This is a rare 5 star review. They just did everything very well. Specifically, the Ahi Tuna Nachos obtained a level f perfection not normal found at breweries. The portion was ample, the blend of ingredients and balance of the sauce was on point. The "nacho/s" , ie fried wontons, were crisp and not greasy. Seriously the best tuna nachos ever. The fish and chips was solid. Perfection in the batter and frying The beers were executed exactly as their styles were meant to be read more

Spent the afternoon walking Main Street in Waynesville today. Topped the day off by stopping by Boojum Brewery for a beer and dinner. They have an amazing selection of brews, really whatever you're thirsty for - lager, ipa, Oktoberfest, etc. and the menu was impressive too. He had the fish tacos and I had the Cubano sandwich. We both very much enjoyed our meal. That was the best Cuban sandwich I've had in a long time. We sat at the outside bar and had a relaxed meal and conversation. Our server was engaging and friendly and offered her spot-on input on brews and menu choices. We would definitely come back! read more

We shared the beet salad and while I did like it, I do think that they needed a bit of the good stuff - more beets, more goat cheese. But it was very good quality but more of an arugula salad with toppings. The reason for the 5 stars is that So Gouda Chicken! It's the kind of meal that you're still thinking about the next day. So crispy and crunchy mixed with the rich sauce - Yum! Served with mashed potatoes and some collards to cut the richness. Delicious! We sat a bar which was comfortable and cozy. Bartender very knowledgeable and friendly. read more

This is a great spot for families with good beers and good food. It's kid friendly as well. They had a beer special that was a birthday cake beer and it tasted like birthday cake. I've never tried anything like it. For dinner I got the steak teriyaki bowl. It was very good although it was more of an American style teriyaki bowl it was still very good. I like this place a lot and this is my second time visiting this town and this restaurant. Highly recommend if you are traveling with kids. read more

Awesome little restaurant in downtown Waynesville. Glad we stopped when we did because it quickly got busy. A good sign! We were seated right away and our server was fantastic. We had some picky eaters in our party and they were more than happy to make substitutions and swaps to certain menu items. My husband and I got the whistle pigs as an app to start. Holy smokes. I think this was a top ten appetizer I've ever had! The bites were crispy and cheesy and the perfect amount. I had the double cross cocktail and it was well crafted and delicious. Both beers that my husband got were also very good. My husband got the so Gouda chicken and I got the steak frites. Everything was bursting with flavor. The so Gouda chicken was rich and creamy. My steak was a little underdone but still good, and better than being overcooked. The fries were crispy and you could really taste the truffle flavor. We were both stuffed but couldn't stop eating. Our server was super attentive and so friendly. He even told us about Boojum, and that it's another name for Bigfoot (we had no idea!). Perfect location as well, as after we were stuffed from dinner we walked down to Kilwin's for a sweet treat. Fantastic experience and highly recommend! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and sat at the bar. Two TVs to watch football on. Good beer selection. Ordered the cookies and beans blonde. I got the smash burger and my husband ordered the fish and chips. Very good burger. Saved half for later. My husband liked the fish and chips as well. Bartender was friendly, fast and helpful. Loud and crowded but that's ok. Fun place to stop in for a beer. I love their salmon but it's not available until after 4 pm. Always fun and decent food. Will be back! read more

It's not a trip to Waynesville unless we come to Boojum at least once. This trip, we came twice in three days, and each time I got the beet salad. You might be thinking why a beet salad, and why twice. Well my friends, it is that good. I am a sucker for goat cheese and a good vinaigrette, and this salad hits on all of those points too. The walnuts add a nice crunch also. Of course my group does not come to Boojum for the beet salad. They come for the whistle pigs. Each time we come, the amount of whistle pegs that we order increases. You can't go wrong with a homemade pretzel that is loaded down with pimento cheese and bacon. That is a piece of heaven on earth. The wings are good also. We like to get them plain with sauce on the side, as not everyone in our group has the same tastebuds. We've sat at their big round table, the long table in the middle of the main room, in a booth in the main room, and outside at a table, and there is not a bad seat in the restaurant. Now, if you need to be close to the bathroom, that's located towards the back of the main section. You pay at the tables. Service is always on point. The wait time can be long, but just put your name on the list and pop across the street to another downtown establishment and scurry back when your table is ready. We love Boojum Brewing and always make this a stop on our annual Waynesville adventures. read more

