This was only the second time we've been to The local, but it's because the first experience with…read morethe service & amazing food was so amazing that we had to make the drive back! I ordered the shrimp & grits and it's been all I thought about since the first time I had it! The flavors blend beautifully and the grits are amazing! My daughter got their Stuffed French Toast (peaches & cream) with fresh fruit! Looked fantastic! We love the outdoor seating which allows us to bring the dog, but the indoor ambiance is wonderful! Highly recommend if you're in the area! We can't wait to go back!

I ordered the bacon grilled cheese, and it was seriously delicious--the only thing I would have changed is that I personally would have loved the bacon a bit crispier. We also sampled three beers, all of which were great. The High Country Honey had a subtle sweetness with a light hazelnut note. The Hatchet Coffee Porter was smooth with a rich roasted coffee flavor. My favorite was the El Chupacabra, which had a smooth profile with prominent vanilla and chocolate flavors. The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming, and the prices were extremely reasonable. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it and am already looking forward to coming back.

Visited recently while in Boone and our experience was VASTLY different than previous visits. The…read moreoutdoor area was essentially a day care. Kids of all ages running wild with minimal supervision. My husband and I decided we'd have a beer and then head inside to grab food. Were told tables were first come first serve and order food at the bar. We found a spot, went to order at the bar and were told the kitchen was closed. It was 6pm. On a summer Saturday afternoon. Went back to the day care lawn because we were hungry, ordered a crappy burger and overdone cheese curds from the food truck. What a terrible experience. We will not ever be back.

Plenty of draft options with local beer and regular beer and seltzers. We ordered the pub pretzels with beer cheese and homemade mustard (the mustard is to die for). Also got some wings in the lemon pepper flavor and honey habanero. The baked Jamaican pizza is so yummy and the homemade chips are amazing! I definitely recommend this pub that offers plenty of seating inside and out. There's also cornhole boards set up outside for a good competitive game. The waitress was on top of everything and never let our glasses get empty which is nice!

Great bar, nice location…read more We went to watch the basketball game but we had our dog. There were picnic tables set up outside, bean bag toss, a bar and 4 big screen televisions. They even had water set up for our dog. The girl in the bar outside was supper nice, friendly, quick and brought the alcohol we wanted out to her bar. We were supposed to order inside but that bartender inside was not very nice- the one outside got our food orders too. Drinks and food were great- I had a grilled chicken salad- it was big and good. Be careful where you park!

Then we ordered chicken strips tossed in hot sauce and the middle of the chicken was raw. Sent it back and said we didn't want the order to be replaced because now the idea of eating raw chicken is in my head.

I've held off on a review here for so long because I just don't even know where to begin. I've been coming here for 4 years, several times a week. Wednesday afternoons are fun with the taco specials. Beer drafts always rotating and always good. Staff is super chill. This is a classic Boone spot, especially for college kids, and basically I just love it. Go!!!!!

Others that were seated after us seemed to have their appetizers and meals before. I had a salad add chicken for $6 and there was four strips of Chicken. Basically half of a breast.

My wife and I was were welcomed in by the hostess and seated quickly. It's not a huge space, but they've got a good bit of seating, and a little more upstairs, which allows you to look down into the brewery. Our server, Alex was very friendly and offered some beer recommendations based on our preference. They had a good variety to pick from and even some canned to go. Their food menu also offered a good selection. My wife and I decided to share an order of loaded fries to start, and then the "white buffalo" pizza. I enjoy white pizza, and enjoy buffalo chicken pizza...but this was the first time I've ever seen them together. The food was great, everything, tasted really good, and had good flavors. The Game Day IPA and Lost Province IPA's were both also very tasty Being a Friday night, they had a live musician, playing great music, which we really enjoyed while we ate and took in the atmosphere. I'd pass this recommendation on as well, and would return to try some of their other varried menu next time I visit Boone
