Restaurant
The Square Root is a renowned restaurant in Brevard, NC, housed in a beautifully restored building with rustic details like exposed brick and colorful paintings. The establishment boasts an art deco bar and has been consistently voted as the best lunch and dinner spot for over a decade.
Found this after striking out at another place for a Friday night dinner without reservations. Seated immediately and began a good fest! The pretzel charcuterie board was amazing and huge. Paired nicely with a French onion soup and the trout entree. Very comforting inside vibe. Tables outside were a bit too warm on this July night.

My husband and I had a rare day off together and decided to check out Brevard. We stopped in for lunch and even though it was pretty busy, we were sat right away. The food was excellent. Very fresh with generous portions. We had the fried green tomato BLT and the London broil sandwich. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. We would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back again.

Excellent meal, everything was tasty and presented well. Connor did a great job taking care of our table. We got there at 5:30 on a Friday and got one of the last outdoor tables before the wait started. Popular place, will be back.

I loved this place, a fun restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside, the staff were amazing and so informative. I loved that they had a little from different cuisines. We had the chicken curry, Brinjal pakoras, Fried green tomatoes and the Cedar salmon and for drinks we had the Basil blast. Everything was so delicious. The taste of the Indian food was so good, given it was majorly an American restaurant. We loved that our pet was accommodated.

Had a wonderful luncheon with the wife at The Square Root in downtown Brevard. My wife had the crawfish stuffed trout with lobster morney sauce which she enjoyed thoroughly. I had the duck l'orang special which was also amazing. Both came with house salads. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our food came out in a timely manner. The place was packed so we were fortunate to get a table without waiting. The noise level made conversation a little difficult. Weather permitting I would choose the outside patio over inside dining. Overall a great experience... 5 Stars!

Quaint restaurant. A Brevard staple. Many restaurants here change over quickly and don’t survive the off season, but this one does. The food is 90% great. The Cobb salad is delicious. Yummy soup and entree specials change regularly. My husband got the peach pork dish and it was 100% raw in the middle, but other than that- great. The pretzel charcuterie is fantastic. Admiral cocktail was pretty good - a little pricey for lack of kick to it. Also beware of pricing. They don’t mark everything and dishes that sound simple are randomly $50+. Wine too!

We went for group event, and everything was wonderful. The food was superb. The Brussels sprout were so good we almost ate them all before we got photos. Honestly, that's how all of the food was--delicious!!!! We had Brussels, pork dumplings, fried green tomatoes, pretzel board, hanger steak, and the pork flat iron. All were delicious! Plus, the staff was friendly. Highly recommend.

Such a cute place with some local history. We enjoyed dinner tonight and dessert. The drinks were amazing! Brenton was our server and was very attentive and knowledgeable. Ask for him when you come in but I heard the other servers and they were very hospitable too! We tried the fall seasoned beets for appetizer and dessert was the peanut butter pie. Their decorator made the pretty flowers! They made our night perfect under the sting lights at the patio! Bravo!

The Mocha swirl cinnamon roll was pretty good but the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie tasted nothing like peanut butter and was fairly bland for even just a regular chocolate chip. I'd get the cinnamon roll again if I was in the area.
Matt A — Google review
We were walking around downtown Brevard and stopped by this small town bakery. We got a peach danish, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and treats for our pup. We enjoyed the peach danish, but the cookie left for more to be desired, just not something I would get again. Our dog loved his treats - but know they are definitely on the very hard and crunchy side if your dog is particular about their treats. I recommend if you are in the area by stopping by this cute bakery.

These guys are so awesome. Their baked goods are amazing. The people that work there are so kind and polite. And it’s a nice place to hang out with loved ones. I get my sandwich bread here regularly, and to be honest, a sweet treat pretty much every week.

I visited today for the first time from out of town.I wish this bakery was closer to where we live. The best oatmeal cookie I have since my grandmother died years ago. Went around 3pm and there were only a few items left. Tomorrow I am so looking forward to the raspberry scones with my coffee!

Very friendly staff who are happy to chat about the selection and the area. Had a few different pastries and all were fantastic. I wish they had the danish style pastry without the filling - the slightly sweet, crisp but soft dough was perfect even on its own! Will definitely stop in next time I'm in Brevard.

