Beale's - Bedford

Fantastic food. The ribs were great. The highest nachos, with all three meats, were very tasty. The smoked wings were just crispy enough and full of taste. The Brezel with beer cheese was excellent. Mrs. Joey had one of the beer flights and said everyone was great, especially the good relationships. The apple scobbler a la fashion was a big end of the meal. It was so good, I forgot to make a picture before we ate it. The service was friendly, prompt and the order was 100% accurate. Joey V. says look at it!

I often came here when they first opened when the pot master was so good in his craft. I came back and had the Taco mix called the Superior. Solid choice. Ask for the sauce how the brisket and the chicken needed it. The pig was amazing. The bartender was on point and quick and friendly. I enjoy the sense of humour they have in some of the beer creations and political naming. It's a place I always recommend.

We are in the city researching a book about my ancestors, Thomas J. Beale and his treasure, and we couldn’t miss the chance to dine here! The nachos were fantastic! We also enjoyed the brunch stout, which was delightful! You can follow our book tour at FittingInAdventure.com.

During our visit to Smith Mountain Lake, we drove to Bedford in search of a laundromat. While we waited for our towels to dry, we decided to stop by Beales. They have a pet-friendly outdoor area, so we ordered a few beer flights and a pretzel to share. The pretzel was served with beer cheese and mustard, which I particularly enjoyed—especially the mustard, as it had a delightful sweetness to it. My favorite beer was the Peach Tea Blonde Ale, and we ended up taking home a six-pack. Overall, Beales is a lovely place to visit, with plenty of parking nearby. The outdoor picnic tables are equipped with umbrellas, which is nice, though I wished the flies weren’t quite so bothersome.

The pulled pork was fantastic! I really enjoyed the spicy pickles and onions that came as a side. My friend loved her burger, and another friend was thrilled with the half rack of ribs. The ribs practically fell off the bone and looked incredible. The smoked wings were delightfully crispy, and I highly recommend trying the Beales dry rub! My friends enjoyed their beers and suggested that the ribs paired well with the Bronze. They also liked the Peach Tea and Pecan Pie beer. My husband wasn't a huge fan of the toasted coconut, but others might appreciate it. The service started off a bit slow; we had to wait a while to be seated since there was no hostess around, and it took about ten minutes before anyone took our drink order, so we decided to place our food order then. However, the food came out in a reasonable time, and from there, the service improved with timely refills and more beers. Overall, it was a wonderful experience in a great area, and I will definitely be back!
