68 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 9/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 14/20 SpringsLicker (120) Tennessee | May 30, 2012 I stopped here one time. Memorial day evening 2012. Early, not too crowded yet.
I had the ribs and my daughter had the Sirloin Tip Medallions that I don’t remember what they called. The ribs weren’t bad, but I’ve had better. A bit dry and not "falling off the bone" yet. Her Sirloin tip was very good.
The crab cakes we had for an appetizer were ok, but needed to be a bit crispier to be A+.
The service wasn’t bad, just inexperienced.
I ordered the sampler as far as beer goes. The beers were ok, but nothing that I would have wanted to take a growler home of. A bit light on flavor, most just needed a little more of everything. The stout was perhaps the best, the IPA was a good Pale Ale, the pale ale was a good amber ale and so on. | 76 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 5/10 OVERALL 14/20 EKGoldings (14) Radford, Virginia | February 2, 2013 I have been here dozens of times. It is very well managed, the service is usually excellent, food prepared quickly, and the place is clean. I dislike the smaller than pint glasses they use for the beer, but I really like the pulled pork sandwich and the chili is second best in town. The better Scotch selections are too expensive in my opinion but they do have a few interesting ones. For BB, a solid choice. | 80 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 9/10 SELECTION 11/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 16/20 strongpieman (97) Mount Airy, Maryland | August 23, 2012 Nice place in Blacksburg. Large conventional restaurant area complemented with a large bar. We had excellent service, food was solid with a nice selection, good options on the house beers. We’ll definitely return. | 78 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 9/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 14/20 BeerandBlues2 (457) Hanover, Maryland | September 7, 2011 This is a very nice and new place in Blacksburg. It was packed though not as much as I expected following a home game. The service is very good. All the beers are solid, and there were 6 or 7 house beers. The food is well-prepared and quite tasty. | 84 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 13/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 17/20 robgibbens (16) Gaithersburg, Maryland | July 12, 2011 This brew pub is pretty large inside the dining area and the bar is large. The decor is nice and the service was good. Food was above average but was a little expensive. The beers were all pretty good and I even bought two growlers. I got the sampler for dinner and it had all 9 beers, which was nice. | 72 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 11/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 13/20 LilBeerDoctor (208) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | January 1, 2011 Stopped by this sports bar/restaurant/brewpub on a Thursday afternoon. It’s located in a strip mall and appears to be a hangout for Virginia Tech fans. There were a fair amount of people dressed in VT garb for lunch (although I’m not sure why as there didn’t appear to be a game going on...). There are numerous TVs in the bar area. It’s a spacious place and the bar is pretty long. The bar has this frozen ice bar along it where you can rest your beer (I guess to keep it cool? I’ve never seen such a thing before). As one might guess, the place offers a number of BBQ meats. I had the chicken BBQ sandwich which was ok, although I had been expecting a little better...There were ~8 tap offerings mostly consisting of your standard offerings but the ones we tried were pretty tasty. Overall a nice place to go for lunch and some beers and seems like a good place to go to watch some local sports. | 60 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 10/15 FOOD 5/10 VALUE 5/10 OVERALL 10/20 APHokie (6) | October 30, 2010 Hit or Miss....sometimes is great...sometimes is bad. Beer is pretty decent but expensive (you are paying to drink a "local" beer I guess.) BBQ sandwhich is probably the best thing they have. | 56 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 6/10 SELECTION 6/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 5/10 OVERALL 13/20 freekyp (31) Thomasville, North Carolina | October 17, 2010 Upscale chain feel to this brewpub, sent in a shopping center. Good food, however, and well crafted brews. Big Virginia Tech college hangout. I went during a big home game and service sucked, but the beer was well crafted, if a little run-of-the-mill. | 52 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 6/10 SELECTION 4/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 6/10 OVERALL 12/20 obguthr (19) Poquoson, Virginia | June 27, 2009 It is set in a new development of upscale boutiques. Outdoor seating is available. Beer is brewed and meat is smoked on site. The beer was decent and covered a variety of styles. Unfortunately, there were only 7 different beers at the time of my visit. Six are served year round and there is one seasonal, which for me was a hefeweizen. I missed their IPA which was offered in the spring. I’m hoping they add a Belgian to the rotation, since they don’t yet offer one. My black and blue burger was good and the kettle chips were great. The beer was reasonably priced and they offer a very affordable sampler of all beers. The food was priced higher. They also sell and fill growlers. Even though I live 300 miles away, I think I’ll go pour myself some of their dunkel right now! | 50 AMBIANCE 2/5 SERVICE 6/10 SELECTION 8/15 FOOD 5/10 VALUE 6/10 OVERALL 9/20 Zeswaft (111) Seattle, Washington | May 21, 2009 wow, this is my 100th place rating. I’ve always made it a point to rate every beer place i go and i’m disappointed with myself that this is where i ended up at 100. Possibly one of the most mediocre brewpubs ever. Every single beer was pedestrian. If Budweiser tried to brew every one of these styles, which i’m sure they have and i’ve had, they’d taste exactly like these beers. otherwise, totally ordinary strip mall sports bar atmosphere. |