OMG! The variety of baked goods and breads are amazing, but you gotta be there early before they sell out. Coffee is from a local roaster and compliments the sweet goods any time of day. They have a few cafe tables inside for seating and a early rise, friendly staff ready to serve you. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait in line, even at 7am.

They offer an array of specialty coffees made with ethically sourced and roasted beans from local roasteries like Methodical Coffee and Cooperative Coffee Roasters. The cozy ambiance makes it a popular spot where you're likely to run into familiar faces.
Love this adorable place! Coffee is fantastic and the people are so friendly. The ginger molasses cookies are seriously the best cookie I’ve ever had. We had waffle (light and fluffy), a cheese and egg biscuit (huge!) And a piece of quiche. All delicious. Highly recommend. Everything homemade and delicious.

Such a lovely, warm place! I got to meet the owner, and enjoyed learning about the business and the care they put into their food! I had a delicious warm biscuit with made-from-scratch blueberry jam and a lavender peppercorn latte! I will definitely be back next time I am in the area!

A great little coffee shop located in downtown Brevard. The coffee was good. The biscuit breakfast sandwiches were excellent. I had a bacon egg and cheese. My wife had a goat cheese, spinach and egg. You order at the counter. Pick up your drinks when they call your name. They bring your food to your table when ready. The staff was friendly and our food came out in a timely manner. 5 Stars!

Sweet little shop with plenty of interior seating and limited patio options. Great Sandwiches and coffee options. Their cold brew was delicious and good options for fresh beans ground for take home coffee. Atmosphere was welcoming and staff were very friendly. Wish there were more options for outlets for working professionals but can’t have it all. Cheers!!

Cup & Saucer is an excellent coffee shop in downtown brevard. The baristas were all very friendly and the coffee is fantastic. We had both a latte and cappuccino and enjoyed them both. Their breakfast option besides pastries was a biscuit with various toppings. The biscuit itself is already pricey, but you then have to pay per topping you add to the biscuit ($1 for egg, $1.50 for cheese, another $2 for bacon) it gets to be very expensive for a simple breakfast sandwich. The best part of the meal was the bacon so I would suggest that. If you’re looking for great coffee then this is the place! For breakfast options I’d look elsewhere.
Charles V — Google review
Such a great spot, delicious coffee. The biscuit sandwich with goat cheese & greens was super weird - amazing biscuit with tasty goat cheese but the greens was a big clump of what seemed to be microwaved frozen spinach, which was inedible. The goat cheese was good but also was a huge glop. Need to use fresh greens and spread the goat cheese and this would be 5 stars.

From the Greenhouse Skillet featuring potato hash, herbed goat cheese, and gruyere to the Quinoa Bowl with miso broth, there are plenty of options to satisfy different tastes. For those looking for a lighter option, they offer Build Your Own Omelet or Egg Sandwich.
We had a really nice experience here - the environment is really open, calm and comfortable. The food was really good and moderately priced! This is definitely one of the best breakfast places in Brevard, if not the best. Our server (Aaron?) Was really cool and helpful as well. They have a lot of outdoor seating, clean restrooms, nice booths.. it was a really good experience and I recommend it to anyone in the area! The parking can be a little tricky, but there's lot of free parking in the street if you look hard enough.

Traveling with a group of 9 from NY, we happened upon Morning Social on the way to our Yellow Cottage rental. The staff are wonderful and the food is Delicious! Locally sourced fresh!

Had a nice breakfast with the wife at Morning Social located on the outskirts of Brevard. My wife had the Greenhouse Skillet which she enjoyed. I had the pancakes with blueberries which were average at best. The coffee here is excellent! The atmosphere here is spacious with lots of room between patrons, so conversation is easy unlike many other restaurants these days. Our server "Croft" was friendly and attentive. Our food arrived in a timely manner. 4 Stars!

Do not go here if you are hungry… otherwise great food and service and atmosphere! Got the farmhouse skillet. Avocado was more of a garnish and not an actual part of the dish. Prices were pretty low but I guess make sense once you see the size of what you are getting.

