What a nice local place! My boyfriend and I visited on Monday night. There were more people than I expected for a Monday but nothing crazy. Our server, Kimberly, was very sweet and attentive. I watched her interact with a gentleman and his kid the table over from us and I found it heartwarming and just above and beyond what you expect for service in this day and age Now the food was great! We got cheese curds to start and enjoyed those. My boyfriend got the classic burger with American cheese and added candied bacon. He was in heaven eating it. It was cooked well and the flavor was there. It didn't need any condiments on it. I ordered the chicken teriyaki Philly. I loved it! It was a good portion, well flavored and delicious. They serve our favorite kind of fries (the battered and crispy ones). One thing I would point out is that the menu on their website is a bit different from their in house menu. The prices were off by a bit 50 cents or so and there were items missing in person. They may need to update their online menu. read more

Even though they were understaffed on two visits, they covered all the bases. Friendly and involved, the food was great.

Once again I'll tell ya'll this place is a well kept secret, a little off the beaten path. They sever outstanding food at very reasonable prices with service that can't be beat. Last night three of us throughly enjoyed ourselves, two having patty melts, one with their seasoned fries, the other with their home made chips, Super tasting for all! I had the Catfish which was also super with mixed Vegs and a Ceasar side salad, which was one of the best ever. If you read this I highly recommend you check it out! read more

I love this place. Bartenders are all awesome. Their food is amazing and it's a really fun bar with lots of activities. Trivia, Easter egg hunt- I travel to SC on business and always feed myself here while I'm working and traveling. read more

I come back for the Uptown every time! But the egg rolls and wings were a delight too. Wings were over cooked by a couple short minutes but the flavor was great. Our waitress was lovely and attentive! We love coming here for the friendly small town atmosphere. read more

The service is expedient and the food is FRESH! Got the Cuban with chips. The Cuban is LOADED with fresh protein and the chips are cooked just right! I came here about a year ago and it was good, but it's improved since then! Nice to find when most places are struggling to find staff. Plenty of help and friendly faces! read more

Food pretty good. Service was great. Friendly people. Family friendly. We had a good dinner and drinks and got to play bingo

This place is ridiculous and desperate to get any dollar they can. They charged me four $1 fees to pick up my food and a 3% service charge. Never again. Burgers were dry read more

Food was perfectly cooked with good portion size for the price. Wings are great size with several delicious sauces to choose from. The delicious catfish nuggets have a little to much salt for my liking, I'm not a salt person, so if you're salt sensitive be sure to ask them to cut back on the salt. The cheeseburger wrap was more than we anticipated and took half of it home, my side salad was big for a side salad with crisp veggies and delicious blue cheese dressing which we also took home. The service was spot on with Megan as our go to gal! The atmosphere was relaxing with various types of music lightly playing in the background and plenty of different programs on the many surrounding flat screen TV's. We've been there several times while camping on the lake and will always return. Thanks for never disappointing us. read more

Opened 30 minutes late for lunch on a sunday. Short staffed. Food was just OK but overpriced.

The food is okay and the service is okay. The atmosphere can be touch and go. It's just okay

My mom lives down the road so when I come to visit we're often looking for something to eat. Options are limited in Moncks Corner so we decided to come by Tail Race as I'd driven by it plenty of times and the Yelp reviews were pretty decent. You can tell this place houses more of a bar atmosphere but we were in for a very late lunch or early dinner, whichever you'd prefer. There were a few patrons taking kicking off work early and enjoying a beverage. We were offered to sit wherever we liked. We did so and my mom was freezing... even after I went out and got her a hoodie from my car. We eventually moved outside and there were no eye rolls or loud sighs of grief. The service was decent and the food was as expected if not better. I had a burger topped with bacon and smothered in beer cheese. There were plenty of games around and a couple pool tables as well. Looks like it would be a fun place to come with my brother for an escape from my moms antics... like when she's excessively cold on a beautifully warm day! See you next time for a cold one Tail Race Tavern. read more

Great food and service yet would love to call out the hidden fees! Prices have already been increased due to the economy, totally understandable! Now the consumer pays hidden fees that they wouldn't know about unless reviewing the bill? We look at a menu and order based upon price of food and beverage and sales tax then gratuity for great service... Now there's more add-ons??? Poor business if you ask me. I will not return to businesses that practice these hidden fees and would like to help spread the word to consumers. read more

Food was good. Service was slow on tables that weren't regulars, but once they noticed you they stayed on top of f things.

