5 Best Craft Breweries near Roanoke

“This food and brewery hall is really kewl. I actually live about 17 miles away but we come here to eat at the various food counters, and the patio is great (when it's not 112° outside). Tons of seating inside, most of the food counters even bring your food to you. We've tried all the food counters except the newest one. The vendors all offer very different stuff. Wing Daddy & The Codfather are at one counter. The guy does fried chicken sandwiches, wings, burgers, fish and chips, fried fish sandwich, so many options, and his fish is never frozen or pre-battered. His is the only fried cod I buy anymore. No where else compares. He buys his fish fresh everyday and he's always offering some new item. Yeschef should really have his own sit down place because his food is so polished, but I'm glad he's here because I can order from him and The Codfather at the same time. lol Chef makes Louisiana food that seriously transports me to New Orleans. His gumbo is the best I've ever had, and his shrimp and grits are insane, truly out of this world. He also has things like truffle fries or truffle mac'n'cheese, po boys, his menu is epic. Azores Craft Sausages & Charcuterie is really special. The first time we went there he was on a soft opening and had no pizza, so we did his hummus appetizer and it was sooo good. He understands how to put flavor into simple dishes like hummus. Hummus is easy to make but hard to get right, and he does it justice. The real star here is his sausage. It's soooo good, and the Calabrese Sausage Pizza is really next level. His pizza sauce is authentically Italian: tomato, olive oil, salt. That's legit, and why he's my new favorite pizza guy. Roki's food counter always smells so good, I love Pho. Sadly, I've never tried her food, I always go straight to The Codfather first, but I love her drinks. I always get either an Italian Cream Soda, Vietnamese Coffee, or Thai Coffee. She's also really nice, love talking to her while she works. Wild Chef, newest food counter. He was closed for a catering event when we went there a couple days ago. He was prepping for his event so we got to chat with him, he mostly does take away meals, like meal prep. He also offers things like turkey salad (instead of chicken salad), flatheads, it all sounded really good. Looking forward to giving him a try next trip! Soulfire Brewing Co. is a really great spot, full bar. It's not a big space, but they have a pretty big covered patio and you can also sit in the food hall. They do karaoke on Fridays and their tap menu is pretty good, lot of local brews. The staff is always really nice.“

“Met the owner, and she instantly made me feel like family. Great selection of drinks, the food has a wide selection that was really good. I went again the next night, and it was an equally pleasant night. Don't miss out on the cupcakes, which are very good and satisfying. Will definitely make the stop here again !“

“Great spot with good food and awesome service.We had the khao soi and coconut gelato. The khao soi wasn't quite what we expected, with the green curry, but it was good. The coconut gelato was awesome! Melts fast, so eat quick!The service was amazing, very knowledgeable and attentive, with some chatting and making sure we were good.“

“Megan and Megan are always killing it. It's Opening day tonight, and they're doing such an amazing job. So friendly and on top of things.Parking: If you can't park in the front, circle around to the back. There's usually room.“

“Colby was our server and he was very attentive, asked all the right questions, made sure we had full drinks, kept checking on to make sure we didn’t need anything and if we did, he got it for us. Definitely impressed with the menu options and will comeback soon.“
