    Cider flight
    Janelle S.

    Came in between their lunch and dinner times just to get some cider. Got the cider flight and enjoyed it all for a reasonable price. Workers were very kind and told us about the animals they have that we can go see for $10 since we didn't have dinner reservations. We opted not to do it simply because it was hot but definitely want to check it out eventually. Such a cute venue and would like to check out their dinner eventually!

    The ambiance 10/10, the service 11/10, the food 12/10. This was my partner and I's first time here and we loved it. The staff were so friendly and inviting and I got to say hi to some of the animal friends. We will be coming back again and again. :)

    We went to the farm initially on a Saturday during the COVID-19 pandemic, thinking that it would be easy to socially distance ourselves from others out there. We were right. We ran into only three other small families/groups. After checking in, we explored the area. They have horses, goats, and birds, as well as a variety of fruit and olive orchards, rice paddies, and trees. It was calm, serene, and beautiful. We purchased a few flavors of apple cider vinegar and rice. I visited again a few years later specifically for the Friday Night Fish Fry. The ambiance was lovely and the food was served pretty quickly since there was a pre fixe menu - salad, catfish, grits, greens, cornbread, and dessert. The food was very good. We visited the grounds again with a group five years after I'd gone during the pandemic and it was a very different experience. There was live music, a food truck, tractor-pulled wagon rides, and lots of decorations for the fall season. We had little kids with us and we thought they may enjoy the wagon ride. While it was nice to ride out a little further on the farm, it would've been nice to have had at least a little narration. We were just riding around in silence. I'm sure we'll make it back to Congaree and Penn for either an afternoon at the farm or a Thursday Night Supper.

    We recently had a very relaxing afternoon dining at and walking around Congaree and Penn! We've been meaning to go here for quite a while because several of our friends had recommended this spot as a great destination to dine at and mosey about on a date. Luckily we had a sunny day which also didn't include too much heat. What stood out for us with regards for food was how fresh the meals were, in addition to the variety of healthy options. It's evident that they put in a lot of care and time into their food, and it certainly showed and tasted as such! After the meal you can also walk around on the nearly endless land they have which may include some live music and good vibes. Will be excited to come back again!

    Second time here, absolutely loved it again! Great experience! Wonderful service, great food and amazing atmosphere. They go out of their way to make you have the best experience possible. We also go the potato croquettes which aren't pictured but were 10/10.

    A truly stellar birthday dinner experience! Conagree and Penn blew every mark out of the water - service, ambiance, quality of food, value., and everything else I didn't mention It's an honest shame that I live 1,000 miles north of this spot, rather than being the lucky individuals who live across the street. This is a farm-to-table dining experience, but Conagree and Penn also provides venues for vineyard tours, parties, and I can only hope they offer a venue for weddings. It would be an understatement to merely appraise the gorgeous open rural vineyard atmosphere. One can bask in the view all day if they wanted. Coupling the ambiance was one of the most cheerful and personable waitresses I've ever come across. Lively, helpful, and downright hilarious, she was a supreme joy to have for our table. Our appetizers comprised the corn bread, flatbread, and New Potato croquettes. All were delicious. The corn bread had a very nice crumb and you could tell fresh corn was used, as the flavor was much more sophisticated than generic supermarket corn bread that is essentially florescent yellow. The flatbread had a nice crisp and tasted notably fresh. The croquettes were crispy on the outside and smooth (almost mashed potato-esque) on the inside. The entrées topped the appetizers. My relatives ordered the Beef Belly, Gnocchi, Yard Bird, and Shrimp & Grits. Everything tasted wonderfully. The Beef Belly was soft and tender; the gnocchi was clearly made in-house, the Yard Bird had satisfyingly crispy skin; and the Shrimp & Grits was a nice twist from the typical cajun style that I typically enjoy. I ordered the Confit Duck Leg and could not be happier with my choice. Loved the duck, which also had crispy skin. The lima bean cassoulet, fennel, leeks, and apple gremolata were pretty much perfect complements to the duck and were sensational when eaten together. It is honestly one of the most unique food combinations I have ever had, amounting to a top-notch entrée. The only duck entrée I can think of that matched this was from my trip to Tuscany, Italy. Our dessert comprised a slice of chocolate cake that resoundingly closed off a remarkable evening. If I find myself in the area again, I'll be back again with haste. One of the easiest 5/5 ratings I've ever given.

