Our most recent visit to the Loaded Goat started out poorly, but was quickly turned around by some amazing staff. We went for the Thursday fish special. The order that came out of the kitchen looked like it was from frozen sticks. My wife questioned it, and almost immediately the manager arrived; apologized, and took the order away. He said the cook didn't batter the fish correctly, and offered us a free appetizer while we waited for a fresh order to be cooked. Both he and the waiter apologized profusely and even gave us a free beer. We're not the type of people who complain to get something free, rather we point out issues that management might be unaware of. Because of their prompt response and sincerity in apologizing we ended the night on a positive note. (BTW the second order of Fish and Chips was excellent). read more

We dropped in here for lunch during a Friday visit to Mount Airy. No clue why this place only has 3.7 stars. It was PERFECT! Very clean, SUPER nice staff (owner greeted us), the food was great and the portions were huge. Coming from Charlotte, the prices were extremely low too. Wife had the arugula salad and added chicken, which was massive and had about $8 of sliced Parmesan on it. I had the Fried Green Tomato BLT with Tots. If you're a tots fan, totally get them here. Order extra crispy. We were very very happy with everything about the place. (Waitresses name began with an M and was delightful). Also, the 3 floor sports store in the same building was super cool. Highly recommend both. read more

The Loaded Goat - Fried green tomato BLT and TOTs. There were more tots behind the sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Just had a 50$ lunch here, 1 beer, 1 mixed drink 1 burger and onion rings. The onion rings are good but you only get 6 for 5$ the crunchy tater tots are awesome. The burger was overcooked and didn't seem seasoned at all. My fiancé and I split the burger and were charged 3$ for the privilege. And charged 50 cents each for a side of mayo and ranch. It's not 50$ lunch good, it feels like they nickel and dime you and when I brought this to the managers attention he offered a discount next time. I declined there won't be a next time. read more

I came in with a friend for lunch. It's been several years since I've eaten here and really don't know why it took so long to return. Today I had the blackened chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. My friend had a burger with regular fries. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy but it took a little longer than expected for our food to arrive. However, because it was so amazingly delicious with everything cooked to order and cooked to perfection, the wait was totally a non issue. Our server was pleasant and accommodating. Although the restaurant is also a bar, it does not have the barroom feel. The interior is bright and airy. read more

We went for lunch during the week. Fun spot, friendly staff and quick service. The food was great. Definitely check it out. read more

I tried to visit this place a while back and they weren't open, but this week as I was nearby, I was able to finally come have lunch. The spot is a little weird, around the corner, but they've done a decent job putting up signs. The inside is laid back, sorta pub-ish. Nice little bar area. I was told the burgers are great here, so I ordered the chef's special burger, which was a cajun blackened burger. The burger was really great. Nice and juicy, tons of flavor. One of the best I've had in some time. I ordered onion rings with it, because that's a thing for me. They appear to be the standard onion rings, not house-made... but good. Nothing wrong with a standard onion ring cooked just right. I was waited on by Raven, who was smiley and always nearby. Overall, I definitely have to come back and try more stuff! read more

Omg good was amazing. Husband got a burger... which they recently won the burger competition for NC. It lived up to that definitely. Jared was our waiter... he was great. I had the blackened chicken sandwich. So goooood. Ambiance was welcoming and warm. Highly recommend read more

What a cute and yummy spot! Great drinks and fun atmosphere. I had the blackened chicken with goat cheese. Highly recommend! Our waitress was new but WONDERFUL!! Will be back! read more

When we arrived for lunch they were pretty busy with larger seated groups plus there were two groups waiting for a table. Lucky for us they have a small bar that had open seats for the 2 of us. The servers were friendly and hustling to serve everyone . They seemed to work very well as a team. We settled in at the bar, ordered drinks and our meals. There is a tv at the bar that was playing Mayberry reruns that were great! The goat burger was terrific. Cooked a perfect medium rare and served with yummy goat cheese. The tater tots were yummy - hot and crisp! My husband ordered the sausage fest. He thought it was ok but not as good as he had hoped. We really wanted a Loaded goat tshirt but were told they were on order. There is a "sister" store a few doors down that sells them but they only had one color. Maybe next time! read more

