    Love this place so much, always love coming here. The bartender Jen is the best! She always gives the best customer service! She was cracking me up with the best stories! Always kept my glass full and left me feeling like a princess! If I could give her 10 stars I would!

    Gem! Spacious dive bar filled with antiques, taxidermy, dollar bills on the ceiling, $2 beer (for real) stage for bands, ironic logo, and no pretensions. If I live here this would be my jam.

    The back bar. This place was once a Greyhound station.

    We randomly stopped here on the way home from Asheville!!…read more We are so glad we did. We chose to sit outside, and people watch. The food was delicious. They made a great NA Bloody Mary. Get the poutine!!

    We've been to Hell or High Water a few times now, and honestly--it still feels like one of Black…read moreMountain's best-kept secrets. Every time we go, I'm kind of shocked it's not absolutely packed. This is part of the Foothills Meats family, and if you know their spots (the butcher shop, the food truck, The Grange, etc.), you already know--they don't miss. So we went in the first time pretty confident, and they absolutely delivered. The space itself is great, but the rooftop is the real standout--easily one of the best views in Black Mountain. It's such a good spot to sit, have a drink, and hang out. Speaking of drinks--the bar is excellent. The bartenders have always been great, super easy to sit at the bar and enjoy yourself. They've got a strong liquor selection and fun, well-balanced cocktails. Now the food. Everything we've had has been consistently good, but our last visit really stood out. We shared the pork katsu sandwich, the sweet potato biscuits, and the poutine. The pork katsu was done really well--crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that classic crunch from the cabbage and a slightly sweet, tangy katsu-style sauce. I also really liked that the sauce was on the side so you could control each bite. The sweet potato biscuits surprised us--in the best way. Those are easy to mess up, and these were not. Soft, flavorful, slightly sweet with that savory balance, paired with ham, sorghum butter, smoked cheddar, and red eye gravy--it's a really thoughtful combination that just works. And the poutine... so good. Crispy fries, rich mushroom gravy, and cheese curds that actually hold their texture. It's hearty without being heavy, and every bite felt balanced. For the level of quality they're putting out, the prices are very reasonable--which makes it even more surprising that it's not more crowded. It's right in downtown Black Mountain, but we actually drive all the way from Flat Rock to come here--and it's absolutely worth it every time. Overall, this place just nails it. Great drinks, really solid food, beautiful setting--and somehow still flying a bit under the radar. Definitely worth checking out.

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!

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.

    Adorable restaurant and bar that had an amazing outdoor area! We went on $5 mimosa and Bloody Mary…read moreday - those Bloody Marys are delicious and you can get them spicy or non spicy. Their menu had totchos (tater tot nachos) which were loaded to the brim, hot dogs and burgers. I got the burger with chili and slaw and highly recommend it. The ladies were sweet at Foothills Grange. It's an order at the counter type of place. They gave us lots of beer and cider samples to taste before we decided on drinks.

    Stopped by Foothills Grange in Black Mountain otw to Asheville and absolutely loved the setting…read more The location is great, the outdoor seating area is awesome, and the overall vibe feels like a perfect place to grab a drink and hang out with friends. That said, the food itself landed a bit in the middle for me. I ordered the smashburger Carolina-style (asked for no raw onions) and unfortunately it still came with raw onions. My bigger gripe was the burger itself... the patty was noticeably smaller than the bun, which feels like a bit of a crime when it comes to smashburgers. Flavor-wise it was fine, just nothing that really stood out. I genuinely wanted to love this place because everything else about it is great. I did like Foothills Grange overall, but I'd probably recommend it more as a spot to grab a drink and hang out rather than a destination specifically for the food.
