We were genuinely excited to stop at Hammond Ferry Larder on our long drive home from Surfside Beach to Montgomery. Between the playground right next door, open outdoor seating, and nearby walking trails, it seemed like the perfect road trip pitstop for our stir-crazy kids (and parents). Bonus: we saw they had drinks and a promising-looking menu. Total win, right? Unfortunately, we rolled in an hour before opening--my fault for not checking the hours. That would've been a disaster since my 4-year-old and I were both doing the "I need to pee" dance, but thankfully, the kind kitchen staff let us in to use the restroom while they prepped. We decided to hang around and wait for them to open, and honestly, the outdoor space made it easy to kill an hour. The kids ran around, we played on the playground, and when a sudden downpour rolled in, we took cover under their patio and even got to play a round of giant Connect 4. By the time 4:00 rolled around, we were wet, hungry, and ready to eat. And then it got awkward. We rushed inside excitedly... only to be met with a trio of staff who looked just as confused by us as we were by the vibe. No one greeted us, no host stand, just a blank stare until someone finally said we could sit anywhere. So we awkwardly claimed a table and tried to shake off the weird energy. Our server came over soon after, and we placed our order. I got the drink special--a gin Paloma--which was fine, nothing remarkable. We started with fried pickles (solid but unmemorable), and then moved on to our mains: cheese pitas for the girls, hot honey chicken sliders with sweet potato fries for me, and fish and chips for my husband. Sadly, things went downhill from there. My chicken sliders were just basic chicken tenders on toasted buns. The goat cheese added a little something, but the hot honey was nowhere to be found. The sweet potato fries were floppy and undercooked. The girls' cheese pita was... well, exactly what the menu said: pita with melted cheese. But it somehow still felt a little sad. The worst offender? The fish and chips. The fish was soggy, and the breading slid off like it was trying to escape the plate. The potato wedges were also undercooked. My husband ended up sending it back and opting for the warm chocolate brownie instead. The brownie was better than the fish--barely--but it was clearly just a microwaved store-bought dessert with a drizzle of syrup. In the end, the best part of our visit wasn't the food--it was the playground, the covered patio, and the generosity of the kitchen staff who let us in before opening. We were grateful for the rest stop, but the restaurant itself fell way short of expectations. for the family-friendly location and outdoor amenities for the kind kitchen staff and covered patio with games Points off for food quality (main dishes and dessert mostly disappointing) for the awkward service vibe at opening for lack of value and underwhelming execution If they improved food execution and tightened up the front-of-house experience, this place could easily be a 4-star gem for families on the go. As it stands, it's a pretty setting with subpar substance.
I had a wonderful experience dining here. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and great flavor in every bite. The service really stood out--friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. The ambiance created the perfect atmosphere, warm and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Everything from start to finish exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!
The Hammond's Ferry Larder located in North Augusta, SC Food: We ordered the Fish (cod) and Chips and Ribeye Melt and washed it all down with a Mango Mule. The Fish and Chips was good, the house tartar sauce was good also. The Ribeye Melt was tender and flavorful... really good bread. Full transparency, the Portobello Mushroom appetizer left me with buyers remorse. I really loved my experience however it's a little pricey... for food that you could get anywhere else. Service: Great service! We were greeted by the host outside and seated. The staff were very polite and friendly. Ambiance: This is lovely small Tapas with limited table seating inside however outside seating is available. A full bar makes me smile.
We were able to be seated immediately, which in the past has been rare here. Our server was good and brought things we needed. I do wish she would've come over to refill water once. Food was nice and hot. I do wish the chicken was a bit crunchier. They were out of fried pickles so we couldn't have those, but the pickle vodka for the Bloody Mary was pretty good. I would've liked my coffee to be iced. Perhaps the menu should specify if it can be made hot or iced. Small, cute place. A bit of outdoor seating which is good.
