Awesome southern cooking in the heart of Blowing Rock, NC. The chicken and mashed potatoes were on point. Will be back!

Sub par decor and sanitation grade of 92. Food was ok but nothing special. Just felt dirty eating there. In need of extreme make over.

Blowing Rock Brewing - Grilled chicken caesar wrap

Great experience! We went on a Thursday night and they were quickly able to seat our large party!…read more They have lots of beer options and had a variety of food options. The southern fried chicken sandwich was really good! As far as sides- they only have 2 options- chips or green beans but the chips were homemade and delicious! The server was very quick and attentive and the vibes in the restaurant were fun! They also have plenty of outdoor seating.

After a long day hiking, we made our way down from Grandfather mountain, enjoyed the views along…read morethe Blue Ridge Parkway as we drove to Blowing Rock. We found parking on a side street near Blowing Rock Brewing, so decided to enjoy a drink and get some lunch. We were seated quickly, near a heater, which was nice to help us warm up after being on the mountain. A waiter came by with menus to take our order. We asked for some suggestions, but he was a little less than enthused to offer advise. They had a good variety of beers, so my wife and I each got one, and shared them. We got the Pina Colada Kolsch and the Cloud Rise Hazy Ipa. Both were tasty, the Pina Colada Kolsch had a much stronger pineapple flavor than I expected, but in a good way. For food we started with the white cheddar poblano, which I expected to be more of a liquid queso for some reason. It was instead for of a soft, spread, which was really good, and paired well with the chips. And then we split the Turkey Reuben, which I figured would be made with deli meat, instead, it was warm, cooked chunks of turkey, really great flavor, and hit the spot for us. The sides with the sandwiches were a bit lacking, only offering hot chips, and green beans....I've never gotten the whole hot chip craze, but green beans just seamed like too odd of a side option for a sandwich It was a good visit, and a good meal, to get us back on our feet. Overall, a nice space, with bar seating, a back room, a back and front patio, plenty of space to hang out, relax and enjoy their beer. Food and drink were both good and worth a visit if you're in the area.

Twigs consistently provides delicious meals! The Thursday night bar filet is to die for! The steaks…read moreare always cooked perfectly. There was only one server in the bar area, but she did an amazing job if keeping all the balls in the air. This is more of an adult type of restaurant, with a cozy mountain vibe.

I have been eating at Twigs for 25 years. It was one of my favorite restaurants. Our experience…read morelast night was WAY off. Our server was amazing, our wine and salads were great. Our food was not up to par. The tuna was way too spicy (not eatable) and the trout (which is usually my favorite) had no flavor at all. Everyone has an off night and I totally get that BUT the worst part is when I called and tried to talk to the manager about it; she completely blew me off. She told me she had a hard time believing me because not one other customer had complained about their food. She also said I should have told her. We did tell our server. I didn't want compensation or anything, I simply wanted her to know because it wasn't their typical. She apparently is not interested in repeat customers. By the way this is the first google review I've ever done of this nature. Typically, a manager is interested in the verbal feedback of a customer. Her attitude with me last night squelched our desire to ever go back. (FYI.... based on our conversation last night: if you have an oyster allergy you need to tell them. Most of their dishes are cross contaminated because, in their words: "Due to a small kitchen, items are stored together and everything is fried in the same grease, including the fried green tomatoes.") I'll stop before I tell you about our burnt pecan blondie.
