Weeping Radish Farm Brewery

We passed this place on our 1^st trip down to OBX and I have to say, it’s the perfect place to wait out some of the traffic.
Their space is large, and very homey. They apparently also butcher their own meat, which is very cool. The staff was super nice and indulged our questions about their facility and the beers themselves.
My husband greatly enjoyed their Kolsch, naturally named the OBX beer. We also took some of that home in tallboy cans. Standouts for me were their IPA 25, Corolla Gold (Helles Lager), and their Bitter Bee (IPA). That one I was very excited to see that they bottled.
I’m excited to come back on our next trip and actually eat, the menu looked great.

Depending on the time of the day you go. We stopped by after 1:30pm on a Monday afternoon, so the place wasn’t as busy as most Unilocal people who review the place. 4 of 5 in my party had the pull pork said it was good except my wife who said it was a par under but okay. I had the mushroom swiss burger and it was great. It’s not a major must see road attraction but worth stopping by if you had the chance.

SOOO GOOD! We enjoyed the «real» food, expertly prepared. Love the fresh preparation of everything we tried. This will be a regular stop on the way to OBX.

Not my thing. Although my boyfriend enjoyed the sausage sampler, I found the sauerkraut to be mushy. My burger was overcooked and tasted like what I imagine sawdust to taste like. The second try on the burger was raw with a crispy outer shell! YUCK! I don’t have to come back and will no longer wonder about this place as I speed by!

Admittedly we were intrigued by the place, even more so when we saw it had been on DDD. We watched clips from the episode and my friend decided the Reuben was the way to go. I decided to go with the Farmhouse burger. Also had fried tomatoes and catfish as appetizers for the three of us. The burger was juicy and loosely packed with an egg and bacon on a pretzel roll, which admittedly I had skepticism about, but thoroughly enjoyed. I enjoyed both the apps, but without the accompanying sauces (personal preference, but I felt they distracted from the app flavors). It was a quaint setting, and many around us were getting beer flights, which were a great deal if you like all varieties of beer. I would go again.

We have been wanting to stop on our way to OBX for years and finally did. Underwhelmed. Just kinda boring. The beer all lacked flavor, same with the sausage. I wanted to enjoy the beer but it was just missing something. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great either.

This is a perfect stop on your way to your Outer Banks beach house. We travel from PA and like to stop at the Weeping Radish for beer and soft pretzels if we need to kill time until 4 pm checking. They have a nice assortment of beers and casual German pub food and sandwiches. The sausage sampler is a great lunch selection. My husband and I learned that we can easily share a sampler and just order an extra soft pretzel so we each have one. We usually stop at the counter and pick up some hot dogs (awesome) or sausages and sauerkraut to eat the next day. This is definitely worth a stop!

Good beers, with a large and cheap tasting flight option. The waitress was really great but the hostess was really rude.

The potato soup was amazing. The sausages were fine. The rootbeer float was superb, spicy yet sweet. The atmosphere was German beer hall like. The ruddy red beer had good depth, the blonde lacked flavor.

This place is a must stop on the way down to the OBX for a few items in the cooler:
1^st: Great local german-​style beers. Lots of options for anyone’s taste. The OBX is perfect for beachside consumption.
2^nd: Great meats that support local farmers available to-​go at the counter. Our family especially loves the uncured and canadian bacon packs, so good! Great sausage selection for grilling too.

A variety of freshly made sausages paired with quality microbrew beer! We heard about this place on North Carolina Weekend (a public TV show) and it was everything we expected. Worth a drive if you’re anyway nearby. We made it a part of our itinerary when we decided to come out this way. It beats a chain restaurant ANY day of the week!!!
If you do like the meats or beer, you can take some home yourself.

We stopped here because the GPS was showing that an accident ahead was going to delay us an hour anyway — why not spend that trying a new brewery? I will go ahead and say that I didn’t try any food.
As usual (this brewery being new to me), we ordered a flight. When I said that we were taking it outside, the bartender said that she doesn’t «like them going outside, but ok» with a bit of a passive aggressive tone, which struck me as an odd attitude to greet a customer with. If she had simply said «sorry, but we don’t allow flights outside,» I would have sat at the bar and not had a second thought about it. Anyway, once outside, none of the beers stood out. It was better than sitting in the car for an hour, but I won’t be back.

