Foothills has a unique blend of Irish pub roots with a modern brewery. It's like the best of both worlds and it's actually pretty cool. The staff is awesome too! The menu is stacked with several certified bangers, so I'll have to come back for that patty melt. The giant pretzel is a must. I was slightly disappointed by having no mustard, instead it was swapped with a sweet cinnamon dip and given alongside a cheese dip. Separately of course. I'd say it was an acceptable twist... Still, it's massive, served warm, and it's the perfect app to kick things off with a beer. Their Carolina Blonde reminds me of Natty's Wildflower, which I'm not a huge fan of. I should've passed on that and stuck with their Pilsner which was actually good. The half order of fish and chips is filling, especially while snacking on something else. It's crispy without being greasy, and the fish was fresh and flaky. I would order it again for sure, the pretzel too. Skip their Carolina Blonde though, it's just not it. read more

First time here - greeted at the door as if I was a regular, impressive. Lindsey acknowledged my presence right away with a warm and thoughtful approach, excellent service throughout. Ordered, the Fish & Chips - unbelievable portion without sacrificing quality, texture, taste, fantastic! read more

Foothills Brewing - Ale Battered Fish & Chips - Full - American Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Service was very nice but moved a little slow. We had a new server but every drink order he placed for us, they took forever to make at the bar. I got a hoagie and it wasn't anything to brag about. Very bland with no seasoning. Chicken sandwich was pretty good, just a little too sour. I'd say if you was out late drinking and needed some food, this wouldn't be terrible.. but I wasn't too keen on brunch hour. Easy to find location with street parking. Nice and clean inside. read more

Greeted at the door by a very nice hostess who sat us immediately. Waitress came to the table quickly to get a drink order. All is great. Drink order is placed, beer is always great. The wine selection is poor at best. I ordered the brewhouse cuban sandwich which was very dry and honestly, not much flavor. The hoagie seemed to overtake the sandwich but even eating the meat separately from the bun was unremarkable. Would not try again. Wife ordered the fish and chips which seems to always hits a home run but tonight it was off. The filet was small and more chewy than having the normal crunchy batter. The place was also sooooooo noisy that you had to almost yell to talk over a booth. I will not alone eager to return and feel the food truck at the tasting room delivers a better meal and you get the same delicious beer without all of the noice. Loved the staff though. read more

I have been to Foothills a number of time and it never disappoints. I will say, it's not mind-blowing, but the food is consistent, the beer is good, and the atmosphere is level (ie not super welcoming, not unwelcoming, but neutral). The service is typically good - not overly friendly, but quick, respectful, and good. I've had their wings, burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers. On my most recent visit I got one of their big pretzels and wings. They hit the spot! read more

Located in the heart of downtown with indoor and outdoor seating it's a large beautiful bar and restaurant. They have live music on certain nights and play music in the background on other days. The atmosphere is very relaxing and laid back. Staff is friendly and on point with their service. We got 3 different plates. My wife got the breakfast burrito, thank God she asked for the Chile de Árbol sauce on the side because it was spicy! I loved the spice as it did not linger. She got it with a side of perfectly fried sweet potato fries. My daughter got the Fish and Chips with a side of fries. The fish was golden fried on outside and soft and flaky on inside. It was huge and hung of the plate. I kept picking at it and stealing some bites. I got the Elote pasta. I must admit that at 1st bite I did not like it, seemed bland. After a little S&P love and mixing it up, it all came together. Not sure why it's called Elote(corn) pasta, as there was no corn on it, unless the sauce is made with corn. Anyway, the sauce was perfect and the scallions, tomatoes & fresh grated Parmesan was what put it all together. It was definitely the favorite dish as my wife and daughter kept stealing from me.......oh and let me not forget the tender perfectly seasoned blackened chicken. Every bite was flavorful. Overall very happy with our experience and waiter. If your downtown stop in and check them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Great beer and great food. I had the Cuban sandwich and it was spot on - crispy bread, melted cheese, tangy pickles, tender pork, and just the right amount of mustard. Service was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere has lively brewpub energy without feeling chaotic. Loved the music trivia on a Tuesday! read more

Foothills Brewing - Cuban sandwich - American Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

