Pinehurst Brewing Company

Beer options were diverse and good, many breweries tend to focus on a style, but there were different options to suit any taste. Food was good: tried the deep fried pickles and cheese, sample plate was great, pizza was also quite good. The service was great, both at the tables and at the goods zone. Table supports on the big high tops were very cool. There are also a few grain hole sets outside. Table had 4 BBQ sauces on them for use with your meal, the standout to me was Hop Sauce IPA beer mustard!

The food and drinks at this restaurant were excellent! The service was fantastic, with friendly and attentive staff. The ribs were especially delicious, and my favorite drink was the Hop Cluster IPA. I would have given it a perfect 5 stars, but I was disappointed to find out they charge $32 for a six pack of beer to go. This pricing just doesn't sit right with me.

I was impressed by the bartender, Chris, who helped me choose the perfect beer based on my preferences. The ribs are only offered on Mondays and Tuesdays, but they were worth the wait - large and deliciously smoked. The side dishes were all hot and tasty. The ambiance was great, although it did get a bit noisy when the restaurant was full.

The dining experience was average. The brisket was cooked well and had a good amount of marbling, but lacked the traditional Texas flavor that comes from a slow smoke with just salt and pepper. However, we were in North Carolina, so it was to be expected. The price for the brisket and two sides was $17. The restaurant had a good selection of beers and the hush puppies were delicious. Unfortunately, the smoked Mac and cheese was cold and not flavorful. Additionally, we were given the wrong side dish and our appetizer never arrived.

Talk about some damn good food! I wouldn't order brisket in NC because if you know brisket.. it better be made in Texas or by a Texan lol. This brisket was made in Texas for sure!!! We even asked for more to go. The cook did phenomenal on everything. I liked the simple menu. And we found the prices to be very proportional to what you get. Actually even on the cheaper side for the beer. A flight of 2 Oz taster beers was only $7. I know at other places they would have charged us 3xs that! The beers...... So. Damn. Good! The waitress was on point. Bathrooms were clean. I'd return every night if I could!
