Great location with friendly staff, places to sit and chill by the stream, and good menu options.

Stopped by to have a local brew after walking the path around Lake Junaluska. We picked this brewery because it's dog-friendly. Omigosh what a great place to hang out on a summer Saturday afternoon! Almost everyone was sitting outside at the creekside picnic tables with lots of fur babies in attendance. There's no drink service outside so you have to go inside to get your beer or nibbles but that's ok. They'll bring your apps out to you. And the beer is pretty good too. We only had one each, but I would go back to try more! read more

Enjoyable experience. Employees are friendly, beer is tasty, and the view is pretty. The sour beer is tasty. They have a game room for adults and kids to enjoy. read more

This is our Go To brewery for a good selection of craft style beer on tap. The live music is another draw. They have some good menu choices also. Chk out their boiled pnuts with a craft beer...yummm. Outside seating is usually available. The stream that flows alongside is quite nice. read more

Time for another visit to Frog Level. We stopped in for lunch and to walk the new dog in this dog friendly restaurant. We had a great meal and the pup lover meeting lots of new faces. Ed had wings and a burger with some leftover to take home. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed our time there. Ore meal was delivered to the table fresh and hot. The restaurant was clean and quiet even though it was crowded. We like and will be eating here again read more

Awesome beer and delicious food Salamander slam IPA was very solid. 7% and gets the job done. Blood orange sour was also pretty good. Nice to be able to get a half pour if you arent all the way sold on something. Food was surprisingly good. Brisket tacos surprised me they were delicious and ingredients tasted fresh. Live music on a Wednesday night and you can beat the creek view Very attentive bar service read more

What an experience we had at Frog Level Brewing. It is a fantastic dog-friendly brewery we discovered while staying in Bryson City. After a lovely hike around Lake Junaluska, we stumbled upon this gem in nearby Waynesville. We had no idea how welcoming it would be for dogs until we walked in and bumped into fellow hikers we had met on the trail! Our pup, Schroeder, had a blast playing with Luke and a dog named Whiskey while we enjoyed the beautiful back deck overlooking a small creek. It was such a relaxing atmosphere, and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. Oh, and the beer was excellent! We especially loved their DIPA. If you're ever in the area with your furry friend, I highly recommend checking Frog Level out, it will not disappoint! read more

Nice to go to a brewery that has more than just IPA.... They definitely have a wide range of options and styles. Yo be able to find something that suits your taste. read more

Extremely enjoyable spot to have a beer and enjoy a nice afternoon with your dog right by the creek. Nice people too. Doesn't get much better than that. read more

What a view! They're right on the water with tons of outdoor seating to take advantage of their location. They also have lots of indoor seating and a big bar where you put in your order for drinks and food. I'm not a really a beer fan so I appreciated the assortment of local sodas available - I tried the strawberry rhubarb soda which was pretty good but I'd try a different flavor next time. We also tried the fried mushrooms, chili, meatball sub, and wings off their menu - pretty standard fare but good. They also had a pretty varied menu for a brewery with something for everyone in our group. read more

I love this place! The inside is so cool with a laid back vibe and the outdoor seating on the creek is awesome. They had live music under their new stage which was great. All the beers we had were awesome, especially the hazy and the Frogdelo, their version of a Modelo Negra. The hummus, trout dip, and pimento dip app was very good. However, the smash burger wasn't a true smash, just thin patties on an ok bun with basic toppings. The side of chips with queso wasn't homemade, just out of a jar I believe. My wifes grilled chicken salad was fair, but very basic. Service was good but somewhat slow because they were busy. Would have given five stars but the food wasn't as good as the beer! read more

This is a very nice bar/brewery with a capable kitchen. The star of the show is the backyard, where you can sit by the creek. I tried the bug-eyed stout and was very good. They have live music some days as well. Excellent place to visit. read more

A nice little brewery. The outdoor seating area sits on a little creek and is a nice spot to enjoy a drink. I had limited interaction with staff but they were friendly and prompt. read more

