Please do not patronize Creek Bottom Brewing…read more It is not a safe place for women or children. Creek Bottom is at the center of a local controversy involving a young man named William Ayers. In 2023, Ayers was convicted of child rape (carnal knowledge of a child) and abduction. He was released from prison last year, back into our community. Upon his release, Creek Bottom Brewing began employing him to work in the brewery--as a known convicted child sex offender. In February, while working for Creek Bottom, Ayers was arrested AGAIN for ANOTHER sexual assault, strangulation, brandishing a firearm, and abduction by force. It got a little media attention as the "Valentine's Day Rape." Recently added to his list of charges is possession of child porn and sexual abuse of an animal. Where does Creek Bottom come in, beyond offering a job to a known child sex offender? William Ayers' parents are the owners of Creek Bottom. They made the choice to employ him at their brewery, along with their many young women employees and the families who visit the restaurant. Our dollars spent at the brewery unwittingly went directly towards Ayers' paycheck. Many community members feel that Creek Bottom's owners have made horrendous decisions that endanger our community by choosing to have their son employed at the brewery, and by supporting/enabling him in other ways. It is readily apparent that Ayers' parents employ pricey high-powered out-of-town attorneys to defend their son from his charges. (Courtroom interactions between those attorneys and the father of William Ayers reinforce this, with the attorneys pulling Daddy Ayers aside for extended conferencing before making motions.) A couple of days ago, Ayers was offered bail set at $900,000. That means that if his supporters/enablers come up with a $90k bail bond agent fee, or $900k on their own, Ayers will AGAIN be released into our community. All of this is a matter of public record: past convictions, state sex offender registry that showed Ayers working at Creek Bottom until his latest arrest, ownership of Creek Bottom, recent charges, and ongoing court case with private legal defense. All members of our community can and should make their own INFORMED choices here. Sending your money in Creek Bottom's direction could literally help lead to this individual being released into our community once again. Endanger the wealth that is supporting him, and we may be able to make a real difference for community safety. Please don't unwittingly contribute to a William Ayers legal defense fund or to bailing him out to walk among us again. If you see fit, stand by us in this effort.

The second story offers seating with views of the New River and dam. Classy, simple decor and excellent, friendly service, and the Mexican-style food was wonderful.

The food at the Galax, VA location was really very good. The service, however, is another story…read more Arrived at about 7:40. Waited a few minutes. The waitress came out and got our drink orders and delivered them fairly promptly. She said just to let you know it will be about 25 minutes before you get your food. There were 4 people in our area. Over an hour passed before the food came out... Missing the French fries. We had to go and locate the waitress twice to tell her we had not gotten the fries They still didn't come out. In about 30 minutes they finally arrived after asking twice. They were fresh and hot so obviously they had not been cooked 30 minutes earlier. Offered dessert because we had to wait so long. We took it but around 25 more minutes before it was delivered. Not great at all. Brownie obviously old and dried out. Waitress told us there were 3 cooks in the kitchen. Not sure what they were doing. We watched the second half of the Arizona v somebody game and the first half of the Duke v Virginia game. You just can't make this stuff up. Maybe worst service ever!

The buffet was tiny and overpriced for what they offered. The food on the buffet was of the lowest quality. While some of my party was ok with it, because they were so hungry, a couple of us decided to try our luck by ordering off the menu instead. As we sat and watched the rest of our party eat, we waited and waited. After about 35 minutes, our waitress who was also very rude, finally brought out the food we ordered, but the order was wrong. Not only was it wrong, but she tried to argue and tell me that I ordered something I would have never ordered because I can't eat it. To top it off, the side dishes she brought were empty and when I asked why, she took the empty dishes and filled them from the buffet!!! Shortly after we left, those who are from the buffet started to get ill and were sick the rest of the night. Lucky for me, my food never came or was corrected so I didn't actually get to eat but I did have to argue with the waitress to have my portion of the check removed, but at least I didn't get sick like everyone else. This place is a disaster. Avoid it at all costs.
