Excellent food and beer! I had the Rueben and my wife had the sausage sampler -- both were awesome! They also have a great beer selection, but ask what isn't on the regular menu. I ended up having a Lager that they said was like 'a campfire in your mouth.' It was absolutely awesome! Highly recommend! read more

Weeping Radish Farm Brewery - Classic Reuben and Corolla Gold beer - Breweries Near Me - Grandy, North Carolina

Ordered a Ruben, and it was ok. Nothing to blow you away. Wasn't a lot on the menu that was exciting, in fact kind of a small menu that lacked a number of signature German dishes. It's really just a brewery with pub like German food.... read more

Weeping Radish Farm Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Grandy, North Carolina

That was pretty bad. For a place that made DDD, is a butcher , and supposedly has some history of serving acceptable food. It misses on all measurable factors. Guy should ask for his poster back, and stop referring the place. How can someone up charge for sweet potato fries and then serve cold, greasy, black whatever the heck that was. I would say it wasn't the servers fault but holy crap how do you not see that? That's your job to make certain the food isn't crap! Cold pork sandwich, cold and un done and giving the stomach issues for a day or three. Ok so the regular fries weren't that good either. You have a source for good frying fat and you don't use it? You are a butcher supposedly never heard of lard? Better food can be had at duck duck burger. read more

Disappointed that when she'll says they are open, they really aren't. Stopped by to buy beer for the weekend checked Yelp to see if they are open. Pulled off the road and parked. Got out. Saw the people inside working. But I guess they decided they didn't want to sell their inventory. No sale for me. Nor, the other guy that pulled I to the parking lot in my way out. Just too bad these small businesses choose to not keep their doors open for selling their goods. Just too bad. read more

We've been planning to visit this brewery since we started planning our trip to the OBX. This place was a little farther from where we are staying than we had hoped (Corolla) but we still had a great time. We were seated quickly especially for a table of 9 and our waitress was amazing. Honestly best waitress we've had this whole trip. She volunteered to take our photo, explained menu items, and was knowledgeable about the beer. I ordered a kolsch which was pretty good. I'm not much of a beer gal but I usually like the Kolsch style. I also tried their homemade root beer which was pretty good. The waitress was kind enough to let me order kind of a build your own sandwich. I'm admittedly picky and find it very nice when people accommodate it because I know it's annoying. Honestly the waitress made this experience for us. Food was good not great, but still really enjoyed our visit. Bonus: they have goats read more

This was our second visit to this spot and significantly worse experience than the first. The beer was ok, but there was lipstick on the glass and I felt slightly uncomfortable that when I said it out loud the waitress didn't address it. Even though there are many menu items noted to have been featured on Diners, Drive In's, and Dives we opted for a couple different items. We had the fried green tomatoes and fried pickles to start, and we split the Reuben. The fried green tomatoes came with a great roasted red pepper sauce that was pretty good, although in a plastic to go container. The fried pickles were beyond too greasy! The Reuben was pretty good, but needed more sauerkraut. The corned beef was really very good! The sandwich was a little greasier than I like it, but it was ok overall. We did get some andouille (which we also got the first time) and thoroughly enjoy that. If you are desperate for a stop, go there and grab some sausage, but it's not a fantastic tourist attraction like Guy Fieri once knew. read more

Say farewell to an OBX favorite! As of 9/5/23 the current owners have posted that they have no plans to reopen the brewery/restaurant due to extensive renovations required. I have no idea who or where the beer is being brewed but it is still available in various locations on the OBX. read more

Finally got a chance to go. Walking in it was a bit dark but a very large open area. We were promptly sit and given menus, we ordered the beer sampler and a pretzel, all really good and Candy was our server and she was great. We decided to get the sausage sampler, and were blown away how delicious they were. Out of this world, took some home. If you love sausage you have to go and try it, you'll be sure to bring some home too!! read more

Here is the 2023 update I promised. There is no take out as promised by the new owners. A sign on the entrance door has a phone number if you want to have your Deer processed, you know, into venison from your successful hunting of local game. I have no idea if beer is still being brewed there or someplace else, as there are never any cars there and I don't think beer can brew itself. Their website appears abandoned as well, but you can buy one of their hoodies online. Maybe. I am not holding my breath that the Radish will reopen in my lifetime. read more

