We had high hopes for the food here. The wings were really mediocre. Lemon pepper wings lacked flavor. Appeared to be a dry rub but needed more seasoning. Did have some smoked flavor but they were pretty chewy overall. Pickle spears were good but seemed like they could have been prefrozen. Mac and cheese balls were the best thing we ordered. Few people at the table ordered burgers and they said they were good. Fries looked handcut and good. Beer and atmosphere is good, but the food items need some attention. There’s a very large selection of food. May need to scale down and focus on a smaller menu.

Great beer and service. Neat sports oriented brewpub. Many screens and 2 virtual sports bays. Natalie was a wonderful and attentive server. For my taste, the Aliferous stout is one of the best stouts that I have ever tasted. Nice, large enclosed patio dining area.

Nice second location for Firemaker Brewing! I’ve been to the OG spot roughly 10 times, so knew what to expect in terms of beer and food options. The taproom definitely feels more like a sports bar and restaurant than an actual brewery, but that’s not a bad thing. Beer is enjoyable, and the food has improved since they added their own personal kitchen (I accidentally ate a chicken tender before snapping a picture). This location is superior to the Atlanta spot. Lots of natural light, great bar setup, and golf simulators. Based on the TV setup, it’s a great place to watch a game. Brewery is only a 5-minute walk from Piedmont Brewing; making it a good 1-2 punch. I visited during the soft open and while I see where some minor kinks need to be worked out there’s definitely plenty of time to fix these issues.