Wow. Hidden gem for sure. Fried pickles were a hit, the spicy ranch was amazing. Had to get an extra for the burger. The dynamite burger was fabulous. Added pimento cheese and that went so well with the spice. The fries were my favorite type of fry. Thicker than shoestring but very crunchy. Service was top notch. 10/10 would recommend, and definitely consider driving up from Charlotte just to have it again. read more

My husband and I have been here a few times now and we've always enjoyed our meals. Great service and a neat little spot located in downtown Mt. Airy. Today I had their black bean burger, which is not on their current menu but we were told they are working on their new menu now. The BBB comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. I also added bleu cheese crumbles to it; so so good! For my side I chose a side salad with their house made bleu cheese dressing. My husband got the Bacon Cheeseburger with a side of tots. He ate every last bit of it. We both enjoyed a Red Oak that was on tap. They have a large beer and mixed drink selection. The fried pickles are really good, too!! Go on and go now. read more

The only complaint I have about this place was how long we had to wait to get a table and then to get our food once we ordered. The food itself was fantastic though. The burger was big, juicy, and cooked perfectly. It wasn't really spicy even though it had jalapeños and their special hot sauce on it. I tasted the pickles more than the spice. The fries were amazing though, a good amount given and nice and crispy. I'd come back here for a burger, but I think I would give myself more time so I don't get hangry before the food comes out. read more

Tony and I went to the Loaded Goat in Mt Airy, NC just to have a drink at the bar and check out the restaurant. We were greeted by the Hostess and I asked her if we could just go straight to the bar. They were busy and we didn't want to occupy a much needed table for dining when we knew we would be in and out soon. I promised Tony that we would go bar hoping if I could choose and I chose this one due to the name. The Loaded Goat is named after the Episode on Andy Griffith where the Goat at the Dynamite and Barnie locked him up in the jail cell. Part of the decoration in the restaurant is scenes framed from that episode. They are located on the second floor so there is a nice view of main street from the windows. The restaurant is lovely. The bartender wanted to know if we were eating and I told her NOPE just bar hoping and she served us immediately. Tony had a PBR and I had a coca cola...I asked for cherry and lime but she gave me grenadine and lime..I guess its okay not what I asked for..but it tasted fine. Our check was only $4.65 so I left her $2 tip and we left when finished. We will definitely put this nice restaurant on our list to dine at when we are in the area again~ read more

We stopped here for the highly rated burgers (on yelp of course) and they did not disappoint! We ordered fried pickles which I got a great picture of and when my black and blue burger came out I was so excited I forgot to snap a picture. This restaurant was very clean, the staff was so busy and still short staffed ( like most places) but they were fantastic. Everything was hot, fresh and incredibly delicious. Great job yelpers. read more

The Loaded Goat - Fried pickles. Very large portion and delicious - Sports Bars Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Typical American tavern type food very typical of the restaurants in the area. Nothing special but everything as you would expect. Seems to be a lot of hype as the wait is extensive 90 minutes plus during peak times strongly recommend the reservation. Ambience is typical American tavern. During our visit, they must not have had enough serving staff because there were many empty tables yet still an hour wait at the door. Regarding the food, we had burgers which were OK. read more

This place was recommended by local as best burger in town and we had to see for ourselves We stopped in for lunch. I got the bacon cheeseburger and my wife got the goat burger. Both were juicy and flavorful. We would definitely return if in the mood for a good burger. read more

Cute little bar & grill in Mount Airy. Nice staff & great burgers! We got the: FRIED GREEN TOMATOES: Wasn't crazy about the batter they use. Sorry but they could be so much better. FRIED PICKLES: Same as above. THE GOAT BURGER: Excellent, but definitely heavy. And goat cheese is, so not really complaining here... Still loved it! BANGIN' SWEET ONION & MUSHROOM BURGER: My man LOVED it! SIDE SALAD w/ RANCH: Good, but I missed having some croutons. Still... super fresh veggies & great ranch dressing! Overall we enjoyed our visit & I'd recommend checking this place out! read more