    What a gorgeous day on the farm!

    A beautiful location and delicious food. I want to first address my -1 star from the rating - this visit was my first time at Congaree and Penn, I had heard amazing things for years. The rotating menu has always been mentioned as a show-stopper and I found it to be slightly limited. It may have been that the AC was not working inside but it took me a while to figure out what I would order. We were there for lunch and the menu was dairy-heavy. We were told to limit customizations which I felt was normal but that made me want to order a dish that I didn't have to customize. I went with the fried spicy chicken sandwich as my main - it was absolutely delicious, but a few areas of the cut of chicken were very tough for a sandwich. This was surprising. I ordered, for the table, cornbread and a melon salad. These both were more of the show stopper than anything else! That cornbread was EVERYTHING - fresh, warm, came with whipped salty butter, amazing! The melon salad - crunchy, colorful, rich flavor, balanced flavor, loved!! My -1 star is more so due to the sides and accoutrement being more impressive than the menu of mains that day. It surprised me. Service - our wait staff was very pleasant, but I needed them to be quicker and more observant. We were waiting on waters, silverware, boxes, checks. It was tiring having to waive someone down and then wait for them in a room where we were the only table. We ended up being late for our meet and greet with the farm animals, and it was definitely due to the oddly slow service. Something might have been going on that day bc I found it very strange how everyone kept disappearing. I'm so glad we got to meet the animals!! They were so fun and cute and no one got eaten by an emu which was great! The grounds - absolutely beautiful and I'm so greatful to have gotten time to roam around. I do recommend visiting and in fact I hope to be back for a dinner service in the winter, I think that would be beautiful.

    Fall festivities at Congaree and Penn I tried the Gallberry Honey Cider which was light, honey-sweet, and perfect for walking the grounds. It was such a relaxing evening and I will definitely be going back.

    This is one of my top recommendations for anybody visiting Jax! It is a fantastic place to come, chill, have a drink or 2, bring your dog, bring the kids to see all the animals and then have a great meal, be it dinner or lunch. I particularly recommend coming at sunset time to walk around the farm and then staying for dinner and then sitting around one of the fire pits to have a glass of wine. The aesthetics of the place is simple but beautiful and it blends perfectly with the nature around. The service was #1 and very friendly since our arrival. The food is farm to table, so expect fresh, delicious and seasonable ingredients!

    I heard several good things about this place and was super excited to try it. The concept is great, and the service was spectacular. Our waiter, Sam, was awesome, and every employee we encountered was very nice and polite. Service was truly 10/10. However the restaurant is very niche. They don't offer a full bar, the wine selections were subpar, and the menu felt somewhat limited. I also think the overall experience would be elevated with a full bar. Our drinks were served with fake plastic flowers instead of fresh mint which felt like a strange touch for the type of experience they seem to be going for. Overall, the food was fresh but just okay for me.

    Took a leisurely ride out to the farm and sat in a rocking chair and drank the most wonderful cider! It was galleberry honey and I have to tell you it's the best cider I've ever had! Sweet and tangy at the same time. I really wanted to get some lunch but apparently I got there a little too late. I definitely want to go back because I hear it's all farm to table and I just love that vibe!

    Shrimp and grits
    Carley S.

    Prices are expensive and it was pretty busy but it was very easy to get a reservation with Resy and the food is incredible. I probably wouldn't go back for dinner due to the expense but I would go back for a drink and/or dessert. The atmosphere is gorgeous and the farm is really nice to walk around after you eat. I'd definitely go for one of their nights with the music and food trucks. We got the cornbread (which changes regularly), short rib, and shrimp and grits. Everything was beyond good.

    We loved everything about this place. All of the food that we ordered came out promptly and was so delicious. The whole ambiance was welcoming, homey and farm-like. It seemed that everyone was accompanied by a baby or a dog! We already can't wait to come back.

My husband had to tell her she needed to leave the room because she was causing me so much anxiety and I was on the brink of tears because she was stressing me out so much. Attached you'll find information sent from my coordinator to all vendors which included Andrea the venue manager for the Glass Factory in Jacksonville, FL. My wedding was in early March and the venue was fairly warm as well. Very unique venue but if I could do my wedding all over again, I wish I could have chosen a different venue due to my experience with Andrea and The Glass Factory. I beg you to never get married here!!!!