Located in an old warehouse district that is being rejuvenated into cool spots. The Social is located on the back right hand corner of the building. That is where you’ll see their rusty sign. We both got omelets with pimento cheese and spinach. It was really good.

Fortunately the GM was behind the bar and made this experience wonderful. I'm very into the energy and vibe and his was so good as well as his service. Unfortunately the other person behind the bar as well as the hostess had almost the opposite energy. The food was good but not great. Tiny biscuit with the egg plate and the homemade jam was not very tasty. The topper was they wouldn't make my hash brown cake crispy. According, to the other person behind the bar, "because they're made in batches". The space is nice and I would probably give it another try but again, if it wasn't for the GM behind the bar it would have just been very mediocre, 3 star at most. Prices are on the high end but not ridiculous

The Oskar Blues Brewery Taproom in Brevard is a must-visit destination for beer enthusiasts.

Visitors can enjoy casual dining options and explore the retail shop while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere. The brewery also provides free tours, indoor and outdoor taprooms, live music, games, and food trucks for a complete experience.
This place is awesome! I’ve been here a couple of times as we have family in Brevard. This is the first time we’ve eaten here, though. Have to say, the ambience slaps. Live bands, sunset, full tables, kids and pups on a warm spring night. Can’t beat it. We had the burgers (you can tell they’re 100% beef), fries and dog bites. All of it was good, quality food albeit of the simple, bar variety. Still with the music and drinks we had quite a nice time. Best hard cider I’ve ever had btw, definitely a win.
Britni L — Google review
On a drive to Brevard I was excited to see Oskar Blues had a brewery taproom close by! It’s off the beaten path for sure so I was expecting a little bit bigger space. Don’t get me wrong, it’s big. But I was expecting massive considering how far out it is. There were so many beers available beyond the normal OB offerings and I had two beers that were very good. The normal OB beers are just fine, but the new two were much better than that. There were some games but was hoping for more. My expectation for a big name brewery out in the country means lots of space and lots of games and lots of beers. They did a solid job to meet expectations but not quite a 5. Excited to go back out again in the future

Oskar Blues was the place we chose to hold our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. OMG!! The venue, and service, were off the hook! Meara, the taproom manager, helped us get everything set up. Scheduling, catering, special needs, etc. Not only that, she was pulling the tap handles. Talk about "hands on". The food buffet that was prepared by Christian was incredible. Literally the best Salmon I've had in my life... And I cook. None of our guests had ever had "corn ribs" before and they were a treat. We looked at other venues that were 20x $$$ what we paid and could not come close to the service. I swear, the next time I'm in Brevard, I'm renting the taproom out again and inviting my friends. It was such an experience. Patrick

Despite the pandemic limitations, visitors have raved about the friendly staff and delectable food, such as deviled eggs and Pig Wings.
This was such an excellent find! Our waitress was the perfect balance of friendly and professional while having an immediate response to our “What’s good here?”. The food was delicious. I ordered the fried catfish with mac and cheese, cole slaw, and fried green beans. Healthy potion of everything, yet also an attention to quality of ingredients. The mac and cheese was particularly excellent, as was the cat fish. Vast selection of local and regional beers served ice cold. Next time I’m down from Asheville, I will certainly be back!

I was recommended to try Magpie Meat & 3 by a co-worker from Central Florida. He said it was a must if you're in Brevard. Today was my first time trying it and I have to say he was right. Although I wasn't able to get the full experience because of the pandemic, the food here was really great. We started with the deviled eggs and Pig Wings. The eggs were nothing special but they definitely were good with the added hot sauce cup included. The pig wings were the star here. BBQ deep fried rib cuts had cripsy skin and baked on BBQ sauce.. wow. Just try them. I got the half rack of ribs on recommendation from the hostess and they definitely were right. They were fall off the bone and moist too. The ketchup style BBQ was very tangy and so good. You will be hard pressed to find better sides too. Macaroni was creamy and flavorful, the okra was steaming hot and crispy. A nice dark beer from their good selection really rounded out the experience. I will be going back soon.

