    I have wanted to try the Flying Squirrel since the sign went up! I went this past weekend with my husband and daughter and had a great experience. The staff is so friendly and engaging. They offered suggestions for food and drinks and were just pleasant to chat with! The food was fresh and delicious. The drink menu is great--I especially enjoyed the "taster flight" that allowed my daughter and me to try some of the sweet and sour beverages! The menu has a lot of variety for all kinds of preferences and diets. There are tvs, a juke box, and even games. We will definitely be making a stop to The Flying Squirrel as a regular part of our dining out rotation!

    Walked in about 11:45 on a Saturday and we were there with 1 other table. Super friendly guy greeting us and took our order. We got beer cheese Philly hubby got fries and I got homemade chips. Everything made fresh and came out piping hot. Very clean place that you can even score some swag. Overall it was a great experience everyone super friendly and nice place. It looked like they had a Miata group coming in as we were headed out.

    It's rare to find a Po' Boy and a Reuben on the same menu, much less beer cheese too. Being fans of shrimp Po Boys, we ordered one with fries and some sides and discovered they also cut the fries in-house. The Po Boy was great -tasting and served on the perfect bread, so we will go back.

    Large brewery space on Sweeten Creek Road. We liked that they have a combination of their own brews and guest taps from NC. You can also snag a PBR if that's your thing. They have food with a large and varied menu. Friendly staff - we'd definitely hit this place more often.

    The owners of the former Voodoo Brewing closed that place, remodeled it and reopened as The Flying Squirrel Pub. They did a really good job. It looks almost brand new. The menu is similar but the beer list has expanded in a big way, as they are no longer limited to serving draft beers from just Voodoo Brewing. You order via an app/QR code or at the counter; they bring the food out and bus the tables. There are actually food menus at the tables, too, but the beer menu is so extensive now and changes frequently that you need to either use the QR code or look at what's written on the wall behind the bar. The staff are super friendly. The food is very good for pub food. We had one of their "craft macs" -- a play on craft beer I think, as there is no confusing this with Kraft mac-n-cheese. It was the buffalo chicken mac. Sometimes buffalo sauce overwhelms whatever it is put on top of, but not here. It's more subtle. It has good taste and nice heat. The heat builds, so I think this dish gets better as you eat it. It was dark meat chicken (no breading) and it was cooked to where it was a little crunchy. It reminded me of duck actually. Really good. The mac and cheese was excellent, too. It's made with chicken beer cheese (chicken broth and beer cheese I'm guessing). It was just the right serving size for lunch or as bar food. I paired it with the Guidon Brewing (Hendersonville) Hefeweizen, which was a great choice to balance with the buffalo sauce. We also had Max's Buffalo Blue pizza. The roasted garlic pesto sauce was fantastic, as was the smoked chicken topping with crumbled blue cheese and drizzled with a combination of buffalo and ranch sauce. Good sized pizza, hearty crust and great overall taste. This was paired with a Pluff Mud Porter from Holy City Brewing (Charleston, SC) and again was a great pairing. We'll definitely stop in again when we're down in the South Asheville/Arden area to try some other items on their menu and some other beers. Good amount of indoor seating and some outside as well (picnic table style, no shade though).

    We love going here because it's close to our house. We love having a place to grab some local brews without driving into Asheville or mills River. The atmosphere is nice but nothing unique. The food is good and service is great. The only thing we hate is that we go here on Thursdays for Music Bingo all the time and the prizes are downright offensive. Like... 10% off your bill or 1/2 off of Mac and cheese. Most places give 15-25$ gift cards and beer tokens. We are kind of burnt from that and will probably not go for that anymore.

    Was not expecting such a personality gem in this brewery! Was invited by my bestie and her boo, and met my boo up there for a quick drink and snack. Looks very family oriented too before dark, and dogs are welcomed! Meaning a lot of games for indoor and outdoor play. We had an appetizer that was freaking simple yet delicious loaded fry with Shredded beef, called "beer cheese fries," very filling. I had a delicious porter called "pluff mud", my boo had the "front bite." Delicious! I know what your thinking ,where was her dirty shirley? This place is Brews and cider! So shirley got a break!!

They also have merchandise on sale, and feature plants grown from a local store! For my beer I got Beach, Please! Which tasted like an elevated Modelo - it was salty, sour (lime), and fruity (mango). I loved it! They have a great selection of BBQ and even better, they have a section on the menu called "Just a Taste", where you can order smaller portions to create your own sampler platter. I got the side of smoked turkey ($5) which was pretty good The 3 bones ($9) pineapple habanero flavored; they were generous and gave me more than 3 bones, and the sauce was actually kind of spicy but it was still flavorful and savory! And Jalapeño Cheese grits which were deeeeelicious! It was the perfect consistency and wasn't overly cheesy. The jalapeño pieces were diced so you were able to get some crunch in each bite. You order at the counter and they hand you a number. You're free to sit anywhere and they will bring your food out to you. They also bus the table for you, so you can get up and go whenever you're ready. They also have a patio that's dog friendly, and a restaurant side. I went right at 11 on a Wednesday and by 1pm they were full on both sides!

The building is quite spacious with separate taproom/bar area, dining area and ample seating. Some artwork adorned the walls on inside & outside of building. We tried to beat the dinner rush and arrived before 5pm on a Saturday. Business offers counter service ordering with table number/delivery. We ordered 2 sliced brisket plates [sides were baked beans & smoky potato salad and jalapeño cheese grits (heads up diced jalapeños are crunchy/raw) & mashed sweet potatoes], pulled pork sandwich w/chips & pulled chicken sandwich w/chips. Meals arrived promptly. Customers have choice of 4 sauces: spicy jalapeño (green), mustard bbq (yellow), spicy vinegar and sweet tomato. Husband raved about brisket and the kids enjoyed their sandwiches. Brisket is available until they sell out--and I would probably order brisket w/o raw onion topper. Staff were pleasant, friendly, efficient, and appear to take pride in their jobs. Down side is they do not offer french fries as a side and we didn't imbibe in adult beverages. Highly recommend you check them out!

However, there was a misunderstanding when trying to get bocce balls. I thought that you had to pay $20 to use the bocce balls, but I wanted to edit my review to clarify that it is only a deposit that is given back once the balls are returned. As for the food, my Carolina Kettle Walking Nachos were also pretty good, although I would've preferred for a larger portion of nachos, despite being labeled as "walker" nachos. However, I came here with my mom's vegetarian family and my dog, and we were not able to sit together because there wasn't a lot of vegetarian options on the Back Porch menu, and we weren't able to sit inside because of our dog. I would suggest adding some more regular items that could be vegetarian to the porch menu, like pizza and salads. My family also paid $10 for a kids hot dog, it was just a hotdog and a bun with a side bag of potato chips. We thought this was pretty overpriced for what it was. I've been here before and have had good experiences and I hope to have more the next time I visit- we just won't bring our dog so we can eat from the taproom menu. .
