I saw this place as we were in our way to our worksite. The name caught my eye and it was all I…read morecould think about. We went here for lunch. It's a small place sort of looked like it could have been a fast food restaurant. There was plenty of seating. You could order from the menu or from the hot table (not sure what else to call it). There were two ladies working up front and it took a long time to order. I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans, a cornbread muffin and a tea (half sweet/half unsweetened). My colleague had meatloaf, Mac and cheese, green beans, and a biscuit. We each ordered peach cobbler. They serve a lot of food! My colleague said she was going to take some for dinner. Well. . . she ate everything. It must have been really good. I haven't had good fried chicken in a long time and it was delicious. I ate all the green beans and the cornbread. I took the chicken to eat later. The mashed potatoes started out tasting good but then I started to notice an after taste that I didn't like. I didn't eat them. My colleague could not eat the cobbler. I'm not sure what was wrong with it but she tasted it and said she couldn't eat it. I unfortunately never got to eat mine. It sat in the fridge in the hotel and I ended up tossing it before I left. I was a little disappointed. I really was expecting some grits and maybe some greens (not green beans).

My bestie and I stopped here on our way to a service, and we are SO glad that we did. I got grits,…read morecheese eggs and a fried pork chop, bestie got grits, eggs and sausage patties. We didn't need to add anything to our food and it was perfect. Those were some of the best grits I've ever had in my LIFE. I will make a special trip out of the way for good food, and this is a spot that I'd come to every week if I lived closer. The cooks' hands are blessed, because the way I INHALED that food should be a crime in itself. The decor was cute and festive for the occasion, but all I could concentrate on was that FOOD.

The prices are higher than the rest of the Oconee area and it's super loud. Felt like a party vibe which we were not looking for at lunch time.

The building was an 1893 cotton warehouse still with the original roof so it may throw you off a bit. However, when you enter "The Hive", it's gorgeous and welcoming! We were there on a Friday night and were joined by the friendliest locals we've ever met! The bar was packed and we all had the opportunity to share stories and laughter until closing! The owners Mark & Jennifer are so open and inviting you can't help but settle in and feel comfortable! Cheyanne was our bartender and boy can she mix some fun and creative cocktails! From the New Fashioned to the Screaming Cicada, she has definitely mastered her craft! The whiskey and bourbon Mark is crafting is unique and delicious. With his wife's passion for everything bee's, the added honey influence is very pleasing to the palate! Whether passing through or a ways up the road, I highly recommend a visit to Soldier of the Sea, you won't be disappointed!

From the owner: Soldier of the Sea Distillery is a locally, veteran-owned business just outside of Athens, in the…read morecounty of Madison. The owners, Mark and Jennifer have made it their mission from the beginning to only buy from local and regional farmers. All other materials, such as bottles, etc. are 100% American-made. To date, they have named and dedicated two whiskies to the men and women who have served this country by sea and by land, Sea Duty and Sword and Saber. The third, for those who have served by air, will be released early next year. It has also been their goal to provide a space for folks to gather, meet their neighbors, and enjoy life. The Hive Pub, which is part of the distillery offers seasonal cocktails, mocktails, and an assortment of other beverages. The pub hosts a number of events from a monthly supper club that highlights the talents of local chefs, to music festivals and parties. Finally, their other passion lies in helping to provide habitat and food to those that help feed us, pollinators. Several of the whiskies use honey in the fermentation process which adds a floral essence to their whiskies. The pub is dog and family-friendly, and everyone is welcome.

Definitely a family-owned place, small town type of restaurant, seat yourself anywhere. Sign that says they close when they are out of food.

We got the fried pickles, southwestern egg rolls, the smash burger, Philly cheesesteak, and the patty melt. Burger was a little greasy and the Philly cheesesteak could be difficult to eat, however it wasn't that big of deal. They had a fountain soda machine and the Diet Coke was very good. They had a cheap price for beer and wine as well. Overall, a very enjoyable experience! Would go back if I was in the area again.
