Y'all this place was like being wrapped in a warm hug...

The Best Restaurant in Booth Bay, Period.

Y’all this place was like being wrapped in a warm hug from the moment you are greeted. Everyone likes their job and wants to create a lovely experience for you. The host who also happened to be the owner was so kind and treated us like family. She ended up chatting with us for most of our meal. The bar tender was also incredible and made sure we never wanted for food or drinks.
Now the drinks! Excellent cider and my husband really enjoyed his pale ale. I don’t even like most ciders but this was incredible and not overly sweet.


The food…HONEYYY as a Texan I am PICKY about BBQ. Well slap me sideways because that BBQ was some of the best I have had in a long time. We ordered the burnt ends to start and they were melt in your mouth, right amount of sauce without being smothered finger licking delicious. Then we ordered the Steak Pizza and the Brisket Sandwich. I have never been so jealous of a Brisket Sandwich. Large, hunky, juicy, smoky pieces of brisket. Lawwrd! My pizza was also incredible with the right hint of garlic and cheese. Also the portions are super generous! No leaving hungry here.
Also what was surprising was the prices. Where everything in Booth Bay is over priced and frankly subpar on portions (think appetizer size for $40). FootBridge Brewery didn’t disappoint. They also shared they reworked their entire menu over the summer. So if you haven’t been go check out the lovely new menu!


Also PET FRIENDLY PATIO.