The Loaded Goat - Onion & Mushroom burger, super fresh side salad, & the Goat burger- damn good! - Sports Bars Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

We were visiting Mt Airy for the first time and we thought the menu looked good so we arrived and parked at the public parking lot across from the place. There was plenty of parking there. As you walk in there are TVs all around the room and there is a bar to the left with lots of tables to sit. We were quickly seated and our waitress was Kelley T. She was friendly, professional and thorough in her service to us. The food was really good. I had a bacon cheeseburger and my wife had the chicken fingers. They have a decent beer selection as well. When my friends arrived they had a dog so while we could not sit upstairs we did sit at a table at the bottom of the stairs where my friends were able to be served and have the dog there. The whole staff just went above and beyond for us and we will definitely be back. read more

So the food here was average. Nothing blew me away. The fried pickle chips were good. The sausage plate was fine. The burger was fine. Also tried the fried green tomato sandwich and it was just fine too. read more

Hands down THE best burger EVER! Service was great. Our waitress was funny and sweet. She gave great recommendations. The price was VERY reasonable. Lost 1 star for ambiance. It was so silent it was uncomfortable. Everything was sticky. It wasn't a hole in the wall kind of place so the sticky floors and tables didn't fit the yummy menu. I would definitely go back. Screw the sticky awkwardly silence. The burger was fantastic. I can sit in silence. read more

Food is amazing, service is great. Menu looks so simple but the flavor knocks it's out of the park. The seasoning of all the food is on point. read more

Hands down my favorite meal of all time. The burger was so flavorful and all the toppings paired so well together. The sweet potato fries were coated in cinnamon sugar and the dipping sauce was perfectly sweet. AMAZING. FLAWLESS. PERFECT. read more

The food was great! The customer service was lacking. When you have to crane your neck for multiple minutes looking for an employee because everyone needs a refill it effects the experience. We will try again with hopes different folks be working during our next visit. Can't go wrong with sweet potato fries! read more

Very nice atmosphere and service. The food was delicious. I had their cheeseburger and side salad . The house dressing was spectacular! We will eat here again read more

This is a good place. We came because my kids and parents are obsessed with Andy Griffith and my stepdad heard the ad on the radio. Service was slow but very nice. We got there right at opening so things took a while because the kitchen and bar was bombarded. This is all understandable given the rush so no fault here. Fried green tomatoes and Goat Burger were amazing. The rest of the food was "meh". I asked for no red onions on the Carolina Burger because I am allergic- there were red onions In the slaw. Cocktails were ok- nothing award winning. Overall the biggest winner was the attitude of the staff which was 110%. I would probably go again but try something different. read more

The cost of a bacon cheeseburger was $17.50 + 18% service charge + $1 for the cook (!). Then the audacity to suggest 3 levels of tips for the server. The food is average. We live here and won't be back. I suspect their hoped for type of client is the tourist who is one and done. Can't imagine volunteering for a second trip. read more

When I order at The Loaded Goat, I order the burger and a box. The box because the burger is so big that half of it will go home with me for lunch the next day. They have unique menu items, fun themes for some nights and the food is always top notch. By far one of the best places in town to eat. read more

Oh My! I so wanted to love this place! Not the case at all! Food was mediocre and our waitress seemed not to want to wait on us? Out appetizers and food came out at almost the exact same time!?!? My chicken club was not remarkable.... Not sure why is was billed as a "Club?" The sweet potatoe fries were wonderful! Not sure what the dipping sauce was but it was yummy! Hamburgers are very small and not remarkable.... Biggest disappointment was that for a "Sports Bar" of sorts.... There was NO Baseball Playoffs On!!!! The staff told us they only showed NFL Games?!?!?! Hummmm....... read more

My wife and I ate here for lunch today after touring the town. I ordered the dynamite burger with onion rings and my wife ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and onion rings. I have to say this was the absolute best burger I've had in my 48 years. My wife also says the same. Not sure what magic ingredient they use but it works. We highly recommend this spot if you're in the Mt Airy area. read more

