I really wanted to like this brewery, but unfortunately the experience fell short. The food was honestly disappointing — it tasted low quality and poorly prepared, which is the opposite of what you hope for when visiting a place that markets itself as a destination spot.
The beer wasn’t much better. It lacked flavor and balance, and none of the options we tried stood out in a good way. Breweries usually pride themselves on their craft, so this was surprising.
Service was fine, but good service can’t make up for food and drinks that just don’t deliver. Overall, it felt like style over substance. I hope they take feedback seriously and improve, because the location has potential — but right now, it’s not somewhere I’d return to.

The Sunday brunch was delicious! Tons of great options to pick from, some of my favorites were the cinnamon rolls, spicy pimiento cheese, pasta salad, biscuits, bacon, butterbeans, and Cesar salad. Highly recommend

Appeared to be really understaffed for a Wednesday after work (6 pm). Waiter did exceptional considering the circumstances. I believe his name was Bennett and did a great job suggesting drinks and food. Definitely a failure on managements part to correctly staff and it affected the experience.

Excellent venue in a very competitive restaurant scene! Great upscale brewery atmosphere and extremely high quality food at a very reasonable price. The fried chicken may be the best I’ve ever had (try the Korean and Garlic Crab sauces), incredible beer and cocktail selection. Service was friendly and prompt making for a very enjoyable dinner!

Might not be a good idea to go to Sunday brunch. Staff were slow and not clear headed. Seemed the kitchen was a better place to hang - even for the bartender. Took 10 -15 minutes for the bartender to come back and take my drink order and the hostess had to get him. Sat at table and my wine came but the waitress forgot my friends Bloody Mary which came about 15 minutes after she ordered it. Then another friend joined us and a wait staff delivered my drink but brought 2 other drinks that didn't belong to us. Lastly, a mimosa was ordered and 10 minutes later a 6 oz mimosa (a ridiculous tiny poor) for $13!! Just not a great vibe and poor service for a higher end atmosphere they are shooting for.

We always enjoy our dinners at Edmond‘s original. The staff goes above and beyond every single time and the food is delicious.

We arrived early so to visit with friends who were getting ready to move to North Carolina. We accomplished our goal while enjoying our drinks & dinner. We each ordered something different from the menu. We each enjoyed our entrees leaving very little to bring home. It was a very enjoyable experience at Edmond's Original.

First time diners, longtime residents. 4 in our party. Beer, cocktail, and wine list is extensive & everything we ordered was great. Salads were excellent. Steaks were all sliced and cold and the filet was tough. The steaks did not feel freshly prepared. Side of mushrooms was very salty. Sides of crispy potatoes and loaded baked potato was good. Desserts which included banana pudding, Keylime pie, and ice cream were all good. Banana pudding is excellent!  Go there for drinks and ambiance. The food is OK.

We went for restaurant week - 3 courses for $45. The gumbo tasted very off and the texture was strange. The ginger salad was nothing special. The lamb biryiani was not at all traditional in flavor. The curry on the catfish was very sweet. The peanut butter pie was good. The banana pudding was bland and the bananas were underripe. Overall the value was not there for either meal and the service was very slow.
A truly exceptional experience. The atmosphere is wonderful. Great lighting, large bar, comfy seats and a bit of disco playing.
The staff were inviting and just attentive enough (if you know what I’m saying). Real engagement. Aware of when to engage and when to let us have our conversation. A seasoned staff (not to imply age but rather intuitive).
As for the food… there is an option to buy a six-pack for the “kitchen staff”. I certainly did. I haven’t had a good shrimp po boy since I lived in NOLA. The fried chicken was amazing. A hidden gem is the pasta salad. I will not reveal. All i can say is that I haven’t had my palate surprised in ages… Wonderful
The vanilla ice cream is amazing as well

Atmosphere and service were great.our waitress was top notch. The chicken on my Caesar was incredibly dry. I even had two other people try it to make sure I wasn’t crazy. My husband’s chicken wing was cold when he bit into it.