Great spot to have a drink and some food. Really nice staff, good music. Definitely will come back

We just had a delicious lunch here today! Fried catfish bites, chicken quesadillas, hot wings, fried pickles and roasted Brussels sprouts were absolutely cooked perfectly! We are visiting our son from Maryland who is newly stationed here. Erin was very friendly and helpful. Erin was very friendly and helpful! This place is going to be on my favorites list! read more

Food is awesome here. It is a bar so has more of a bar feel than a restaurant feel but the food is great, service was good and they do have outdoor seating. read more

I really enjoy eating here. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The interior is very clean and nicely decorated. There is a full size bar and plenty of TV's. The food is the best. I was told by someone before I went there for the first time that the prices were high. After my first visit I realized that you receive twice the amount of food you need. So far I have had the fried pickles, Nachos, fries and wings. I have been more than pleased with all of them. read more

The service was good and the drinks were good. The food was not good. After looking at the yelp pictures we thought it would be home fries and made from scratch things but it was all just frozen food and wasn't good. I'm sure it was an owner change over but I was not impressed by the food read more

Slow service and slack waitresses. The food is really good and came out fresh! Would recommend

Well my wife and I decided to try somewhere new to eat in our new home town of Moncks Corner. We both wanted a burger so we decided to check out this place. Well lets start with the good. The atmosphere here was good, there was a mixture of different age groups. They had some games to play and plenty of TVs to watch. The parking lot is lit up really well at night also. The staff also seemed to be polite and friendly. Now on to the bad. The night started with our drink order and appetizer. Even though this place is a bar I had a Pepsi since I was driving, the fountain mixture was obviously not set to provide the right mixture and was a little on the carbonated side. I am not a fan of Pepsi and would have preferred Coca Cola or it would have been nice to have been able to order a Mountain Dew (don't have it) since it was Pepsi products. The mozzarella cheese sticks were over cooked. For the main entree we both had the bacon beer cheese burger with fries. We were asked how we wanted the burgers cooked, we said medium and when they came out they were overcooked (super well-done). The burger was flavored well and the cheese sauce paired with the burger patty nicely but when I had a little bit of the bun left with cheese sauce on it; let me tell you it was not very tasty. The french fries were soggy and over cooked in grease, they tasted and looked like they were fresh cut fries but probably would have been better off baked in an oven, it felt like they were holding in grease. The service was also a little slow. Now I am giving them 3 stars because it looks like it would be a fun place to hang out and have some beers and watch some sporting events. This place also has a lot of potential if they were to improve the quality of food a little bit. I would also recommend that they revisit their prices because it was a little over priced I felt. Overall I would go back here again for beers and a place to hangout with some friends. I would even be willing to try the food again because some places do have off nights. read more

The foods here is unique and different from other places. It is also delicious. We normally get it to go but dined in the other day. The service was slow they seemed short handed but that is the normal anywhere these days. All in all great place.and we will be back. read more

Met some friends for dinner at the Tail Race. My friend an I had the fried catfish and our husbands had the pork chops. For sides, we had Mac and cheese and collard greens. The pork chops were delicious. The mashed potatoes were cold. The Mac and cheese was a little too creamy for my taste. The catfish had a nice light coating, but the fillet was very thin. The acoustics made it very loud. Not sure what it would sound like when the band plays. We were happy to see the arcade games and of course our spouses had to try their luck at pinball. The first two dollars worth of quarters they put in wee eaten by the machine, but once we made the waitress aware of it she came back with the quarters we lost. The guys had a great time playing. Seems like a fun place to go for a casual night out. read more

Don't sit at the end of the bar! You will freeze your butt off!! Great bar with really good food and friendly staff. Way cheaper than I expected for the quality of service and food. I'll definitely make this a routine stop when I come down to Santee Cooper to fish. read more

if i could give this a zero i would. this isn't my first coming here, i love this restaurant/bar their food has always been amazing but today it wasn't, for starters the burger was super dry. i am disgusted and disappointed today, i had placed an order and patiently waited and after & eating my food i realized there was a hair and after looking closer i realized it's a facial hair, i go to open my mixes veggies so i don't get sick and guess what??? there's a bigger hair on the top of the cup!!! i am highly disgusted, i want to throw up in such disgust. please if you work food service learn to cover your facial hair and your other hair as well. this is a very gross situation to be in. read more

