Very garlic-y in the best way -chili cheese fries were good Only complaint: -my friend wasn't a fan of the brisket grilled cheese bc she said the brisket was a little too fatty and not the 'melt in your mouth' kind of fat, but 'chewy hard to swallow' kind of fat Overall good experience!

Devil's Backbone, like a good story, doesn't try too hard--and that's exactly why it works…read more We wandered in for an early dinner, the kind of stop you tell yourself will be quick and sensible. But the beer had other ideas. As expected, it was excellent--cold, confident, and clearly in no mood to be rushed. Everything was clean and orderly. The burger arrived and did not disappoint. Honest, well-made, the sort of meal that reminds you why you ordered it in the first place. My wife's brisket sandwich, meanwhile, was everything brisket ought to be--tender, rich, and just indulgent enough to feel like a reward rather than a mistake. Fries came alongside, hot and crisp, doing their job without complaint or ceremony. And then, on the way out--as these things tend to happen--we stopped at the bar. That's where we met Vance. What followed was less a quick cocktail and more a conversation with drinks attached. The cocktails were excellent, but the company made them memorable. Vance makes a great adult beverage. All in all, Devil's Backbone isn't just a place to eat and drink. It's a place where a simple plan quietly turns into a better evening than you expected.

Devils Backbone has more business going on in the warmer weather. We visited at Christmas. The main…read morerestaurant and gift shop was open. There were outside fire pits. During the summer, there are BBQ areas and lots of out door seating. A large outside stage has bands and entertainment. There is a campground and RV area with shared shower houses. The camping area is year round. The gift shop has outdoor colors (forest green, browns) tops and sweatshirts. The long sleeved t-shirts are $29. The short sleeved tye died shirts were my favorite. The restaurant has the "resident" stuffed bear. At the entrance. We were expecting a 15 min wait but were seated earlier. The menu has a beer and beverage menu. The dining menu has burgers, fries and vegetarian items. We enjoyed hot chocolate. Our friends had sandwiches and fries. I enjoyed the vegan chili. It was delicious. Spiral noodles didn't work in the Mac and cheese. The place wasn't crowded. I bet that the grounds would be crowded with guests during the summer.

We know this place all too well. We went here when this place was just the original small building…read more We come here every time we visit out to Devil's Backbone and its just a staple to always visit. The food and beer are pretty solid and facility is on point. The only issue that keeps this place from being a solid 5 is the customer service. Sometimes the servers are just not all 'there'. Either being super slow, not really attentive, or just not really caring, the training in this area is inconsistent. Overall, we know we'll keep coming out here for the good food and beer as that has always been a winner. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 3.5 Value of service to cost: 4 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Local vibe.

The brewery is huge, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space plus some outdoor games, which made it easy to spread out even though it was pretty packed. It never felt uncomfortably crowded, which says a lot. The night we went, they had live music with several artists performing, and for a $10 cover, it was absolutely worth it--everyone we saw was pretty good. Service was good, the vibe was lively but not chaotic, and it's the kind of spot you can hang out for hours without feeling rushed. If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely return.