I just had to go here because as I was driving down the road I saw the goats. It is a big open space that has a rustic industrial vibe. They offer up some interesting beer and meats. They have a little cold case of prepared items and meats so you can go in and purchase to take home some of their specialty items. We all really enjoyed our food and drink here. Worth the stop. read more

Some really good eats here!! We stopped while enroute to OBX on a Saturday at the start of lunchtime, during the off-season. Got here just after 11AM and within an hour, the place was packed! It's a nice butcher/dining hall style restaurant that is also a brewery. Menu is really nice and prices are really fair! Service was great and very friendly as well as attentive. The items we ordered tasted amazing! They have this HUGE pretzel that comes with the sausage which was served very hot and was fresh, soft and delicious! Their sausages were AWESOME! So was the curried ketchup - YUM! Can't wait to return! read more

Weeping Radish Farm Brewery - A trio of sausages - Breweries Near Me - Grandy, North Carolina

Very friendly employees, but I just wasn't a fan of the beers. We ended buying a four pack of 4 different kinds and didn't really care for any of them. Just not my style, I suppose. The reason why this gets 3 stars, however, is because of the bratwurst, the pound of sauerkraut and the ribeye we also purchased which were all gobbled up and delicious. read more

I know why the radish weeps...because it's stuck in this place. Came here in mid-April with a bunch of friends, and maybe the weren't ready for large parties or they were short staffed but it was just a super unpleasant experience. We were there almost two hours just trying to get burgers and beers. Tables that came after us had already eaten and paid before we saw our entrees. It was an excruciating wait because we were all kind of hangry. The beer was okay...I got the flight, but they were out of the two beers I had hoped to try so I had some substitutes. I did like the Black Radish and the Hefeweizen. The food was a mixed bag. Appetizers were okay. We liked the fried pickles and the sweet potato liverwurst. However, we had two orders of fried pickles and got one puny container of the dipping sauce. Not cool. Those of us who had burgers were disappointed. Full disclosure, the waitress said they had to cook them to 170 degrees when we ordered them and we didn't listen, so we were served hockey pucks on a plate. I guess that's a law in North Carolina or something (probably pushed through by lobbyists for the pork industry) but the burger was just very dry and not tasty, although the fried egg on top of mine was good. Fries were of such a low caliber that I didn't finish them. If you know me, you know they have to be pretty bad for me not to finish them. The sausages were of good quality and they were tasty, but nothing that would blow your mind and make a trip here required. The garlic sausage was SUPER garlicky. Don't plan on kissing anyone for a week after eating one! I will say all the servers were nice, but they didn't back one another up. Our waitress was MIA for awhile and another came by to clear plates and my friend asked for a beer and the woman replied "Oh, your waitress should be back sometime soon". Which turned out to be 10 minutes. Okay, if you don't want to increase your tabs, that's cool. Listen, this place seems to try hard so I don't want to bash it, but I would not return nor would I recommend it. This place needs to have a "Bar Rescue" or "Hell's Kitchen" makeover. read more

This place is a hidden gem! If you live within driving distance of the outer banks this place is well worth the drive. It has nice charm and is a quiet place. The menu is not the biggest but the food is great. The cheeseburgers are awesome and they are served on pretzel buns. The kids had some all beef hot dogs and they were really good as well as my wife's crispy chicken Caesar! Now to the good stuff.... The beer! I had a flight that came with 7 four ounce house beers for $10. 2 of which were seasonal. All of them were great beers. The weizen and ruby radish were my favorites. We purchased 1 liter bottles to go for $6.99 and when the bottles are brought back you get $2 off your next one! You can't beat that! Local craft beer rocks! The service was fast, attentive, and friendly! The food was fresh, hot, and very tasty! The beer was cold and fresh. Local food and local beer is the way to go! So glad we stopped here.... We will definitely be back! read more

We had a really nice experience today at the Weeping Radish brewery. We came in with a group of 9 around 1PM and they were able to seat us immediately. Our waitress (who's name I didn't catch) was probably one of those nicest and most attentive waitresses I've ever had. This was a very cool location all the way from the farm, to the brewing floor, and into the restaurant. While I wasn't exactly smitten with the beer, everything restaurant related was absolutely top notch. I absolutely loved the fried pickles appetizer, the Bavarian BBQ sandwich, and the onion rings. The others in our group seemed to really enjoy meals ranging from the Southern Belle Chicken sandwich to the Reuben. The menu that we viewed online originally only listed German foods but the one you're given when seated has many more options. I'm really glad we didn't let the online menu scare us off from this great restaurant. read more

