    Cup and char pizza!
    Greg M.

    Super cool laid back bar with great Carolina beers and Buffalo oriented menu. Got to taste the various IPAs before settling on Angry Fish, an excellent local brewery. My daughter and I enjoyed a cup and char pepperoni pizza, several games of Uno, and fantastic music. They even have a digital jukebox you can control from an app. Looking forward to coming back on a Friday or Saturday to try their housemade beef on weck. Highly recommend!

    Beef on Weck and a side salad
    Ron V.

    I was here last night for the first time. I seen a post on a food site, talking about keg cowboy having Beef on Weck. I had no idea what that was. I've been wanting to try it. Our lunch group has ventured over to Lexington two times only to find it's not open at lunchtime. They open at 3 PM. I called last week and was told that they serves Beef on Weck only on Fridays. We arrived around 5 o'clock and ordered a velvet yeti beer (a dark IPA )which was excellent. My neighbor and I both ordered the beef on Weck sandwich with extra horseradish. It comes with a side of either a salad, cup of soup or grits. We both opted for the side salad. The sandwich is filled with a lot of beef and came with small containers of raw horseradish, and a creamy horseradish and au jus on the side. We both ordered extra raw horseradish. The Kummelweck bun was really good with just the right amount of salt in Carraway on the top of it. I wish they served the au jus in a larger cup, so you could dip the sandwich on each bite. I would like to go back, but it's tough to get to Lexington on a Friday night. I really wish they served this every day and were open at lunchtime. I will get back for another one sometime in the future. It's definitely worth going there for.

    Duck Confit SOS - so good!!!
    Greg P.

    Great dive bar with beer & wine and incredible food! I got the SOS Duck Confit on fresh homemade bread with a thyme cream sauce. It was off the charts delicious!

    Menu from 11/6/21. Please keep in mind this menu changes CONSTANTLY. This is not a permanent menu for the restaurant.

    Some friends and I stopped in last night and let me just say, we were NOT disappointed one bit! We had Alejandro as our server and he was wonderful, attentive, and really kind. He made sure our checks were correct before bringing them out to us, which was a nice extra measure, honestly! We came into Keg Cowboy ready to EAAAT, we were all starving! We started out with a cheeseboard, pretzel, and bread and EVOO, and we were the happiest campers almost immediately! The bread is fresh fresh fresh, made in house, and baked perfectly. The appetizer presentation was very nice, but it tasted even better. We all ordered a sandwich and some of the tomato soup and we were all very happy with our choices! I got the Caprese Sammy and that fresh mozzarella was a game changer! This sammy was PERFECT for dipping in the tomato soup, which was a side dish, but it deserves its own show! It is available as an entre, as well, and I regretted not ordering the full bowl of soup to go with my Sammy. They have a pretty solid craft beer list that seems to be changed pretty often to keep a good rotation of different beers. Prices for food and drinks were more than fair, I feel like I absolutely got my moneys worth. I will definitely be back to Keg Cowboy in the near future!

    We love going to the Keg Cowboy! This restaurant always has different types of beer (and you can try them before you get something you don't want). The food is prepared fresh on site and we have never been disappointed in the quality, service, or the amount. The atmosphere is laid back. There are board games available if a couple or group wants to play. The Keg Cowboy gives you something I call Value or getting your monies worth for the food and service. Stop in and give these wonderful people your business.

    Duck Confit with a creamy thyme sauce, topped with a fried egg... So delish!

    Love, love, love this place! The food was very good, the service was outstanding and their beer (particularly the amber) really hit the spot! There is a very good, easy going vibe about this brewery that makes them unique and likable. My husband and I came here with our son last month for an early supper and all three of us enjoyed ourselves. We weren't in a hurry, so we figured we would stop in and see what all the fuss was about this place. After we sat ourselves, our server, J.J. was absolutely wonderful! She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the beer and eclectic food menu. They have a variety of board games to play with and it adds to the laid back, family fun, hipster vibe of the place! We all played Jenga while we waited on our food and before you knew it, it was ready! As we left, we just knew we were coming back one day.

