Waitress was awesome; other than that the appetizers were not made fresh and were really bad for frozen foods. I didn't try the beer but, we had the fried mushrooms (yuk), the calamari (yuk) and the soft pretzel, all nasty especially the so called beer...cheese. C'mon now, get a cook that knows how to make fresh food. Disappointed. Expensive garbage. 2 stars only for the waitress.More

I'm sorry you did not enjoy your visit DW. If you choose to visit again maybe you could order some of the items we do make fresh in house. You did not enjoy the beer cheese that we do make in house with real.. Netherlands...More

Great service, food, beer and apps. Don’t let the appearance fool you. We started to leave because at first, it felt like a brewery with bar food. Not the case at all. Being in the pizza biz, I am a hard critic of pizza. The...dough, sauce and ingredients come together perfectly. Def recommend date night, lunch or dinner spot if you craving a good pizza & beer! Many brews to choose from. We ordered a Greek salad and it had over 10 ingredients which you don’t find very often. Dressing was also wonderful!More

We are on vacation in Murphy NC and went in Valley River Brewery on a Sunday afternoon noon. We ordered a 14” pizza and craft beer. Pizza was Amazing!! Perfect crust, lots of cheese and a great waitress to help us navigate the area. She...told us they have a pizza special on Thursday, 5 toppings for the same price as the plain cheese. We took a scenic drive around the area on Thursday with the express intention of arriving back to o Murphy for Pizza. We had our dog with us so had to order pizza to go. They only allow service dogs. We were about 12 minutes from our rental cabin. Pizza was still perfect when we arrived. We are food snobs ( I’m a pretty good cook). Valley River Brewery gets at the very least Five Stars!More

Went in expecting more than I got. Food was ok at best, my daughters quesadilla was soaked in grease and my fries were limp and stale tasting. The beer I ordered had a clear chemical taste, like they didn't flush their beer lines properly. Service...was somewhat rushed and rude. You could tell the poor servers are overworked and don't care if anyone enjoys anything. I know this place gets great reviews, but not sure if we'd try again.More

Awesome food and great service. I had the burger with fries ($2 extra) and a side of Tzatziki. Burger was thick, juicy, well-seasoned, and well cooked. Tzatziki was worth the $1 to go with the fries. My wife had a 10" pepperoni pizza. Lots of...pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. Pizza sauce is thick, rich and hearty.More

We stopped in for a late lunch after whitewater rafting. The service, food and beer all were outstanding. We had onion rings, a pizza and a quesadilla and they were all very good. They have a lot of different draft beers and I would recommend...that you get a flight of 4 to try some of them. Overall a great experience and we will stop in again when in the area!!!!More

Wanted to try some local craft beer and of course pizza makes a nice pairing. We did a white base with mozzarella spinach and their homemade meatballs. Crazy good! Enjoyed their Green Dragon ESB.

Our first time to VRB and the lunch was fantastic. My godfather ordered the cheeseburger, which he claimed was as good as it gets. My partner went for the quesadilla, which in her words "was the perfect size, right amount of cheese and had a...great sauce." I took Ashley's (great server!) recco to have the minestrone soup. Overall a terrific first time and we shall return.More

Pizza had too much cheese; so much in fact that bottom was burned and cheese was not even hot. Selections of beers on tap was good and our server was fun. Odd were suggested tips on the bill - 25, 30 and 40%. Since when...25% tip has been minimum tip? We did tip 25% only because our waitress was very good. Otherwise I would have tipped 15%.More

We are a local group that try out different restaurants every week. Been to at least 30 restaurants in the surrounding area over the past few months. Our meals were good, the owner was accommodating and we all had fun in spite of the service....The waitress wins the prize 🏆 for the rudest and worst ever. If not for her, you would have gotten at least 4 stars from our group.More