I've been a couple of times now and would highly recommend. It's a big space with bar and plenty of table seating as well, plus an area upstairs with standing tables and cordoned off space to the side for large private party. Service was fast, and the prices, while high, are comparable to other places. For the price, however, you're mostly getting some excellent quality plates. I recommend the dirty south burger, which I've had before, but this time I got the hot Winston chicken. I enjoyed the gochujang slaw on the side as well, but I like it as an included side. If I paid the full $5 for extra side, I wouldn't have been quite as pleased perhaps. Lace got the aforementioned burger, which I'm pleased to say is still delicious (I'll probably go back to it next time), and the fries are above average quality, too! Pours of draft beer seem to be in a smaller than average glass, but then they are keeping their beverage prices down this way. read more

A brewery located in downtown Winston Salem! My family and I came here on a weekend at around 1:30pm. It wasn't crowded at all, but we were told it would be about a 15-20 minute wait to be seated so the kitchen could catch up on orders. When we were seated, I ordered the spicy buffalo chicken wrap with a few modifications (no buffalo sauce and sub out ranch dressing for Caesar). They easily accommodated that for me. It also came with a side so I got the mac & cheese. Everything was delicious, but the food took a bit long to come out (at least 30 minutes). It helped that the restaurant had lots of TV screens for entertainment and the server made sure our drinks were always topped off. This is a great place to go for bar food and drinks. My favorite thing is the chef typically changes things up and will make a sandwich of the day so be on the lookout for that special menu when you visit. read more

"Remember that place in Winston where we got that plate of fish & chips that was SOOO good? What was the name?....Foothills Brewing!" That was it! We HAD to make the drive. We hit there and almost all of the dining room was empty but the hostess said that we could be seated but would have to wait about 20 minutes to be served because there was one group of about 15-20 people. The wait staff didn't feel that way however. Multiple people came over and helped us almost immediately with minimal wait. We both got the FULL ale battered fish & chips and split a coleslaw, although I don't remember it looking like that. I wanted hot sauce but couldn't remember the other condiment I usually ask for until the server said MALT VINEGAR! Everything was delicious and I'll have to come back soon. read more

Good spot to meet with friends - room for improvement with service. I wanted to give this a 4, it's in a great location on 4th street, when I went there was trivia, but the service just missed the mark a bit. I came on a Thursday with some friends and trivia was starting at 7pm in the back room. We were seated up front but the mic and sound system were set up well so we could still participate. Our server seemed a little frenzied and not the most personable (not rude, just not as friendly as I would hope/expect). We split a giant pretzel and ordered some beer and cocktails. I got the spicy margarita and enjoyed that. My friends left a little sooner than I did, and I arrived somewhat late, but our server brought our checks out literally before I even received my food! I stayed to finish trivia and when my waiter came over to check on me he started to ask if I wanted another drink and then abruptly said "Oh you're closed out!" I actually did want another round but didn't want to go through the hassle of starting another tab.. Trivia was super fun though, the cuban sandwich I had was robust and hearty but lacking in seasoning, plus the meat was just a little dry. It needed a dipping sauce or something. I think this a decent place in a great location. If they fine tune their flavors a bit and work on service, it would get another star from me! read more

Beautiful little spot to stop by for a bite to eat and an enjoy a drink. The inside is bright and modern, nice vibe for a small or slightly larger party. They do have a side room if you have a much larger party but it's possible a reservation would be needed. The service was friendly and the food itself was great. They have a decent amount of beers on top along with other drinks. Honestly not much to complain about with this restaurant. Why not five stars? I received a surprise change of $0.75 because I ordered a side of ranch with my fries. I was never told this was an up charge nor did I see anything on the menu about there being a change for side sauce. This should have been communicated. read more

Visiting our son at college and he brought us here as it was the only place he knew of open after 10pm Monday. Fantastic service. Delicious food.

