Högwaller Brewing — Attraction in Charlottesville

This place could have been better. Wasn’t a big fan of their beer selection but I’m not a crazy beer drinker. Went on a Friday night so I get that it might be crowded, but didn’t expect to wait in line for 20 min to order beer/food, only to wait another 45 min for our food. My pretzel was outstanding but my kids burgers and my husband’s burger came out lacking. We did see other people’s burgers that looked better but it wasn’t what we got… they were out of water, out of ketchup. Just need to be better staffed with a better ordering model on a weeknight. DJ outside was good and fortunately we were able to find a table. My husband’s burger was kindly replaced and it was better but he still thought it was cooked too dry on a charred bun. I’m veg and just got a pretzel but they did have a veg beyond burger, a grilled cheese and a wedge salad on the menu that was veg friendly. Not sure we would go out of the way to come back, but it was a nice place if service...

Despite the smaller space, we were impressed with how well everything was managed. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection, making it worth the wait. Menu prices are a bit high, but the quality of the food and portion sizes were decent. Parking is limited but sufficient for the size of the business. Overall, a great spot to enjoy some tasty food and a refreshing drink. We’ll definitely be back when we have another...

I’ll preface by saying that this review is for the food only. The drinks and atmosphere seemed great.

The burgers did not land as I hoped. They were too heavy on toppings. The meat was oversalted and not very appetizing. The lettuce was very fresh though!

The bbq pork sandwich was the biggest disappointment. The pork was chewy and tough. The best way to describe the taste would be “gray.” There was no smokiness or fattiness. The coleslaw was fine though. The barbecue sauce was unfortunately a vinegar-esque drizzle (not my style, but that’s fine).
