Veggie Burger and fried
Emily C.

This is a must-visit in Brevard. We got the Brussel sprout appetizer at the recommendation of our server (who was excellent) and it was delicious! I got the veggie burger and fries for my entree. It was delicious and very filling--I took half of it to go! You can tell all the ingredients are fresh and that everything is made there. The restaurant itself is cute and trendy!

Cody was our outstanding server for lunch today. Very friendly and polite and professional!!! Excellent food!! This is our go-to restaurant in Brevard. Highly recommend this establishment!!!

Wild Mushroom tart
Jan K.

The mushroom tart was delicious, and the K-pop chicken Sammy was yummy , 3 napkin , the hot spicy Sause was a little much .

$18 club sandwich. Not as large as described but tasted good
Steve R.

The food is always good and the service has always been good as well as for the ambience. It is a nice restaurant, but I would say most of the ambience has to do with the floor more than anything. I will admit that every time we return and stop in for a bite the prices have increased significantly not sure if that's because of labor food cost or who knows what but many good restaurants to end up going under because they price themselves out of the market, hopefully that won't happen here. An $18 club sandwich is getting up there as I heard another customer talking about their prices

If you're anywhere near Brevard, North Carolina and haven't eaten at The Square Root, you're seriously missing out--especially if you're a burger lover like me. I stumbled across this spot tucked away in a charming alley in downtown Brevard, and let me tell you... hands down, the best burger I've had in the entire area. I ordered their signature burger with pimento cheese, and from the first bite, I was hooked. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the house-made pimento cheese added this creamy, tangy richness that put it over the top. It was everything a great burger should be--bold, messy, and unforgettable.

Stopped here for an impromptu lunch on a weekday. We were seated right away on the patio because it was a beautiful day. (Both the indoor and outdoor seating are quaint with character). We decided to share a couple of appetizers instead of ordering full entrees or sandwiches. The ahi tuna nachos were delicious, the pork dumplings were very tasty, and teh fried green tomatoes were flavorful (though the breading is quite thick vs. some other place we've had them). Our server was very nice and responsive, also proactively bringing out drink refills for us. Definitely recommend this place.

This restaurant is down a very narrow alley, and parking is not allowed at the nearby door spots. You have to either find a spot in the street or at the end of the alley is a paid parking 24 hours a day lot. The restaurant is small and cozy, hostess and server both very good. Noise and lighting were perfect. Ordered a streak and Trout, one drink. Bill came to $130.00. No issues with anything.

Cranberry margarita
Miriam C.

This is by far the best restaurant I have been to in years. When we walked in, we were treated like family. I can't recall any business I've ever visited, that truly goes out of their way to make customers feel valued before they even sit down. We decided to sit at the bar and it was a fantastic experience. I had a cranberry margarita to start with and it was amazing. We started with a burrata appetizer with bread, grilled peaches, and a balsamic glaze. It was phenomenal!! Our bartender brought out a sample of the rabbit gumbo and we loved it. We shared the NC trout with pimento cheese grits and I was licking the plate by the end. I can't begin to describe how good everything was. We ended the meal with a beer that tasted like apple pie. Do yourself a favor and come here!

We went to celebrate a friends birthday. Very busy and crowded. Especially as it was sound 5;30. I did'nt expect it to be full that early. Drinks and food were great. Expensive to the size of the portions.

Such a cute place with some local history. We enjoyed dinner tonight and dessert. The drinks were amazing! Brenton was our server and was very attentive and knowledgeable. Ask for him when you come in but I heard the other servers and they were very hospitable too! We tried the fall seasoned beets for appetizer and dessert was the peanut butter pie. Their decorator made the pretty flowers! They made our night perfect under the sting lights at the patio! Bravo!

My cousin visiting in town with his wife.  They loved it  too!

Fantastic setting in the heart of downtown, outside seating was nice, the service was fantastic, our server had great suggestions and was prompt and friendly. The Blueberry fizz was tasty, Moving to the food, I had the side salad with chipotle ranch, fantastic flavor, the min course was the Hanger Steak, cooked to perfection and flooded with flavor. Overall a fantastic experience, highly recommended

If I could give this a higher score than 5 stars I would!…read moreOut of every place I've ever reviewed, this has definitely earned the #1 highest rating I could give. Everything about this place was absolutely exceptional. Starting with service! The woman that greeted us when we came in and took our order, is one of the sweetest ladies ever. I just kept telling my husband after each small interaction with her "oh my gosh I just love her". It's an incredibly warm and inviting space, and I wish we lived closer just to be able to experience that alone more often. But lord have mercy, the food? They knocked it out of the park!!! They have a huge menu with all sorts of stuff that you don't see super often. We got the Chicago dog, the BBQ burger, the sweet potato fries, onion rings, and a blackberry shake. Those sweet potato fries will have me dreaming about them until I can make my way back here. There's no amount of praise to do this place justice! All I can say is, if you haven't tried stopping by here for a meal, you absolutely need to!

Big credit goes to Corky's for serving Vienna Hot Dogs from Chicago on poppy seed buns! The cost…read more is a little more than what you'd pay for the exact same thing in Chicago, but you're not in Chicago! They also serve Italian Beef sandwiches, not exactly the same as what you'd find in Chicago, but big kudos for the effort. This is a good place, and they have good hours and are open everyday..

What a beautiful place to get some tasty southern BBQ. Opened in 1997 and purchased by new owners…read morein 2023, the food and atmosphere lend to a good ole hole in the wall. Overall: Quick service. Food was delicious. BBQ Pork on a bun sandwich basket, which includes two sides. Hot, fresh tender pork in the Eastern style (vinegar base). Fries were crisp and hot, hush puppies were crispy, sweet and had a hint of salt. Eastern brined vinegar pork was tender, juicy and filling. No need for toppings! Located on the turn into Pisgah National State park, Hawg is clearly a favorite, and placed in just the right spot to bring in locals and tourists alike. Even on the 4th of July with crowds surging there was plenty of room and plenty of good food. I opted for to-go and only waited for 15 minutes (at 2pm.) It was still delicious, hot, and fresh. The Eastern basket, as it was called, included a BBQ pork sandwich on a bun and two sides. The marinated pork and drizzle of extra vinegar was plenty to flavor this delicious sandwich. A side of their fresh fries and hushpuppies rounded out the meal. With plenty of BBQ favorites including Ribs, burgers, brisket, and fried chicken, a hearty, delicious, filling, and quick meal feels perfect after visiting the nearby Pisgah park and relaxing on the river in an inter-tube on a beautiful summer day. Also, visit Dolly's Dairy Bar across the way for a tasty ice cream treat or The Pisgah Tavern at The Hub for plenty of on tap ice cold drinks.

A lesson learned is that if you go to a BBQ restaurant and ask them if the BBQ is good. And they…read moresay the ribs are good, that's not a good BBQ restaurant because every BBQ restaurant is good at ribs. This was the worst beef brisket I have ever had. It was threads of meat doused in sauce before it got to the table. They replaced it with pork BBQ which was average, but not enough reason for me to come back. I went here years ago and forgot how bad it was.
