Hawaiian Heat with Sweet potato waffle fries.
Kevin H.

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.

The Sir Porks-a-Lot

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!

Regular cheeseburger
Deborah C.

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!
Alisha M.

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
Nicole M.

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!).

Death by Bacon burger with sweet potato fries ($1.50 upgrade)
Tracy H.

We had a long wait but the wait list was updated live through Yelp--which was cool. We could see our wait time getting shorter. The service was fantastic--from the front of the house, the bartender, the young man who seated us and explained the item from the test kitchen (hot honey burger), our server Jenna...very nice and attentive. Our burgers were so delicious--I especially enjoyed the char on the burger--it really added a great flavor. The sweet potato fries were the best I think I've ever had. My husband enjoyed his IPAs. He was tipsy by the time he left. If we lived closer, we'd be back for sure.

Do u have call ahead seating on December 31st?

Sandi, We do not take reservations but I do recommend going to the Yelp app and join us on our active waiting list. This will tell you how long the wait is and add you to… Read more

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.

Some friends and I gathered for a lakeside luncheon this Thursday afternoon at Liberty On The Lake…read moreat the Irmo location. This was my first time experiencing this venue, and I honestly was pleasantly surprised. From being greeted at the door and shown to our table, ordering our food to even having our waitresses snap a few photo's to document our visit, I was very impressed with the staff's attentiveness and willing to offer suggestions, and see our food was prepared promptly, and to our tastes. We chose to visit during lunch, so I ordered the Philly Cheese steak sandwich which came with fries, and it was very tasty. My friend ordered the fish & chips, which he said was also very delicious, his wife ordered shrimp with hushpuppy's, and I tried one, that cinnamon butter sauce pairs very with with the hush puppy's. The atmosphere for a lunch crowd was very chill, some soft music playing in the background, but not overpowering to limit conversation, the staff was friendly, and the food was tasty, with decent portions, and more importantly - Reasonably Priced. I can't wait to return again soon, and bring some friends along to share a new spot to enjoy some terrific food at Liberty On The Lake.

Liberty on the Lake was the perfect spot to celebrate a special birthday for both mom and daughter…read more The setting alone made the experience memorable -- beautiful waterfront views, a relaxing atmosphere, and a great place to sit back and enjoy a meal while looking out over the water. 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.

The…read morerestaurant is industrial, big windows, exposed brick, grand lighting but still has an intimate feel. Our server introduced herself with menus & drink options in tow. Not sure about the music selection, as we dove right into scanning the menu and enjoying the options. We had the Japanese fried chicken (3.5/6) and the Prosciutto Wrapped Fontina (6/6) would definitely order again as it was delicious. 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). Ordered crème brûlée for dessert and left stuffed.

My husband and I ate here last night 2/28/26. The atmosphere and staff were pleasant and helpful…read more The meal however was repeatedly substandard. 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.
