    Volcano Burger
    Leslie R.

    We have been to Wharf Hill Brewing a few times, and I always get the same thing, the volcano burger! Onion ring, jalapeños, and beer cheese? Yes, please! The sweet potato fries are delicious and served with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce. They also offer a beer flight; I especially enjoy the red ale. I love the tavern style of Wharf Hill with the exposed brick and antique style chairs.

    Stopped by to grab a quick drink. Did not try any food but did check out the menu and will come back to eat some of the delicious food items that they had listed. ! Sat at the bar and the bartender was helpful with helping my husband pick out a beer. She gave him two different samples and he found a beer to drink. It was later afternoon on a Saturday but the bar area was busy but it seemed like everyone was being taken care of and the food that came out looked yummy. It's a cool bar area with lots of wooden accents and just a downhome feel.

    Somewhat tucked away on a side street in Smithfield, we missed this treasure! What a great experience with an amazing somewhat erie historical background! Seems this old building was a funeral home / crematorium. All the wood, tables, everything are from original historical buildings. As I understand the story, the kitchen area now - was the crematorium. Well, whatever they were "cookin", some deliciousness with a side of "fried green tomatos" was on the menu. We delighted in the stories as much as the food! From a super beefy burger to my amazing blackened Cesar salad, it was a welcomed treat to our hungry bellies! Our server Kylee was fantastic and super attentive! Definitely one to add to our regulars! Highly recommended!

    Flights and pints!

    Came here on our "Tour of Smithfield" for Father's day. Make sure you make reservations as there was a line for the dinning area. We stayed in the "bar" area. We came for the beer this time around. If you are going as a group. I would highly recommend car pooling. Parking is limited because of the location. Beer is delicious. They have guest taps as well, so make sure you read the whole beer menu.

    Volcano burger

    Good food. Shanghai wings were crispy and tasty. The volcano burger was really good too. A bit messy to eat but best burger Ive has in awhile

    Mediocre stout

    Ask the Community - Wharf Hill Brewing

    Do they still have a specialty drink/cocktail menu?

    I think that they did have a specialty cocktail menu the last time I went (September 2022) but I did not pay much attention to it.

Per my last review, the beer and facility are spot on great. But seriously the customer service that Yvette gives makes it feel like you've stepped into your beer home. :) And maybe we're biased but the loves she gives Coco makes us super, super happy (picture to follow). The ongoing great customer service, beers, and atmosphere make me want to represent this place 100%. We walked away buying a tin tacker and a sticker. If they had a flannel, I probably would've bought that too. I actually meant to buy another shirt on the way out but I forgot. It's all good though.. we'll be back. :) Food Taste: n/a Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: A bit narrow but very relaxed, chill atmosphere that makes us enjoy being here.

They had musical acts playing and the tent had heaters and was completely covered since it was a rainy day. Also had a food truck on-site for all the hungry people. Today was Flame & Pie and it was delicious as usual! Families and adults are welcome and enjoyed an afternoon of good music and drinks! And pizza!

    Afterglow Brewery is hidden in the "cut." Converted warehouses near the train tracks, and the…read moretrains run frequently. It is a cool spot with plenty of inside seating, and there is an outside party tent in the back. On my visit there was a food tent and the food was exceptional. They are also literally next to a taco spot. Tacos and beer equals a great time. What makes Afterglow extra special is they have plenty of TVs, which is an after thought in most breweries. On Sunday I got to watch every NFL game I wanted. Plus, they are dog friendly, kid friendly, and generally people friendly. The BEER: Kolsch Call kolsch 5.2% ABV... some citrus, maybe lemon peel. It was refreshing. Sticky Situation session IPA 5% ABV... not my favorite flavor profile, east coast hoppy, quite dry, definitely all day crushable Sprocket Surgery IPA 6.7% ABV... Wow, thus has a burst of flavor, slightly juicy, dankish, and so weird I got sandlewood, like that is a flavor, lol Redefined DIPA 7.6% ABV... YES. Everything I wanted in a beer. Fruity, hoppy, juicy I also had a full pour of the toasted west coast IPA and the Dad Vibz pilsner, but that was way later in the day on my second visit. Yes, I circled back around on this brewery because it was worth coming back. All the beer here is good, and the service is better than the beer. Okay, maybe they are the same.... GREAT!!!

As soon as we arrived, we noticed all the vendors and couldn't wait to walk around and check each one out. Since we were a bit hungry, we walked over to the food trucks but there were only two, Rosa's Lumpia & Pancit and Mockingbird Pasta Bar. Neither offered any food items we wanted so we decided to grab a bite nearby at the Sanctuary. We had a decent time at the Norfolk Flea Market but unfortunately, we didn't find anything we wanted to purchase. I definitely wouldn't mind checking out Afterglow Brewing though the next time I'm in the area.