The service was excellent. Micki , our waiter, was very courteous and helpful in offering lunch options. He suggested substituting tofu in the buffalo chicken wrap, it was delicious. The beers were good; we chose the stout since unfortunately they were out of the pumpkin ale. Liked the ambience, clean and nicely laid out. Music was at a good level where you can hear it but not so loud that it drowns out conversation. Very convenient to the Marriott Courtyard, next door. Just found out from the manager that this is a repurposed building. It used to be a car dealership. That's so cool, instead of tearing down and rebuilding they capture the essence of the history. That's why the ambience is so great and unique. All in all I would recommend and definitely return read more

I decided to update my review since it was a few years ago that I wrote it. We came in to listen to jazz and drink some local beer. We sat down and around four different servers saw us and ignored us. I asked my wife if we have to order from the bar. She shrugged and said she asked. One of the aforementioned servers told her something and my wife came back to the table. She told me the server said someone would be around to us "eventually"....lol. I was very vocal in my laughing at the ridiculous statement. Eventually a server came to the table and we ordered the beers and my wife wanted a dessert. The seasonal dessert was a red velvet cookie and ice cream for $10.00. The dessert was served and it looked like a Great Value cookie from Walmart and what looked like a pre-formed ice cream that you get in grade school and eat with a wooden spoon....it had a number 4 stamped on it WOW.....! read more

This place used to be good. Stopped in for a burger Sold as 100% beef turns out pork and chicken undercooked pink when I ordered it medium well. I don't understand why no restaurant in Winston-Salem cares to clean up trash around the front of the outside of their building and keep quality long-term like places do up north. Cutting cost and cutting corners will never equal quality. Do better. read more

The service and food are hit-or-miss. The service especially. The prices have gotten a little nuts. Not my first choice of really anything.

We came here after running the CraftHalf half marathon and enjoyed some good brews and cocktails. They have a good variety of beers and creative craft cocktails! They have a large indoor dining space and outdoor seating as well. - Southwestern Caesar salad: highly recommend! I got the half size for $10 and it was perfect size for half my meal. - Mac and Cheese: Probably one of my favorite Mac and cheese that I have had. - Cuban sandwich: I blinked and my husband had devoured it so must have been delicious read more

Stopped in here on Valentine's Day between morning coffee and lunch. Had to check it out as a craft beer fan, especially since it is Winston Salem's first brewery. Love the beer they make, love the little tasting and presentation they give. Food and service were ok. It wasn't too busy but it took a while for every order to come out. The fried mushroom app was tasty and well made, but again, took a long time before it came. One bonus is that it opens at 11am so it was a fun spot to celebrate with a little day drinking on Valentine's Day. Most bars, breweries, wineries, lounges seem to open up later in the day...typically. Overall, a fun atmosphere with great beers. read more

Foothills Brewery (Downtown Winston-Salem) I've waited a few days to post this review because I so wanted it to be good. Foothills makes some of my favorite beers, and this experience will not change my feelings for Jade, nor Hopyum. They are both excellent. We haven't been to the downtown restaurant in quite some time. I was just not impressed by their food overall. But visiting family wanted to go, so we gave it another try on the Friday night before Christmas. It was a rainy night, and when we arrived about 6:00pm, there was no one there. We were seated right away and our server took and delivered drink orders. By 7 or so, the crowd wandered in. Our visiting family members decided to split the Reuben sandwich. The kitchen cut the sandwich in half and served two plates with fries. It looked good, and they said it tasted good. Carolyn and I decided to split the Pub Melt burger. They also cut the sandwich, and served each half with fries. The menu called for grilled onions and cheese. Now, I've had many a patty melt and was looking for a nice, messy burger with tasty grilled onions and lotsa cheese. yum. What we got was your basic burger, served on sourdough bread, with lettuce and tomato, a cold slice of cheese, and a tiny amount of grilled onions. I thought we were served the wrong sandwich! I alerted our server, who said it didn't look right and headed for the kitchen. She returns with the manager who apologized and said our order was being remade. The new order arrived and, walla, the same thing. The manager checked by and I said this didn't look or taste like any "melt" I had ever had. He said: "yeah, when I came here I was surprised they put lettuce and tomato on a melt." Oh well, we ate the second sandwich, but it was not at all what we had hoped for. I guess it was an ok burger, but it was no melt! The hand cut fries, crispy, were very good, and another Hopyum saved the day. This place has such potential. A cool, downtown location. Great beer. Decent atmosphere (although a bit noisy). But the food just doesn't do it for me. Read the menu carefully, and ask questions. The chef has his own idea of how things should be and ut probably won't match your expectations. read more

