    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.

    Don't DRIVE BY!!! Stop - you won't regret it. Awesome place for a great beer and food. It's not your usual bar food. It's not a notch above but a leap above. Great staff - friendly , making the overall experience very memorable one.

    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!!

    We had an amazing time here. This place is really much more than just your average brewery and I am…read moreso glad we stopped here on our way to Asheville. We came on a Tuesday afternoon after hitting a couple breweries in the Mills River area . The area that the taproom in is really beautiful with mature trees and it's a huge facility . We parked and walked inside and headed to the bar. I got a flight and my boyfriend got an IPA. I thought the beers were really good and I liked that there was some that you couldn't find anywhere else . We also ordered some duck fries that were so dang good . As we waited for our food , we went to do a self tour of the brewery and that was great to see the history of Sierra Nevada and the different rooms that the processing occurred in. After our food we cashed out and took the remainder of our beers to their outdoor area . Once you pass by their amphitheater you went down this trail towards a little river and we went farther still and there was this whole field of yard games and tables that you could sit and enjoy right next to the rushing river (French Broad River) . All the staff that we encountered with was very nice and knowledgeable. Just a really fun atmosphere to be in where even the staff looked like they were enjoying themselves . I would highly highly recommend stopping in!

    The pros: lovely grounds that are well maintained. The…read morecons: The menu is really small and doesn't offer a lot of options. The waitress explained that menu is designed to be shared but the items were things like salad and a burger. I'm not sure into sharing a burger. So it was just weird to be explained the menu is a 'shareable' approach but the items were challenging to share. The vibe of the place felt like they were trying to be the fanciest brewery around and bring California to Western North Carolina. It was just really uppity. Personally, we like our breweries more local feelings. With so many other options in the area, we won't be back.

She provided some good recommendations too. We got burgers and they were all great, but special shout out to the vegetarian patty which my wife got blackened. It was one of the best vegetarian patties she's had. Hand cut fries were terrific, and we eve. Saved some room for the white and dark chocolate mousse cake, another great dessert.

Just a nice little place to go in and get some food, while dressing casually. The food is fairly expensive and I must say just basic in terms of flavor. I started with an appetizer brussels sprouts. The seasoning on the brussels sprouts was very nice. The portion was good, however, I left 3 to 4 brussels sprouts as they were undercooked and just too hard to eat. I personally don't like to pay for something I'm not able to eat. I tried a Caesar salad, as my entrée. The dressing was just okay. The lettuce was a bit tough. I did not finish the salad I have to say I was not thrilled. My waitress told me they seem to be known more for their burgers so if I ever decide to give this a second try, I think I'll stick with the burger.
