The staff was attentive and hustling (felt like they may have been down a server). We started with the Hofer's German style pretzel, waters and Octoberfest beers. After devouring the pretzel, we ordered the Margherita flatbread pizza, chicken wings and Greek salad w grilled chicken. While waiting, we enjoyed people watching and just being present with each other. All the food was made and presented well. The restaurant wasn't too loud, which was surprising for the constant stream of people. We enjoyed our experience and would visit again when in the area.

The music outside in the lawn was too loud for conversation, but the indoor seating is clean, organized, and comfortable. The bartender and the man at the food counter were welcoming and friendly!

SUMMARY (for those short on time) Porter Brew & Que Brewery…read moreis a barbecue restaurant with a brewery and full bar, tucked away in the back corner of The Shops of Dunwoody complex. The interior has a nice, modern feel with plenty of seating across the bar, booths with individual TVs, and high top tables. The food is great, and what you would expect of offerings in terms of traditional BBQ restaurants (ex. plates with meat and side options, etc.). I'd recommend Porter Brew & Que for lunch or dinner with friends or family, or a post-work happy hour gathering! PRE-DINING The restaurant/brewery is tucked away in the back corner of the Shops of Dunwoody complex, next to a Thai restaurant (formerly Com Dunwoody) and Dunwoody Tavern. There's plenty of parking lot space. AMBIANCE Being newly remodeled, the decor feels modern, with lots of seating at the bar and tables. There are also plenty of screens where you can watch any NFL Sunday game (they have NFL ticket with DirectTV). Your waitress will happily get you the remote for the TV at your booth if you'd like to change the channel. SERVICE The service was great, as we were addressed quickly and our server was very friendly. She was also knowledgeable in their craft beer selection, and let us taste any we were curious about. F & B To start, I had the Green Pond IPA and my husband had the Darker Smiles Dunkelweizen. Between the two, I preferred the Green Pond, and would order it again. He later ordered the Ode to Cream which I would also recommend (all were nice, and probably just a preference of what type of beer you typically enjoy). For food, we had the deviled eggs, and plates with two sides. I had the pulled pork with Mexican screen corn and potato salad, and my husband had the brisket with the corn and mac and cheese. They have two BBQ sauces to choose from, one a spicy sauce and the other a little on the sweeter side. I preferred the spicy sauce (golden spicy) and my husband felt the meat didn't even need sauce. The portions were very generous, and enough for us to take home for a second meal. I'd highly recommend checking out Porter Brew & Que!

For our meal, we got the full rack of ribs, brisket, corn pudding, and fries. The ribs and brisket were good, and the portions were generous. The fries were a little too salty for our taste, and the corn pudding just wasn't our favorite -- it could have used a little more flavor. The service was good and everyone was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a solid BBQ spot with good portions, and we'd be open to coming back and trying some of the other items on the menu.

We came to Greenline to quench our curiosity of what house beers were being offered. They have a…read morelager called Allenbrook and a refreshingly delicious light and hazy IPA called Shirtless. After relaxing and admiring the venue our host provided us with colored markers to add our names to the wall, which we did. I spoke to one of the founders of the bar who was an avid climber and his brother a surfer, who said the name of brewery Greenline derived from the previous business which was a deli. They restored the space which has some interesting words written on the historic brick walls - the profanity had to be hidden. The bar also had other beer offerings, which we did not try. My talk with Chris St Vrain, revealed how the brothers designed the jackets of their beers: Allenbrook with its rope designs on it and named after a secluded Roswell climbing wall; and Shirtless after his brothers' love of the salt life. We hung out for a short while and felt very refreshed. Nicole and I really enjoyed our time at this bar and hope to be back soon.

Only my second visit here, and service was just as great as it was last time. Atmosphere was busy…read morebut not loud. They have a very lengthy wine list. Lots of options for those who love the fishery part of the concept and just as many choices for those that don't. We ordered the bruschetta and enjoyed their take that used fig jam, prosciutto and balsamic glaze instead of the more traditional tomato base. They have house made focaccia that when brought to the table we instantly regretted having ordered the bruschetta, thinking we overdid the bread thing. But we both quickly changed our minds and consumed both with little guilt... I would go back just for the focaccia alone and wish they sold it by the loaf! Pastas are made onsite but they get the gluten free version from a different supplier to avoid risk of cross contamination. Hubby had the wild boar pasta. I had the pork chop. My chop was perfectly grilled and moist. I asked for the marsala sauce on the side since I don't like mushrooms themselves, but enjoy the flavor they can add. The weakest link was the mashed potatoes, served in two round scoops reminiscent of school cafeteria lines. Other than the shape, there was nothing memorable nor particularly flavorful about them. Next time I would try a different side and keep the chop. We didn't save room for dessert this time but will definitely get some next time. And there will definitely be a next time. Moderate price point, not an everyday spot, but shouldn't be saved just for special occasions either.

Well, after stopping by Coletta's for happy hour, we wanted to check out Rena's which was…read morerecommended by a co-worker. The vibe here was buzzing on a Friday evening which seemed promising. We opted to sit at the bar which I do NOT recommend if you plan on eating. It is extremely tight seating and the bartenders aren't not trained to serve food or have menu knowledge. The lack of the kitchen staff culinary skills became evident when looking at the menu with many seafood/pasta items being served with one sauce- a goopy cornstarch'ish lemon butter sauce. We wanted to try the scampi appetizer with their house made pasta - sans dairy which meant no lemon butter sauce. That seemed to throw a wrench and there was much back and forth between the BT to the kitchen explaining what that meant aka do not cook the food with butter use olive oil- not so complicated, right? 30 minutes later - despite the kitchen staff not being busy- reminder, we are sitting at the bar and watch the cooks looking at their cellphones instead of working... The small portion of a couple shrimp and scallops arrive. They were panned seared- highly seasoned but tasty. Pasta arrived dry ? Huh? Who serves dry pasta- ugh? I asked for olive oil again which never appeared despite a manager hearing the request. So, moving along, we decided to try the calamari. It came out much faster but the portion was enough for 8-10 people. BT- oh, I forgot to tell you it is such a large portion... Maybe offer a half portion? It was okay- nothing amazing except the quantity. So disappointed- we had high hopes that the vibe matched the food quality.

You can see the beer being brewed right in the seating area. Yes, ask the owner how it's going he's going to share with you. If you need to get out for the night stop by, get a pizza next door ( they will deliver it to you too). Come hang out have a beer or seltzer, this is the place to be in the weekends. When it warms up the outdoor seating will be perfect too. I highly recommend this hidden gem. Cheers!!!
