My parents rode down from Waynesville to come see me on my birthday, and knowing them as well as I…read moredo, I knew they'd want to go out to eat. They are both foodies and enjoy trying new places, as they take us out to a new place they've tried every time we go to Waynesville, and there's always a lively discussion about the experience afterward between them, and my husband and I. It's always fun, even if it's not good. We haven't lived here long, having moved from the Richmond area of Virginia, and we haven't had a chance to go out much. Yelp! To the rescue! Tap houses always seem to be a hit when we're all together so that's what I looked for, and here is where I landed. It checked all the boxes; beer, burgers, great pricing, and plenty of room. We came in the early evening because they still had to drive home, so we allowed ourselves plenty of time. There was no wait and we were seated in a very roomy booth, and my toddler was given a very clean high chair that fit perfectly at the table. We all got something different from the menu and shared our food, and I quite enjoyed the wine! Out of the 5 adults and a toddler, there were zero complaints about the food! The service was also outstanding! Our waitress was very attentive and helpful without being overbearing or hovering - not a single drink ran out, and that's a big one for me. The atmosphere was also great! I've gone to a good share of tap houses and despite them being amazing, they're not always great to take a little one into...that was not the case here. The time of day probably had something to do with it, since it was early and not really "drinking time" yet, but there were people at the bar having fun, and music was playing, but it wasn't overwhelming for her, which is awesome. The other customers were also pretty laid back. I've spent years taking kids to restaurants and there's almost always someone irritated nearby, giving dirty looks because they don't want to hear loud laughter or be around even well-behaved children - there was absolutely none of that here, and it did my heart good! In short: if you have family in town, or if you just want to go hang out, have a good beer and some delicious food without going bankrupt, and listen to some music, this is your place! The staff is wonderful, the place is cozy, the music was good, and you can comfortably have a good time with a larger group.

Traveling in a business trip and starving is never good. As I was passing through the area, Yelp…read morebrought me to Dallas Tavern. It was mid afternoon with a small late lunch crowd. Ordered wings and loaded fries. Not sure I would call them loaded as they come with bacon, cheese and scallions. On this day, they came out with cheese and bacon. I had to request the scallions and they were brought out in a small cup. The fries were...ok, not HOT. The wings..definitely crispy however most were missing the dry rub and had feathers all over them. Being a major wing fan, this may have slowed my roll with ordering wings anytime soon. My advice to the restaurant. 1. Source cleaner, higher quality wings. 2. Up the game on the loaded fries, more ingredients and make sure what's included is on the fries...deliver them HOT. 3. Have salt and pepper on the tables.

Jade was kind enough to give me a brief tour of the old homestead built wayyyy back and introduced me to several regulars along the way. I made other new friends playing at the pool tables next to the outside dining/party area. It's getting a little chilly now to hang outside but I've been told it's a great place come summer time. Of this I have no doubt. I look forward to visiting again as seeing all those friendly faces for the holidays.

Just ate at The Pickle "Bistro" and Bar…read more It's not a bistro', it's a bar, with just bar food. Not what Yelp says. We ordered a hamburger with pickles and were told the don't have pickles. Not that they were out. They don't have them...... The Pickle doesn't have pickles for sandwiches. If you like to drink and play pool, this is the place for you. I gave it an extra star because some clientele might like it.

It's not a terrible drive from Fort Mill, SC, about 45 minute on a Sunday afternoon. I was able to park right in front of the Venue and my ticket was waiting at will call. A smooth and easy check-in and I was able to talk to Todd before the show. I've seen him several times when he collaborates with other musicians but this was the first time solo. He played a mix of originals and covers. After several songs others joined him for several songs. They were all great on a Dave Mason original, Feelin Alright. Many know the song from the Joe Cocker cover. The band was great, Todd with some great guitar licks and a lead riff, the bass player was laying the line, the drummer on time and the keyboard player, Bazz The GranDude, with a nice mini-solo. Very impressed with the lady on the mixing board. She was out front on her iPad and got the vocal & instrument mix solid. It was a fun time and I hope to return before the summers done.

We did find the brewery just a short way up. It's a fairly large brewery. It was quiet as they had just opened and they had plenty of board games and seating. Seems like it was a very laid back brewery that would be great to come in to just chill. We ordered at the front and then sat ourselves. We got a flight and also ordered a Hawaiian pizza. The beer was pretty good, we really liked the Smores Brown and the pizza was delicious. Service was friendly and fairly quickly and we loved that it was dog friendly inside. Would recommend!

One downside was learning that pets are not allowed inside--even though they don't serve food--which is always a bit of a letdown for us. That said, Luna was welcome on the outdoor patio... unfortunately, it was about 20 degrees outside. We didn't let the cold ruin the experience, though. They have patio heaters and warm drinks available, which helped a lot. We grabbed comfy outdoor chairs right next to the Christmas tree, and the setting was really nice, especially with the water view just steps away. It never got overly busy, but there was a steady flow of people coming and going, which gave it a relaxed, lively feel without being crowded. We both ordered the Hardywood Gingerbread Stout (9.2% ABV), which was their only holiday beer available at the time--they mentioned they had another seasonal option but had already sold out. The beer was pretty good, though definitely strong. We actually left to check out the only other bar in town, but it turned out to be closed, so we circled back to The River Room for another round. Two gingerbread stouts came out to $14 total which felt very reasonable. They do charge a small membership fee (around $1) since it's a private club, and we were told that fee goes toward animal conservation, which is a nice bonus. Overall, despite the cold and the indoor pet restriction, we really enjoyed the ambiance, holiday decor, and relaxed vibe--and would definitely stop back again when the weather is warmer.
