The place is definitely a dive bar. We went for lunch as a family. I could see it being more bar on weekend nights. I would probably leave the kids at home then. It was perfect for lunch. We had dogs with us, and sat out back. They were welcome and had water bowl. A lot of games outside, and some games inside. Nothing fancy, just relaxed atmosphere. The service was friendly and faster than I expected. What won the five stars was the food. The pimento cheese was very good. The smoked wing were phenomenal! Best we've ever had. Definitely going back when we are in the area. read more

Our favorite after riding Stumphouse. Burgers are delish, chicken and wings brined and smoked on site. I not a big chicken wing eater, but here it's a new ballgame and I love them. Service is spot on. read more

Hell No!!! I would never recommend this establishment. The waitress could not remember what we ordered to drink, took forever to get water. One of us ordered wine and she was the last to receive it. We waited over an hour after ordering our food before we just got up and left. We ordered 3 burgers and a 10 piece chicken wing. The burgers had not been started yet, the excuse was that they had a small kitchen and the wings take awhile. When we went to pay for our drinks before leaving the waitress couldn't even remember what we had. We were told that wings take long because they are smoked. Terrible experience!!!! Would never recommend There wasn't very many people there. read more

Food is very tasty and portions are perfect. Not so much that you leave feeling over full but just enough to feel sated. It was a busy Friday night so service was hard to hear and a little slow but were nice read more

Food is consistent & delicious. Service is always great. A good go to for a bite to eat or even takeout is amazing from here!

What they do too food is criminal!!! Before going I checked the online menu..One would think it's up to date-.I was wanting some Amber and they had some listed. So we set a date and met up with friends hoping for something good. We order a few beers (four of us) ...... Waiter: Oh we don't have any of these Beers any longer...really? Too lazy to update the online menu...Off to a great start.... Oh , "No weapons of any kind allowed on premise "say the door stickers.....Should have known it wasn't going to be good.... The Smoked ( Smokeless) Chicken Club and the wings both = No Smoke whatsoever. Maybe somebody was smoking something as they cooked em. If you say smoke ---Bring it! As for the Chicken....Chicken JERKY is what it was. One bite and I marched it right in to the cook. *** two of us ordered this mess and both were equally disappointing. Fries=== Still raw in the middle...(frozen) This place is about the worst so far as food goes...I'd rather eat a frozen dinner (which i have not had in 30+ years) than ever attempt to eat anything they serve at this place. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of this place ....Hopefully they close the doors . As for the staff= They don't know their stations and the service is only slightly better then the food. RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!!! read more

First day here serving their full menu. Came on Tuesday about 6, we were sit right away. We ordered beers & the Buffalo ranch chicken dip as an appetizer. I ordered 5 wings tossed in trailhead hot and a side of habenero they were both good and spicy. My husband ordered the Smokey chicken club. We sat inside at first then moved outside to smoke. They have several board games inside and outside they have cornhole big jenga and darts. All the food was great, service was great! Definitely will come back !!! read more

Got the smoked wings and they didn't disappoint. Service was on point. Not busy on a sat for late lunch. Would return again if in the area.

We tried this place bc Mathew Sexton was playing live here. It's a dive bar in Walhalla, SC. I didn't know what to expect but the drinks were good, reasonably priced, the bar tenders were nice and talkative. We didn't require table service, but the waitress did come by a couple times to make sure we didn't need anything. The food was basic bar food but was good. Fried pickles, fries, burgers, wings. If we are in the area again, we will go back. read more

Decided to come here because all they showed were 1 star reviews so I figured it had to be awesome! Fresh salads! Smoked chicken! Fantastic! Local dive bar with awesome food and karaoke! A must try! read more

From the moment you walk in, you're treated like someone that's been a regular for years (think "NORM!" from "Cheers"). Sarah was patient, sweet and on her game. The salad was fresh and the burgers disappeared. Highly recommended! read more

Look these guys sell miscuts as chicken wings and when I asked for regular chicken wings on another visit they shorted me like 3 wings and only took like 1.00 off my meal. This place is an absolute disappointment especially after the original partner left. We've been there numerous times and are sad that the guy who owns it now sucks. Oh well 100% cost for 100% product isn't in their SOP. It should be though. I'm sorry guys but yall let me and my girl down. We will never come back after being made to feel our money wasn't worth the effort. read more

Giving a 4 because of this places potential. It's very new, and I'm sure with more time they will iron out the kinks. It's bigger than it looks from outside. Nice sized stage inside, and the back outdoor area has darts, fire pit, axe throwing, and large jenga. Our server was very sweet, tried her best with a smile, but struggled a bit. Missing items we asked for, not clearing table, being gone long stretches of time....just got the impression she was very overwhelmed. They are not on their full menu yet, so we stuck to appies: spinach dip, pretty decent, needed more crackers, cheese board which was a pimento cheese ball with nice crispy bacon on outside, some sort of bean/Mexican dip with chips and krinkle fries. All fine really. Not a lot on draft, but a few good ones. No glassware (?) ,all solo cups. Or canned beer, just unused to that, but ok. Miixed drinks were spot on, and pricing understandable, what you'd expect. Band was good, people were dancing and having fun. Will definitely return after a bit, love having such a place so close. I'm sure they will be a well oiled machine before too long! read more

Still great burgers. Fries appear to be double fried. Crispy and delicious. Amber did a great job as our waitress. New menu items are being added. Now more healthy items on the menu, if you are so inclined. Great to have a full bar in Walhalla with good food and service! read more

Trailhead burger was bussin'. Our waitress Amber was on top of her game, too. Would recommend

very good wings and absolutely friendly staff. would absolutely recommend. A great place to finish your day after hiking in the state park . read more

Really loved the smoked wings and lots of good sauces to go with them. Strawberry goat cheese salad was excellent. $3 beers and great food and cozy bar - what more could you ask for?? read more

First the upside. People are super nice and good service. However, the food is inedible. We had a burger that had actual grizzle in it. I could not eat it at all. The fries were crinkle cut from a bag! The appetizer was not much better. If they upped the quality of what they purchase this place could be decent. read more

If you like warm beer, this is the place for you! This was our last visit to this establishment. The food was OK but the service is lacking. We were there a little after 5 on a Saturday evening, and the place was not that busy. We went to a table and sat down and were greeted very quickly and asked for our drink choice. We ordered 2 waters with lemon and received them, and our order was taken fairly quickly. We waited for approximately 45 minutes for our food. When it came, another waitress delivered our food and asked if we needed anything else. We ordered a beer and a mixed drink. She brought the beer, and it was warm and never brought the mixed drink.I told the original waitress about this when she finally came back to check on us that my beer was warm and that my wife never got her mixed drink. She went to get me another beer and came back and said that the bartender was chilling it for me???? Do you not have cold beer ready on a Saturday night???? read more

Trailhead Tavern has become synonymous with Walhalla High School football on Friday nights for the 2022 season. Thank you THT for hosting a safe and fun environment for families to gather after the games. The food is fantastic and the owner understands the value of community. read more
