Lots of outdoor and indoor seating. If you sit outdoor, you have the food truck, if you sit inside, you get to listen to live music
Tyler R.

Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. If you sit inside you have live music, outside you have the food truck. It's a very chill, laid back vibe, but still very exciting. 10/10 would recommend

a pint of beer

The absolute best brewery in Fayetteville hands down. Best beer taste. Great location. Great staff. Family friendly. Dog friendly. Food trucks. Live music. 10/10

Tim Y.

Update: they have started brewing their own beer! This place is awesome! Owners here are super friendly! Continue to go here time and time again! Love their own beers!

I went there last night with a group of friends, and the bartenders attitudes were atrocious, disrespectful, and down right rude.

Best beer and hangout place downtown. They even have rotating food trucks to keep it new. I recommend Wednesday's when R Burger is there.

I honestly didn't expect this or anticipate the beer being this good. Recommend the porter! Good spot to grab a brew and unwind.

They've got a smaller selection of craft beer, but it's still delicious. I did a flight and tried their two lagers, the lavender ale and their porter. Porter was super light not really heavy at all. Has a small coffee finish. The lavender ale actually really surprised me. It was delicious but my favorite was by far that velvet blackberry lager. Just absolutely amazing. Their liberty lager is super light. I would compare it to the equivalent of maybe a Miller light. We did order food. My husband got the chicken wings. They come in an order of six and he got the lemon pepper rub. He really liked it. He said the rub was a little sparse on some of the wings, but overall it was good. I got the pepperoni, hot honey flatbread and really enjoyed it. The pepperoni is the nice cup of pepperoni that curls and the hot honey gives a nice balance with it. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. We sat at the bar and the bar was kind of a disaster. I'm guessing they must've just come off of the dinner rush because we didn't arrive until around 8 o'clock.

They don't have an overwhelming draft or canned menu which to me is appreciated. I don't mind choices however when you have a craft beer menu that's deep it can be quite daunting. So to the Heckler crew, thank you for keeping it simple. This visit I had the Fried Pickles which if being honest were good but they're not the best I've had. If I could give a recommendation I would move away from the breading that's being used as I feel it takes away from the actual pickle which for me is about 90% of the taste profile. The breading was a bit overpowering. Sometimes simple is better. But that's just my opinion as a fried pickle enthusiast. Now as for the pizza, I have to give a solid high five. I've been here three times and everytime I've gotten a pizza and none have disappointed. This time around I got the meat lovers and it was fresh, and delicious. Overall, Heckler is a great place to go and one thing I do love about this place is that it's always a chill vibe, with great service.

I may have one or two on my husband's phone that I still need to pull. Now, let me tell you...this place is amazing! And it was even better because our server was phenomenal. He gave us just the right amount of attention without us ever having to ask twice--or even once! He kept our drinks refilled and checked in to see if we needed anything else. That kind of service makes such a difference. The interior is unique and really cool. I especially loved the idea of hanging a full-size motorcycle from the ceiling. Definitely a great conversation piece! We had a party of five, and all five of us ordered something different, ranging from a chicken salad to tacos, hush puppies, and, of course, my Chopped Brisket Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I'm already drooling again just thinking about it! The brisket was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of seasoning. But let me talk about those sweet potato fries... THE BEST sweet potato fries I've had so far! They were crispy on the outside and actually tasted like sweet potatoes. I've had sweet potato fries at other restaurants that were soggy and tasted more like frying oil than sweet potato. These were completely different--crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I 100% recommend them! So, if you're in the Charlotte area, do yourself a favor and stop by Mac's Speed Shop at 2414 Sandy Porter Road. Great food, great atmosphere, and phenomenal service. I would definitely go back!

I think of them more as a burger or southern food place but they do pay special attention to the art of the que. Very few places smoke wings and most of the ones that do, the wings are amazing. Macs is no exception. If you're a wing person who likes layers of flavor with your wings then you won't be disappointed here. Pairs perfectly with crispy beer battered fries. The deluxe devils if they're still on the menu are really good...deviled eggs with jalapeños on top! I like their tacos as well. They have a brisket taco that really smacks and the shrimp taco hits hard too. Service is consistently good. As far as ambiance, it doesn't really get any points for style....nothing really says "hey we're a speed shop" like you'd see at Quaker Stake or other speed themed bars and restaurants. It's somewhat generic but that's okay. This is one of my go to places when I'm visiting Fayettenam.

This was the second time I came to this establishment. Thie first time around was good, even if 3 of the beers I wanted to try weren't available. This trip had a mission: create a new dish utilizing two separate dishes. In this case the Loaded Tots (bacon, jalapeno, sour cream and chives with beer cheese sauce on top of crispy tater tots) AND Mac-n-Cheese bites (fried and served with a spicy aioli sauce). The plan, a successful one at that, was to utilize the toppings from the tots, to cover the mac bites (see picture for results). This creation not only caught the eye of the bartender, Branden (great service btw) who tried my concoction and loved it. But then that of the chef (Al?), who then saw the new dish and was like "now I know". Sadly this isn't a dish that can just be added to the menu. But if it could, oh boy, watch out!! There's also great specials throughout the week, like Wednesday is $2 Off any draft beer. Thursdays offer a discount to beer packs. Come for the food. Drink a few beers. Watch one of the many TVs and have a great time!

Both bartenders were ready for orders at the same time and they prioritized the newest guests to approach the bar, there was no greeting, no asking who was next, nothing... which if it was a huge bustling bar I would understand but when we walked up there was only two other two at the bar... both of which they were helping so it was very clear we were next. For the price of the drinks Id settle for at least friendly customer service. It's a shame since it's a really cute spot and dirt bag right next door has great staff.