First timers and it was a very nice place. The inside is quite cozy with lots of seating areas and the outside had live music with lots of outdoor seating. Just note the tables (pictured below) look to be house made tables outside are small and do not fit tall people very well. It's hard to get your legs under or around to be comfortable. It's nice outside, just not very comfortable unless you score a high top maybe, a picnic table or some of the other chairs. And sitting again the brick is wall (we tried for a while too) but it was a no go. So, we did find a nice couch inside that was a great spot. We had a couple of the sours which were good and the stuffed tots. The tots were very good and recommended. Yummy! We would absolutely go back but just not sit outside. We're just too tall for their seating. The inside was perfect. read more

Great beers, Great music, and awesome atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on the different types of beer avenues. I'm looking forward to coming back again read more

Good food as always, horrible wait times and no notice as such....after more than an hour the people behind the bar could care less that they did not inform u that kitchen was backed up. Felt sorry for the servers. If u can't get the food out in a reasonable amount of time that is something I want to know so I can decide to stay or go. Nope, just took my $100 and blew me off when I started asking questions.... read more

Stopped here for appetizers and some craft beers. Beer 5/5: Frogger Lager - great American Lager. Apps: Hummus/Pimento Cheese 5/5 & trout spread 3/5 too salty; Soft Pretzel 5/5 great dips; Loaded fries 5/5 Delicious! Ambiance- The outdoor patio seating by the River 5/5!!! read more

We had a great lunch at Frog Level Brewing today with our pup (they are very dog friendly). I tried a few of the seasonal beers. They were all good. The sweet potato amber was a standout. With flavored beers I sometimes find myself searching for the flavor. I didn't have to with this one (or the persimmon sour or the chestnut brown). We had brisket tacos and a bbq brisket sandwich. Both good as well. The service was friendly and efficient. Food came out fast. They have a big indoor space as well as a cool outdoor space (weather permitting ... it was too cold for it today). We really liked this place. It's an easy recommendation. read more

Great local brewary sitting down on a shaded stream. Always interesting music and art to relax too. Try the trout dip! 1) Serve cold beer in cold glasses! 2) Double the order of bottled NA beers since your often sold out. read more

Beer is...eh. Not my favorite. But they had one sour that was pretty alright. I came here because my Airbnb was in this town and I needed to waste some time before check in. There is a public parking lot right across the street from the brewery, which was a big draw and convenience for me. The space is huge, lots of room for groups or events. I ordered a flight, because I like trying new things. I should have just gotten a full pour of something I knew was in my wheelhouse. I didn't love most of what I got to try, but you know that's why we try things! The Ultraviolet Guanabana was my favorite of the four I got, tasty and fruity and tart. I had a nice, brief visit here, listening to a podcast while I sipped my drinks. I didn't feel drawn to buy anything to-go and bring home with me, but I enjoyed myself well enough while I was here. read more

Im not sure this is the worst restaurant I've been to, but certainly close. It felt like an indoor ally way and the patrons all looked lost. I'm not sure I ever figured out what was going on at this place. It could be me, but maybe it's the times we live in. We walked in and could not really tell if it was seat ourselves or wait to be seated. Turns out that you find a place to sit and order at the bar. You then wait forever to wonder if your food is going to come. The food comes out and you watch the staff wonder around for five minutes until they find who the order belongs to. Perhaps they could improve their system. We had chicken nachos, cold. Brisket grilled cheese, cold. Brisket tacos, cold. We didn't order them cold, but apparently that's how they come. We also had an order of loaded tots, which were slightly larger than normal tater tots with cheese inside. Five of them for $9. Had the food been warm it might have been good, however we will never know. My tacos just tasted like onions. The grilled cheese tasted like dog food. The nachos had a few beans, a couple of jalapeño slices, a hint of cheese and drowned in sour cream. The place was pretty loud and then the live music sounded like a death march. There were dogs being paraded through the place while they barked at each other. Add to it the ceiling fans were on full blast with the ac going while it was a cold winter day. Not sure what was colder, the outside temperature, the food, or the inside eating area. I love Waynesville, but will skip Frog Level. Don't fall for the positive reviews. read more

