    Craft beer flight
    Jeremy R.

    This is an excellent down home restaurant. While in town my wife and I came across this place and boy were we surprised. The staff were very friendly and the service was prompt. There is plenty of seating as the restaurant has a second room off of the main area. The food was amazing and very fresh. We tried the Philly Cheesesteak and the Cheese Burger. We also had the cheese sticks and a 10" pizza. We will be coming back to this restaurant soon.

    Quaint restaurant with yummy pizza! Arrived with a party of 5 and it was around a 15 minute wait to be seated. The restaurant is small so be prepared to wait if you have a larger group. I ordered the 14inch pizza and added fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and black olives. It was perfect food for after a hike! I tried their beer as well it was good- just not exactly my type. They did not have any sours on the menu when I was there. They had some chocolate cake which looked delicious I'll have to get the next time I'm in the area!

    After checking out the area a little and walking downtown Murphy, we decided to come here to grab something to eat. They are located on Tennessee street right near the square of Murphy, NC. The place has two rooms for seating areas. One bigger area near the bar with all high top tables and another smaller room off to the side. We were seated at a table near the bar and the kitchen. We were provided menus and had a our drink orders taken. The menu is pretty basic with pizza, burgers, salads, chili, sandwiches, bar type appetizers and a few basic entrees such as fish and chips. They have about 11 of their own beers plus a few guest taps. We started with a pretzel with beer cheese which is a go to for us and when it arrived we each decided to order a 10 inch pizza. The pizza's are all "build your own" with the individual toppings listed. My wife ordered the garlic butter topping with mushrooms, and sliced tomatoes. I chose the marinara with extra sauce, meatballs and pepperoni. When our pizzas arrived the server let us know the cook mistakenly made one of the pizzas in the 14" size, it was huge. We enjoyed our pizza's the servers were very friendly.

    Changing my review from 2 stars to 1 star. Apparently there are some trashy employees who work here and are leaving messages for me since they were offended at my first review. It not my fault your food sucks.

    AMAZING PIZZA! We stumbled upon Valey River Brewery during our trip into the heart of Murphy. Parking: Plentiful street parking. Service: Great! It's a super chill vibe. The food came out so fast! Food: * 14" Cheese Pizza ($14.99): We added in the pepperoni and red onions for ($1.25 each). Valley River's pizzas are super cheesy and delicious. I loved every bite. The toppings are below the cheese, so it doesn't get overcooked and dry. * Mimosa Cider ($2.75/half, $5.50/full): For all my non-beer drinkers, this one is yummy. You can order the half portion for only $2.75! Everything is very reasonably priced. Portions are good. They are very generous with the cheese, haha. We had a great time. I would FOR SURE come back for their pizzas.

    Delicious Barnyard Pizza & their Hanging Dog Double IPA (DIIPA) that's one of the best I've had. Great food, drink & owners - love us some Valley River Brewery!!

    Locals recommended this eatery on a recent vacation in the area and there's good and okay to choose from. Food 3-4 Stars Beer 3-4 Stars Service (during our visit) 5 Stars Located in downtown, the small-town atmosphere of the place was not dampened by COVID restrictions put in place IMHO (note here that you might want to call ahead to reserve a table). Masks are required except for when seated at the table and the spacing of occupied tables helped the social distancing. Our party of six waited about 15 minutes for an open table. That said, the wait person for us - Ashley - introduced herself, apologized for the wait, and kept us informed of wait time and when we could be seated. She was definitely a 5 star server! The food and beer was a mixture of average to real good. AVERAGE: - Soft pretzel and beer cheese dip was regular store-bought and the consistency and flavor of the dip did not stand out - My gyro sandwich consisted of store-bought pre-sliced meat (I should have known better) and normal fixings - Fish and Chips - everyday batter dipped Cod and the hand cut fries. For us, the fries arrived over done. REAL GOOD: - Onion rings - hot, right amount of batter and what onion rings should be - Pizza - wood-fired and tasty for pepperoni, cheese, and 5 veggie pizzas. Thin-crust (note here that pizzas take longer to cook) - Nottely Cru - a "Champagne" beer at 9+% (I had just a taste due to my DD status) Also, for the adult beverages, beer, cider and wine are available. Also, if you're looking to try more beers, the flight was fairly priced. On a final note, if we ever get back to Murphy, we agreed we'd drop in again for the pizza.

    Excellent pizza and service. Low key brewery and eatery. Brewed are delicious as are the onion rings. Try it out!