Stumbled upon this place while walking through Hammond's ferry one day but had to come back when we had time to eat and I am so glad we did. Such a nice little place nestled in a small community with unique menu items and a great atmosphere. There is option to eat in or outside, and if you have kids there is a playground which is perfect to entertain the little ones while you enjoy your drinks and wait for your food. The pulled pork Benedict was fantastic and so large it was extremely filling that I had to nap afterwards. The French toast my wife had was delicious and full of favor compared to French toast at other breakfast places. Everything tasted fresh and proportional to the price you pay so it was worth every penny. The menu was large enough for options for a variety of food types depending on what you are craving, but small enough that you aren't overwhelmed with option overload. Everything looked delicious and it was hard to make a decision so I will have e to come back to try out other options. Their specials are unique and limited so there's something fresh and new each visit. The service was great and felt family friendly for a variety of dining out occasions.
Went on a thursday night for a friends birthday and it was busier than expected because we didn't know trivia was happening, also made it very loud but it's okay. Food was good but in my opinion a little overpriced. My friend's greek salad was 18$ without a protein which is a bit much to me. The papas bravas and fried pickles were really good. I got the crispy bacon swiss burger which was good but missing the sauce and the bottom bun was completely soaked and useless. The atmosphere is really interesting, inside is very small with a bar and a few tables with only one single stall bathroom and outside feels like someone's nice backyard with a ton patio furniture. Overall I probably won't go back personally, just not my vibe, but I'd recommend them still.
EXCELLENT!!! Food what's on point! Service was on point! And the ambience...sitting outside was like a movie setting!!! we came here on a Sunday for brunch and we loved it! The food was hot and delicious. The coffee was good and the service was great. The food came out without waiting long at all. I got the shrimp and grits. My husband got the pulled pork eggs Benedict. We also got the fresh pork rinds with aïoli sauce. Everything was simply delicious and hot. No complaints from us. We will be back!!!
Came here on a Saturday night and it was decently busy. We had a large party and were able to accommodate us. The service was great and patient with our big group. I loved the spicy feta dip. I wouldn't say it was spicy but definitely very flavorful. The bread really helps balance the flavor. It was a big portion to share and I think we were barely able to finish it in our group of 8. For my main I got the ribeye melt which was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. It was definitely pretty heavy and I should've only had half. I loved the taste so much that I finished it all. Parking seems to be a bit hard here because it's just street parking. It shouldn't be bad on a regular night, but maybe saturdays are busy.
Fun, small, intimate. Not a ton of seating, but we sat outside, which was preferred, and it was nice. There is a playground right outside, which would be nice if we bring kids. The area feels like a small Charleston. The food, oh man, it was delicious! The grits were a great savory choice, it needs a little more flavor, just salt and pepper. The chicken biscuits was spot on, the chicken had a few tough parts. The seasoned home fries were great! The flavor had a little kick and had red pepper and onions. The breakfast burger was good, the bun was large and dense and it needed more bacon jam and cheese; overall good but needs tweaking.
I've had Larder for brunch a couple times but finally had it for dinner and wow. The server was great even though the kitchen was backed up. We ate outside since it wasn't too hot. Definitely recommend swinging by for brunch or dinner any time.
Cute little place, great for sitting and enjoying lunch or dinner outdoors. I really love the fact this place is kid and pet friendly. There's a small playground for the kids and they bring water out for the dogs. We stopped for lunch and ordered kids chicken fingers first my son, papas bravas, the spicy feta dip and fried avocados. I wasn't too excited about the food, it had no taste, no salt, no pepper, but we did order a drink it was delicious!! I hate the food wasn't great, because the customer service (was great) and the outdoor setting make it a great place to hang out at with the family.
This was the coolest place! It's a quaint little outdoor restaurant to grab food and drinks. It looks like there is only street parking I. The neighborhood and the place is surrounded by houses. They have a variety of items to include moonshine ice cream. We ran out of time and it was a bit cold out, so we didn't try the ice cream. They have some interesting sounding cocktails. We sat at on of their picnic tables and the servers were awesome! They turned on the outdoor heaters for us. We all got a salad of some type. I got the Mediterranean salad which was amazing! We got the tots and fried pickles as well. We were super happy with all the choices. I'd love to try their brunch. They also do trivia nights on Thursdays. That sounds like a good time.