Completely forgot to take photos but had to post a review! Came with some friends and absolutely loved it! The outdoor seating next to the creek is incredible! The wonderful smell of the yeast when walking into the brewery is so awesome. Loved both the food and brews! They have nice selections and choices for everyone. 100% recommend trying read more

Been coming here for years. Every thing is always great. Was out yesterday and listened to Paul Edelman on stage. I just want to say that he was one of the best performers that I have listened to in a long time. Thankyou read more

This place is ~the~ vibe. We went to another brewery in a nearby town and were let down by their Trout Dip and other food, who wants to eat trout dip with broccoli? We decided to drop by Frog Level today and our Trout Dip dreams came true. Just look at those perfect warm, soft pitas. The zucchini fries were the star of the show of our lunch. Not to mention the beer was fantastic. New favorite place in the area! read more

Dog friendly! Yummy food! And beer? What more can you ask for. The stout beer was my favorite I really should've done a picture or two of food and flight but it all was very good. Got the buffalo chicken fries and shared the brisket grilled cheese. It all was very good. I would go back and get a six pack and growler. I'm here for four days maybe you should. read more

Went to this brewery last night and was super surprised they had food! We had a huge group of us and they were so fast with the food and even took group photos for us. The staff were great and very nice! & there was plenty of seating for all of too. You order your food at the bar and then they will bring it out to you. I'm not big on beer, but they do have cider so I got the triple jam and it was very good! Literally tasted just like jam! The shrimp tacos were amazing. They were on corn tortillas and the sauce was so yummy on them! They did have a little bit of a kick to them but not too spicy. I paired them with a side of chips and queso. They had a band playing tonight as well. After we finished eating we went outside to drink a little more. They have these adorable lights outside that give it a really nice ambiance. If we lived here we would totally come every weekend! read more

I love this brewery. It is so relaxing to sit outside on the river while having a beer. Loved both the Ultraviolet Blackberry Pineapple sour and the Blood Orange gose. The food is a nice addition. You order at the bar and take a number and they bring it out to you. The trout dip was to die for. Lots of seating inside and out. Flights available. I will visit any time I'm in town! read more

In the area for some fun and relaxation with members of our RV club and found this place fairly close to where we were shopping. Now I must say that Waynesville, NC just might be the most dog-friendly city I've ever seen. Dogs of every kind, and welcome pretty much everywhere we went. Now on to the real review. The guys arrived a little before the ladies, so dug right into the extensive beer menu on the screens on the wall. I had an IPA for starters, which was hoppy and delicious. Food is ordered at the bar counter and brought to your table by an efficient server that you then never interact with again. Beers are ordered and picked up at the bar and you return your own glasses to the bar, as well as bussing your own table after you eat. And eat I did, with the monthly special Smashburger, a perfectly cooked chili cheeseburger with very tasty fries. I usually avoid smash burgers, as they're very easy to overcook and make very dry. Not in this case. Cook was percent, and the house-made chili was a wonderful accompaniment to the two patties, cheese and veggies. With my burger, I ordered the house Hefeweizen, which was excellent and quite refreshing. A spacious outdoor seating area easily accommodated our group of 12. I'm sure we'll be back to this area in the future, and Frog Level will be a guaranteed stop. read more

Here we go again. Another day but not just another brewery. This place is awesome from the time you walk through the door. It has a side room with couches, tables and other seating areas. Shuffle board, corn hole and darts are all inside activities. Out back there is a large seating area right on the river. Oops, did I mention their custom brews are delicious. My only advice is work on the sewage smell in the men's and ladies restrooms. read more

I used to like Frog level. The outside tables are filthy. My brisket sandwich had four thin slices of pure fat. The beer is good but the food leaves a lot to be desired read more

Great beer and great atmosphere!! The food is good too. Typical bar menu. I got the chicken cheese tortilla- loved it. My husband got the portabella burger and he really liked it. I would order the Mexican corn as a side dish next time. It's not on the cob but cut in a small bowl. I orders a flight and my favorite was the blueberry sour. Come here you won't be disappointed! read more
