The Trail Mate was cool, but I really enjoyed the cream ale. It was light, and had a small hint of cream soda. Ending a day of hiking and river swimming at the Lazy Hiker was fantastic. I would 100% come back. About that Lazy Hiker food truck... sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe not good. I'd give that a 3/5. They have no mayo on hand but make burgers... No mayo for the bun before it goes on the grill? That's kinda suspect. The burger was alright. It tasted more like a backyard burger with curly fries on the side. To be honest, it paired well with the beers but there's still plenty of room for improvement.

Brewery #459 Gumlog…read moreBrewing is in a very small town and seems like some guy took the things from his basement mancave after homebrewing and said, " I want to start a brewery". This man is my idol! The brewery is small, but no space is wasted, there is a nice bar, a decent amount of seating, a shuffleboard table and tons of Bob Ross, Grateful Dead and SEC football decor. I got 2 beers while here, a Mister Lizard IPA and a brown ale. Both were really good. The food menu looked solid with lots of sandwiches and German stuff like pretzels and brats, but I wasn't hungry at the time. Perfect little brewery that any small town would love to have. Oh and I beat my buddy at shuffleboard.

It was fun and festive with dozens of team flags hanging from the ceiling, screens showing a little bit of everything and table games, video games, darts, and foosball. They had an assortment of beers and a really extensive and creative menu with appetizers, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and grinders. Our group of 5 started with nice cold beers. (They even had a program where people could "pay forward" a beer to a healthcare worker, first responder, educator, or military personnel.....very cool!). Our server, Tricia, was friendly and attentive. We started out with Chips & Dips for the table. We chose black bean salsa and Mexican street corn. Both were really good and the appetizer was just $10. For lunch I ordered the Autumn Berry Chicken Salad Sandwich on a spinach wrap. It was stuffed with tasty chicken and cranberries which gave it a special touch. It came with chips and a pickle and worth the price of $13! Two friends ordered chicken sandwiches, (grilled chicken on a pretzel bun/$12 and the Southwest chicken wrap/$12.). They both thought they were delicious! Another friend ordered the Italian Beef Sandwich, $14. It came with au jus for dipping and jalapeños. She said it was great and full of meat!! The final member of our party had a turkey Reuben, $13. She also really enjoyed her meal. The chef, Stephanie, personally delivered our meals and she checked on us to make sure everything was good. Everyone here was so friendly! I can see why Gumlog Brewing Company is poplar with the locals! Good food, good service, and great prices! I highly recommend a visit if you're anywhere near the area....you'll be glad you stopped in because they make you feel right at home.

Friday night at Frog Level Brewing was exactly the kind of small‑town charm you hope for after a…read morelong day of hiking. We grabbed a spot outside, and the atmosphere was perfect -- relaxed, lively, and tucked right along the water. I ordered their Mexican lager, and it was crisp, refreshing, and honestly the ideal post‑trail drink. The food hit the spot too. My adult chicken fingers and fries came out hot and delicious, and I couldn't resist adding boiled peanuts (which were absolutely worth it). A friend ordered the massive pretzel, and it disappeared so fast we didn't even get a photo -- always a good sign. The staff made the experience even better. As non‑locals wandering in after a full day outdoors, we felt genuinely welcomed. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and patient as we figured out what to order. Frog Level Brewing is the kind of place that makes you want to come back -- great beer, great food, great people, and a great vibe. Perfect end to a mountain day.

I was immediately greeted and seated as it wasn't packed. Erin (with an E) stopped by to let me know she'd be right with me as she was taking drinks to another table. Her energy was amazingly welcoming and pleasant. She really takes care of her customers (I paid attention even when she wasn't at my table). I started with the queso and chips and it came out piping hot and flavorful. I think the chips are house made but not sure. I'll ask and come back with an update. I had the buffalo chicken tacos as my main and they did not disappoint. The ratio of blue cheese crumbles to buffalo sauce was perfect and the chicken was tender and good. I now want to try all 3 (2 remaining) of the tacos so I will definite be back! I also had the jungle bird with tequila instead of rum and it was delicious. ( And it came in a cool mug (see pic)!

We came to Sapphire last January & stayed at Fairway Forest. My daughter's boyfriend actually researched this place before our trip, and we were anticipating trying it out ; however it was closed both Saturday & Sunday nights because there had been a snowstorm the day before. This year during our visit it was open on Saturday night, but only till 8:00. We arrived at 7:30, and it seemed as if they were getting set to close up. It's a cute rustic place, right after the 18th hole on the golf course, and daytime mountain views are spectacular! I wanted to try a flight of local beers; however our waitress stated that I had to get 5 specific kinds. I didn't want any IPAs so I settled on just one then, an apple cider type, snd it was served really cold and was quite good. My sister ordered a Captain & Diet Coke; but they were out of Captain. She then said she'd take any type of Canadian whiskey; but they didn't have that either., she finally settled on a Maker's Mark. My husband had an old-fashioned and he said it was fine, but nothing spectacular. I ordered a wedge salad which was really good; but definitely not a "wedge." It actually had very little lettuce....maybe because we were there right before closing? My husband daughter's boyfriend both had the Alcoholic Burger, which was made with beer-cheese. They both really liked it. My mom & sister both ordered the chili and they both said it was just o.k. They got the big pretzel appetizer to share too, and that was pretty good and we all had a little. There aren't many restaurants in Sapphire and the Sapphire Brewery was really convenient and cozy. We did enjoy our time there so I I would definitely give them another try next time I'm in Sapphire......I'll just probably call ahead to make sure they're open.

WELL Fireforge proved me wrong and set themselves apart. We had the pickle platter, Reuben, and studio fifty forge. Although I'm not big on Reuben's my boyfriend said it was one of his top Reuben's and that man orders Reuben's on the regular. The pickle party was delicious. Not sure what they have in their brine but I would purchase again and again. The studio fifty forge was delicious. The only thing I would change is real bacon and not the microwaveable. Even though it was the microwave bacon it was still heated to be crispy. Huge beer selections and friendly staff. PLENTY of outdoor and indoor seating. Parking validation is also available. It might be had to find parking during busier times, but would still go again and recommend to others.

My son had a bison burger and enjoyed it. My bestie ordered the green beans as her side and did not care for those. She said they tasted like they came out of a can with no flavoring added. I would come back again. The atmosphere was hopping and it was nice to see so many people out enjoying downtown Hartwell.