This place is amazing. I am a big fan of the black radish beer especially. The service is always great and worth a drive if you're staying over the bridge in OBX especially since OBX doesn't really have any good eats. Having said that, they offer sausages you can grab and take away to grill/cook at home. The service is great and the place is clean. Highly recommend read more

Weeping Radish Farm Brewery - Fried Pickles - Breweries Near Me - Grandy, North Carolina

Very interesting space.....Thats the first thing that caught my attention when we walked in. The beer was pretty tasty, the service was pretty good, but the food was the star!! I was lucky enough to get soft shell crabs, the special of the night, fresh from the pier of the waitress. For 12.99, I got 2, along with fries and coleslaw, and they were really good sized. I was really happy with the freshness, but even more so with the value of such a special item! I also go the sausage sampler, thinking the crabs would not be enough, and I was curious.....The kraut that came with the sausage was the best I have ever had! The sausage popped, like good quality sausage does and was very lean. I will definately be back to eat at this place again!! read more

I loved the original location in Manteo and was not happy when they closed their doors. Much to my delight, the new location in Grandy makes it easy to stop for a beer and a brat on the way to the Outer Banks. You can eat inside or outside on the wide open deck. We arrived around noon and took a table on the deck. Our server, Sally, was at our table taking drink orders within minutes. My wife had the "Yours Truli", a German-inspired wheat beer. I had the seasonal IPA that is brewed with locally raised hops that gives the beer a citrus flavor with some bitterness. Both of us enjoyed our beers, so much so that I bought a 5 liter keg to take to the beach house. So we ordered lunch and watched the dogs regard each other (they're dog friendly!). Among other things, you can choose from a one, three ir 5 sausage platter that comes with sauerkraut and a huge homemade pretzel. You can choose any combination of sausages that you desire - kielbasa, beer brats, andouille - to name a few. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced! I love the store where you can buy cheese, sausage, beer and dessert! The staff was Frieda s helpful. This is a must if you're heading to the OBX! read more

Solid 4 stars, easily. Service was wonderful, menu was pretty interesting, food was good, as was the beer. Took a pit stop here for lunch coming back from OBX and am glad we did. We split the sausage flight, and though nothing was incredible, it was fun to try the different types. I also had the beer flight. This was a great deal with a flight of 7 tasters for $10. Beer was pretty good, with my favorite being the lager. On to the food. They had both German classics, such as schnitzel, and American/southern items. I liked that they offer fresh veggies depending on when they are in season. Ultimately I went with the southern belle sandwich, which had grilled chicken, a fried green tomato and a red pepper aioli on the side. All in all no complaints with the food, very satisfying. Our server was friendly, charming and prompt. A+ for service! Worth a stop OTW to the beach! read more

Weeping Radish Farm Brewery - Southern Belle w/ Fried Green Tomatoes - Breweries Near Me - Grandy, North Carolina

If you stop at Weeping Radish, North Carolina's oldest microbrewery, then you are probably on vacation. Don't let this random location near the Outer Banks fool you. It is a brewery worth visiting if you are interested in classic German beers and foods. If the schnitzel doesn't fill the void in your stomach, you might venture outside to see the goats, which might fill the void in your heart. Faces that cute don't normally make an appearance at a brewery, but this is also a farm. It is a unique experience with classic beers. In a world full of non-Reinheitsgebot ingredients and "what's new?" it is nice to experience something traditional and well crafted. read more

We ended up here by accident. This is the first brewery in NC I believe is what they said? Opened in the 80's a true German beer brewery. Tons of different sausages and meats. They have a nice little menu for German food. We met the owner and he was really nice, asked us about our experience and how we liked the beer. There are a tons of seats inside and outside as well as a little Billy goat you can pet. (Maybe I dunno if you're allowed too but I did) We just got a beer flight which had like 8 different beers for only $10. Great price! We didn't enjoy the beers too much though. Maybe German beer just isn't our fav? Def a cool place for the beer and meat lover! read more

