Service and ambiance was literally instant. I got a two-meat tray with pulled chicken, pulled…read morebrisket, and two sides of BBQ beans and potato salad. The meat unfortunately would have been kind of bland without the sauces (mustard and classic red respectively), but even with them, they were kind of dry. The potato salad was cold, but had good flavor. The beans were the best part of the tray, as they tasted like sweet BBQ sauce. Overall, kind of a mediocre BBQ experience, but I'm not above the possibility of returning and giving the brisket, ribs, or fries a shot.

Nope it's like fast food. ***U must order 1st, get your own drinks, utensils, sauce and wait for them to drop off your food at table. It got so busy close to noon by locals coming in but it's a good thing. Wow food was here quick, yummy. We enjoyed everything! Order combo with 3 meats, chopped bbq, ribs, chopped brisket, beans & red slaw, hush puppies, & side of jalapeño hush puppies Red wagon plate for my kid. Excellent! My husband said the chopped brisket was ok. I think most of the food is made in house even the chips! Crunchy, less salt and great. Servers are nice & smiling, clean table, seats, floor. Outdoor seats for summer time. Mtn view is lovely. Glad we came!!!

We walked downtown Black Mountain and noticed the large mural from a distance and since I love a…read moregood beer, we decided to stop in. At the time we didn't realize that Roberta Flack was born in Black Mountain and the mural on the side of the historic building was in fact Roberta! When you step inside it is cozy and comfortable but we could see there was a large outdoor space as well. I stopped in at the counter and decided to order a pint of their Hazy IPA. We wandered to the outdoor space which is two levels, we explored the upstairs area first since there was a thunderstorm we thought it would be cool to watch the rain and lightning while sipping on a cold beer. We also learned there was a food trailer at the back of the property, which looks to be a permanent resident. They offer items such as pulled pork, poutine, brisket, and more. We ended up chatting with other customers and had a really enjoyable afternoon. We enjoyed our time at Black Mountain Brewing and will absolutely be back!

While walking through the town we stumbled upon the beautiful Roberta Flack mural that adorns the…read moreside of the building without realizing it was a brewery. The first cool thing about this brewery is that it taught me that Roberta was from NC, which I did not know. So, we decided to go and immediately it took be back to the golden era of small breweries. I loved the atmosphere here, again it took me back to when craft beer was a community, and not an industry as it is today. I had a flight with the steam beer, pale ale, West Coast IPA, and barleywine. Everything was on point and very well made. My friend had the American Lager and we also tried the Czech-style lager, which ended up being my favorite. A huge plus and thank you to our bartender who brought us delicious, in-house freshly-made pork rinds! If I lived in the area, this would be my Cheers.

Would've been better if the food had arrived warmer. I know some people like to eat their food at…read moreroom temp, but just not my preference. In my experience, if eggs "over easy" are cooked at too high a temp the whites become leathery. I know some people like that leathery white thing, but just not my preference. And no, the eggs being room temp didn't offset being cooked in too hot oil. The biscuit was doughy (maybe just undercooked) but I was able to eat around the edges of it and the edges were actually tasty. Sure would've liked to have had a whole biscuit tho! I know some people like to eat their biscuits at room temp, but just not my preference. I prefer them hot, I think they taste better. A hot biscuit also helps to melt the butter and at the risk of sounding like a prima donna the cold little bricks of butter I tried and failed to spread on it became a bit of a turnoff. The home fries seemed undercooked but I was able to eat a few. Nothing really special about them, just seemed like a potato chopped up and pushed around in grease. I did like the jam/jelly selection, nicely done. Some may wonder why I didn't complain or send this back. I had an appointment down the road and wouldn't have made that considering the initial order took 12 minutes from payment to plate landing on the table, so a re-do would've been??? no idea how long. Sometimes it's better to just tough it out. It wasn't busy, there was no line to order, about 6-8 patrons total in the restaurant. I was surprised at the wait, but part of that was my order getting crossed with someone else. The other guy who first got my plate shouted over to me that he didn't sneeze on my food, so that was nice.

The bartender described some of the local beers that we were not familiar with and took our order quickly. The grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and flavorful and the fries were cooked to a golden brown, just the way I like them. Ambience was "bar casual" with a mix of locals and out-of-towners. It's a fun place and located in easy walking distance from the White Horse music venue.
