    Brewhouse Wings
    Jacques I.

    Blue Ridge Brewing was a fun bar to check out while in the downtown Greer area. I love a place where the staff are super chill and social, the space is welcoming and there's something on the menu that you'll want to have again and again. That was exactly how it was during my experience at Blue Ridge Brewing. We came here around the afternoon on a Sunday and there were a few patrons inside, mostly sitting at the bar, which is where we ended up sitting. It's the best seat in the house as our bartender was super fun and friendly. It seemed like a lot of locals come here as the staff knew many of the other patrons. It's always a good sign when an establishment has frequent customers. I wanted to try some of the local beer since I don't often find beer from the south where I live, but they only had two of their own beers on tap. Most of the other beers on tap were from elsewhere. However, I saw for their seasonal special, they make their own eggnog, which has bourbon, rum and cognac, so I had to try it. AND IT WAS SO ADDICTIVE. Our bartender let us know that they also sell it in a half gallon bottle. How dangerous! The specialty eggnog was awesome! If I was a local, I would easily get bottles of this stuff. So I'm glad I'm not a local. Although I didn't find beer here, which is ironic, given that it's a brewery, I found one of the best egg nogs I've ever had!

    Dinner time and since I had found a spot with a power outlet, I opted to stay for a while. That meant I had a second beer and an entrée instead of just a quick stop. Warmly welcomed and with a friendly server who checked in on my often as I nursed the beer and the appetizer (the pimento cheese is excellent!), I enjoyed my time enough that I decided to stay for more. Another beer and a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Good stuff and reasonably priced. I have to say - the website is a PITA. It's hard to browse. Y'all need to try it on Chrome and see what I mean. We don't need fancy. We just need it to work easily. [Round number review 19500 overall - 1071 in South Carolina - 470 of 2023.]

    Ordered the Blue Ridge Burger & a side of zucchini after a recommendation by the server (instead of fries). This is what came. Lol. It's good, but I guess I expected more than 6 slices of zucchini. Meanwhile my colleagues all got a giant mound of fries. Moral of the story, order the fries.

    The best eggnog ever! Only available at the holidays the eggnog has bourbon, rum, orange cognac, in a rich, creamy, decadent eggnog. Services is excellent. Food items on the menu are always very tasty..

    Wings and grits
    Sarah S.

    This is our go to casual place in downtown. We find parking to be easier at this end of Trade Street and the food is consistent. I personally love the wings with a side of grits. Their burgers and gyros are always good too. For beer, I like their Kurli Blonde. If you're looking for delicious food in a clean restaurant with exceptional service, this is your place!

    FISHY FRENCH FRIES AND HOUSE KETCHUP
    Cierra P.

    In the heart of Downtown Greer with rooftop access, this place should be a hit, a smash, poppin', the B place where you don't mind a little bit of a wait - but it's not. It be been here three times and as a transplant, I feel that I Have a wide palate but all of the fivestar reviews make me feel the need to leave an honest review from someone who hasn't always been local and has a taste that exceeds the confines of Greer. It's a flop. More misses than hits and it give the "empty restaurant effect". https://www.fastcompany.com/3016506/the-secret-power-behind-why-we-pick-busy-restaurants-over-empty-ones The fish-fry taste lingers in the French fries and other fried items. I shouldn't order fries and taste and smell fish. The burger boasts "lettuce tomato mayo" and proceeds to be a colorless tomato with heavy mayonnaise and flavorless scalloped display-lettuce. Although I appreciate the effort of the fresh herb garden, nothing about this place screams fresh. Meat heavy with a few flair items like their relish and BBQ sauce but the BBQ is so heavily flavored of chili, dare I say I'd rather have a side of sweet baby rays. Also a house ketchup with served - although I applaud the effort and ingenuity it was a terrible paste that reminded me of licorice? The efforts to be "different" or "unique" with their sauces were a major miss. Some fresh plates, a coat of paint and some wall art in the bathroom, and a fresh & modern menu would go A LONG WAY. Drop the heavy fish-heavy menu items that stain the smell of the walls and invest in a high quality produce for your burgers. Fresh jalapeños, better lettuce, quality pickle spears, and quality cheese would really elevate the menu. The moral of the story - The steak bomb is the best thing in the menu." And the server, Shane, was very nice.

