Great views of the water. You can dine outside on the balcony, upstairs on a covered balcony, or inside. Then you can walk the rocks on the river. Burgers are great and onion rings even better ?
Very nice casual restaurant on the water near the Chimney Rock State Park. Wait staff was great. Ian gave us a suggestion for a great place to hike. Gift store staff were also super helpful in suggesting a historic place to visit. We had the Hillbilly fries, and they were covered in pulled pork, bacon, and cheese. Delicious! We shared a turkey sandwich. It was also fantastic. Great lunch stop.
Can somebody please tell this establishment that this is not a concert venue and turn the music down? 8 dollars for a weak mixed drink and the glass they use is meant to cheat customers. We came to relax and listen to the river not a screaming girl trying to sing. Server was the best part. Burgers were sub par.

See Patrick at the bar for THE BEST gin and tonic. Make sure you add the ST. Germaine. Pat will know.

Grateful food, good service in a beautiful setting. Fresh burgers and delicious fries. You won't regret it.
To see a family that really cares about its patrons, staff and restaurant is amazing. Happy to see the 100 A on their Sanitation Score us impressive. They have a little shop next door too with a coffee bar and some pretty sweet t-shirt designs and other items too! Keep it up RWG!!!

Will start with the good. Our service was super. Unfortunately I can't remember her name. Overall the food was really good. My grilled chicken was very grilled tasting which I liked. The bourbon jam was delicious. The sauce for the sweet potato fries was super good and unusual as well as the sauce for the onion rings. We started with some grilled pickles, which had a nice tang and a good ranch dipping sauce, but the breading could've been toned down. The onion rings were also a little greasy. The food is average kind of fair, but with some nice extra touches. Loads of combo choices which was fun. For the bad. We were sitting in a booth at the very front of the restaurant, and while we were sitting there, a roach crawled out from under one of the pictures on the wall, and scuttled down below the table. we didn't make a big deal about it because we had guests in town and didn't want to ruin the moment. It did make us feel a little queasy about eating the food, but understand that bugs in the south do happen. However, we are fairly local, and will not be bringing other guests there in the future. if you're not Squirrley about pest control and don't care that one person saw one bug, the food is pretty good and the service was great

Delicious! So many burger options. Nice location, limited parking. Gift shop next door. Along the river.
