We ended up ordering a supreme pizza with the option of getting all of the meat & vegetable toppings that are available. We customized our pizza. The pizza looked good & cooked on the outside but was kind of gummy on the inside as if it were cooked too fast & wasn't done inside. We had time constraints so we were unable to get the pizza recooked.

They have taps, a stocked fridge, and a large bottle / can selection to choose from. It's also a good place to stop in if you're looking for a case to take home or to a party, for example.

This meant as soon as we sat down we needed to hurry to order since the kitchen was closing. Nice wine selection but the draft beers were mostly unavailable. The chicken entree was good. The actual pork chop in my order was good but the grits were lukewarm (perhaps hoping the pork would heat them?) and no sign of the caramelized apples and onions. Waitress was nice but forgot our water and everyone was more concerned with getting the restaurant closed vs waiting on us. They said they closed at 8 but it was clear at 7:55 they wanted us out. For $134, even at the airport, I expect better.

It's been a while since I had Lonerider's beer and at one point it slipped my mind to write a…read morereview about it but then I realized there was still a review I haven't posted yet for the brewery and decided to rectify that oversight. We had three different beers from this brewery, one in which appears to be no longer in production. The discontinued one was a pale ale by the name of Peacemaker. It was refreshing and enjoyable to have. Flavor features with this beer are that typically seen with a pale ale which are hoppy, malty and sweet. The beer is very light bodied which is nice and very smooth. Unfortunate that it's out of production. The other two beers we had are still being made. One was Shotgun Betty which is a Hefeweizen. Not bad but sometimes I struggle with Hefes and the strong banana clove flavor which was the case here. It was good that it was light bodied like most Hefes are and smooth also. The final beer was the Sweet Josie Brown Ale which I think was my favorite. The sweet, malty and coffee flavors are very enjoyable and like the prior two beers a nice smooth body to this fine dark beer. I am glad I recalled this brewery experience as I felt it was important to post the beers we had and what we thought of them!

Food decent, but the service was definitely unorganized. I got my tasty Biltmore Chardonnay and water quickly while Husband waited forever for a Diet Coke and for us to order. I was about to start chugging and move on when she finally came to take our order and we still had to ask for his drink. A small sorry I forgot would have gone a long way instead of an "it's coming". Food when it made it out was decent. Wings were supposedly smoked. Fried is more like it, but finger lickin' good bbq sauce. An appetizer portion was a perfectly fine dinner for me. Husband's all American burger was fine, and his fries were very good. Don't wait to ask for the check if you need to get moving. We asked just in the nick of time!

The table next to us got the sweet tea glazed brussel sprouts and those things looked delicious. I would definitely give those a try next time.

I suggested The Goat based on…read moreYelp reviews and because it was convenient to her meetings and Interstate 40 since she lives in the Charlotte area and was driving home that evening. Vickie was already there when I arrived and had ordered the Queso Skillet. It was a great way to start the meal. The sausage gave it a nice flavor and paired well with the queso. Although The Goat has a full bar, we both opted for soft drinks. I had a club soda with cranberry juice, which was mixed well and refreshing. After enjoying the sausage in the Queso Skillet, I ordered the Nonna Tavern Pizza with Italian sausage, caramelized onions, banana peppers, and basil marinara. Whatever blend of cheeses was used, the pizza was delicious. I also had a side house salad with apple vinaigrette, which was very tasty. Vickie ordered the grilled salmon and said it was quite good. The service was very good, and the space has a modern industrial tavern feel with upscale farmhouse and brewery-inspired design elements. It feels casual and comfortable while being more polished than a typical sports bar. One feature that sets The Goat apart is its coffee-and-breakfast concept. The coffee, breakfast, and work area is separated from the main restaurant and resembles the kind of modern, uncluttered coffeehouse you might find in a contemporary hotel or airport lounge. It creates a welcoming space for morning coffee, breakfast, or remote work before the lunch and dinner crowds arrive. After my visit, I learned that The Goat is operated by LC Hospitality, an Ohio-based company that has expanded the concept to several states. The Brier Creek location is one of multiple Goat locations, giving it the feel of a locally focused establishment while benefiting from a larger hospitality organization. Overall, this was a good experience. The food was enjoyable, the atmosphere was inviting, and the prices were reasonable. The combination of restaurant, tavern, coffeehouse, and social gathering space makes for a unique dining environment in the Brier Creek area.