Another one marked off our TV Show Food Spot List! Weeping Radish was our first stop on our way into Kitty Hawk over Labor Day weekend. Had seen them coincidentally enough a few nights before heading out on vacation. It was a Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives episode. We popped in for a pint and to share a few appetizers. All of the sausages were killer! We got the 5 sampler sausage plate which was great. They were so good we ended up buying some to take to our rental when we left. Also tried the liverwurst which the guys said was excellent. Potato Cheese soup (which was featured on the show) was pretty good. French fries came out cold and limp. Not good at all. The pretzels were good but they seemed a little stale tasting. Almost like they were day old. I was expecting more. Service as pretty good but after we had paid and I was in the car I noticed that our waitress charged us $3 twice for sides of their homemade mustard. We actually only ordered one and she didn't tell us that it was $3 for a 1 ounce side dish of mustard. Other than that it was very good and we would pop back in again next time we are down that way. It was pretty busy when were there (pulled in around 11 on a Sunday) waited for about 20 minutes for a table and when we left there was a huge crowd of people waiting to be seated. Just something to keep in mind when you go. read more

Danke Uli and Sophie Bennewitz for the great beer and lunch. I feel as if I have been to Oktoberfest in August. I really enjoyed the black radish beer. The german potato bacon soup was Sehr gut. The sauerkraut is made in house. Your pastrami Reuben on the homemade marble bread was I think the best I've ever had. Thank you for a day of hoppiness in the rain! I will be back to visit and hopefully come early enough to catch the tour. read more

Have never been to Weeping Radish & know it's been open for many years (1986) so thought I'd give it a shot. Three friends & my dog went on a gorgeous day to sample their goods. They have an outdoor area where you can bring your dog, however we had to ask if they had any umbrellas to put out on this sweltering day. I thought that was odd. A dog bowl outside had what looked like old, dirty water. Nothing I'd let my dog drink. My thoughts are dog friendly doesn't quite go far enough. I decided on a beer I saw they had (on another ap) but was not on the menu, which they said the had. Their beers it appears are not very highly regarded. I asked if they had it & was told they did, great. Unfortunately the beer I got was not very pleasurable. For lunch I ordered a wrap with smoked turkey, ham & bacon with lettuce & cheddar. I was asked what side I'd like. Turns out my only choice was fries which I didn't want so I told the waitress to hold the fries. Guess what, my wrap came out with fries anyway. Not a big deal, I gave them to my friends. I did taste a few & they were way too salty. I won't be back here again. I've been to some great places on the outer banks this week but unfortunately this wasn't one of them. read more

Weeping Radish Farm Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Grandy, North Carolina

It was okay. Honestly that is the best way I can describe it. I have had much better German Cuisine and I have had a lot worse. It seems that the places that I have been so far that have been featured on the TV show Triple D, have been mediocre. The root beer was good. Sweet but not sickening sweet. I can't drink the beer but people in my party told me after a few minutes it tasted all the same which means either beer dominated the others or the flavors were not that different from one another. The pickle chips were a bit to greasy. The loaded potato soup was the only thing I would eat again. I had the pork schitzel was way, way to fatty. The red onions were okay. My spatzel was over buttered. The strudel we had was good. So not great, but not horrible. read more

Beer was excellent. Sign outside says they have charcuterie which is true - they sell cold cooked meats, however, they don't have charcuterie boards on the menu. 3 sausage sampler was good, pretzel was slightly overdone but still good. Pork schnitzel was excellent. Liver pate which was featured on triple D TV show was just ok. Ambience was unique and very German feeling. Cool place. read more

Three of us went in for lunch yesterday and Karen L was our server. While the food and the wine was good the service was really phenomenal. We had an absolute blast with her.

20-30 min wait at 12:30 pm which ended up not being that long - Lots of open tables with not enough staff. Once seated our waitress was friendly and quick. The pretzel and catfish bites were good - the sauce that comes with the catfish is great. The fried pickles had lots of pieces that were just breading. We each ordered sandwiches (burger, bbq and a club) and while they were good the fries were floppy and nobody ate them. It's not the worst place but I wouldn't rush back for "great" food either. read more

Weeping Radish Farm Brewery - soggy sweet potato fries - Breweries Near Me - Grandy, North Carolina

