We ordered some truffle fries and the jalapeño popper burger, and both were delicious. The beers were all fantastic, but J particularly enjoyed the pecan amber ale.

We enjoy visiting local breweries and decided to stop in at AFOG on a Sunday evening at 6:30pm…read moreafter calling and confirming their hours. The brewery was easy to find and we originally thought it was housed inside an old school building but later learned it was previously a health services building. In addition to AFOG, there are also residential apartments in the remaining adjoining part of the building. There is a large outdoor area where a birthday celebration was happening amongst a small group. We proceeded inside and were immediately greeted by Sam. She helped me identify the IPA options and i immediately chose their Millennial Serum, which is a hazy imperial style that I enjoy. We looked around a bit, snapped some photos and looked at their swag. I'm a big tie dye guy and I was happy to see they had a great selection of AFOG tie dye shirts in my size. We decided to sit at the bar while I enjoyed my beer and chatted about our day. We also enjoyed talking with Sam and learning more about the brewery. We learned they are soon opening their second location in Buchanan, Virginia. Great stop, we felt welcomed, the beer was delicious and I have a new tie dye that will remind me of our time in Roanoke.

Have I been here before? I'll let you be the decider of that. I've been here in all of its…read moreiterations: I've been to Katie's Pretzels when it was downstairs in the Piedmont Mall, where the now Dunham's Sports is. It was Katie's, and then Katie's moved upstairs, which granted that space available for Boscov's to move in and take reign of the Piedmont Mall once and for all. Until its eventual downfall in 2012. I guess it heard the end of the world was coming and decided to get on out before the going got tuff. Anyway, Dunham's doesn't really do it for me as pretzel joint. I've been to Katie's Pretzels when it moved upstairs into a little space on the corner across from Belk: my favorite location of them all in the Piedmont Mall. Here is where Katie's Pretzels really came into their own. I mean - WHAAT a location!! This ensured I would visit a part of the Piedmont Mall I would never have traversed otherwise. What even IS Belk ?! But all of the wonders of Katie's Pretzels could not have prepared me for what they would enact - and rightfully deserve - next: a name change. Monk's. Monk's Pretzels is a step into nirvana. Babylon. Pure, unadulterated bliss. A name change in conjunction with the name change of the Piedmont Mall to the Danville Mall. This is pure power, folks. This is as fine as it gets. Visit this place at once. 5 stars. Favorite item: orangeade. Medium please!

Staff do a good job of quickly dispatching pretzels to waiting customers, keeping the line short. Not that I frequent pretzel stands, well not in the US at least, but the last pretzel I bought at Auntie Anne's it had substantially more girth. Still the same buttery flavor, just half the size.

This was fine for my needs, and indeed I like places with a narrow focus, but it might come as a surprise to some. The space was minimal. I was a bit surprised to see bagels packed in threes; I was expecting to be able to pick them out by flavor one at a time. I was also a bit surprised that the cinnamon rolls their website promised didn't seem to be there, though a few other intriguing baked goods were on sale. Ultimately, I took some mouthwatering rosemary and sundried tomato bagels along with some plain ones for comparison, as well as a chocolate babka cake. The bagels had that bit of sourness that makes them worthwhile, and a nice bit of browning. The babka cake, which I worried would not have enough chocolate, delivered satisfaction on a per-bite basis. What I wanted out of my baked goods is pretty much what i got.

Repeat visitor here, for several meetings and events. The brews and the ambiance and family…read morefriendly vibe are the high marks for this establishment. They also have a private meeting room that can be reserved. Have always had friendly service at the bar. After many visits over a couple years: The menu offerings and their quality do not match the rest of the place. They have some good sandwiches, the burgers, smash burger style, are adequate and the twisted fries are very good. The Mediterranean Bowl is good and is a cool, fresh option. The "wings" are chopped up chicken thighs. Meh. Beer cheese is on many of the items; not everyone cares for beer cheese and a non beer cheese sauce option would be a good option for families with finicky littles. I will continue to visit for the events, family vibes, and drinks, hoping the food will improve.

We ordered a beer and decided on some food. About 25-30 minutes passed when we asked about our food. Someone brought it over and all of the food was luke warm. It was most likely sitting for a while. It's bbq. The ribs and brisket were smoked earlier and the beans and mac n cheese already cooked. A reheat should take 5 minutes. The food tasted good but would have been great hot. The beer was good. I wish the service was better.
