foothills brewing

although our service was not the greatest in the beginning, we hit the manager up and he promptly fixed the situation. food was good, live band was nice. atmosphere was decent. price was right. overall, i'd recommend it for a night out on the town.

terrible. can't say anything about the food or beer because i didnt make it past the hosts stand. after blankly staring at us for a minute, he looked around the restaurant (with a number of empty tables inside as well as outside) and seemed to pull out of thin air a 20-25 minute wait, and without asking if we'd like to wait proceeded to acknowledge the exceptionally rude individuals who thought it natural to cut ahead of us. poor staff, poor customer service. a shame too, i was excited to try this place.

food is hit or miss here but the beer is great. love the local brews. go for beer and appetizer

for our visit to the brewpub for the foothills brewing company, we thought our food was good and hit the spot for a nice lunch. the beer, i felt, was very good and i ended up having a couple more foothills beers during our trip to north carolina. and scarlette's service was impeccable. she was friendly, helpful with suggestions, and on top of things for us. we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the foothills brewing company, one of the better brewpubs that we encountered on our trip to north carolina.

food is great, service can be hit or miss but the beer, drinks and atmosphere are always excellent. the bartender choice drinks are always amazing.

not happy. i got a growler because i was in town and like to try local beer. there was $5 deposit on the bottle, which wasn't a problem until i tried to return it. they wouldn't take it back (4 days later) without a receipt! are you kidding me??? it is obviously your growler, it has your logo on it! i was told most people refill them. so? if you charge a deposit, take it back.

i have been here twice and i am not horribly impressed. i think they go for attempting to have creative dishes but the flavors don't always agree. the servers are minimal and i think they would benefit from having one or two more. the beer selection is much more robust in the fall but year round they have interesting names and flavors. it is downtown so parking isn't always easy but there is a parking garage across the street. so the food is fair, ambiance can depend on the day and weather and the service can stand some improvement. the highlight for me was the steak with arugula and raspberry dressing. i would say give it a try.

the beer i tried here was excellent and food was just ok. the location in downtown is great and the place has a nice relaxing atmosphere. i would definitely return to sample some more beers.

came in on a monday night. worst service i have ever received in any restaurant. took 27 min to receive a beer and 1 hr 20 min to receive food. food was expensive but low quality and not cooked properly. complained to manager and was told "it's not a perfect world."

experienced the worst service of my life here. my boyfriend and i went in to enjoy a few beers and the bartender was only concerned with talking to other people and consistently walked past us. if you see a guy with a beard, glasses and long hair - turn around and leave the bar. i will add that my boyfriend loves foothills - this just ruined the experience for me.

after sampling their wares at a local event a little while back, foothills became a must-see for our next visit to winston. the in-person experience did not disappoint. the spacious pub is adorned with brick and wood for a classic look, and there are different areas (dining room, bar, and patio) to accommodate different seating preferences. the real draw here is the selection. from the dozen-plus locally brewed beers to the unexpectedly versatile (vegetarian? at a brewpub?) menu, there is quite a bit to like beyond the anticipated wings and burgers.

rather overpriced. lunch here recently was a follow up to our exposure to some of their food offerings that we sampled at another venue. this place is a bright, upscale pub with plenty of beer choices, a rather adventuresome menu with frequent changes and additions - much of the food is solid, but there is the occasional bump along the culinary highway.

we started with what we thought was an order for hot chips, but ended up with fried pickle chips ($5.99), and rather than wait for a re-order, we took the pickles. the portion size was nice, but these are not the best fried pickles around - too small, too thin, and you have too much batter.

the buffalo burger ($12.99 with a side,) was pretty good, and the ffs were nice. but at $3 more than their regular cheeseburger, which is rather pricey itself, this burger is just plain too expensive. the cheeseburger ($9.99 with a side) was just ok, rather bready, and overcooked. the pimento cheese on the burger was very good.the 1/2 lb pub melt ($11.99) could have been good, but the burger was undercooked, mostly pink inside. the mac & cheese side was very good.

all in all, nothing really above average here in the food area, and the prices are up there, maybe as high as any similar restaurant in the triad. not sure there would be an occasion to warrant coming back here. the beer might be another matter, but didn't try any.

meh. food is fine, beer is meh, service has never been great.

i had paul’s spicy ostrich burger ($12.99) with fries. the meat was juicy and flavorful prepared medium with some pink. i was trying to figure out if they used some type of dry spice seasoning beyond the usual salt & pepper. the

service is bad. food order is usually messed up. either burnt burgers or over cooked calimari. the only thing they have going for them is the pumpkin beer.
