    Great Marzipan beer - Vienna lager. Tasty and cold - let's Octoberfest be everyday. A unique central Virginia brewery. Already getting national attention

    Water jug or Growler to go lol

    Traveling home and surprising ended up near this location. Worth the 15 min. wait to open and we were not alone. We had the Main Stay Vienna Lager before but the additional choice was fantastic also. Emily N.our server and initial hostess was fantastic. She explained the menu had been updated and each of our choices. Vienna Lager, Schwartz Beir and Lily Apple Cider were great additions to the DD Burger and Shrimp Tacos. The Schwartz Beir and Lily Pad also makes a Snakebite which when mixed together doesn't bite. The Mountain View is the best natural decor ever.

    The food and service were both very good. It's a neat place. Don't rely on their online menu as two of the items we planned to order were no longer available.

    Chicken pimento sandwich

    The food and beer were very good. The appetizers, soft pretzel with side of queso and nachos with fried chicken, were hot and flavorful. The beers were cold and I enjoyed each one we tried. The danzig, my favorite is tried, Schwartz bier, pumpkin lager, Cinderella man and the heavenly trip. The burger had good flavor with tots. The chicken sandwich was a little over done but the pimento helped with the needed moisture. The servers and manager seem very nice and easy to talk with. Didn't feel rushed or bothered. I personally liked the atmosphere and the building myself. I do plan on returning to give a followup review.

    Mountain view

    We arrived on a Saturday in June around 12:00 PM. There is inside and outdoor seating. There are some nice mountains views outside. We were greeted immediately and taken to a table outside (which we requested). It wasn't crowded when we arrived but within an hour all the tables were taken. Wait staff was good about picking up dirty dishes even if they weren't your waiter - really appreciate this!!! I am a stickler about dirty dishes laying around. Our waiter was good although he forgot to put in part of our order. He did apologize. We got a couple tastes of drafts before deciding on one. We both ordered the Juicy Magic IPA which was very good. They were serving brunch as well as lunch.. My husband got the quiche that was on the brunch menu. It was vegetarian and good except for the excessive amount of a dried spice which appeared to be oregano. It was accompanied by a simple red onion and arugula with a light splash of vinaigrette. It could have used an extra splash or two because most of the time you were just eating plain lettuce. I got the shrimp tacos. There were three tacos full of large, lightly spiced shrimp on top of lime slaw. It came with tortilla chips and queso. The tacos were downright delicious. The shrimp were the perfect size and cooked just right. The chips appeared homemade and were tasty as well. My husband really enjoyed the queso but it was a bit too salty for me. And like a boomerang, we will be back!

    Food was good. Beer was great. And all employees we met were fabulous. We had taken an Uber which was easy to find. But when time to leave, it was impossible to find one. When the server realized we were considering walking, she took us to our hotel. We were very grateful and I don't know her name but in case you read this...Thank You!!!

    Loved everything about this brewery! The food, the brews, the views - great atmosphere & service. Brought our dogs & sat on the patio. Loved it.

    I lived in Lexington, VA and this was our spot to meet up with friends especially after a great hike! Never disappoints Beer so good and Smash burger with aioli sauce so good! Congratulations to Meghan GM from being a server

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap
    John G.

    This place is right off of 81, so if your looking for a cool place to grab a bite and beer, consider this. We have not been able to sit outside yet because of the weather, but the outside has a really nice view. The menu was recently revamped. I got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Wife got the Chicken Sandwich and a side Southwest Salad. The salad has a kick to it. The wrap was good, stuffed with chicken. It can serve two people its so big. ..And the beers are always good. I a fam of the IPA's they put out. Keep up the great work folks.

    Half-pour Vienna Lager - but I had already enjoyed some before the photo!!
    Mary O.

The food - well, we had the steak tacos and the chicken tacos with chips and queso!! Yum!! And just a half-pour of the Vienna Lager since we are driving all day!!

    The local beer selection was great and all our drinks were good service was kind of lacking and our food was pretty bland for the price.

    There's ample parking, unlike many breweries I've been to. Inside is warm and cozy, but the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the outside patio is a great place to hang out and spend time (dogs allowed) enjoying their delicious freshly made food and exceptional beer. The staff have always been very friendly and attentive. This is my place to go when I am in town.

    Our first time visiting the brewery after being fans of the beers for a long time. We were finally in the area and stopped by for some food and drinks after a day of hiking. The food was awesome! We had the smoked turkey club, fried chicken sandwich, giant pretzel, nachos with pork, and kids chicken fingers. I had the Danzig porter and my husband had the Oh Rah IPA. We have been fans for a long time of the brews and drinks. Disappointed that they were out of 8 Point when we visited, but we had some at home in the fridge. It was the perfect place for us to have a great meal and drinks.

    See all

    Devil's Backbone, like a good story, doesn't try too hard--and that's exactly why it works…read more We wandered in for an early dinner, the kind of stop you tell yourself will be quick and sensible. But the beer had other ideas. As expected, it was excellent--cold, confident, and clearly in no mood to be rushed. Everything was clean and orderly. The burger arrived and did not disappoint. Honest, well-made, the sort of meal that reminds you why you ordered it in the first place. My wife's brisket sandwich, meanwhile, was everything brisket ought to be--tender, rich, and just indulgent enough to feel like a reward rather than a mistake. Fries came alongside, hot and crisp, doing their job without complaint or ceremony. And then, on the way out--as these things tend to happen--we stopped at the bar. That's where we met Vance. What followed was less a quick cocktail and more a conversation with drinks attached. The cocktails were excellent, but the company made them memorable. Vance makes a great adult beverage. All in all, Devil's Backbone isn't just a place to eat and drink. It's a place where a simple plan quietly turns into a better evening than you expected.

    Devils Backbone has more business going on in the warmer weather. We visited at Christmas. The main…read morerestaurant and gift shop was open. There were outside fire pits. During the summer, there are BBQ areas and lots of out door seating. A large outside stage has bands and entertainment. There is a campground and RV area with shared shower houses. The camping area is year round. The gift shop has outdoor colors (forest green, browns) tops and sweatshirts. The long sleeved t-shirts are $29. The short sleeved tye died shirts were my favorite. The restaurant has the "resident" stuffed bear. At the entrance. We were expecting a 15 min wait but were seated earlier. The menu has a beer and beverage menu. The dining menu has burgers, fries and vegetarian items. We enjoyed hot chocolate. Our friends had sandwiches and fries. I enjoyed the vegan chili. It was delicious. Spiral noodles didn't work in the Mac and cheese. The place wasn't crowded. I bet that the grounds would be crowded with guests during the summer.