I was happy with my decision to go with a "vegetable" plate, though I would have been more than satisfied with just the mac and cheese and collard greens. The boiled peanuts were an experience (high marks from someone else who loves them), and the cranberry sour was pretty tasty. It's a bit out of the way if you're shopping on Main Street, but WELL worth it. Just be aware that the portions are extremely generous!

This mac n cheese is probably in my top 3 of the best I've had in my life. However, we had a complicated experience when we went to try what all the hub bub was about. They had ran out of all BBQ, and they made us pack our own food even though it said that we wanted it to go? So many questions. Don't get me wrong, we will be back, as we loved what we had and want to try more when the time is right.

Menu is broken down by types (beer and wine) so you can easily find your preference. Prices were very reasonable. We enjoyed a bottle of wine from Italy! The the owner, Gary, is extremely knowledgeable and friendly as was Mary. They have specials on Monday and Wednesday's as well. We enjoyed it so much, we plan on going thee weekly. If you haven't been -- I recommend you do! You won't be disappointed. (Oh, they also have cheese boards, meat boards, panini's, soup and desserts.

Ice cream shop
Rocky's Grill & Soda Shop is a nostalgic American eatery located at 36 E Main St, Brevard, NC. It offers classic lunch counter fare such as sandwiches and milkshakes. The menu includes iconic bites like grilled cheese, BLT, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made with bakery bread from nearby Bracken Mountain Bakery. The old-fashioned soda shop ambiance takes diners back to simpler times while the crowd-pleasing food ensures an enjoyable dining experience for all.
Rocky's is one of those charming, nostalgic spots that instantly brings back warm memories of days gone by. This authentic soda shop from the 1940s is the perfect place for a tasty breakfast. The French toast, drizzled with peanut butter, topped with crumbled bacon, and finished off with maple syrup, is both indulgent and absolutely delicious. Enjoy a cup of Pisgah Roasters coffee to go with it – they’re always happy to top you off with a refill! The simple lunch fare of sandwiches and hot dogs perfectly matches the nostalgic vibe, and the chocolate ice cream soda instantly took me back to my childhood. I also picked up a bag of beans next door in their adjoining gift shop to send home with my friend visiting from Toronto. The owners couldn't be nicer and more attentive.

What a time! My wife and I wanted to check this place out a year or so ago and seen it was closing for good, but lo and behold here it is! Turns out it was bought and the new owners relaunched it and is keeping it going! We were stoked to get here and check it all out. This is like an old 50-60’s diner and the food was killer!! My wife had the Carolina burger, and a butter pecan turtle milkshake to which after they filled her glass they brought the steel cup they make it in so she can have the rest that was left over! It was GOOD! I had the pimento cheese angus burger and a….wait for it.. CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM! Just like I remember being a kid!! It was SO tasty! We will be coming back and bringing my mom and her parents for sure!

My friend and I stopped to enjoy a malt and read while friends got a pedicure. The sweet treat was nice on a very hot day. Half the place was closed for a private event so it was chaotic. But it was nice. Cute little place. They have ice cream spots so you don’t take up counter space or tables, which was nice.

We stopped in as a family on a Monday afternoon while passing through the town, enjoying the sights and nostalgic feel. We slipped into the diner and had a bite to eat. I had the Ruben-style Grilled Rachel sandwich with gluten free bread and a side of chips. We all enjoyed our meals from burgers to tuna to soup to dogs. We finished off the dinner with shakes, enjoying a banana and peanut butter shake that is fit for the king.

We wanted a decent, affordable place to eat and apparently everyone else did too! The place was pretty busy. We had to wait for about 20 minutes, but that was fine because we got to check out some of the unique little shops. Our waiter was super friendly and was very knowledgeable about the menu. I got the tuna sandwich, which was pretty good with the brisket chili. Which was also good, but a little spicy! I also got a vanilla biscoff butterscotch milkshake. Yummm. They also have a cute little souvenir/gift shop next door which was super affordable as well and I got some cute stickers. 10/10. Highly recommended!

Came here with a group, was told we would need to wait 30 minutes to get a table, and that we would likely not be sitting together. I understand it was busy, but it seemed strange at a burger place. Stayed for 15 minutes and ended up going somewhere else to eat. Not reviewing food here as I did not eat, just reviewing overall experience. Place seemed popular and was packed, though. So could be worthwhile if time is not an issue.