I’ve always wanted to stop on our way home from Nags Head, but we’ve always missed their business hours. Finally the stars aligned & I was able to check out the Weeping Radish last week!
Definitely a cool set up & don’t miss the goats in the front! We had already had lunch in the Outer Banks, so we just ordered some brews. My fiancé went with their dark one (shame on me for not remembering the name) & went with the flight. I thought I may get 5 beers, but woah was happy to see the jumbo tray of samples placed in front of me. I think it was 7 total for $ 10. We looked over the menu for future stops & it looked good even though we were stuffed.
They have a counter set up where you can purchase their bratz to go, so we went with the sampler for about $ 8. We made them for dinner later that evening & definitely some of the best we’ve ever had.
New tradition for future Outer Banks trips!

This is such a fun place. We went here just this past Sunday over the 4^th of July Weekend and were glad we did.
Walking in you are met with intelligently set lighting to give a cool and comfortable Bier Garden vibe.
Let’s get to the food. Do not come here for a burger, a salad or wings. Come here for tasty wine, beer and cured meats.
The sausage sampler is a great way to taste their sausage making skills. Spend the extra 50 cents on the sinus clearing and palette pleasing Lusty Monk Mustard.
The bier-​wurst is a labor of love, the apple sausage goes perfectly with their curried ketchup and the andouille is wonderful. I got it without the garlic and it was a wise choice as the flavor of the meats came through.
It was served with a soft pretzel that was average but the sauerkraut, some of the best I have ever had.
Stop by the counter and select some meat to go, if you tell the servers what you want they ring it into your tab. The tab turned out to be affordable even with some nice white wine and sausage and mustard to go.
We will be back.

My family and I were excited to visit the Weeping Radish on our way to our vacation spot. Unfortunately the experience we had there was terrible. We were seated right away but had to wait 15 min to meet our waitress. We ordered root beer floats, soup and fried pickles. Not that much right? Well it took FOREVER to get our root beer floats. The ice cream was pretty much melted into the root beer and a bit warm. Although I did get an extra treat in mine, a nice piece of styrofoam! Yummy. It took 30 mins from the time we ordered to get our food, and they weren’t even that busy. They were however very quick on getting our check and taking our money. I think the Weeping Radish should change its name to Lack of Service.

True spirit of the industry. The owner is amazing and is true to the word integrity in his entire operation. He made the «American Dream» exactly what it should be and was intended to be. Kudos to the butchery, kitchen, wait staff, and master Brewers providing many beers of a diverse pallet.

Difficult review since my in-​laws loved this place. I ate vegan here which is probably why I didn’t like it very much. I love German food, which is why I wanted to really like this place The ambience was interesting. I guess they were going for the German country farm look. The space was very open and very tall ceilings since it is essentially metal building for the brewery. I don’t think they really captured the right German vibe but that was passable. I have had the pints of Corolla Gold before and I was itching to have the beer. I wanted to buy the Weizen in the pint bottle but they only had the liters. So I was disappointed by that. I am not necessarily a beer snob or aficionado, but I know what I personally like. I had a sample of the Weizen and it tasted exactly like Hoegaarden or Gordon Birsch’s Weizen. Again, that was fine. My father in law purchased a case of the Corolla Gold, which I believe is just a lager. Tasty though in my book. The young female waitress was a bright spot, since we had 2 out of the 4 kids who were turning their noses up at the salads.
Here is where it gets squishy for us. We ordered some salads and most of us got the Portobello Mushroom sandwich on the pretzel bread. I was really looking forward to eating the pretzel bread since we don’t have bread in our house normally. I will choke down a mushroom since it is the closest thing I will get to a burger in the company of my family. What struck me funny about the Portobello was that it was already sopping wet and with my first bite and got a ton of salt from the pretzel. The two tastes just didn’t seem to match up. With more bites, there was less salt, and the sandwich tasted better. I also cant stand soggy sandwiches. Not sure if this comes with the territory with the sandwich I ordered, but I personally just don’t like it. One disappointment was when they ran out of romaine lettuce and one of the salads they brought out was some mish mash of greens. My wife wasn’t happy about it. Some in our party ordered the potato soup and sauerkraut. I didn’t hear anyone jumping up and down about the soup and I thought the sauerkraut was a little too finely chopped and vinegar-​sweet for my liking. I enjoy sourness and caraway seeds. That is at least how my full blooded Frankfurt born, immigrated in 1954 Grandmother made it.
They advertise the fact that Guy Fieri from the Diners, Drive ins and Dives came there and had the Reuben. I think if I ever came back here again I would try the Reuben with a flight of beers. There are plenty of reviews for that on here. I am personally more interested in trying out the local brewery beers and patronize those. But reading some of the reviews, I am not sure the reuben is anything special here either. In addition, I don’t like fat Guy Fieri’s bloated opinions of places as he stuffs his face with some greasy burger. I have never heard the guy say, «hhmmm, I have had better…» So I take his opinion lightly, but I would give this place one more try. Plus, my father in law gave me a few of the Corolla Gold pints. I may bump up by one star after I crack one of those open.

