Our cups never ran dry. I had the hamburger and crinkly fries. They have 3 different meats that make up the patty. It really was a good burger without a weird flavor. My husband had the rice, chicken and broccoli. He said it was great. They used a different seasoning on the meat. Their tea is fresh and flavorful. Thanks for making our lunch a nice one. Pretty building inside. read more

Went on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. Was seated immediately but waited about 10-15 minutes before a server came to our table. Atmosphere was good, wish it had been warmer to sit outside. Now about the food!!! OMG. Best dinner I have had out in a long time. I got the stuffed chicken with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The chicken was perfect, great flavor, cooked perfectly. We also had the teriyaki bowl and country fried steak which were so good. 5 stars for the food, the service could have been better read more

Always great food! We especially love the over-sized pretzel appetizer -- enough for the whole table to share! This is our favorite restaurant in Cherokee, by far! Expect a wait during busy times or with a large group. read more

Food is served quickly and is pretty tasty! My only gripes were our service wasn't the best, our server never came back to refill waters or check to see if we needed anything. Also there is no cell phone service there and even though they have Wifi, they won't give the password to customers?? Lol kind of weird. But the food is good read more

Excellent place. We were very pleased with our meal, as shown by our plates I took a risk an order a root beer cider. Hmm it did not work so I order a side of vanilla ice cream and convert it to a Spiked root beer float or black cow The cider was paid by a generous young man who was waiting before me and he order for me - I will pass it forward. We shared grilled trout, Brussels sprouts, and wedge salad. All delicious. A busy palace which recommend when in Cherokee read more

We stop here on the tail end of a family trip taking the long way home from Gatlinburg back to Charlotte. They were busy but we were seated quickly in their outdoor dining area that was nice and open. Our service came over quickly and answered our questions. He was friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the coconut caramel beer and my dad ordered the Swamp Water stout. We also sampled the vanilla cream and oatmeal porter. All of the beers were great. The vanilla cream tasted like cream soda! We also ordered the bruschetta appetizer which was delicious. My parents split the nachos and I ordered the bourbonzola burger. The nachos were perfectly layered with toppings. The burger was fantastic. Kinda wish we lived closer but would definitely stop in again while in the area and plan to recommend Native Brews to anyone headed to the area. read more

Yelp was the way that we found this place. We wanted to eat fresh mountain caught trout. The pecan encrusted trout was absolutely amazing. We were seated with only a short wait at lunch time. The service was decently given. We shared the trout so that we could try the caramel apple bread pudding for dessert. It was also amazing. I would highly recommend this spot. read more

We have come here specifically to have the green chilie cheeseburger. They NEVER disappoint. I'm from the southwest ( New Mexico) it is hard to get a good chilie cheese burger even if you can find them. The staff were amazing and kind and efficient. GREAT place if your ever in the area. We have coming to Cherokee, N.C since our honeymoon and seen the changes. It's nice to know there still small independent places here away from the Casino that care about their clientele and can give them another choice to eat , have good time in the back patio and serve outstanding food. We'll be back read more

Had the grilled chicken wrap with one of the warrior brews.. great! Definitely will be back!

Terrible experience. Was sat outside on the patio. We waited about 15 min and still did not have anyone approach the table. Went up to hostess table and asked for someone to come take our order. Waited another 5 minutes and got up and left. Do better people read more

Nice place, the bartender was very nice. The food that we had was pretty good and the beer was excellent. Definitely will be back again.

Food and beer is probably a 3 star but the service made it a 4 star. The burger was pretty good. The pasta was very bland. We also had the brownie a la mode, which we received on the house because it was our daughter's birthday. The brownie was super yummy and gooey. The outdoor area is really fun and our little one was able to run around before the food came. read more

Beautiful and clean restaurant with friendly wait staff. Everything came out quickly and was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the peanut crusted trout with the shrimp florentine sauce.

The only thing this place has going for it, is its location. Some wait staff is nice but others are rude. For eg I wanted to check the gift shop out (while waiting for a table) and this worker was just in my way (blocking) fully knowing I'm trying to get in and only moved when I said excuse me. And then when my daughter wanted to join me in the gift shop to look at clothes he had the audacity to scream that kids are not allowed cuz there's beer in fridges at the gift shop. This man was a disgrace to the native welcoming culture & nature. On top of it all, the food is terrible and the beer watered down for a brewery. read more

Ordered fried Oreos for a dessert to go and I was completely disappointed! They had hardly any batter on them and were WELL done, even tasting of burnt in some places. We also waited 20 minutes and paid $8.55 for an order of them. This was at the Bryson City location. read more

Great food! The location is nice with plenty of parking. Service was excellent! Creamy Pesto Chicken was great.

Yum! Kristen greeted us with a cheerful welcome and continued the outstanding service throughout our entire experience of picking our on tap and lunch. I highly recommend stopping in post hike to recover with an awesome meal and drink. Thanks for the excellent service, food and experience! read more

I'm giving this place a 5 stars based on the fact that it's a brewery and not a 5 star high-end restaurant. The prices are reasonable, a bit high but it's in a tourist town and everything is more expensive these days. We ate inside as it was very cold. The outside dining looks like a nice option on a good weather day. Our waitress was great and very personable. Hubby started with a beer from their brewery, coconut ale, that was just all right. He prefers a darker beer but chose to try one of their brews instead. I had a "sex in the river" which was good but light on alcohol. Food was good. Hubby had beef pot roast which was flavorful and hearty on a cold night. The green beans that were served with it were excellent, thin and cooked perfectly. I had a garden salad and homemade chips. The portion sizes are big and I could only eat half of each. Our waitress asked if I wanted ranch with the chips. Evidently, I would be charged .50 if I ordered it afterwards. It was nice of her to ask. The chips (and all sides) were $7 but very good, worth it, and easily shareable. The salad was very fresh with a nice mix of greens, large carrots, red onions, cucumbers, and a lot of shredded cheese on top. Overall, we were very pleased with our meal. The service was quick and employees friendly. read more