Dined here on a Thursday evening with my family of five and found it to be a pretty decent little sports bar on all fronts. The atmosphere still has the same warm and friendly feel of the two restaurants that preceded it still highlighted by squeaky oak floors and original brick wall. The menu is, as one might expect from a sports bar, dominated by burgers, sandwiches and appetizers. The burgers all hovering around $10 each, are every bit of the half pound that is advertised. We tried the Carolina Classic and standard cheeseburger and found both to be pretty good. Tomato was a little mushy however and the brioche roll was a bit dry. The sweet potato fries and regular fries were acceptable. The salads, on the other hand, had a few pieces of rotten greens and tomatoes and cucumbers were a bit slimy. The service was very attentive and friendly, while the overall sanitation score was an impressive 97. read more

Waitress had a bad attitude, no smiles. Beer was cold. Took a long time to get our food. Tater tots were very good, chicken tenders past well done. Burgers ordered by son and grandson were not good. Grandson ate maybe three bites of burger said it was not good, he did enjoy the fries. Brought the burgers and the chicken home and fed to the dogs. Probably will not go back!!! read more

Food - good - we ordered burgers and tots. Cooked medium as we like. Service - good. Host was informative and accommodating Waitress was ok - did her job - brought us our food. Ambiance - nice bar except they advertise as a sports bar when they are not. There are NFL banners hanging and advertisements for NASCAR. Beautiful Saturday afternoon and 1st weekend of college football - we were excited to grab a burger, beer and watch a college football game. Instead we were told they only have free TV which was showing rabbits in their habitat. I would return for the food but not the "Sports Bar" read more

Definitely a hidden gem. Heard about it on the radio and will be coming back. Service was very polite and fast. The food was delicious. I got the regular burger with pepper jack cheese and seasoned fries. The burger tasted very well and was thicker then other places. I would highly recommend this place as your next eating place.:) read more

The burgers and onion rings were DELICIOUS!! Our waitress was great too! She offered good advice about the menu!

We had heard so many people talk about what a great place this is. But we were disappointed. The beer was super cold but the food was less than ordinary. We won't be back read more

Not just a "burger joint" amazing food and service. Our waitress was super kind and not one bit rude even though they were packed! The wait of about 10 minutes to be seated and another 20-25 before our food came out was well worth it. They were extremely busy but the waitresses worked together well to make sure everyone was seated and taken very good care of. We had the Dynamite burger. The burger was super juicy, they used FRESH jalapeños for the burger and it was just overall great. Pretzel sticks as an appetizer, best pretzel I've honestly ever ate. The cheese dip was phenomenal as well. Definitely recommend if you want a great burger! read more

This was my first time going here. I had been wanting to go but it's always so busy. We got there today after being told we didn't need reservations but still had to wait about thirty minutes so it wasn't too bad. It was seven of us in our party. They served us drinks fast and took our orders quickly. I ordered the Carolina burger with no bun and sweet potato fries. It was really good and plenty messy. Only issue I had was they charge a service fee on each ticket and it varied on all of them. I didn't notice it at first so I left a nice tip and then saw where they had already gave themself a tip. It was all good and I would recommend going here when or in your in the area. It was worth the wait and money. By the way our waitress was awesome read more

The name will fool you. This place has the #1 rated burgers in the entire state. You will not go away hungry, and unless you have an enormous appetite, you'll be needing a take home box. On my most recent visit I had the chicken finger appetizer. There were 3 huge fingers and a plate full of sweet potato fries. They make everything fresh so don't be in a hurry. The make their own dipping sauce for the fries. Another at my table had the fried green tomatoes. It was a complete meal. The servers were so friendly and helpful. They were ready to serve and make our experience one that will guarantee a return visit. read more

Excellent burgers. We have eaten here twice and the food and service were outstanding.

We found this place via an internet search. Food was good. Service was a bit slow, but they were busy. What I did not like was the extra 2.50 on my tab "for the kitchen". When I asked I was told it was so the kitchen staff could be paid a good wage. Why tag an extra charge on the bill, pay staff properly and price your menu accordingly. read more
