    Smaller place and it was busy which made us wait a little bit but I'm so glad that I did. Our server was nice and the service was fast. We started with the Loaded Bavarian Pretzel Sticks. They came topped with creamy queso & pico. I got the pickled jalapenos on the side. They were good. I was having trouble deciding what I wanted to get and asked our waitress Wendy to help me pick. She recommended getting the Blackberry Smoke Burger, which came with bacon, fried onion and a blackberry dijon jam, and subbing the cheese out for habanero cheese and adding a little yellow deli mustard at the table. While this would not have been my pick, I went with it and I am so glad I did. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I will come back again I am sure to have this again. I got it with loaded potato salad, which was also good. All in all, the burger was one of the best I have had in a long time and would recommend you stop by to get one too.

    Business Owner's idea of customer service
    Kristy B.

    We were in the area and decided to try out Misty Mountain Hops on our last day in town. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before we wished we had gone to Chester's for the 3rd time instead. It took a good 7 minutes to be acknowledged by any staff and seated. We really should have just walked out at this point and were actually about to do just that when one of the servers finally greeted us and showed us to our seats. Yes, it was a little crowded but there were still plenty of available tables and no real reason why we should have been kept waiting like that. This should have been a sign but we didn't heed it, so we spent the rest of our time there mostly waiting and being annoyed at how little our business seemed to be valued. My husband asked for a second glass of the wine he ordered and that took no less than 15 minutes to come out and he was left to finish his meal without anything to drink. He ended up leaving most of his food because he was so annoyed by the whole thing. The food itself was okay. Not terrible but nothing particularly good either, which made the delayed service even more aggravating. I don't like leaving negative reviews but some places just leave me no choice. They say you only get once chance to make a first impression and this one sucked, so we won't be back and would not recommend it. UPDATE: After posting my review and then almost immediately receiving passive aggressive responses from the business owner both on my review here and a different one through private message (see screenshot in photos) it became glaringly obvious that the two stars I had originally given this establishment were too generous. Seems I hit a nerve since I had the audacity to leave an honest review of my experience. If you can't take genuine criticism without becoming defensive rather than reflective, perhaps you shouldn't be in the hospitality business. To claim you "thrive on customer service" as you prove that your customer service is even worse than originally thought is laughably ironic. This owner denies my experience despite getting the day wrong about when it happened (see the date on the bill before you assume you know better than me on my own experience). They also claim I should have asked for a manager. I have no obligation to ask for a manager or do anything of the sort. I have the right to choose how to respond to bad service and my choice is usually to respond with an honest review and taking my business elsewhere. If they had any intention of "making it right," it should have started with taking accountability in response to my review rather than getting defensive and passive aggressive. Of course, like me, they have no obligation to respond in any particular way but the route they chose only confirmed that the customer service they claim to shine at is more delusional than anything else. I will have the "day I deserve" and you will have the rating you deserve. Thanks for bringing my attention to unwarranted generosity in stars. Adios! UPDATE TO THE BUSINESS OWNER: It seems that to you, someone expressing their genuine review of your establishment constitutes "bullying." I'm glad you "don't do bullies," but you also don't do good customer service, as evidenced by the negative reviews and the childish, unprofessional ways you respond to them. If you spent half as much time trying to improve your operations as you do being an arrogant prick in response to your reviewers, you might have fewer negative reviews to complain about. Not a great way to garner business or support, but I suppose you'll just have to learn that the hard way. Good luck to ya!

    Cluck n smoke sandwich

    Great place to stop when driving through Blue Ridge. Had a late lunch on a Friday afternoon and the place was pretty quiet. We were sat right away. Drinks and food came quick. The bbq chicken sandwich was really good. It was clear they change their frying oil frequently as Tater tots were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside and didn't have that old, burnt oil taste to them. Didn't charge us for our soda and refills were frequent and available

    Burger and tots

    Loved all the food, the atmosphere and the waitresses! We ordered the deviled eggs, SOOOO good!! My burger was amazing too, so much flavor! Highly recommend trying this place!