We stopped by Foothills a few weeks ago as it has been atop our list of breweries in the Winston area to try. We stopped by about 8ish on a Monday and were seated immediately which was great! I ordered a Thousand Smiles Golden Ale to start and we got a Bavarian Pretzel to start and it might be one of the best fresh pretzels I have had. Perfectly soft and salted combined with the beer cheese was top notch. Honey-cinnamon spread was a nice addition as well. For the main dish I went with a Torch Pilsner to drink (a bottled favorite of mine for a while, even better fresh on tap) along with the Dirty South burger. This had pimento cheese, fried pickles, bacon and tomato atop a perfectly cooked patty. All of the toppings were a perfect combination flavor wise. Only thing I would change is going for regular pickles over the fried pickles. All of mine were a tad on the soggy side and I think regular pickle slices would have sufficed. All in all still a damn good burger! I ordered the Mac and cheese as a side and it was delicious as well; Creamy, cheesey goodness in a bowl. My girlfriend got the Winston Hot Chicken Sandwich and it was very tasty as well. The chicken was fried crispy and the hot sauce was the perfect enjoyable spice level. Definitely recommend all to give them a try, if not for the beers they brew, for the tasty food they make as well! read more

Satisfied with my first time visiting Foothills. The dining room has plenty of seats and there's an event space upstairs. The back has a bar and a more brewery-like atmosphere. Foothills has your pub staples: burgers, sandwiches, etc. coupled with a rotating beer selection. Our server greeted us promptly after we were seated. My group needed some time to browse. She came back after a satisfactory period. The place wasn't busy and she can tell when a table's ready to order. My meal of choice was a Carolina Blonde with their "Shanewich" special. I chose to have the sandwich's contents prepared as a plate. I'm glad I did that, as I wasn't in the mood for eating a bun. Will gladly be back next time I'm in Winston-Salem. read more

Stopped for dinner while driving home/staying at the Marriott. Was seated quickly for our party of 7. Service was great and they accommodated all of our requests. Husband had the Reuben and thought it was great. I had the blackened chicken with a side salad. Daughter had the kids pizza and loved it. Our only off-comment was the office manager's door was open the entire time we were there and our table was located right next to it.

Foothills Brewing - Chef's Choice Tacos - so good! - American Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Great experience at our visit to Foothills last week! We started off the meal by getting the ENORMOUS pretzel which comes with a cheese sauce and a cinnamon sugar butter. Both were delicious (personally not a mustard fan so I loved these two options!). I had their Hazyum beer which is my new favorite by Foothills and my husband got the beer snacks flight. I forgot to take pictures of our meals but I had the ranch house chicken sandwich which has a little kick to it, but the corn helps give a little sweetness to it too which I loved. My husband got the elote chicken pasta which is his go to. They do also have a kids menu, my daughter got the chicken tenders and fries which honestly I was super impressed with the quality of both. The chicken tenders have some house-made batter on them which give them the perfect crunch. The service was so fast and efficient and we loved the added surprise of a band playing around 5pm on a Sunday. Kept my daughter entertained! We will be back soon- forgot how much we love this place! read more

What a wonderful time finally visiting Foothills!!! We were able to get a spot at the bar and were immediately greeted by a kind bartender. He got us a sample and helped us choose what we wanted. I tried the Octoberfest and quite liked it. The menu has so many options! And in addition to the regular menu, they have daily specials. So much fun! The specials include a specially created sandwich by the chef which this Saturday was a poutine burger. My friends ordered it and it was incredible. A big ol' burger topped with fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Wow! I kept it simple with my go-to buffalo chicken wrap. To be honest, it was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and it lacked flavor. But the tots were amazingly crispy and salty. I also really liked the ranch which I'm assuming was homemade. A heavy dill flavor but I liked it. I would 10/10 go again and try something different. Maybe tacos next time as they do a different tacos with each new set of specials. read more

Headed to Foothills for trivia, dinner and beer. Being a hophead, I got a flight of IPAs, and they were all really good. My coworkers got the Pilsner and also enjoyed that a lot. Pilsner aren't the easiest beers to make and a former brewer said that it was a very clean Pilsner. So I'll take his word for it. I don't remember what I ordered... likely a few side dishes. I do remember the mac and cheese, though. It was pretty good. read more