Super hopeful with these other reviews but we didn't stay. Everyone working there had on a scowl and the people who did speak to is were rude. The server didn't give a flying flip about life. The places entire vibe was so off. We sat, ordered drinks and asked a question about a menu item. The server claimed to know for sure but there's no way he could have known without checking. He didn't care. Why would he? His entire being/essence was drab. We left in search of something better and we found it! Found better service, atmosphere and food up the road at a diner. *Just because they have a big parking lot and lots of space inside doesn't mean they understand hospitality. Cold and bitter staff inside. read more

Service was excellent, as was the food. Fun atmosphere, too. The manager stopped by to chat, made us feel very welcome.

The warrior brew is fantastic and well balanced. The staff is friendly and quick! The deep fried deviled eggs were pretty darn good! The location is in a prime spot. I can't wait to come back. read more

Beer was ok, some needed work. Some of the beers were flat but the flaming arrow IPA was on point. The food was much better. I had the Warrior Burger. I ordered it medium but it can out done. However, it was still tasty. Overall, decent quality and experience. read more

Excellent find in Cherokee! The menu posted on Yelp sounded good but the salad I had was even better than I expected. My wife loved the fish & chips as well. In fact that is what most of the people around where we sat had ordered. I had the Granny Smith Apple / Candied Pecan salad with salmon. Get this next time you are in town! read more

Meh, this place is fine. Be aware that the menu has a notice that they will not make changes to menu items. We had the giant pretzel which WAS large but nothing to write home about as far as flavors. The burgers and fries were also pretty mediocre. There are better burgers in Cherokee. read more

Yummy local spot, that hits the spot. Super plus, it's native and woman owned. Cousins and I dropped through for lunch on our way out from hiking the Smokies. It was a popular spot as the parking lot was quite full. The staff from seating to service was so kind and attentive. Someone was always checking in on us, or just making sure we were squared away. We decided to sit outside because it was a nice day and there were plenty of picnic tables with several outdoor games (checkers, cornhole, ring game). We played the ring game, while we waited on our orders. The food came out pretty quickly and we were shocked at the portions. The colossal pretzel was a good shareable size for three people. It also came with a super smooth beer cheese and flavorful mustard. Each of us ordered our own entrees and we were stuffed after sharing the app and our own meals. My cousin also ordered the warrior pale ale, which was nice and refreshing after our hike. It was a filling meal that was also tasty. At the end we all made a stop through the gift shop, which sold merch (tshirts, beer glasses, hats, stickers, etc) and 6 packs of a few of their local brews. You can even sample a few of their flavors on tap. We were hoping to bring home some shandys, but they hadn't gotten those bottled yet. Will have to come back when they do! Definitely recommend stopping through! read more

It pains me to post this. We had been here before and had great food over a year ago, I'm hoping reading other reviews that it was a fluke night. We were seated and it took a long time just to have someone come ask what we wanted to drink. It wasn't busy. We got our drinks and ordered appetizers. We got the "say what" which is the fried deviled eggs. They were so over cooked, the egg whites were hard rubbery. The flavor was great along with the bacon jam but the white of the egg was peeling in layers of rubber. The mushrooms were ok. We ordered what we thought was easy food. Salmon and burgers. Our burgers sat in the window waiting for well over 30 minutes. It looked like they prepare a lot of one type of food at a time and then move to another and do the same. Other tables were getting seated, getting food and leaving and we still didnt have food. We heard the frustration in the kitchen and then we were told the salmon was dropped and it was the last one so they were waiting on more to defrost. Meanwhile they were grabbing the hamburgers and fries/chips to bring us that had now been sitting there even longer. We cancelled the salmon and did not want the hamburgers that had been sitting for that long. The service was nice and I felt bad but they were very kind and said we didn't need to pay for the appetizers. She was very nice it just wasn't our night there. I hope the staff had a better night. Had the food not been sitting there waiting the whole time which was well over 30 minutes we probably would have stayed. The other reviews seem like we caught a bad night. That's why the 3 stars. read more

Great outside seating and excellent food. We really enjoyed the draft beers as well. We will definitely be back!

Food was decent, moreso ok. It really depended on what you ordered. The monte cristo was huge and tasty according to the person who ordered it. Another said the steak salad was delicious. It was Expensive in some areas as a side of Brussels sprouts was $7. Was kind of a letdown on the chicken wrap I received. Was expecting more flavor but I had to dip it in ketchup and mustard to really find anything palatable. My fries seemed old, squishy and not the most warm. Our waitress was also a bit of a letdown. I would say her name but that would require her to tell us what it was. The selection of draft beers were not that great in our groups opinion. One in our party asked if they carried any sours and the waitress very rudely and quickly said "no". We were all surprised by her quick and not so kind response that we all thought about leaving if it meant that's the kind of service we'd receive. I was going to order a beer but by the time I decided, she wasn't around and our food had already come out. Overall I would personally like to come back and try it again but the rest in our group said they don't want to. read more

Really cool place for some local beer and really good pub food. Service was on par and the inside had a wood feel. The beers they brew were limited and no IPA on deck so beer doesn't get a full 5 stars from me. Food was really good. The chicken served in a half pineapple was the highlight. But everyone at the table loved their food. Close to Fire Mountain trails if you're a MTB'er. Definitely a place I'd go back to. (Just brew me a good IPA and we'll be at 5 stars.) read more

Service was great and very reactive to fixing my burger temperature. The native lager was very crisp and refreshing.