Not a ton of vegetarian options, but the soup of the day (Pumpkin and Butternut squash bisque) was very good. They also have tomato soup, grilled cheese sandwiches and a bean-burger. If you eat fish, the tuna fish salad sandwich was very good on toasted rye. Coleslaw was okay.

Cool little old fashioned diner and soda shop. The milkshakes were so good! Definitely a must stop when visiting Brevard!

American restaurant
Jordan Street Cafe, located at 36 E Main St, Brevard, NC, offers a laid-back dining experience with American cuisine. The restaurant features seasonal patio seating and serves a variety of dishes including steak, seafood, pasta, and burgers. Their menu includes appetizers like Buffalo Chicken Dip and Fried Pickle Spears as well as main courses such as Chicken Parmesan and Mahi Mahi Sandwich. Guests can also enjoy a Maple Walnut Salad or Homemade Bread with Pesto to start their meal.
Jordan Street Cafe is a hidden gem offering a great variety of American fare in a low-key, casual dining spot. Upon entering, you’ll stand in line to order at the counter, then grab a seat on either side of the restaurant. The staff will run your food to you and take care of clearing your table. Their burger and fries are a crowd favorite—always delicious, and I consistently get mine a perfectly cooked medium-rare. The Shrimp and Grits is another standout dish, with just the right amount of heat and a generous portion that’s great for sharing. I also recommend the maple pecan salad, which is fresh with mixed greens, and a flavorful dressing, and comes with the option to add chicken or fish. They offer desserts, and a full bar with signature cocktails, making it a well-rounded foodie experience. The focus is definitely on food quality rather than ambiance and decor, and that’s part of what makes this place popular with locals. I’ve brought small groups here, and each time, everyone has found something they enjoy and left with great things to say. Free public parking is available on W. Jordan Street, through the intersection on the left, just past the bank.

Great menu at Jordan Street Cafe! Bacon wrapped Trout on bed grits was delicious and highly recommended. Beer selection was good but wish it was more local craft beer than national brands

After reading reviews I decided to check out Jordan Street Cafe to see if their Jordan burger was indeed one of the best. I'm happy to report it was delicious. It came with crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheddar cheese, and dijonnaise (Dijon mayo). Their fries (which look like "swirls") are a delightful mix of crispy and soft & fluffy. Ask for their parmesan peppercorn dressing which is their version of ranch. Nice little twist to dip them in and a nice switch up from ketchup. The bartender said their sweet potato fries are the best so I'll try them next time. The best way to enjoy your dining experience is to first read the home page of their website. They don't have traditional table service, so you'll place your order at one of the bars, they'll give you an order # which you'll take to the table of your choice along with your drink. I chose to sit outside on the patio as it was a beautiful, cool evening. Someone will bring your food and some rolled silverware when it's ready. Meanwhile if you need more condiments, napkins, to go boxes etc it's all off to the side neatly stacked at the bar. If you want drink refills just go to the bar as well. So next time you're in Brevard, check out this little side street haunt. You'll be glad you did.

I love this restaurant and bar. We are patrons and every time we come in it’s a great experience. We love to talk to Brandon. The place is super cool and has two huge fig trees inside making it so special. The food is amazing I ordered the Hawaiian salmon wrap and my husband ordered the Jordan burger which were both delicious.

Fish &Chips were delicious as was the blackened chicken sandwich. Carrot cake was off the chart ! Great meal!

My husband and I went with friends and we were so happy we chose this restaurant. They must have an amazing chef because the food was wonderful. Although they have kind of self-serve when out of season the service was up and above! The atmosphere was wonderful with the plants and the quaintness of both the bar area and dining room. We had a really nice time because this all made it possible!

What an awesome restaurant! I’m visiting NC with family from south florida and we had a 10/10 dinner. Food quality, quantity, service, and atmosphere exceeded expectation. They are all very nice and attentive. I highly recommend you visit here.

Busy, but excellent customer service and possibly the best pimento cheese burger I’ve had. Excellent dessert list, chose the rhubarb pie, not disappointed.