Excellent beer! We had three and loved them all. The Cuban sandwich was very good. The chili was heavy on tomatoes and light on meat. Went back the next day and had the grits (cold, dry, and sandy texture), the red pepper soup (consistency of baby food, and not very good). I can highly recommend the beer and the Cuban sandwich. read more

Wouldn't recommend relying on this location to watch a game. Showed up to watch the MLB American League championship game at 1 PM on a Thursday and politely asked if one of the TVs next to my table showing MLB Network or ESPN 2 could be changed to the game on TBS. They refused and noted that they do not take requests to change the channels on the TVs. Would understand for a busy NFL Sunday, but every TV had a different muted daytime sports talk show on. Maybe you can roll the dice and get lucky if the game you want to watch is on ESPN 2 and you get sat at the ESPN 2 table. read more

Dropped in for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon. We were able to get seats as we arrived and we were greeted by our server and the hostess as we arrived. We had a cup of chili and some wings for lunch. The restaurant was clean ano our beers were delicious and cold. read more

Very cool bar and lounge downstairs. Good IPAs on tap. Very cool and friendly staff. Karaoke night was a hoot.

This was my go to in Waynseville. The place I send visitors brag about and can't wait to return to when I am in town. Last night it disappointed, so I am writing this in hopes management reads and responds. I had Ahi Nachos and the Pulled Pork Sliders to go. Both were WAY below the quality I had known from my numerous previous visits. Nachos were 90% chips and 10% nachos, the pulled pork was dried out and disgusting. I only realized how bad the sliders were when I got home. I mentioned the nachos to the bartender, who said nothing, just collected my plate and walked away. Uncharacteristic of this establishment. The beer here is good, but I can get beer anywhere. Please fix your kitchen problems, I want to start recommending this place to friends and family again. Sad to see. read more

Such yummy food! We had the Whistle Pigs. They were very good but probably wouldn't order again. Hubby had the hot honey chicken sandwich and omg so good! Crunchy flavorful breading but still juicy chicken! It was a nice large piece of chicken. I had the Philly cheese steak and the cheese was gooey, the bread perfect and great steak and veggies. We both upgraded to truffle fries and so glad we did! Yum!!! Server, Jessie was awesome! Beer was very good too! We have half leftover! read more

Let's start with the bad, because there's not a lot of that: prices are a tad bit on the high end, and service can be slow on weekends. That's literally it for the bad. If their service was a bit faster, prices were a bit better, or both, this would easily be a 5 star review. Now, as for friendliness: they're awesome. The food is exactly what you'd expect for pub food, and it's awesome. The atmosphere is awesome. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a bite to eat...just plan ahead or go on a day when they're less busy. read more

Great food and beer. Great servers. HOWEVER.....we have gone twice over the past 3 weeks and the hostesses seating us were not the friendliest people. We asked for a table instead of a booth(my dad has a bad back), before we even sat, and she wasn't friendly at all while we walked to a table. A different time and different hostess, we asked to be seated closer to the bar, again before we even sat down, and she could have put a fake smile on and pretend to be happy to show us to the bar area. It's a brewery as well, asking to be by the bar and beers isn't abnormal. It was 2PM and not busy and plenty of seats near the bar. However, the service after being sat was good both time. read more

We were on a day trip to Waynesville and found mostly good reviews. We were told we would have a 30 minute wait but it was only about 15. Once seated our order was taken quickly. Our drinks were delivered immediately. After about 20 minutes the waitress apologized that it was taking so long. They were busy and we weren't in a hurry. About 10 minutes later our food arrived. We both had the Beer Cheese Steak sandwich with fried green beans. It was all good. My beans were not very warm. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated. Little loud, but not too bad. I would go back and try some other items. read more

