving by made us double back. From there we had very high hopes... we spoke to…read moreanother customer who suggested the pulled pork. We spoke to clerk who suggested the family sampler $49.99 It came with 3 meats - we chose Pork, Chicken and Brisket, hush puppies, 3 sides - we chose Mac n cheese, greens, French fries Here is where our review comes: keep in mind we are foodies and I'm from Smithfield NC Brisket- 2/10 very thin, it gets cold immediately, you can taste the smoke but need the sauce to eat it. It didn't hold favor. Bbq sauce is very watery. Not sure why. Pork- 1/10 we did not like it at all. It was different. Ground. Vinegar overpowers everything. I almost feel it could've been better but we just couldn't eat it. Chicken- 6/10 as a family we ate it. Would picture it in a taco being great. Again vinegar overpowers. Mac and Cheese- 3/10 too milky not enough cheese.... And a true sample. Maybe 2oz. For the price it wasn't worth it. Greens- 8/10 again too much vinegar but I'm a country girl we eat the greens Hush puppies 10/10 French fries 10/10 So all in all we would not stop here again. However the staff was friendly, the decor was cute and if it works for you, go for it! Honestly I'm disappointed that we didn't like it as much as we wanted to. But I promised to always be honest in my reviews. It's a pass if you are a foodie.

    We were on vacation and had a craving for Italian. Thanks to Yelp for finding this for us (which is…read morewhy I love Yelp!). First I have to give a shout out to our server Ashley! She was amazing. We were there for a late lunch (maybe could be considered an early dinner) and she was the only server on the floor. There were 4-5 tables the whole time we were there. Ashley handled it like the pro I am sure she is. Every table taken care of and checked on, every drink refilled promptly, every table's meal timed PERFECTLY. I was a server for years and I know it's a juggling act to time your tickets. Ashley was flawless. That being said, we ordered Caprese, because if it is on the menu, I am ordering it. Super smart that they are still using Roma tomatoes this early in the season. That means they know quality. So many places just stick with the beefsteak, or whatever big ones they can get without caring about what is in season (so the tomatoes are mealy). Spoiler alert, the larger tomatoes aren't quite there yet. If you care about quality, you are serving Romas right now. They are the most flavorful. This place makes their own fresh mozzarella (scroll through all the food pics), and it shows. Great start to the meal! Our meals came with side salads - Hubby had the Cesar, as always and I had the house. Not sure if they make their dressings in house, but it sure tasted like it. I loved the extra touch of the dressing coming out in a little metal boat so you can add as much or as little as you want. And yeah, the boat. How many places bring your dressing on the side in little plastic containers? Most of them. So this impressed me. The bread - oh the bread is super good, as well! It was warm and came with a yummy garlic butter already slathered on. I did hear from another table asking that plain butter is also available, but the garlic butter is worth it if you are a garlic lover. Hubby's Manicotti was well done. A decent amount of ricotta on the inside and the sauce was really good - not too sweet, not too acid. This is a big thing to mention, as I didn't taste it. That came from Hubby and he usually doesn't comment like that. My spaghetti with garlic and oil was very good, but there was SO MUCH of it! They could easily cut that amount in half (or more) and save some good cost. The place is clean, so are the bathrooms. We would definitely return when in the area again!

    We stopped in for lunch on the recommendation of the hotel next-door. We were sat quickly. The…read moredining room was very nice. The white staff was super friendly. I have celiac, so I can't have any gluten. The waitress was well informed of what I could have in the updates they would make to ensure my lunch was gluten-free. My daughter had the mozzarella triangles as an appetizer. They were good. I had a side salad, which was very good. I had the gluten-free pizza. It was excellent. My daughter had the chicken Caesar salad. There was plenty of chicken and the salad was fresh. We enjoyed our visit very much. Service was great. Food was great too and I didn't get sick. A win!
