Reviews for Blowing Rock Draft House & Brewery in Hickory, NC
Place is so slow at making food. Kids pizza took almost 1 hour to make. Couldn't never get a refill on soda or water within 15... minutes of asking the waiter. The price and quality of the food versus the long wait time is not worth it. I would have ratherdrove to Giovanni's all the way in Taylorsville and ate there instead. Definitely will never be back and nobody I know will evengive this place a thought. Read more
Great choice of beer and foods. Great service too! Favorite beer: Blowing Rock Cloud Rise Hazy IPA Food: Giant tator tots,... wings, and spinach dip w/pita chips. Read more
Stopped for a drink and to use the wifi for work. We had our dog with us. They were very nice and the location is cool. We sat... in the beer garden area where they had a bunch of heaters outside. Dogs are not allowed inside because they serve food. But thatwasn't a problem. They brought our dog a bowl of water. The beer was good. The staff was very nice! We would go again. Read more
Delicious food, enjoyed the pretzels with beer cheese and the Carolina Bison Burger. Beer was cold like it should be, loved my... experience here! Read more
Wonderful service all the time, this is my 4th visit and each time I've loved the food and beer. Today I had the thin crust... Margherita pizza which had a great homemade type of crunch and detail to the flavor, the sauce was delicious. I've had thewings, fish and chips and bison burger before and out of everything, the bison burger is a must. If you're stuck on beerchoices, you really can't go wrong with any of their Hazy IPA offerings or Kolsch. Would love to come back and try other pizzasand chicken sandwich. Read more
The overall experience was great!! One of the pizzas was seemingly burnt, and our waitress was very sweet and apologetic!... Offered to re-fire a new pizza but the cook said it would look the same... we definitely recommend this place! ???????? Read more
Update 2/2020: service and menu and have gotten better. Had a great experience at Blowing Rock. Since they changed ownership... the menu was condensed but it still offers enough option to satisfy anyone's appetite. I had the bison burger that was grilledto excellence. I asked for medium and it was cooked to medium. The sauce had a nice blend of spices, and the grilled onionswere sauteed. I've been eating here semi frequently over the past 3 years and it gets better. They've really focused on qualitymenu items that mash up ingredients. There are some traditional menu items for those, and they have some fun menu items to becreative. The bison burger was off the charts. It was ground (I like medium or slightly less) and it was executed perfectly.The grilled onion had that nice charred taste with the sweet/savory bbq sauce and topped with thick slices of bacon. Just lookat the spinach artichoke dip. Thick, chunky peices with creamy sauce. The pita chips where slightly crispy and soft and fluffyon the inside. And the bison pizza. Are you kidding me? Incredible. Pretzel sticks were eaten in a flash. Service wasexcellent. We look forward to going back. Read more
Great beer, great food and great atmosphere. I love being able to sit inside/outside. The food is great, try the bison and the... beer sampler is the best in the area. I really like beer, lol. Read more
