We stopped by Barley Burger on a weekday…read moreafternoon for lunch while traveling through Rocky Mount.. we tend to stop in Rocky Mount frequently when driving I-95 up the East Coast. This restaurant is in a strip shopping center and in the area of local hotels. We were seated near the bar which was a nice booth with raised barriers between tables which made conversation easy. Our server Kaydi quickly came over to offer drinks, an energetic tone, a positive smile, and the refreshing Southern "yes ma'am/sir." I got the Blues Brothers Burger with sweet potato fries, a very tasty lunch, and filling. We were offered to-go drinks, a cordial touch. Pricing averaged about $25 per person, a very reasonable price for the value delivered. Overall, we will certainly be back the next time we're driving along the east coast. I hope we're lucky enough to meet Kaydi again, as she's an asset to this establishment.

I originally didn't think I'd finish this salad but it was really fresh and delicious. Very low carb meal. Next time I might try chicken instead of burgers. Husband had the Rocky Balboa burger and a side salad instead of fries. He was a little disappointed in the small size of the burger but it was otherwise good (cooked medium well but not dry) and the salad was fresh. Service was friendly but server had a little trouble remembering if they had Guinness. I would expect the servers to have this information ready as they serve primarily burgers and BEER, ya know. It was an early Fri nt dinner for us so not crowded or busy yet. Noise level was moderate and we could still talk without raising our voices.

The next morning, we stopped by River Walk Coffee Co. for lattes, refreshers, bagels, and breakfast treats before heading out.

We walked into this establishment and was immediately met with attitude from the bartender working that night. We were a group of 10, so maybe she was frustrated, but there is zero excuse to have an attitude towards people who came to spend $. Before I get into this review, I would like to point out that we were sober walking into this establishment. No sketchy or rude behavior. Just a group of professionals that went to HS together and wanted to catchup over drinks! She immediately told us that she wasn't going to answer any question about what was on draft and that we should just look at the signage, I witnessed her throw a menu at someone, I witnessed her interrupt our service to serve to newer customers, I overheard her tell a couple, she'd be with them as soon as she was done with "these" people (oh yes, she had the tone you're imagining), and finally, she made a loud announcement when someone in the group's card declined (0 discretion). I was at the end of the line waiting to be served and after hearing seeing all of the above, I was highly upset and told my classmates that I would be outside waiting for them because I was NOT giving my $ to that establishment. Many others followed suite. The ones that got drinks, cashed out and thankfully you're allowed to take your drinks outside. I will NEVER go back in there. Maybe that there preference.

They sell a few snacks on-site, but the best part is that you're welcome to bring in outside food--highly recommend grabbing a pizza from the place right next door. The bartender was super helpful, giving us tips on where to grab food and even sharing info about upcoming events. The space has a relaxed, welcoming vibe and is set in a repurposed home, which adds a lot of charm and character. Great spot to hang out, sip some solid brews, and enjoy a casual evening.

But lift the lid just a little and you'll find a remarkable beer retailer with an incredible selection of rare and impossible-to-find bottles. Long story incredibly short...

Despite not being driven by a huge bankroll, the vibe is friendly and comfortable. The owner said everyone there is family, and we were treated like it. They are dog friendly with plenty of outdoor seating and gaming areas. Inside it have of an old school brewery vibe that screamed "we are about the beer first". The beer list was not large, but it was quality across the board. I did a flight and then a full pour of my fave, which was Fat Albert, their Scottish Wee Heavy.

The spacious Deck is one of the best dining venues within miles. It's peaceful, scenic, bucolic and relaxing. Service is friendly and the dishes we have tried were well-prepared, innovative and delicious. The Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce ($21 with two sides) was as good as any I have had. The thick loin was pleasantly crunchy with a quick burst of tangy flavor. The inside was juicy, flaky and tender. The Roasted Mixed Vegetables were slightly undercooked, allowing the flavors of the Carrots, Cauliflower and Broccoli to stand out. The Potato Salad was OK, but I would have preferred something more zippy and zesty. The Chicken Salad Sandwich ($8.49 with one side) was smooth and creamy. The Toasted Multigrain Bread and Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing transformed this basic stand-by into something special. The Pasta Salad was a real winner. Unlike most bland pasta salads I have had, this one was nicely seasoned and brimming with flavor. We finished the evening with a generous slice of Cheesecake ($6) with a sweet but tangy Raspberry Jalapeño Sauce. Lunch with a grandson on the deck was a lot of fun for everybody. He had the Kids Meal ($6) which included a Hot Dog (he wanted it plain, of course), Bottle of Gatorade and Chips. We enjoyed the Pastrami Burger ($16.49 - with thin-sliced seared Pastrami, Cheddar Cheese, sliced Onion and Thousand Island Dressing) and the Hawaiian Burger ($14.49 - with grilled Pineapple, BBQ Sauce and Cheddar Cheese). The 1/3 pound burgers were served on a fresh Brioche Bun and included One Side. We can recommend either burger, but the one with Pastrami, was truly outstanding.
