Wow, this place has grown since I was last here about 8 years ago. The weather was amazing on a…read moreSaturday afternoon, so parking was difficult/non-existent in their lot. There are a good number of spaces, but it was just that busy. There's also street parking available close by. Lots of seating both inside (two separate rooms with tables) and outside. There were 3 bartenders working and they kept the line moving at a decent pace. The beer menu has grown quite a bit, and I was surprised to see the number of brews available. I went with half pours of a gingerbread type stout and their pickle lager. I liked the gingerbread as it had good spice flavors to it, and the lager was alright--light with a hint of salt. If I lived closer, I'd be back.

This brewery opened in March but due to the pandemic had to do a 'brew-thru' for a little bit until…read morethe taproom could finally open back up. We decided to make the trip to downtown Lillington to check it out. Belleau Wood is veteran owned. We started off with a flight which comes with 5 choices for $15. We chose the underrated (an amber), mica (an IPA), hop solo (a pale ale), cacackalacky (a lager) and no name (a tropical stout). I'm not a huge fan of ambers or lagers but they were both really good. I love IPAs so I had to go with the mica for a pint next. If you are hungry there are snacks available or restaurants that will deliver. It sounded like they are brewing up some really tasty beers so I can't wait to check them out again.

I enjoyed my Belleau Wood brew today, it seems they have a couple new ones and also guest taps!…read moreI've been several times and the beer is usually so-so. Unfortunately, there's never anyone here. It's definitely a coffee shop that has beer and not the other way around. If you're looking for good beer or a lively spot, this isn't a great choice. Lillington options are very limited for good beer drinking!

Heckler Brewing is a great local brewery, and it's got an excellent vibe to it. The staple brews…read morethey have are definitely respectable and especially the English IPA. They don't have an overwhelming draft or canned menu which to me is appreciated. I don't mind choices however when you have a craft beer menu that's deep it can be quite daunting. So to the Heckler crew, thank you for keeping it simple. This visit I had the Fried Pickles which if being honest were good but they're not the best I've had. If I could give a recommendation I would move away from the breading that's being used as I feel it takes away from the actual pickle which for me is about 90% of the taste profile. The breading was a bit overpowering. Sometimes simple is better. But that's just my opinion as a fried pickle enthusiast. Now as for the pizza, I have to give a solid high five. I've been here three times and everytime I've gotten a pizza and none have disappointed. This time around I got the meat lovers and it was fresh, and delicious. Overall, Heckler is a great place to go and one thing I do love about this place is that it's always a chill vibe, with great service.

Wanted a good lunch before catching my flight back home and I came across this place…read more It had been a tough few days and I needed a drink. This place was just what I needed before leaving Fayetville. The bartender was so amazingly sweet & attentive. The place is clean, and has a low key, casual vibe. It was around lunch time when I arrived and took an empty seat at the bar. I was promptly greeted and when I asked for recommendations, the bartender was very knowledgeable and I LOVED her recommendation, the pomegranate cider. I sat and enjoyed my drink taking in the vibe and conversation from locals that joined the bar. Finally, I ordered some food: The Patriot Burger. I opted for chicken for the protein and nixed the cheese, because well, my body hates it. Yes! It was as delicious as it looks in the picture. It was accompanied by a good helping of fries that were served hot, hot, hot! If you're feeling down and need a good drink in a great place before you go on with your day, come here! If you're hankering for a good burger, a beer, great service, and great casual conversation with strangers, come here! Thanks Gastons Gang for raising a Texas Gals spirits! Cheers!

They've got a smaller selection of craft beer, but it's still delicious. I did a flight and tried their two lagers, the lavender ale and their porter. Porter was super light not really heavy at all. Has a small coffee finish. The lavender ale actually really surprised me. It was delicious but my favorite was by far that velvet blackberry lager. Just absolutely amazing. Their liberty lager is super light. I would compare it to the equivalent of maybe a Miller light. We did order food. My husband got the chicken wings. They come in an order of six and he got the lemon pepper rub. He really liked it. He said the rub was a little sparse on some of the wings, but overall it was good. I got the pepperoni, hot honey flatbread and really enjoyed it. The pepperoni is the nice cup of pepperoni that curls and the hot honey gives a nice balance with it. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. We sat at the bar and the bar was kind of a disaster. I'm guessing they must've just come off of the dinner rush because we didn't arrive until around 8 o'clock.

No gimmicks, just good beer done right. Food held its own too. The wings came out crispy (as they should be--no soggy situations here), and the fries were hot, fresh, and exactly what you want on the side of a cold pint. What really makes the place though is the vibe--friendly, easygoing service that feels like they actually want you there. The kind of spot you could casually become a regular without even trying. Nothing over the top, just consistently good across the board.
