Rin Tin's Barks & Brews Cantina

Cool environment with great service…plus our dogs have a place to hangout too. Win!

We walked in and thought this place had been open forever. Staff was warm and welcoming. GM Debbie, and bartenders Anna and Ginna were great.

The staff is very friendly and attentive, especially our bartender Haley! The space is open, clean, and family friendly. The biggest issue we have is with the food and the prices of the food. We ordered the meatballs with garlic bread and chicken tacos. The meatballs were large but flavorless aside from the marina sauce it came with. It also wasn't tender at all, which makes me believe that they weren't made in house. It was less than one pound of beef and two small pieces of bread for $15. The chicken tacos were a bigger disappointment though. We were served two large chicken tacos with only lettuce and tomatoes, no cheese at all. The tacos weren't even warm and the chicken tasted like it came from a can. That is ridiculous seeing as they have chicken breast on their menu, so they could have utilized what they have in house and shredded it rather than using flavorless, cold canned chicken (at least add taco seasoning at bare minimum). Also, what struck us as odd is the split plate charge. If you share an entree or sandwich with someone else, they will slap a $4 charge on you. When we got our check, it also seemed like they charged us $2 for rocks because we got our scotch on the rocks. I've never been to a bar that charges us for ice, and seeing that charge on top of the split plate charge on the menu makes me believe that the owners are cheap. This bar seems very promising, and I understand I came in on their grand opening, but there needs to be changes to the food menu if they want to continue charging what they do. The quality of your dishes could be much better if you invest more in your food, but overall this cantina would be a great spot to drop in while exploring Blue Ridge! It's a very clean place to eat and drink, and the staff are great!!

Super nice place that you can bring your dogs to play while you eat, drink, and shop. Food was great and prices reasonable.
