I could envision the place hopping at night, full of fun folks with good taste in food and music. My friends, who are regulars, brought me here for lunch. On Friday the 13th. Turned out there was NOTHING superstitious going on. Whew! I gotta give a huge shoutout to our Brew Crew girl, Presley! I ain't crying...about her service, or her style, or her sense of humor. Wink Wink! She made our chew time at the brew a lot of fun. We felt welcome and appreciated. Hey! I got their Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich. The one with the little onion crispies and that CRAZY good house made pimento sauce. And the fries are fantastic. It WAS love at first bite. Finger licking good. If food ain't messy, it ain't for me! I'm adding Hiawassee Brew to my 'When in town gotta do!' list.

The Trail Mate was cool, but I really enjoyed the cream ale. It was light, and had a small hint of cream soda. Ending a day of hiking and river swimming at the Lazy Hiker was fantastic. I would 100% come back. About that Lazy Hiker food truck... sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe not good. I'd give that a 3/5. They have no mayo on hand but make burgers... No mayo for the bun before it goes on the grill? That's kinda suspect. The burger was alright. It tasted more like a backyard burger with curly fries on the side. To be honest, it paired well with the beers but there's still plenty of room for improvement.

I looked we were 15 minutes from Valley River Brewery. My wife doesn't drink so food is a much. We came here. The staff was fantastic. I loved their beers. As a home brewer for 30 years (my dog is named Simcoe after a hop) i may be a little picky but i didn't find one beer i didn't like. I was very impressed. The food was amazing. Their desert we didn't need was amazing. When we travel back from Tennessee to South Carolina we have found a new brewery we will stop at. I wish they had a place we could eat with our puppy.

They also have homemade desserts. We got the cheeseburgers, Philly cheesesteak, and kids pizza, and gyro. Everyone was very pleased with what they got. The sauce on the gyro was one of the best sauces. The Philly cheesesteak was perfectly done and full of seasoning. The hamburgers were thick and almost hard to eat because of the size lol! The staff was friendly. We ended up with a pie to go, which everyone said was very good.

However, they had a little outdoor area which was nice and all the people working there were so pleasant.