Good beer. Good Food. Casual atmosphere. Busy place. We came Sun night just after 7PM on Labor Day weekend and were told the wait would be more than a hour. Fortunately, we found some seats at the bar right away. For my beer selection, I went with the Blue Ridge Haze (NE IPA) and it was excellent. My bride ordered the Beet Salad with Salmon ($21) and she really enjoyed it. Salmon was prepared well and the citrus vinaigrette dressing was flavorful. I went with the Korea BBQ Tacos's ($12) and it was a good choice - really tasty. Service at the bar from Abe was attentive, prompt and friendly. read more

If I'm ever prepping my last meal, this will be its location...beer included...above bar food quality fare and many well made/thought out brews of varying kinds...exceptionally friendly staff...great vibe. I am not alone in this assessment...big draw for locals and visitors alike...it can get busy...recommend off hours, but their waiting arrangements are the best you could expect (pagers). Not many who don't fall in love with Boojum's. read more

Our first visit since we moved here - I could've hung out here when I was a younger man but could still make this a regular. Food was real good and Isaiah was a great tender. Can't yet give it a five until we try new foods, but the wings and pretzels were great! We WILL be back. read more

Beer is meh. But the food is great. And since it had reliable mid-day hours, I found myself back here more than once during my week in the area. My Airbnb check-in was surprisingly late in the day, and I needed something to eat and drink and somewhere to sit myself down between driving and hiking, and getting to my housing and putting my promised hot tub to good use... This location of Boojum Brewing was conveniently in the town I was staying in, and it was open at 2:30pm. You know...that weird not lunch, not yet dinner time where often, even in bigger towns and cities, restaurants close down for the afternoon. So that is what made the initial decision for me to stop in here. Parking is annoying. Hopefully you are physically capable of walking a bit of a ways. You may be lucky to find main street parking, but be aware that it is minimal, in high demand, and has a time limit. There are free public parking lots scattered around that don't restrict you on time, but you may need to hoof it a bit to your destination. I was a solo traveler and eater/drinker and, again, was visiting at a mid-afternoon time. I was seated right away, both times. Service was prompt and friendly. My first visit, I got a flight of beer and a couple appetizers. The pimento and bacon stuffed pretzel was...holy crap, so dang good. Like...wow! And the truffle fries, you can't go wrong. I also wrapped up with a pour of a guest tap cider. (Unfortunately, I don't love Boojum's beer, but I like that they have other local NC brews on tap!) My second visit, I got a lovely table outside to enjoy the weather and read my book. I got that same cider I ended up liking the first time, and since I had done a 7 mile hike, I indulged in that stuffed pretzel thing again as well as some green bean fries. I earned those calories! I would certainly return here again were I in Waynesville again! And you know that its true because I made a return trip in the same week on my vacation. read more

Food was amazing the salads were great! Beer was spot on had great service and pricing was fair for the portions!

Awesome place for a burger and beer in Waynesville. Bartenders were great and the place just has a great vibe.

One hour wait on a Sunday night but they said the bar was first come first serve. We sat at the outside bar (where I wanted to be anyway) and had a lovely experience. Waitress was great. They were out of the beer I wanted but she recommended a new raspberry saison that was fabulous. I ordered the pulled pork grit bowl. Fabulous flavors! Prices are reasonable, too. read more

Absolute star of a place. Waynesville is really up-and-coming. Actually it might be too popular even say that these days. I love this bar is large enough to have a ton of options and seating, it still gives that small town feel. The server we had was absolutely phenomenal. Very attentive and super friendly. Approachable and energetic, but not ever bearing. Their mimosa weekend brunch was super affordable and fun. Small mimosas but great ratio. I didn't get to eat because I wasn't hungry, but the menu looked amazing for vegetarian and nonvegetarians and most diets. Lots of local highlights. Really really love the decor of this place and vibe. Set an older building, it had beautiful wood and lighting. Great decorations and art as well. Definitely felt like a community space read more
