    Fried Chicken Chimichanga

    Great Food! Awesome service. Stopped on our drive North. The place we intended to go was Closed. So a quick search landed us here. We couldn't be happier

    Let me begin by saying, I understand wholeheartedly that the pandemic is still in full force causing effects, but I'm being real nice with one star. I haven't been back in the area in about 10 years and heard about this spot from a friend. Needless to say, whom I now have a bone to pick with. Upon walking in, my party was taken care of right away. We were handed menus to order our food to go. The menus were filthy, old food and grease smeared, evident they hadn't been wiped down in a minute (no excuse, especially with the pandemic going on). We ordered One (1) Pollo Crema and One (1) Steak Crema with an order of Avocados. (Refer to the picture to see how the side order of Avocado was a bigger portion than the actual Steak entree) Once we arrived to our destination, we noticed how we barely had any portions, the steak and chicken looked inedible. I received the most runny beans I've ever encountered which also tasted spoiled. The chips were completely hard and stale. The upside about the whole ordeal were the alcoholic beverages to-go and the beautiful sunflowers out front. I will definitely not be returning, nor recommend this place to anyone. I got tired of cooking at home, but I see I will continue.

    Side of refried beans

    Wow!! Soooo good. Stopped here on our way back from a long road trip since it's right off of 85. The staff was so kind, restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. From start to finish, including sitting down all the way to paying the check was 25 mins. SUPER fast, the food was fresh and hot. To be fair, we ordered food as soon as they took our drink orders but still- very quick. I got the enchiladas banderas but one chicken, one cheese and one beef with a side of refried beans. My boyfriend got chicken faijitas for one. They brought out extra chips and salsa as well! No complaints and will definitely come back :) very reasonable prices. $12 for enchiladas and about $16 for faijitas.

    Enough said.  Pitiful.

    How is this even possible. Pitiful. A sweet tea or a lemonade as well. I don't care how good the service or food is. This is 2 strikes against you.

I've never experienced this before but was happy that we at least got our beer. My husband ordered an IPA and I got a flight (per usual!) I had looked at the website prior and while they list their flagship beers, they do not have a list of their seasonal offerings until you get into the brewery. I must say that I was much more impressed with the selection once we got there. We went outside to sit (it was a BEAUTIFUL day!) and were lucky enough to get a seat in the shade. The view was absolutely spectacular. If you love Buggs Island Lake (or Kerr Lake as this North Carolinian calls it), you will love this view. It's honestly the best part of this place. You can plenty of water, the bridge coming into Clarksville, and the train trestle. I must point out that you couldn't go wrong sitting inside in the AC either. It's decorated very nicely! We finally got notified that we were now able to order our food. We went to the window and let them know what we wanted. We were then given another buzzer that would let us know when our food was ready. (I'm a bit baffled by this process to be honest.) We ordered another beer. My favorite was the S'mores Porter (this was a seasonal option). Very tasty and VERY reminiscent of a S'more. My husband really enjoyed the Hazy Lake Day IPA. Our food was ready in the middle of our second beer. I got the smash burger and the hubs got the catfish bites. My smash burger was pretty good but the fries were just okay...they were not crispy...at all. Very floppy. They were warm though so at least that. The real star was the catfish. Cooked and seasoned perfectly, it was delicious. We also got some pimento cheese to go. It came with 2 packets of Stacy's Pita chips but I thought it was a little pricey for $8. Overall I was satisfied with the food, I will just try a different side next time. When it came time to close our tab, it asked if we wanted to tip, 18, 20, or 25% on our total bill. I only tipped on the beer since I had to get up to order my food and then go retrieve it myself as well...I did not mind doing that, I just don't think that's a procedure worth tipping. All of the bartenders were very pleasant. This really was a wonderful afternoon with friends. I probably won't come during the summer since I imagine it being crowded, but I will definitely return in the fall or next spring. I wanted to purchase a pint glass but they didn't have them. They only had the 5 oz flight glasses. Hopefully they will get some in the future! Ps. They do have a designated parking lot but it seems to get full fast. Not sure if you're allowed to park at the hotel next door or not!

They were nice enough to bring me honey mustard dressing for dipping. The kitchen seemed a little overwhelmed. It was quite busy when we walked in, but it was worth the wait.

Unfortunately, this one didn't quite hit the mark. The space itself is nice--plenty of seating inside and out, a private room in the back, clean bathrooms and even a stage where live music was playing during our visit. But the food situation was confusing. They have a full kitchen and menu listed, yet when we arrived, they were only serving food from a BBQ food truck/side business. Not sure if it was a staffing issue, a special event, or just how they do things on certain days, but it definitely wasn't clear for someone just passing through. Beer-wise, they had a decent range of styles, but nothing really stood out flavor-wise. Everything was just... okay. Not bad, but not memorable. Service was similar--there seemed to be only one guy behind the bar running things while the rest were tied to the BBQ setup. He wasn't rude, just not super engaged. All in all, this place was fine, but nothing WOWed me. With a little more clarity on the food, a stronger beer lineup and more upbeat staff, it could be a much better stop for travelers passing through, or even the regulars.
