Good beer. Food is good, but a little pricey. The food is never bad, but sometimes it's not as great as the prices they charge would suggest. Last time the fries weren't fresh. They were barely warm and a little on the limp/soggy side. Portions are a little on the small side, too. Some dishes ...

This is one of the places my family loves to go when they are in town. The river company has a great atmosphere and sometimes there is even even live music. They also brew great beer and the view from the back deck is spectacular. This is a very unique restaurant with high ceilings and a fireplace. ...

Arrived late on a weekday evening but within posted serving hours- about 45 minutes before closing. After being seated, I was informed the kitchen had already closed but a couple of entrees were available. I had hoped for a relaxing dinner after a long work day but obviously not on this evening in ...

Our family went here after my daughters graduation from College and I can t tell you how bad our experience was. We had a party of 7 and of course they don t take reservations or allow a call ahead. When we got there, Emma at the hostess station was so rude that I can t believe the owners want her t...

We had a bit of trouble finding this place, but once there it was terrific. My husband and I sat at the bar with Aaron as out bartender/service/historian. He was very attentive, helpful in our menu selection. Although a micro brewery, we drank wine. Had a filet n sirloin. Both were cooked to perf...

This place used to be amazing. I don't know what happened. It's not terrible, but the quality of the food has definitely dropped significantly over the last two or three years. I used to save up money to take my family here, now I can't justify the price. The beer is still great.

Used to be a decent steakhouse a brewery but has dramatically declined. Service is terrible, food is only okay, beer is nothing to write home about. They capitalize on being one of the few nicer restaurant s near Radford, but that shouldn't be enough to keep them in business.

And of course they d...

The food here is fantastic as is the decor. The restaurant is gorgeous with a wonderful outside area in warmer weather and a lovely indoor fireplace for the colder weather! The service could use some advancing to get where it needs to be. Beer is delicious, there is a view from the dining room into ...

DO NOT WASTE MONEY HERE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

This restaurant is comically bad. From beginning to end, it was a complete disaster and demonstration that the management has no idea how to run a higher-end restaurant. Honestly, what I saw tonight points to management that couldn't run a greasy s...

Have been here several times in the past few years. This trip we had delicious prime rib done as we asked, however the beer (which was why we went there) was not good. Not sure why but suspect that the original brewmaster is not working there anymore....

Not what you hope for with the prices they charge (among the highest in the area). Not accommodating to guest requests, very limited selection of very plain sides to accompany workmanlike preparation of main dishes. Nice interior, though! Warning - they do not accommodate groups of more than 4.

You're paying for a pretty log cabin restaurant. Our service was not good. The food was over priced and lack luster. We had to send my wife's side salad back as the lettuce was brown and the tomatoes looked nasty. I ordered the spicy shrimp pasta which was $18 for five pieces of shrimp a

After a 2 hour process, I was refused service after all. The waitress was totally unprofessional, I'm not sure she knows that her job entails customer service. I am from New York, thus I have an out of state ID. I am always happy providing multiple forms of ID when asked. The waitress asked for my ...

My second visit here and hopefully not my last! The steaks are amazing! Don't be fooled by the lack of toppings available for your steak. You don't need truffle butter or crab meat, the steak stands on its own. It's flavorful, tender and delicious. On my first visit, I learned that the owner's cattl...

I have been here before with no major issues, HOWEVER, this time was different... when we arrived we went to the counter and were asked how many, for a name, and then handed a pager without any idea of wait time, a smile, nothing. Ok no big deal they're busy... then after waiting for 30 minutes and ...

Atmosphere and the building are first rate. Clean, well decorated, feels like a mountain chalet. Craft beers are interesting. Some seem a little plain while others stretch the style limits, Chill Chaser comes to mind. Simple menu but tasty.

Only 2burgers on the menu so we tried them, both dry, fries unseasoned, didn't really care for the menu. Husband liked the red/Nelson pale ale. He liked that they let you taste before committing to a beer. Thought the food prices we're too high. And could be more creative with their burgers. The atm...

Disappointing... "you can't seat if you your party isn't complete" seriously?. Five out of seven people were there on time, the rest were coming late, we lost outdoor table because of that. When I asked to put two tables together, the waitress came up with an strange explanation about why she couldn...

Their web site said no reservations on Fridays so we traveled the 30 minutes to get there one hour before they closed and was told they weren't seating "walk-ins" anymore. Must be nice to turn folks away with empty tables. Really? It's that first impression that counts and we won't be back.

We've been trying to get here for a couple of years and never made it. When we finally were able to dine here, we weren't disappointed. Atmosphere is quite cozy especially with the view of the New River. Service was quite friendly. The food quite tasty. If you are in the area, I would suggest stoppi...

Usually I would dress the part but time constraints denied this. The food was AMAZING, the service exemplar...

Interesting brewpub, in a new, exposed beam main dining room that has 2 story ceilings.
Craft beers were great, and the food was reasonably priced and delicious.
The views of the New River and the Radford campus on the far side, were nice.
Large fireplace was a nice comfortable feature, as well.

This used to be my favorite restaurant in the area when it first opened, but it has gone downhill drastically since then. I used to try to stop in here about once a year when I would come in town, but have started looking for other options in recent years.

Food was way over seasoned. The hamburger was juicier than the steak. Vegetables were over cooked. Beer wasn't anything special. Risotto was undercooked. The restaurant was very disappointing for the cost...you can eat at the Palisades (in Eggleston, VA) for cheaper and get significantly tastier foo...