I love beer. If someone told me I could live on beer alone, I would be tempted to try it. I also know that not all beer is created equal. Craft beer is King! And NC has plenty of craft beer to satisfy my thirst. But where did it all start? At Weeping Radish. So, naturally, I had to visit during our OBX vacation! We decided to make this a lunch destination and arrived around 2pm on a Thursday afternoon. As we had expected, there were very few people in the restaurant, and we were seated immediately. We ordered a flight and the Catfish Bites to start. To be honest, I wasn't overly impressed with the beer. Many of the brews were a bit tart. The Black Radish brew was my favorite and is definitely a beer I would drink again. The Catfish Bites were also good, but not the best that OBX has to offer. I know what you are wondering: why the 4 star rating if everything is mediocre? Because not everything was "just ok". The sausage... oh that delicious, fresh, perfectly seasoned sausage... If I could eat it every day I would! It truly is fresh. They make it right there so it is free of all of those annoying preservatives. We tried 6 different kinds, but the Linguica was the best. I will return for that alone! After our meal, we walked upstairs to a great overhead view of the brewery. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and we shall return. I am forever grateful to Weeping Radish for starting the NC craft beer trend! read more

Weeping Radish Farm Brewery - Sausage 5 Sausage Sampler with a Soft Pretzel - Breweries Near Me - Grandy, North Carolina

I would go 5 if the beer was outstanding but it's not. The beer is good but not worth a 5 star. We tried a flight which was pricey, but a good variety. I asked about a beer and the waitress got confused and brought me a pint of one I would not have ordered, which was ok and I drank and paid for it still left a nice tip. Our favorite was the Schwartz beer and the red ale. The food was good. I got the 3 sampler sausage. I got the beer brat which was good but not exceptional. I got a Cajun one that was really good, and had good spice. But my favorite was the linguica. It was amazing. The sour kraut was good and the pretzel was tasty. I would recommend their hot mustard for the brats, it's amazing. My wife just got a salad, not a good place for vegetarians. But for me it was awesome. I will stop again for the brats. Yummy. read more

It's summer season to the OBX so I get it...until I realized that it was the crowd but being understaffed that was causing the wait. Oh and no pretzels today either.

Awful. Service was rude and totally unsanitary. Chewing gum, wiping face, then refilling glasses and serving food. All without washing hands. The food was just as bad. Our apps took forever to be delivered and had zero flavor. The food took even longer.

Picture it. Saturday afternoon. Lunch is calling. On Yelp, there's a place nearby my beau's parent's house and it has brewery in the name. My heart rate picks up and adrenaline starts pulsing through my veins. Yes, please! I can't really emphasize my disappointment. The farmer's market that welcomed us at the front door wasn't open yet, but the good were begging to be bought. We were seated immediately, and were ready to order beer. Enter problem #1 - according to our server, the taps were frozen. Not something I've ever heard before, but I'll go with it. Ice tea will have to do. The beer is finally available and we order the Ruddy Radish. Decent brew, but somehow it's not all that cold. Hm.. The food was decent, but not fantastic. The grilled chicken salad left a lot to be desired, considering the amazing veggies we walked by when we entered. Chicken was despairingly overcooked. The burgers looked really good, but I don't eat red meat so I have to give a visual review rather than a taste review. My dining companions ordered the Classic and Farmhouse. Uber messy, but I heard they were delicious. Another ordered the bratwurst and said it was good. I'd like to try more beers, but the whole "farm" and "brewery" part fell short. Maybe I shoulda just ordered a radish! read more

Great atmosphere.. you can order samples for beer and sausage. The dining area is very open and the options for food and drink make it a great experience. I ordered the beer sampler which gives you more than 6 diff beers that are brewed locally here, we really enjoyed that. Additionally, the fish and chips was really good. Homemade fries and the fish was crispy and fresh.. highly recommended. You can go upstairs and look down on the brew operation. Looks like a great time. We will def come back! Thanks. read more

Of the three breweries in OBX this one had the best beer and most authentic experience. Their black lager and kolsch are very tasty. From a can, from the tap, or the mini keg. These are great SESSION beers. The food is also good - with fresh housemade sausages. The service is young and inexperienced so the waits are way longer than they should be. We were thew on a random thirsday night, the place was half empty, but we still were asked to wait 40 minutes. And the bartenders were totally confused - apparently they didn't know how to open a tab. In any case, worth stopping for the beer and sausage. And head upstairs to see their brewery. read more