The ambiance at this restaurant is one of the main reasons to go. You get a local feel with delicious food, and no rush to leave. My server Melissa was knowledgeable, made her recommendations, efficient and sweet! I would definitely come back to this establishment.

The Food, Service and Ambiance was great. I was recommended to visit this place and one thing I was told to try was the Dill/Garlic Vodka Shot. Well I did not take the shot but I requested it be added to a spiced Bloody Mary- oh yes- delicious. My first Bloody Mary as I'm a regular old fashioned drinker. It did not disappoint! For dinner I had the Chicken schnitzel sandwich and tator tots- delicious. My sis- celebrating her 63rd birthday had a glass of wine- they only have mid selection of wine, house wine is okay, Sangria that she ordered was fruity and she was satisfied. For her entree she had the variety 3 taco plate. She enjoyed that as well. They also had Trivia while we were there- that was cool. This is a cool spot, I will return! read more
After walking 27,000 steps today at Augusta National Golf Club (The Masters), me, my son, my nephew and four friends wanted to jump all over some good ole' Deep South comfort food, and a good bar! Well, The Larder sure fit that category, hook, like and sinker. * The fried chicken wings were great * The hot chicken legs were very good * The fried pickles were salty and puckeringly [sic] good * My bacon / cheeseburger was good * But, the star of this show were the sweet potato waffle fries. I mean you can't get more southern than that. The service was good and the ambiance was "Deep South"! read more

Cute spot with plenty of outdoor seating and some indoor. Located in at the end of a community it's such an escape from the rest of the city and a great place to grab lunch or dinner. Their menu is very limited with not a lot of choices so I went with the ribeye melt ($16) and a side of tater tots. I really enjoyed the sandwich and the tots were great as well. I tried their sweet potato fries and they are the best sweet potato fries I've ever eaten. Very moist inside while crunchy outside and not dry at all. I also like that the Larder has King of Pops and ice cream as well. Overall I think this is a good place to eat but it came out to be over $20 for just one sandwich after tax and tip. I feel like I can get just as good sandwiches for less at many other places in Augusta area. read more

If you're looking for the perfect brunch spot, you should definitely check out The Larder. We stopped by after a walk with our dog, and it was busy but they were able to accommodate us. It is a lively outdoor dining environment where you can enjoy the weather, food, and company with friends. We tried a few menu options, all of which were good. They offer a vegetarian substitution for the burgers. My dog even got his own pup cup! read more

Nestled in a cozy neighborhood is a unique Cafe experience at the Larder. Sunday brunch never disappoints. Great service & delicious food! The drinks are pretty great, too! I highly recommend the mimosa flight or any of the boozy coffees! I prefer iced coffee in the summertime! If you feel like you need to walk off some of those calories, the Greenway is just down the street! read more

Ended up coming here due to the wait for other brunch places nearby. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating. I got the chicken biscuit that had pimento cheese on it with a side of home fries. Home fries were well seasoned. Chicken with the biscuit was juicy. My friend got the breakfast tacos which she enjoyed but did need more salsa. Her hubby got the French toast (I think they change the flavors weekly?). While I didn't try the French toast it didn't look as custard-y as I'm used to. Overall the service was good and we enjoyed it. read more
They were busy, but the food wasn't great. Super inconsistent. Ribeye was good and hot while the tater tots on the side of them were old and cold. Skip the hot dog. Entirely underwhelming. The side salad was fine. The vinaigrette it came with was amazing though. Except the food runner said he was gonna grab me the dressing and some condiments for the tots and never came back so I had to track down someone to get it. App wise, we got the Caprese flatbread and tuna nachos. Not bad. Nachos were actually very good beyond the oily wontons. Pizza was fine, but it was on a pita bread (or so it looked/tasted) and also cold. It also took forever to pay. Like I didn't start writing this review until we were complete done eating and we still have not found anyone to take our payment yet. They were busy. But it wasn't good. It wasn't terrible. But not good. We were very hungry so we ate it all. Also we only got checked on once. We won't be back. (Still haven't paid, 15 minutes after eating...) read more