Well what can I say? It was about 6:30 pm. I'd not eaten since a bowl of cereal about 6:30 am so I was hungry. When I arrived NO one was eating so I started to go elsewhere. Given the time of day and my lack of motivation to go elsewhere I ended up ordering a cheeseburger and some onion rings at Tail Chase. My cheeseburger was ok. It certainly was not one that I would not go back for. My onion rings were not edible. They were SO greasy. I told my server about the onion rings which I had not eaten. She did not say a word. When my check arrived I was charged for the disgusting onion rings. I paid my bill and got out of this place. Not impressed by the food, service or anything in general. read more

Food - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Atmosphere - 3/5 Price - 5/5 While the menu is a bit larger than necessary, I never had a bad meal here. All very well thought out, and well executed. They need to put some more attention towards their selection of craft beers, but they had enough to satisfy everyones needs. The staff was very friendly and personable, although they see little problem with their regulars overdrinking on a daily basis. read more

FUN FUN FUN!!!! No complaints at all. This place is so much fun! Surprisingly not crowded on a Saturday night! Plenty of seating with two-three pool tables. My two shots of fireball was chilled/cold, which made the drink soooooo much better. Highly recommend this place! read more

Best local bar in town hands down. Live music most of the nights, daily drink specials, great food, great staff, great service.

My husband and I stopped in on a Saturday (10/6/18) night. The place was pretty much empty...maybe 6 people in the entire place. I didn't see a lot on the menu that interest me so I ordered a beer and the hero nachos with chicken thinking how can you mess up nachos. Well this place figured that out. The cheese wasn't melted, there was a huge leaf of un sheredded lettuce, a hand full of black olives and a few jalapeños. It Iooked like a blind bull with two left hands and no thumbs put it together. To make matters worse the female bartender who took our order didn't say another word to us until we asked for our check. I have no plans of ever coming back. read more

Stopped in because we are new to the area. It's a Saturday but maybe not late enough for a crowd. Sat at the bar and the bartender took my order and didnt check on me again until it was time for the check. Ordered the Hero Nachos and was disappointed. Bland and dry, cheese wasnt even melted. Finished my beer and left. 2 stars because of potential, maybe I caught them on a bad night. read more

Great service. Had the Cuban, best one I had in Moncks Corner. They also have bands on Friday night.

The wife and I wanted bar food. Everyone knows what they are getting when ordering food at a bar. The food was decent, but the place was dead. I counted 30 people and half were geriatrics. I asked the server where everyone was and her reply was that the game started at 9pm and she really hoped no one would show up. Halfway through our time there the geriatric crowd left and there were only 13 customers left. The MAJOR problem came when it was time to pay our bill. There payment system crashed and they were unable to process debit cards. It seems that this is a regular issue. We were told to use the bars ATM that charged $3.50 for use. There are literally a thousand bars in the area, go to one of those instead. read more

Wife, daughter, and I had an early supper at the Tail Race. The food was excellent and the service was equally good. We will definitely be back. read more

I'm not sure if I've ever left a one star review. Absolutely nothing redeeming about this visit. We arrived at 540 on a week night and it was not busy. The bartender greeted us, and advised to sit anywhere. A waitress brought us menus, my companion ordered diet coke and I got tea, which was promptly brought. We got the appetizer of the candied bacon which was clearly pre done and reheated. It went downhill from there. Forgotten sides, lackluster food, poorly described dishes (quesadilla on a spinach "tortilla?") begin as an overview. Our server took our glasses away from the table for refills, and dropped them off back with us. She's reversed them (I'm guessing), so we now both had a carbonated mixture of tea and diet coke. I had to go to the bar to get this resolved. Fifteen minutes after finishing out meal, I finally saw our server and went to ask for a box, she interrupted me and said "one minute," and then said she'd bring the bill in just a minute. She then proceeded to make change for 4 other tables who all arrived after us and also seemed aggravated, before even bringing our ticket. We were there over 90 minutes. I can't recommend this place. We had $40 worth of drinks, sides, apps, and the fries were really the only thing I can call good. Service was as poor as I've experienced in years with the drink reversal, MIA, and then blatant passing by. read more

Sh*t hole! It's Sunday with the playoffs and every TV is on the A&E channel because they obviously didn't pay their DirectTV bill or something. Just close your doors and save everyone from the promise that they'll enjoy themselves. read more

Very tasty food. I love the Gobbler sandwich. There is a lot on the menu and everything i have seen is good. Only complaints are that sometimes they can be really slow and you dont get your food in time if you are on your lunch hour. Also they recently changed their fries from nice home style fries to regular ole frozen fries, nothing special about those any more. read more