    Big chub and tots

    Six of us had a great lunch here. The place is loaded with concert posters throughout the bar. Some of us had been to some of the advertised events. Started the meal by ordering dry ranch chicharrones with cheese dip. Arrived at the table still popping from the fryer. They were delicious. We ordered the big chub, fish and chips, Cobb salad, and a burger. Everyone enjoyed the meals. I had the chub which was fried bologna with cheese on a brioche bun and tots. Our server was great and very friendly. Good lunch spot.

    After looking at various restaurants in downtown Blue Ridge, this one caught my eye with the good reviews and live music. Walking in, I noticed there were limited seats but was fortunate enough to be sat right away. I was greeted immediately, and because our server was busy she explained her situation which we understood. I ordered the blackberry smoke burger and the fried deviled eggs. I asked for it to be brought out together and it was so good. I've never had deviled eggs like that and it's such an experience yall need to try. Everything was such a vibe and would highly recommend especially if you're a big local, live music fan!

    Fried green tomatoes

    I visit Blue Ridge with my family every year, and we were looking for a new spot to check out for dinner with no wait. We were recommended Misty Mountain Hops by a local and it was a great experience! There's a small parking lot as well as extra parking across the street in the evening. We were seated very quickly for our large 8 person party. I absolutely loved the vibes of this place, with tons of vintage decor and music posters. I had a local beer which was pretty good, and we ordered a few apps, including nachos and fried green tomatoes. The nachos were alright, nothing special. The fried green tomatoes were actually pretty good! For dinner, I had the Fire on the Mountain burger with a side of loaded mashed potatoes. The burger was so juicy and I loved the sauce it came it!! It was definitely fire. The mashed potatoes were fluffy and delicious as well. Overall, loved Misty Mountain Hops and this will definitely be a new spot to return to in Blue Ridge!

    Is this place dog friendly? Is there outside seating?

    When we were there in the fall there didn't appear to be outdoor seating they have a very small parking lot. They were so laid back they probably let you bring the dog inside. Well maybe not, but they probably would if they could.

    Well I apologize for the very long delay on submitting this review. Yanno life gets in the way…read more.. Anyhoo, this place.... Wow... Really really enjoy this establishment. Not only it was on my birthday in which we celebrated. But our excursion to the mountains for the long weekend was a fantastic time. As you can see through the pictures we really went all the way my dish was as abundance of seafood that you could have with an amazing cioppino sauce that was also soppable with crusty garlic bread. The beverages were on point, they have a great menu of bourbons. Will not disappoint. As a surprise they gave me a flourless chocolate Bundt cake to take home with a candle. Being with the family is always a warm unforgettable experience. There is something to be said about being surrounded by people who care and love so much. I'm in bliss. Until next time ...

    We recently visited Whiskey and Water Seafood and Bourbon Bar and had an overall enjoyable…read moreexperience with a few standout items. For drinks, the Sweater Weather was the clear winner--well-balanced and thoughtfully crafted. The combination of Bulleit rye, La Pommiere Calvados, and sorghum created a smooth, seasonal cocktail with nice depth. The Properly Poached was decent but didn't quite impress in the same way; the Brugal Añejo, pear liqueur, dark wildflower honey, and pink salt made for an interesting profile, though it leaned a bit flat compared to the first cocktail. We started with the broiled sweet crab dip served fondue-style with pita chips, which was a great opener. It was warm, creamy, and rich, with good crab flavor that made it easy to keep going back for more. For entrées, the blackened mahi fish tacos were fresh and flavorful. The mango pico added a nice brightness, and the cilantro crema tied everything together nicely on the corn tortillas. The smash burger was another solid choice--juicy double patties with melted American cheese, crispy onion rings, house sauce, and house-made pickles that added a great tangy crunch. Service was ok waitress took a bit to bring the drinks and then the food took about 30+ minutes luckily we were entertained by talking to locals that we really weren't concerned. Overall, the restaurant delivers a pleasant upscale-casual dining experience with well-executed comfort favorites and creative cocktails. Definitely worth a visit, especially for the crab dip and the Sweater Weather cocktail and the fish tacos those were my overall favorites. Prices are mid range. Note that the restaurant as most restaurants in the Blue Ridge close early.
