My wife and her friend had a poor experience here last year and wanted to give them a second chance…read moretoday. We chose a quiet spot away from the loud fans on the patio. Service was quite leisurely, taking several minutes to receive water and then another several to place the order. We decided on the pimento cheese for the table, the seared tuna for me and the hot honey prosciutto flatbread for her. To drink I got the red flight and she got the cab. The wine was drinkable but seemed very much like table wine. Nothing unique nor worth the price. My seared tuna was good, her flatbread was incorrect with buffalo sauce instead of hot honey and the pimento cheese was forgotten. Several more minutes before the pimento cheese was delivered. They apologized and said they would comp 1 wine or a dessert. I had finished my tuna before her flatbread was delivered that came with some sort of buffalo-mayo sauce, still not hot honey which was the only reason she ordered it. When the bill arrived there 2 wine flights ordered. We wanted to like this place but we won't be returning.

Very friendly place. I didn't have any food, but the beers were all very good. Family friendly.read more

Couldn't eat the sandwich, it was awful. Service was terrible also. Had to order at the counter and pick it up at the counter - that's no service. Asked for a cup of ice so I could pour the canned Coke over ice; however, was told they don't have ice. Now how in the world do you serve mixed drinks without ice. Even had the nerve to ask for a tip - For What!!! Don't waste your time or money at this place.

Vetus Distillery is such a special find in Monroe! I absolutely loved their brandies--rich,…read morearomatic, and beautifully crafted, with layers of flavor that unfold slowly as you sip. They're smooth enough to enjoy on their own, yet expressive enough to elevate a cocktail with depth and character. But Vetus is about so much more than what's in the glass. The distillery itself feels warm and inviting the moment you step inside--a beautiful open space with a cultural, welcoming vibe that would make an incredible setting for a party or private event. Their cocktails, made with their own brandies and vodka, are absolutely delicious and thoughtfully crafted. Outside, the fire pit becomes a glowing centerpiece, its flickering flames casting a cozy warmth into the cool evening air. Sitting around it, drink in hand, makes for a perfect, relaxed experience that you'll want to linger over. They also now offer off-premise catering, bringing their spirits and experience directly to your event--an amazing option for gatherings and celebrations. What really makes the experience, though, are the owners. Their warmth and hospitality are genuine, and you can feel the passion and care they've poured into every detail--from the spirits they craft to the welcoming atmosphere they've created. You don't just feel like a customer--you feel truly welcomed. And if you don't live nearby, they ship to many states, so you can still enjoy their brandies at home. A wonderful Monroe discovery and absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back!

I rarely leave reviews and I am critical, but I love to see good people do great things. I was…read morevisiting from out of town for my son's college recruiting trip and stumbled upon this gem. Some of the finest brandy I have ever tasted. I could not wait to get back home and make a fig brandy old-fashioned. And I look forward to sipping on the brandy before bed tonight. Owners are amazing people and have a compelling story.

A little remote distillery in the heart of Indian Trail NC. Mom n Pop shop, truly a family affair…read morethough. Grandfather Doodle Sasser was the pioneer moonshiner and they made the business "legal". The GOAT Whiskey was superb. Tried it straight up, then with margarita mix- wow! Delicious. Next up, the REAPER. Hold onto your seat folks. As per our tour guide; 1 reaper pepper is used to make 60 bottles (if i'm quoting her correctly) so that gives you a hint how far that pepper goes and the heat it brings with it. Tried it straight up and definitely reminiscent of a night of spicy Mexican or Indian food... but wait! Next up was the Bloody Mary made with the Reaper and man! Sign me up. Dad bought a bottle for $29.95, big brother snatched up the last of the 1oz bottles for $1.95 to bring back west and I scooped up a couple tees for $5.00 each. What a steal and what a great family. Business has been around almost 2 years and during the height of the pandemic, they moved into the hand sanitizer business; shipping a ton to our women and men overseas/middle east. This distillery is breaking ground and needs to be in EVERY liquor store, and soon! Can't wait to come back, but in the meanwhile... follow them on facebook: @goatwhiskey, online at goatwhiskey.net and I will be flaunting my tee shirt back on Long Island.

We got a quick tour of their facility, they were still in the "move-in" stage but you can already feel that they will be a VERY popular spot once they have time to settle in. We bought a bottle after some delicious sampling and even got a tee shirt for just $5. Now that's a bargain!

The professionalism, hospitality, and creativity from the owner & staff was exceptional. It was an upscale experience, yet very affordable for what was included. Also Buff Dillard played his heart out on the trombone. He was a perfect addition to set the mood of this extraordinary event. I look forward to the next event at this fantastic location.

Lots of parking, no lines for food, and plenty of room to roam in the pumpkin patch. We grabbed a wagon and some clippers and found a pumpkin to cut off the vine. There are plenty of pre-cut pumpkins too if you'd rather just pick one that way (and take some cute pics). The wood-fired pizza was SO good and fairly priced. We really enjoyed the salsiccia pie, but all of them sounded delicious. And had to get a half dozen cider donuts for the road, obviously. I'm looking forward to returning when our kids are a bit older to try more of the family-friendly activities!

I absolutely love this set up even more than the last location! There is so much for kids to do here and lots for adults too. We picked our pumpkins for the season and considering the amount of people here, there were still many great looking pumpkins. The lines were too long for the donuts/food so I didn't get to try any but I am hoping to eventually try the cider donut in the future! Definitely bring your friends and family here to check out the Hall Family Farm. Side note- I know the Halls from many years ago and they are a wonderful family! If you see them around be sure to meet them!!!

Why Not An American Ark Review Aug 2026…read more Yes, we'll definitely be going back! A special shout-out to Primo and Jayla, who were working the horseback rides. They were both very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Of course, having two wonderfully behaved horses, Avalanche and Q, certainly makes their job a little easier--but they did a great job impressing the crowd! We had a great time and would definitely recommend visiting. One important tip: don't forget to bring a water bottle! It can get really hot out there, so staying hydrated is a must.

The parking was ample, the property was stunning, it's absolutely not like a zoo in the best way possible, all of these animals are incredibly happy-looking and thriving! We really were impressed by the "enjoy at your own pace vibe of the place",it's nothing fancy at all...it's a simple farm with beautiful scenery, no frills or fancy anything, which again, I think makes these animals feel safe and happy and like they're at home, not just entertainment for people to pay and come see. There are lots of dogs on the farm, they're all friendly and so social! There's everything from camels to zebras, llamas, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, horses, ponies, turkeys, pigeons, peacocks, etc!!! I mean the list really goes on. There's even cows and pigs, too!!! Honestly, this place was just beautiful and we can't wait to come back!! Our kids had a blast, it's cheaper to use cash here instead of card, there's no food, so pack snacks and a picnic and plenty of water. There is a pretty clean porta potty near the check in desk where you get a map and buy tickets, and then a sink outside of it as well, picnic tables, a playground, etc.
