“ Food was amazing, the BLT, Chicken parm sandwich, and a grilled (pimento) cheese were all excellent. This restaurant has great service, great food, and a great location. The parking is parallel street parking but overall not hard to find. The crinkle fries were AMAZING, would 10/10 come back to this place, great job guys! ”
“ Excellent environment, laided back place with good vibes. The hostess, I think her name is Angie, very nice and helpful with making decisions on dinner. Our waiter, his name was Phillip, excellent service and great conversationalist. Great place! ”
“ 1st time visit and absolutely loved it! We tried the wings, burgers, cocktails, beer, and cider. The wings were especially good and offered with a variety of sauce choices. Added to our list to revisit regularly. ”
“ This was our first time eating here, and the whole experience was amazing! The food was wonderful! We had peel and eat shrimp and a mushroom burger, and they both were phenomenal! The atmosphere was great, and our server Kelsey was fantastic! ”
“ First time going to this place and the food and drinks were so good. I ordered the steak and chicken kabobs with vegetables and my husband ordered the BBQ plate both were full of flavor definitely well worth it. The music could have been a little more upbeat not so soppy but it was a great atmosphere and amazing food. Will definitely be going back :) ”
“ What a pleasant surprise! We relish good bar food with a variety of taps and it's amazing how hard it's becoming to find that. We were traveling an hour or so, and I had decided on traveling secondary roads (hauling a sofa), and I'm so glad we did. This is an awesome spot downtown with easy parking and a very welcoming, comfortable space. We were sat quickly at 530 on a Saturday night. Service was fairly swift and once we had our server - she was on point. She was very kind and attentive but never annoyingly so. I think her name was Shayla but it escapes me. The menu is eclectic but they do it all well. The mushrooms were amazing as was all that followed. IIRC we had mushrooms, wings, hamburger sliders and pulled pork (with okra). The only criticism was that the pulled pork could have been hotter - but we were near the front door and the draft was pretty aggressive. Will definitely be back! ”
“ Beautiful space in the historic state theatre building in Downtown Lenoir. Very comfortable. Great for lunch or dinner with friends/family or business associates. Menu covers everything from great salads to burgers to wings to a livermush sandwich so everyone should be able to find something they love. with 40 craft beer tapes they have the largest selection in the region. Features two bars one for beer the other for wine and cocktails. Great mix of two and four top tables along with a big beautiful feathered cherry slab bar height community table that is perfect for groups or meeting other folks. Wonderful outdoor dining space on the Square in Downtown Lenoir with space for the kids to be able to run around while the adults enjoy a cold beverage and enjoy music from downtown stage across the square. They just moved to this new location a couple of weeks ago and are still trying to get their feet under them so service has been a little slow but nothing that the great staff, beautiful space, delicious food, and great beer selection hasn't made up for. Downtown Lenoir is the place in the area to spend an evening with lots of dining choices, great live music venues, great art spaces, unique shopping, and lots of public art to enjoy. ”
“ Another great Lenior find, wings and beer, and by beer I mean dozens of great beers!! They had all types and even mead, we sat and ate and drank for almost 2 hours and it was great all around. It did get busy closer to 7pm but the crowd made it more fun. Support this local Pour House! ”