Picture it. Saturday afternoon. Lunch is calling. On Unilocal,there’s a place nearby my beau’s parent’s house and it has brewery in the name. My heart rate picks up and adrenaline starts pulsing through my veins.
Yes, please!
I can’t really emphasize my disappointment. The farmer’s market that welcomed us at the front door wasn’t open yet, but the good were begging to be bought.
We were seated immediately, and were ready to order beer. Enter problem #1 — according to our server, the taps were frozen. Not something I’ve ever heard before, but I’ll go with it. Ice tea will have to do.
The beer is finally available and we order the Ruddy Radish. Decent brew, but somehow it’s not all that cold. Hm.
The food was decent, but not fantastic. The grilled chicken salad left a lot to be desired, considering the amazing veggies we walked by when we entered. Chicken was despairingly overcooked.
The burgers looked really good, but I don’t eat red meat so I have to give a visual review rather than a taste review. My dining companions ordered the Classic and Farmhouse. Über messy, but I heard they were delicious. Another ordered the bratwurst and said it was good.
I’d like to try more beers, but the whole «farm» and «brewery» part fell short. Maybe I shoulda just ordered a radish!

This place is a hidden gem!
If you live within driving distance of the outer banks this place is well worth the drive. It has nice charm and is a quiet place.
The menu is not the biggest but the food is great. The cheeseburgers are awesome and they are served on pretzel buns. The kids had some all beef hot dogs and they were really good as well as my wife’s crispy chicken Caesar!
Now to the good stuff… The beer! I had a flight that came with 7 four ounce house beers for $ 10. 2 of which were seasonal. All of them were great beers. The weizen and ruby radish were my favorites. We purchased 1 liter bottles to go for $ 6.99 and when the bottles are brought back you get $ 2 off your next one! You can’t beat that! Local craft beer rocks!
The service was fast, attentive, and friendly! The food was fresh, hot, and very tasty! The beer was cold and fresh. Local food and local beer is the way to go! So glad we stopped here… We will definitely be back!

I know why the radish weeps… because it’s stuck in this place.
Came here in mid-​April with a bunch of friends, and maybe the weren’t ready for large parties or they were short staffed but it was just a super unpleasant experience.
We were there almost two hours just trying to get burgers and beers. Tables that came after us had already eaten and paid before we saw our entrees. It was an excruciating wait because we were all kind of hangry.
The beer was okay… I got the flight, but they were out of the two beers I had hoped to try so I had some substitutes. I did like the Black Radish and the Hefeweizen. The food was a mixed bag. Appetizers were okay. We liked the fried pickles and the sweet potato liverwurst. However, we had two orders of fried pickles and got one puny container of the dipping sauce. Not cool.
Those of us who had burgers were disappointed. Full disclosure, the waitress said they had to cook them to 170 degrees when we ordered them and we didn’t listen, so we were served hockey pucks on a plate. I guess that’s a law in North Carolina or something (probably pushed through by lobbyists for the pork industry) but the burger was just very dry and not tasty, although the fried egg on top of mine was good. Fries were of such a low caliber that I didn’t finish them. If you know me, you know they have to be pretty bad for me not to finish them.
The sausages were of good quality and they were tasty, but nothing that would blow your mind and make a trip here required. The garlic sausage was SUPER garlicky. Don’t plan on kissing anyone for a week after eating one!
I will say all the servers were nice, but they didn’t back one another up. Our waitress was MIA for awhile and another came by to clear plates and my friend asked for a beer and the woman replied «Oh, your waitress should be back sometime soon». Which turned out to be 10 minutes. Okay, if you don’t want to increase your tabs, that’s cool.
Listen, this place seems to try hard so I don’t want to bash it, but I would not return nor would I recommend it. This place needs to have a «Bar Rescue» or «Hell’s Kitchen» makeover.
