As a home brewer for 30 years (my dog is named Simcoe after a hop) i may be a little picky but i didn't find one beer i didn't like. I was very impressed. The food was amazing. Their desert we didn't need was amazing. When we travel back from Tennessee to South Carolina we have found a new brewery we will stop at. I wish they had a place we could eat with our puppy. But its find we will be back. Staff and customers were very friendly

They also have homemade desserts. We got the cheeseburgers, Philly cheesesteak, and kids pizza, and gyro. Everyone was very pleased with what they got. The sauce on the gyro was one of the best sauces. The Philly cheesesteak was perfectly done and full of seasoning. The hamburgers were thick and almost hard to eat because of the size lol! The staff was friendly. We ended up with a pie to go, which everyone said was very good.

The restaurant has open views of the kitchen which is cool. There are also multiple TVs throughout the restaurant which had the NFL Games on. Would definitely come back to try more on the menu and experience the nice hospitality!

Last night we ordered 3 cheese steak subs. Each one was ordered to be made differently. Not only was each sub perfecly made but they were delicious! So nice to find folks with such good customer service. I have been looking for a place that makes subs like this, and for us , these are the best in Murphy. Long ago I worked for years at a sub shop in NJ so I know how a sub should be made. I'm glad we found your shop and will definitely be ordering again! Thanks! read more
