Our server was incredible and she made sure that we got out for our concert in plenty of time. I had a wonderful fish dish along with an amazing beet cocktail.

I highly recommend this establishment and fell in love from the minute We parked the car and walked through it. I would give it more stars if I could.

Our server was truly phenomenal - gave great recommendations, was honest, helped steer us, and took great care of our party of 5. The food was five stars across the board. Some dishes were absolutely our favorites, but there was nothing that we didn't like. The short rib and seafood special were top entrees, and the churro sundae was the best dessert (plus the cold brew ice cream omg). The cauliflower was an awesome starter and we devoured it. The bourbon beet cocktail was unique and a stunner. I could have drank 4 of them, they were so impressive. Overall, the property is beautiful, there's a trail that you can walk (super cool lighting too), it's nice and quiet and peaceful. Everyone is friendly. The food and drinks are amazing. Make a reservation and come check it out.

We have been coming to the farm kitchen for almost 2 years now, couple times a month on our way to visit our in-laws in Simpsonville.

My youngest specifically wanted me to say that he is thankful for Miss AL. So shout out to her for always making us the best breakfast and burgers in the county and always being so good to us. You, and the rest of the staff absolutely rock and it shows! Everything is made with love. Quality of food and service are top notch every time! 11/10

When you're traveling the Bourbon Trail in this area, finding a place to eat between distillery…read moretours can be surprisingly difficult. Luckily, we came across this restaurant and were able to make a reservation for lunch between our tours. I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance, as dining area is limited. The service was quick. We ordered a burger and a chicken sandwich. My spouse was happy with the burger, but unfortunately, my chicken sandwich was a bit too toasted. My first bite was mostly fried breading, and the chicken itself was quite thin and didn't feel as substantial as it should have been. That said, this isn't necessarily a five-star dining destination, but it was a convenient option when we needed somewhere to grab lunch between distillery visits. I would recommend it primarily for the convenience, especially if you're spending the day touring the Bourbon Trail.

The people with me got the bbq pork and it had pickled watermelon which was so good. I never would have thought I'd like it. Their menu changes seasonally and ingredients are from local sources.

Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Please go try it!

I'd want to give it five stars for the concept alone--and the quality of the food and the…read morefriendliness and attentiveness of the service make it an easy call! Unique place. This is a pay what you can, pay it forward to help others if you can, roll up your sleeves and work for your meal setup. So, you might think...ah, cool, enjoy your canned soup and turkey sandwich, I'll go to a "real" restaurant. This would be foolish. The food is every bit as good as you'll find in a more traditional, for-profit setup. They focus on locally sourced ingredients and have a seasonal menu as a result. The food is delicious. Menu is delightfully trim but with something for every taste (salads, soups, sandwiches, sides). Had some meatloaf sliders with pimento cheese when I was there that I'd like to replicate at home. My friends raved about their selections as well. Service is amazingly friendly and attentive. I'm not sure anyone's glass dropped below half-full. And the servers were happy to share the stories behind the concept, which showed the pride they had in the venture. Everyone is welcome here. Might have a table of folks in suits next to a table of folks stopping in from their factory shift next to a table with someone who's looking for a good meal and will be washing dishes after he eats to pay his fare. Just welcoming, casual, good-feeling place.

They truly are a market where you can purchase many local items from produce to wines and beers to meats to honeys! It was fun browsing through. I also had no idea that they sold plants/herbs here. There was a good selection of healthy looking plants. Outside, even on a rainy day, is perfect to sit and enjoy while here. They have plenty of seating both covered and uncovered.

This was my first visit to Red Hog and I was so impressed, delighted, and intrigued. Can't wait…read moreto return SOON. The event was for a Kermit Lynch paired wine dinner in partnership with the neighboring Wine Rack business. All of the food items were fresh, flavorful, and creative. Our first course was a Red Hog pâté on house made brioche, second course field greens with many locally sourced ingredients, third course Fischer Farms pork product, and finally a cheese course with honeycomb that capped off a stellar dining experience. Service was excellent and attentive without being intrusive. Very friendly and personable, which was also refreshing. We were also appreciative that the wine reps and managers stopped by each table briefly to answer any questions and provide further info. Restaurant seating includes indoor and outdoor covered and uncovered spaces. Communal tables and individual seating at tables or counter height options, as well as bar seating overlooking the open kitchen concept. The chefs and staff appeared to be a well oiled machine and produce quite a demonstration while in the trenches. Noise level can be moderately high when restaurant is at capacity with happy diners. Location has free street parking at corner of Frank and Frankfort Avenue, as well as free parking in the lot located behind and to the side of the business. There is also the butcher shop attached to the restaurant, but it was closed during our visit. Looking forward to returning to check this out in the future as well and hopeful to replicate some special dishes at home. Finally, this place smells GREAT! Reminded me of my origin story rooted in rural spaces and the requisite smokehouse perfume. Happy place!

After all the hype I decided to try Red Hog for lunch on a Saturday afternoon…read more It was pretty busy for lunch but we were seated inside. Lunch menu was a little pricey but we figured this meat must be amazing to have these prices. First the cocktails. Pricey at $15 a pop. We tried two that sounded pretty different the Spanish Pipe Dream and bourbon based Velvet Goldmine and they were just ok and kind of tasted way too similar. These were supposedly on the sweeter side but I'd give them a 6/10. We tried the $17 dry aged burger with an additional $2 charge for fries and it was pretty good but after all the hype it similar to all smash burgers. The dry age flavor really wasnt there. Bun was standard brioche type, not toasted. Good burger but nothing special though. I did enjoy the sauce and toppings giving. It a unique sweet flavor. 6/10 but just go to Toastys for a similar cheaper one with way better fries. The fries were disappointing. Soggy, floppy, zero seasoning and salt on the. Tasted like the oil they were fried in and that's it. Not the best. 5/10 Turkey club. 8/10. $18 with no sides. The bread and sauce really do 99% of the work because taste wise the turkey was not discernable from supermarket deli turkey. The bread is a delicious oven baked pizza crust folded over and the sauce combo tastes like a Cesar salad. I highly recommend this , it's a simple but amazing sandwich, but it at this price point for salad and turkey on pizza crust it really should have a side. Service was 2/10, non existant. Took 1.5 hours to get out of there because of how it took 20 minutes to order and another 20 just to get our drinks, and our server was busy with tables outside so we didn't see her until we were asking for our checks. Overall the food was good, drinks just ok, but the hype this place gets , at least for lunch, along with the service is grounds for dissapointment.

The concept is Chipotle style but it's healthier and they use veggies, sweet potatoes, etc. The first time I went it was very busy but they moved the line through quickly. And that even includes when I said I was gluten-free and they used ingredients from the main pots to avoid cross contamination. I really appreciated that extra effort. The food is tasty, but I wish there were more options. Fresh ingredients and love the restaurant's rustic vibe.