    So if you've read my other reviews, you know I travel the South for work. I had the unfortunate pleasure to have to work out of my hotel so I was able to bail a little early and find a place to eat. This one is about 20 minutes from Irmo. I sat at the bar and was able to snag the waitress/bartender (Jenn) as it was early. We had the discussion about beer and she brought a great one. A Maine Beer Co. Zoe. A nice brown ale that went down wonderfully. I have a question that I use to ask about recommendations. "You can never eat here again...what do you order?" Jenn came back almost immediately with the Cherrywood smoked chicken. "It's great and a butt load of food." How could I turn that down? The chicken was the best smoked chicken I've ever had. As a WW member, I eat a LOT of chicken. The smokey flavor and tender bites were beyond joy. I peel the skin off as that's where the points are and I picked up the rest with my fingers to gnaw down to the bone. It comes with fried kale, which caused a raised eye brow. I tasted and proceeded to scarf like a starving man. It's pan fried with some garlic and olive oil and I ate it all in a heart beat. The potato salad is what the Chef calls original southern potato salad. Just get it. I tried a tasting of the Columbia Craft Lager and the Great Divide Vanilla Oak Yeti and went back to the Maine Co. The chef (Brian) came out and I got to pick his brain. I could go on, but I won't. I'm going to enjoy my beer and book, which is how I dine when I'm on the the road. Go, just go, and have the best dinner you're going to eat in South Carolina. PS. As I was finishing my meal, a couple of guys came in and looked at the menu behind me. I had to give my two cents. One ordered the chicken. Great, now I had to wait till they got their food. His words, "How is this guy not famous." The look of bliss as he had his first bite of the chicken had to be seen to be believed.

We weren't drinking…read morealcohol that evening, so we passed on the beer and opted for a light dinner of salads: Southwestern and Cobb. Curiously, my wife's Southwestern salad featured breaded cheese curds, along with the breaded deep-fried chicken. The portion was generous and the dressing complemented the fresh greens. She wasn't able to finish her salad but I know she liked it because we became our "Doggie Bag." When I read the description of the Cobb salad I didn't notice that it included bacon, so I opted for some grilled chicken. Turns out my salad had a ton of crisp bacon so I got lots of protein with this one. I opted for the blue cheese dressing, and whatever blue cheese was not in the dressing was in the salad. We sat outside on the patio; the evening featured low humidity, and a nice view of the lake. Our server was very friendly and attentive, as was the hostess.

It has a fun, nostalgic atmosphere without feeling overdone. I ordered the 10 oz ribeye with sweet potato soufflé and green beans. The steak was cooked a solid medium, just as ordered. It was juicy inside with good marbling, but the char from the grill was a little too heavy for my taste & overpowered some of the natural beef flavor. It also could've used a touch more salt. I do think serving it with a compound butter would take it up another notch. The sweet potato soufflé was creamy and smooth with just the right amount of sweetness, not overly sugary like some versions. The green beans were simple, well-seasoned Southern-style beans that paired nicely with the steak. The complimentary cornbread was warm, soft, and a nice touch before the meal. I couldn't leave without trying dessert, so I went with the Bananas Foster cake. The slice was huge and looked fantastic, but it was much sweeter than I expected. I only managed a couple of small bites before calling it quits. If you have a serious sweet tooth, you'll probably enjoy it more than I did. Service was friendly, and the food came out promptly. Despite how busy the restaurant was, everything felt well organized. Overall, Flight Deck delivers a unique aviation-themed dining experience with generous portions and a menu that has something for just about everyone. A few small tweaks to the steak seasoning and char would've easily pushed this to five stars. Would I return? Yes. I'd come back to try another entrée and maybe split a dessert next time.

We checked out the menu and although we were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary, we opted for a minimalist approach: the delicious complementary fries with dipping sauces, charred asparagus, the steak, and a bottle of Zinfandel blend. We were greeted warmly as we entered the restaurant and the good service continued with our excellent server Renée. There were no empty tables in the restaurant and everyone seemed to be having a good time without being too loud, perhaps due to the good acoustics of the unique ribbed ceiling. My wife ordered her filet medium-well and I opted for a medium ribeye. Renée explained that they butterfly the filets to encourage more even cooking. Our steaks came out after about 15 minutes, followed by our asparagus. I thought the timing was perfect. Our steaks had a deep char, but managed to be cooked to our liking. We were pleased with the meat. It was very flavorful. The asparagus spears were quite thick, and I was worried they might be woody, but most were tender even at the base.
