    Dis Won and fried green tomatoes
    Marty W.

    Interesting little spot for live music, crafted drinks and uniques foods to enjoy. Menu has nice selection of varied entrees to met everyone's desire. My pick was Dis Won with fried green tomatoes. Burger was cooked perfect, nicely sized and tasty but was a little too saucy. Tomatoes were well seasoned, cooked nicely and very good. The star was dessert, carrot cake, was moist and sooo tasty. Service was the only issue as my server just seemed a little slow and not aware of her tables but food was delivered in appropriate time and I was left not wanting for anything.

    Food was good. I didn't eat in but the space is tight. It was full and people were still coming when I left with my to go order. The young ladies at the front were kind. They do not have Apple Pay but you can scan a QR code on your phone and pay.

    Three of us visited this establishment today and all of us were very happy with the quality of the burgers we received as well as the courteous and friendly service provided by Jordan today! She was amazing and went out of her way to answer any of our questions. We had heard mixed reviews about this restaurant and were very happy to experience it for ourselves. We surely will return another time in the future! Thanks Jordan and the entire staff for taking care of us today!

    Stopped in right when we got to town and so glad we did. They had a long wait but they got us in faster than anticipated. We had some apps and got a burger. It was delicious. I think they were understaffed but they were making it work as best as they could.

    Cute spot in Chapin that hit the spot on a Friday night. We had the Fern Gully, Hot Mess and Totes Ma Goats. The burgers were all good but would've been better with a different bun. It tasted a bit stale which was a let down. However the flavors of our burgers made up for it. The fries were fresh and the beer selection was decent. Overall I would say this place is between 3.5 and 4 stars.

    Death by Bacon, onion rings and High Ground salad

    Definitely would recommend this place. Very friendly staff, fast service, fresh ingredients. The Death by Bacon burger was fantastic. Higher ground salad was tasty. The lettuce was fresh and crispy. Onion rings were not greasy! Really good food!

    I love this place ! Beautiful day to sit outside. Great for kids. There were four of us and we all loved our meal. Cheeseburger, hit dog, grilled cheese and cheeseburger with fried green tomatoes. It was delicious. I little drive from the interstate but worth it. Severs were very nice and worked hard to please us . This place is added to my favorites . Will stop again.

    More bacon!

    Such a great vibe of a restaurant. Burgers did NOT disappoint and service was on point!

    Must come here!!

    Best burger ever, my husband said. He had Death by Bacon. The grilled chicken on Dis Won was fantastic. Our server, Melissa, is wonderful. Came her while visiting from out of town, wish we could stay for more!

    Char-Cheese Burger with cheese and wing chips

    From service to ambiance to the food itself, Higher Ground has mastered it all. Absolutely worth the drive from wherever you may be coming from (Savannah, GA for our little family). My boyfriend and I both went with the char-cheese burgers (essentially a classic burger with cheese, tomato, onion, pickle, and lettuce). Both burgers were cooked to our liking and to perfection per our standard. Be aware though, these burgers are BIG! One thing Higher Ground doesn't do is skimp on the portion sizes (prices are super reasonable too!).

    First time at Higher Ground Char House. The service was super on a busy day. My Char Burger and Cheese was outstanding. First time impressions were great. Would like to go back there in future to try other menu items. My waitress was new, but has a great personality and outlook. When I was leaving I ask how long she been there which she replied 3 days and wishing me a happy remaining of my day. I also every employees work together as a team It was a little Cheers, by become a regular everyone will know your name

    Do u have call ahead seating on December 31st?

    Would a 6:45 seating for 2 people be possible Friday night, 12/11?

    Probably. We went on a Friday around 6 and there wasn't a wait. However you can join the wait list ahead of time on Yelp. Just scroll down on their page and you'll see join wait list. It's an awesome feature

    How much outdoor seating?

    I'm thinking 6 tables for four people.

    Is there a long wait here?

    There can be, but it's worth it.

No A/C but they had fans inside and outside. It was a little warm following 4 hours on the golf course so A/C option would've been nice. I ordered the Patriot Burger and Onion rings. The burger was big and juicy and onion rings were great. I had a Hazy IPA and that worked well with the food. The bartender was cool and she let us sample a bunch of beers before choosing what we wanted. I'd go back but it would be nice to have multiple trucks and cooler options...literally.

    What was supposed to be a relaxed family outing on a hot Saturday afternoon quickly turned sour…read moreafter we were made to feel judged and unwelcome -- all because our toddlers were... being toddlers. We visited Lazy Creek Taphouse on Saturday, June 21 from 4-7 PM with a small group of friends and family, including my two-year-old son and his friend. The atmosphere was surprisingly dead for a weekend -- just a few people at the bar inside -- so we stayed indoors due to the 90+ degree heat outside. The kids were simply running around playing, behaving appropriately for toddlers, with the occasional excited squeal you'd expect from two little ones having harmless fun. As we were getting ready to leave, I took the kids outside to play with trucks in the gravel. That's when my friend mentioned overhearing the plus-size female bartender speaking negatively about our children to other patrons -- complaining about the noise and making unwarranted comments. I confronted her about it directly, and rather than offering any kind of apology or professional response, she doubled down with an attitude. What's most disappointing is that Lazy Creek promotes itself as a *kid-friendly* establishment. If that's truly the case, the staff should treat children and their families with basic respect -- especially when the children are simply being playful and not disruptive. There's a big difference between genuine chaos and two toddlers running around having fun. If this place really wants to be "kid-friendly," the staff should either be trained to better handle the presence of children or stop advertising that it's a welcoming space for families. You're entitled to a kid-free evening -- but not a kid-free world. It's honestly a shame -- and hurtful -- to feel so unwelcome in a space that claims to support families. Now, we're left feeling judged and uncomfortable about ever coming back.

It felt like a great place for a celebration without being overly formal. We started with a few appetizers that were great for sharing. The hushpuppies came out hot and crispy and paired really well with the dipping sauces. The coconut shrimp was another highlight -- perfectly fried with a nice crunchy coating and a sweet dipping sauce that added a lot of flavor. For the main meal, the fish and fries were classic comfort food done well. The fish was golden and flaky with a light batter that wasn't too heavy, and the fries were crispy and seasoned just right. Everything came out fresh and hot, which made the meal even better. The coleslaw on the side was creamy and balanced the fried seafood nicely. Drinks were also a fun part of the celebration. The cocktail was refreshing and light, perfect for sipping while enjoying the lake view. Sitting by the water with a drink in hand really added to the birthday vibe and made the whole experience feel a little more special. Overall, Liberty on the Lake was a great choice for a birthday outing. Good food, generous portions, beautiful lake views, and a relaxed environment that made it easy to celebrate and enjoy time together. Definitely a nice spot for a casual celebration or a meal with family by the water.

We selected the butchers board (6/6) with asparagus & bacon mac and cheese for our sides - medium rare of course. The spread was delicious. We had a mule and a blueberry spritz to accompany the meal. As the sun set, the locations lights seemed to dim as well, ramping up the intimate feel. Server checked in multiple times (her name is Victoria Batte).

We started with the deviled eggs which seemed like they didn't even try to add flavor. Only one person in the group ordered steak which was not cooked to the order, and was completely unevenly prepared. Two people in the group ordered the burger which were ordered as medium and came overly well done. The prices are the only high end items on the menu. I have no problem paying for a decent meal, however the Chophouse of Chapin needs to address the food quality. I would advise to go elsewhere for your dinner plans.