We shared the spicy feta dip amongst 6 people, and I had the chicken & goat cheese sliders as my main with sweet potato fries as the side. The flavor of the feta dip kinda reminded me of Cheetos - it's not spicy though. It was good to share but not my favorite feta dip/I wouldn't have been able to have a lot. The chicken & goat cheese sliders were yummy and actually quite filling with the sweet potato fries. I enjoyed them - but the meal as a whole is a little on the dryer side because there isn't really any sauce, which is probably to be expected for sliders. Restaurant is small so it great for small groups - the service was great. Our waiter was super friendly and accommodating for our slightly larger group with letting us shift chairs, etc. read more
The Larder ... Mannnnnn where do I start. Service is ALWAYS A1. The staff is super nice. Attentive. No issues there. The setting is very serene. I just love Hammond's Ferry. Sooooo. A chicken biscuit for $16 already sounds like a bad idea. But Im like "Maybe this is the BEST chicken biscuit ever. They HAVE to at least give me a decent portion. Don't they?" Of course not. The chicken was probably equal to MAYBE half of a (small) chicken strip and thinner than my pinky finger. The surface area of the chicken was about half of my palm. (I am not a large man by any means.) This was probably THE worst chicken biscuit I have had locally. (Taste-wise. I am NOT accounting for portion/value) Including Popeyes, Bojangles, Chickfila and Garys. Dry. Flavorless. And it's something that is so easy to do. (BRINE YOUR CHICKEN.) You can taste subtle hints of cheddar in the biscuit but it was missing something. I did like the texture of it. Slightly crisp on the edges but soft. My fiance compared it to a Cheddar Bay biscuit from Red Lobster minus the seasonings and garlic. Accurate description. S/N: Home fries came with the chicken biscuit were half-done. Nothing special. Chopped up potatoes. No seasoning. Fiance had the Fried Blueberry French Toast. It didnt blow me away but I liked it. It's a single slice of bread, halved. Was very thick though. Was a bit sweet + powdered sugar. I liked the texture on this one too. Almost felt like a desert. She compared it to cake. We both rated it about 7/10. I won't expound on the eggs (not included, ordered à la carte for $1.50) but they were REALLY bad. She called her bacon, "bacon chips" and was not a fan. I ordered a side of bacon ($3 i think). It was a crisper than I like but I enjoyed it. (Some salt. Finally.) Purchased the mimosa flight. Server wasn't too knowledgeable about the flavors. And kinda just gave us whatever when they ran out of some flavors we requested =\. (Can't even critique the flavors bc I dont know what's what. But strawberry was definitely bad.) Also didn't know what à la carte meant. She was super nice though. Pretty sure IF we come back it will be strictly for a change of scenery and ambiance. I did have plans to visit for the wings one day. Despite them being grossly overpriced. (12 pc. for $18) I did have a friend speak highly of them and they are labeled as "FAMOUS". Which is usually a red flag I'll revisit this review when I revisit. read more

If you haven't tried this place yet, I encourage you to give this a try. I had no idea it was in the same area as Manuel's BREAd cafe and Divino and I've have really good experiences at both restaurants. It was actually hard to find a parking space especially since it was kinda packed when I arrived here Saturday after work. I had no idea that this restaurant sold moonshine ice cream.I actually got a chance to get Apple Pie Moonshine ice cream along with the RibEye Melt with kettle chips. It was absolutely worth the visit and I didn't leave disappointed. read more

