"One of the rudest establishments I have ever been to. I came in a few months ago when visiting my parents in Brevard and the experience was bad then. No acknowledgement from staff even though I walked around a good 40 minutes. Cashier spoke at a decibel I couldn’t hear, but I assumed she said hello. However, I went this past Saturday to see if I could get a bouquet of flowers, much like they have at most grocery stores like Ingle’s or Trader Joe’s, even though the pickings are minimal due to the season. I politely asked a stock person, tall male, medium to thick build with black hair and a bowl cut, working in frozen foods, if they had flowers, explaining clearly I was looking for bouquets or single stems of some sort I could put together. Had he actively listened he would have understood what I was asking, but instead he said, “come with me”. He proceeded to walk me all the way from frozen food to a window that led outside to a patio, pointed, and said “see, um, no, we don’t have flowers”, to which I said “oh, this is where you would keep them?” He didn’t answer but instead, as he was turning to go back to his frozen foods, said “come back in the spring”. It didn’t dawn at me in the moment he was being an intentional a hole, as I was on a mission to get these flowers for my parents anniversary. Then as I walked outside, got in my car and drove off, I thought to myself “was he being a smarta ?” I realized, yes, in fact, he was. A smart is one thing, a misinformed smarta is another. Had he listened, instead of being mad I interrupted his stocking of shredded cheese, he would have understood I was asking for, as I know there won’t be plants or planting flowers this time of year…..We live in a world of minimal customer service nowadays and I’ve adapted. However, egregious intentional rude behavior is unacceptable. Clearly management accepts this type of behavior, as I can’t imagine with his lack of manners this is his first unnecessary interaction with a customer. What a little jerk. I hope you get better Food Matters. Of course, it won’t matter to me, as I won’t be back."

"Excellent food! I had the grilled chicken sandwich basket (includes coleslaw and fries) and I ate the whole thing. If I ever come back to Brevard, NC..."

"Really enjoyed our visit to this taproom. This is a huge operation and it was cool seeing the inner workings even under construction. Huge outdoor seating area. Great beers and good burgers. We tried a couple beers and they were all great and the food truck had some really good burgers and fries. We had the chub burger and the patty melt cuz I can’t pass one up. Definitely recommend stopping in and I would definitely visit again. Also, dog friendly!"

"The nicest staff and the most unassuming little hole in the wall! I’d venture to call it ‘quaint.’ We spoke to a group of people young child, mom, dad, and grandmother (the only local) who have all been going there for years and consider it their go to. We were seated at the sushi bar (due to lack of logistical options for a high chair), and fun fact that means you get crunch crab salad upon seating. YUM! Even my 2 year old was devouring it. And speaking of her, the sushi staff were so kind and amused as they let her watch them at work. My MIL, FIL, and husband all had teriyaki something (one chicken, one shrimp, one steak) and I had the Pad Thai. The servings were HUGE and each dish was equally tasty. Two separate servers stopped to drop off mints and coo at our sweet girl. We aren’t local but we do come down 1 2 times/year and will DEFINITELY be back!"

"We stopped by for drinks on a Tuesday night, which happened to be Trivia night, so it was quite lively. My husband enjoyed the great selection of beers, while I appreciated the two options of Chardonnay available. The establishment features a spacious U-shaped bar and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The bartender was efficient, friendly, and skilled. The only downside was finding parking. Overall, it's a nice local bar and eatery."