    Stopped here on a Tuesday night and will be back! We did an appetizer tasting with fried pickles, wings and pimento fries - all excellent plus sour cherry cider. Excellent service and a cool vibe with brick walls, hardwood floors and triple decker seating. All conveniently located in beautiful downtown Greer. Highly recommend this space!

    Shrimp & Grits
    John S.

    Decided to give it a try based on recommendation from a co-worker. Make sure and check hours. They were closed the first time I tried on Monday night. The grits in the Shrimp and Grits were very cheesy and tasted really good but the consistency was off IMO. I prefer them to be thicker. The shrimp were large and plentiful. Not as much Andouille Sausage as I expected. The Strawberry Cheesecake was also good but again consistency was a little off. Overall good not great and a lot of other options in the area.

I read it three times, not because I misunderstood it, but because I wanted to confirm that it listed pets and children in that order, which it did, and that tells you something about the sequence of problems they've encountered on the lawn, though I've decided not to find out what exactly. With that said, the lawn is not exactly a lawn at all, unless you consider granite rocks as a lawn, which the residents of Elberton, Georgia do as it is considered the "Granite Capital of the World." Elberton this is not. This rocky lawn is to be filled with Bichon Frisés and children in ball caps, and on the afternoon I visited it was doing exactly that. There was a dog near the covered bar area moving through the patio with the serenity of an animal who has never once been told that other people exist. His owner stood nearby holding a beer and looking proud, which is a face I recognized, because I have a son and have stood next to him with that exact expression at least twice in public places where I should have known better. I had the Radiant Positivity, a sour ale at 6%, which sounds like something printed above a middle school guidance counselor's desk but turned out to be genuinely good, all grapefruit and a tartness that knew when to stop. I thought about ordering the Kamp Jam, a 4% light lager described as tasting like shared laughter and the unbreakable bonds of friendship, and decided I wasn't there yet. The owners opened this place in 2014 and have expanded it three times since, which tells you something about Greer that it probably already knows about itself but that the rest of the area is still catching up on. Consequentially, Greer itself has also expanded its waistline 3 times since 2014 but that's a discussion for another time. I thought about asking about the Southern Sanctum, an American Tripel, but the afternoon had reached the evening and a point where a Tripel felt like a commitment that deserved more deliberation than I had left in me. I paid my tab, which was reasonable in a way that surprised me given the quality of everything, said goodbye to nobody in particular, and drove home thinking about the Kamp Jam, and whether the unbreakable bonds of friendship were something I'd get to eventually.

    Out of all the breweries we hit on this trip, this one takes the crown!…read more From the minute we walked in and saw them making Jell-O shots, I knew this wasn't just a brewery, it was a party brewery. The kind of place where you stop in for "just one" and suddenly realize the sun has set and you've somehow made three new friends... aka my favorite kind of brewery! I wish we could've stayed for the live music because the stage setup looked awesome, complete with disco balls and plenty of Instagram-worthy areas for pictures and boomerangs (yes, I'm a millennial and I'm sticking with it)! The beers were excellent, and it became clear pretty quickly that this brewery is woven into the fabric of the town. Their brews popped up at several restaurants we visited, and after stopping in, I totally understand why they're so well-loved in the area. The space is huge, with high ceilings and plenty of room to spread out. There's even an outdoor area built out along the sidewalk--probably a COVID addition that was too good to take away. The vibe was laid-back and welcoming. Service at the bar could've been a bit more attentive, but everyone was friendly and chill, so it never bothered us. And my favorite moment? Watching a grandpa-aged regular stroll in with his own paper plate "poor man's charcuterie board." I absolutely loved it. That's the kind of place this is, a spot where regulars feel at home and newcomers instantly want to become regulars! No food that I could tell, but honestly, with great beer, good vibes, live music, disco balls, and Jell-O shots, who needs much else?! If you're brewery hopping around town, make sure this one is on your list. It was our favorite stop, and I'd happily spend an entire afternoon getting lost here. Also, not sure if the Jell-O shots are a staple or not so don't be sad if they aren't there, I didn't asked, just vibed lol