I came in here to try it because I've had pretty good experiences with Manuel's Bread Cafe, and this is their sister restaurant. It definitely did not disappoint. It's a little more casual than its cafe counterpart and it is more of a seat yourself and enjoy adult lunchables with your choice of liquor affair. My friend and I sat ourselves and started talking. Time seemed to have gotten away and no one had come to attend to us. The bartender left from behind the bar and asked, "Has anyone come to help you yet?" We shook our head no. He apologized and brought us menus and said, "I'm the bartender, but I'm also the manager. I am very sorry for your wait and the first round of drinks are on me." Unfortunately, we are responsible adults that do not drink and drive, so we refrained from imbibing and opted to get sodas. We ordered a pimento cheese and the chicken and goat cheese sliders to share. The food was delicious and has a very farm to table feel. Even the chips seemed hand cut and fresh. I can't wait till it warms up so I can try this place with its outdoor patio. read more

Some friends and I stumbled upon this place when our first choice for brunch was at capacity. At first glance, the atmosphere was nice and the people seemed friendly. The gentleman who refills the drinks was consistent and never let our cups get below half. Amongst all of us we had: shrimp and grits, bacon, home fries, eggs, Mary Jane drink, sweet tea, and blueberry French toast. The sweet tea, bacon, and eggs were good. The bacon was cooked well, and not too crispy. We found out why none of the other tables ordered French toast. The French toast is actually fried, dark crispy on the outside. The inside is EXTREMELY mushy. It is similar in texture to cake that isn't done baking. They do not offer regular make syrup so if you are allergic to blueberries this isn't for you As The bread itself is quite bland and nothing any of us would order again. Many of us couldn't even finish it. The home fries are simply small cubed potatoes with diced raw onions and tomatoes. There isn't enough onion or tomatoes to mention them honestly we counted about 3 each per plate. They are served with a spicy aioli but ketchup was also available. They weren't seasoned at all, not even with salt. The Mary Jane drink left much to be desired. It was like champagne with pink lemonade. And for a whopping $12 it certainly could have stayed with the bartender that made it. We were quite disappointed that the server suggested this. Again, no wonder we saw so many orders of mimosas coming out and none of what we ordered. The shrimp and grits was actually good before we found a hair in the food. While the staff was nice, they said it would be COMPT. Well I guess that doesn't mean complimentary because the $18 dish was simply reduced by $10 Vice being complimentary for such an unsanitary finding. So many things wrong with the place. The bathroom leaves the patrons wondering why the prices are so high and the restroom isn't tended to properly. Overall, we won't be back due to the lack of care for sanitary conditions, food quality, and price gouging. read more
This is what a modern bodega should look like. Located within Hammond's Ferry, parking requires you to immediately to become a member of the neighborhood. You find an open slot on the street, walk up the sidewalk, passing homes and their front porches as you prepare to enter the best "local bar" in the area. The night I stopped in for supper a local artist was on exhibit. But art is simply an addition to a place that seems to have everything. Local wares on the shelves, regional beers on tap, and locally sourced dishes on the menu all make you feel at home yet takes familiar dishes and adds its own flair. I ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT and substituted tater tots for the chips. I needed a quality stout on a brisk night and one on tap from down in Savannah was the perfect match. It came out quick, cold, and ready to be enjoyed. Now when the BLT arrived, my first response was in surprise at the sheer size of it. It is not a kid's sized sandwich. And that bread, you don't have to be a bread lover to appreciate the fluffy airy texture of it. The jalapeno bacon gave it the kick, that and the lettuce gave it the crunch, and then the horseradish tarragon aioli was the boot that kicked everything you've ever known about fried green tomatoes and BLT's out the window. The tots had that perfect amount of salt, enough to enhance but not counterbalance the starchiness of the potato. The outside, crisp with each bite tempting you to eat more than one at a time. The team here is top notch and the atmosphere is cozy, close (as in seating), and makes you wish there were a Larder in your neighborhood. I look forward to returning soon. read more
