How many folks just pay without looking? This isn't an oversight, it seems intentional. Jalapeño Margarita: Menu says $10.50, charged $13.50 (wow!). Old Fashioned: Menu said $9, charged $9.50. I think the meal prices were wrong too, but they already took the food menu. I still had the drink menu to take this photo from. Buyer beware!

At the brewery, you order at the bar and pick your own seat. They have an ample beer and food selection. They also have a small selection of non-alcoholic beverages. They are dog friendly. Hillman brewery has tons of seating and has a lovely outdoor patio along the creek that runs next to the brewery. I had their kombucha and my husband had their beer. We both enjoyed our drinks. We shared their 'Soft Pretzel' appetizer with mustard and it was delicious! This is such a great place to come out and hang with friends and family!

We were greeted by every single one with a smile and happy energy, despite how busy the place was. There are so many times when you sit at a bar unnoticed and patiently wait for someone to look your way, but this was the opposite of that. Our drinks were ice cold and served super fast. We didn't try any food, but they do have a small menu of bar bites that sounded really good. My cider was crisp, and not too sweet. It seemed to be "the spot", because there were lots of people but we didn't have any trouble finding seating. Lots of people had their dogs with them, which is always a plus!! Overall a really nice vibe here!

Overall: 4.8/5 When: Friday 6pm dine in party of 2 Food: 4.9/5 - wow. I haven't had thai food this good in a long time. Thai Bliss is better than most place in Charlotte where I'm from. We got the shrimp tom yum soup, beef pad kee mao, and chicken pineapple fried rice. The tom yum soup was SO SO good. They gave me 4 large shrimp in there and did not skimp like other places. The soup had the perfect balance of spicy, sour, tangy and sweet. Honestly I was almost full after my soup but when my pad kee mao came out, i was thrilled with the portion size. The rice noodles were bouncy and chewy and the sauce was delicious. Some places overdo it on the sauce but the PKM was sooo good!! And lastly the pineapple fried rice. I didnt get a chance to try it but my partner loved his dish. Overall, the food here you can tell is authentic and fresh and you don't have to worry about small portions. You will leave feeling happy and full! Service: 4.7/5 - was greeted by a server as soon as we arrived. Service was very quick and they were on top of things. Filled the water often, bussed tables often, and brought the check over often. No issues at all, they were very prompt. One suggestion to make it 5 stars is giving recommendations to the guests such as "XYZ dish is a popular customer favorite here!" Or even giving a little background about the restaurant / staff. Vibe: 4.7/5 - very spacious, newer restaurant that is clean. Large windows letting in ample day light- i recommend asking for a seat by the windows if possible. Great spot for a quick casual dinner or even a nicer family dinner. Other: free surface lot parking

I could not believe I could get amazing Thai food in Marion, NC. This place has it all and it is…read moreall delicious. The only thing I don't like is the stairs to get to the front door. You can walk up the hill behind the restaurant if stairs are a problem. There is a side door you can enter through there. Once you are in the room is open and easy to navigate. I like the decor. The chairs are a bit hard but they put pillows on them to help, which is a very nice touch. Everything I have tried has been amazing. I have been here so many times now. Pineapple fried rice and broccoli and peanut stir fry are my go to orders, along with a basil roll as an appetizer that I could eat 20 orders of. I have not been disappointed. You know me and spice, these items are not spicy unless you ask for it. They have great spice level control. My sister in law likes spicy food, and she has tried the curries, the soups and the pad Thai. She keeps wanting to come back and always says how much she likes what she gets. Our first time there we spent way too much on trying almost every appetizer and several mains. We were impressed by all of it and came away so full because everything was so good we had to eat it. We have been pacing ourselves since then. Anytime someone says how about the Thai place? Our answer is Yes!
