There were a few quiet couples eating and only one poor guy working the whole restaurant so we sat at the bar so he could easily serve us. I ordered the chicken melt hash brown bowl but was served a chicken melt sandwich and hash browns. No worries, I just took the chicken and cheese off the bread and put it in the hash browns. Still good and it was done really fast. Nice quiet meal.

The Square Root is the kind of place you don't expect to find in a small mountain town like…read moreBrevard--in the best way possible. This is big-city dining right in the heart of Brevard. The menu is creative, thoughtful, and clearly driven by a chef who knows what they're doing. Every dish feels intentional, with bold flavors and elevated execution that go well beyond typical small-town expectations. What really stands out is how well it all comes together. It's not just creative for the sake of it--the food delivers. Great balance, great presentation, and dishes that actually live up to the vision. If you're looking for something a step above while in Brevard, this is the spot. It punches way above its weight.

I called over to the Square Root to check the kitchen timing (it was getting on 8) and all was well. We managed a seat at the bar and this was perfect for us. We chatted a bit with the servers, who were amazing. There is a ton enjoyment for the job and the space going on here. We also met some semi-locals who were awesome. Shout out to "Kendall-Jackson"! The menu is full of local ingredients and plenty of temptations. The specials were even more tempting and we grabbed oysters to kick it off. The pepper/spicy mignonette is so so good. It's just the right mix of classic and new. I didn't need the other sauce, especially with just 6 oysters. I eyed the yellowtail snapper (snapper, right? def not tuna) special, but opted for the Korean chicken sandwich. Quite good! I could have used a stronger flavor from the kimchi and, frankly, less of a mess, but the cook was just right, the flavor profiles were excellent, and the portion was plenty. A really good sandwich! I had the sweet potato chips as my side and I can see why they are popular. We kept the leftover sauces from the oysters just so I could dip my chips. Good call! She Said: I'd like to start by complimenting the fantastic staff. They've obviously been here a while, and they're enthusiastic about this place. He Said covered the oysters (yum!) and the mignonette (double yum!), so I'll focus on the mushroom tart that I got as my meal. The rough puff was really done well, and the mushroom and goat cheese combo was terrific. I thought they would be inside the pastry, but I adapted. The whole dish was terrific, and though I thought it was too salty for me, I also know that I'm sensitive to salt. All in all, we will definitely be back! Potty Points: no trip to the potty for me on this one!

Overall: Quick service. Food was delicious. BBQ Pork on a bun sandwich basket, which includes two sides. Hot, fresh tender pork in the Eastern style (vinegar base). Fries were crisp and hot, hush puppies were crispy, sweet and had a hint of salt. Eastern brined vinegar pork was tender, juicy and filling. No need for toppings! Located on the turn into Pisgah National State park, Hawg is clearly a favorite, and placed in just the right spot to bring in locals and tourists alike. Even on the 4th of July with crowds surging there was plenty of room and plenty of good food. I opted for to-go and only waited for 15 minutes (at 2pm.) It was still delicious, hot, and fresh. The Eastern basket, as it was called, included a BBQ pork sandwich on a bun and two sides. The marinated pork and drizzle of extra vinegar was plenty to flavor this delicious sandwich. A side of their fresh fries and hushpuppies rounded out the meal. With plenty of BBQ favorites including Ribs, burgers, brisket, and fried chicken, a hearty, delicious, filling, and quick meal feels perfect after visiting the nearby Pisgah park and relaxing on the river in an inter-tube on a beautiful summer day. Also, visit Dolly's Dairy Bar across the way for a tasty ice cream treat or The Pisgah Tavern at The Hub for plenty of on tap ice cold drinks.

Everything about this place was absolutely exceptional. Starting with service! The woman that greeted us when we came in and took our order, is one of the sweetest ladies ever. I just kept telling my husband after each small interaction with her "oh my gosh I just love her". It's an incredibly warm and inviting space, and I wish we lived closer just to be able to experience that alone more often. But lord have mercy, the food? They knocked it out of the park!!! They have a huge menu with all sorts of stuff that you don't see super often. We got the Chicago dog, the BBQ burger, the sweet potato fries, onion rings, and a blackberry shake. Those sweet potato fries will have me dreaming about them until I can make my way back here. There's no amount of praise to do this place justice! All I can say is, if you haven't tried stopping by here for a meal, you absolutely need to!

The inside is super cute and we instantly knew this was going to be a fun place. The young girl at the counter taking our order was super nice and helpful answering our questions.

The pulled pork was not my type as I smoke bbq at home all of the time. I'd try the chicken with ribs the next time. That being said, this place was awesome! If we are ever in the Brevard area, I will definitely be back. Oh! And we both got milkshakes that were top notch! Key Lime and Chocolate Covered Banana! So good!

The on-site food truck, "Chub Wagon," had a good menu with a nice variety to choose from. We tried the Buffalo chicken sandwich on Texas toast and a salad with grilled salmon--both were tasty and hit the spot for a brewery meal. Looking forward to trying the patty melt next time! The service was quick, and the staff were super friendly and really knowledgeable about the beers on tap. We happened to go on trivia night, which was a lot of fun and added to the experience. Loved the outdoor seating area--plenty of space and kid-friendly, which is a plus. Overall, a chill place for good beer, good vibes, and a casual night out. Would come back for the food truck and atmosphere alone!

It's a small brewery with no food service (but you can bring food in -- we had Sully's Steamers…read moresandwiches, just a couple doors up the street). The atmosphere is minimal, but the service was very good. The key thing though -- the beer itself -- it was great. Not just because we had come from a day of hiking in the Pisgah National Forest and needed a beer. It really is a great little brewery on par with the best ones in Asheville and with prices less than Asheville breweries. Their Munich Dunkel was a great dark beer with elements of a porter or stout but in the form of a lager. It reminded me of a great beer you'd get in a British or German pub. The schwarz bier, which is akin to a porter or stout, was also excellent. Very balanced and flavorful, without being overwhelming. We'll definitely stop in here for after-hike beers again!
