However, there was a misunderstanding when trying to get bocce balls. I thought that you had to pay $20 to use the bocce balls, but I wanted to edit my review to clarify that it is only a deposit that is given back once the balls are returned. As for the food, my Carolina Kettle Walking Nachos were also pretty good, although I would've preferred for a larger portion of nachos, despite being labeled as "walker" nachos. However, I came here with my mom's vegetarian family and my dog, and we were not able to sit together because there wasn't a lot of vegetarian options on the Back Porch menu, and we weren't able to sit inside because of our dog. I would suggest adding some more regular items that could be vegetarian to the porch menu, like pizza and salads. My family also paid $10 for a kids hot dog, it was just a hotdog and a bun with a side bag of potato chips. We thought this was pretty overpriced for what it was. I've been here before and have had good experiences and I hope to have more the next time I visit- we just won't bring our dog so we can eat from the taproom menu. .

They also have merchandise on sale, and feature plants grown from a local store! For my beer I got Beach, Please! Which tasted like an elevated Modelo - it was salty, sour (lime), and fruity (mango). I loved it! They have a great selection of BBQ and even better, they have a section on the menu called "Just a Taste", where you can order smaller portions to create your own sampler platter. I got the side of smoked turkey ($5) which was pretty good The 3 bones ($9) pineapple habanero flavored; they were generous and gave me more than 3 bones, and the sauce was actually kind of spicy but it was still flavorful and savory! And Jalapeño Cheese grits which were deeeeelicious! It was the perfect consistency and wasn't overly cheesy. The jalapeño pieces were diced so you were able to get some crunch in each bite. You order at the counter and they hand you a number. You're free to sit anywhere and they will bring your food out to you. They also bus the table for you, so you can get up and go whenever you're ready. They also have a patio that's dog friendly, and a restaurant side. I went right at 11 on a Wednesday and by 1pm they were full on both sides!

The building is quite spacious with separate taproom/bar area, dining area and ample seating. Some artwork adorned the walls on inside & outside of building. We tried to beat the dinner rush and arrived before 5pm on a Saturday. Business offers counter service ordering with table number/delivery. We ordered 2 sliced brisket plates [sides were baked beans & smoky potato salad and jalapeño cheese grits (heads up diced jalapeños are crunchy/raw) & mashed sweet potatoes], pulled pork sandwich w/chips & pulled chicken sandwich w/chips. Meals arrived promptly. Customers have choice of 4 sauces: spicy jalapeño (green), mustard bbq (yellow), spicy vinegar and sweet tomato. Husband raved about brisket and the kids enjoyed their sandwiches. Brisket is available until they sell out--and I would probably order brisket w/o raw onion topper. Staff were pleasant, friendly, efficient, and appear to take pride in their jobs. Down side is they do not offer french fries as a side and we didn't imbibe in adult beverages. Highly recommend you check them out!

Never mind Sierra Nevada or any of the other over popularized breweries. They're over priced and over filled. Go here. You can thank me later. And you WILL.
