They have a great space with plenty of seating, both indoors and out. They have TVs throughout the brewery so watching a game there is probably pretty easy. I started with the onion rings and then went with the double smash burger and I have to say it was solid. They also have a great selection of beers which included several guest taps. My only piece of constructive criticism is that when I got my 3 growlers filled at the end of my visit (because they have good beer and I wanted to drink more later), my growlers were neither sealed nor labeled. For those that don't know, breweries usually label the growlers with beer your ordered and seal it so it doesn't leak. I've only ever run into this once before, it was in Amarillo, TX. I didn't make a fuss about it but it didn't come off as the most professional or polished in that respect. I'd really like to see them reexamine this part of their operation and possibly consider branded labels for the growlers (so that you know what you're drinking) and branded caps (their dog logo would fit perfectly and be a good way to rep the brand). Overall, I had a great visit. But I'll inquire before getting my growlers filled again.

There are the usual items, meat, dairy, produce (which includes green tomatoes and tomatillos), hot deli, frozen etc. They also have a massive beer selection and wine selection... this is the nicest in the entire area.

This one sits in New Ellenton (not sure why it says Jackson) and is across from the Bi-Lo. The store is very clean, has only a few parking spots and full shelves. I've posted a few pics so you can see the choices. I'm sure if you wanted something specific and were going to be a regular customer they may order it for you. I'm a top shelf kinda gal and they at least had Belvedere Vodka... I'll have to see if they can order Chopin! This is hard spirits only, not beer or wine... which you can buy across the street at Bi-Lo.

We followed that by sharing a grilled cheese & crab sandwich that was delish - served with salad so we felt righteous. I tried a special cocktail and it tasted like summer, Wayne had a smoked old fashion & then a rye flight. We had such good service & love sitting at the bar so of we made a reservation for Sunday brunch. For brunch I had a fabulously great eggs Benedict- eggs done just right, not so much hollandaise that it overwhelmed & the ham was perfect. The home fries could not have been better & it all went with bottomless mimosas. Wayne had a French omelette - full of lamb shanks, onions & cheese - he said calling it an omelette didn't do it justice! His was paired with a beer/bloody drink that I think may make an appearance at home. All in all another couple of superb experiences.

However, their dedicated customer base means that they sell out of everything basically by lunch time, and the really popular items within just an hour or two. Their bagels are fantastic, and i love how many different and varied flavours they offer. I'm a sucker for a good savoury bagel, and they have so many great options: Asiago cheese, cheddar and jalapeño, old bay, "low country," the list goes on! They also have savoury scones which are fantastic. Their sweet offerings, both in bagels and pastries, shouldn't be missed either. The service is on par with the excellent food, and you can really tell that they love their job and their customers. There's always a smile behind the counter, even at the crazy busiest time, and the owners are often outside greeting people and getting to know their customers. The store gets the job done, but it's not as cozy as you might expect or want for the best bakery in Aiken. If they could make it a warmer feel with big plush armchairs I'm not sure I'd ever leave.

The beer is high quality and the prices are reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised at how little it cost to fill up my growlers. My only real complaint, is that if you're dropping by on Sunday morning, be ready to wait in line as they host a run club. I dropped by one Sunday morning to get some growlers filled and was blown away at how busy it was. And this is a good thing. I want my local brewery to be well supported. But they really could have used another bar tender. Maybe someone called out, I don't know. But they seemed woefully understaffed especially if they knew they were going to be busy. That being said, it is far from a deal breaker. I will simply adjust when I swing by to fill my growlers. It is absolutely worth your time to stop by and have a pint or two.

Instead of going to many different stores searching for what I want I can find it all in one place. To be honest, if I read these reviews already here before I went I might not have gone but I have had none of the problems others have listed. The customer service is always nice and they are helpful. The receipts do say sales are final and I honestly do not expect them to know every detail about every item in the store, especially if they have not used it before. They have a lot of different items in such a small place it's easy to miss something so take your time looking. The employees are very transparent, they let me know that if you break a glass piece you can get another one at 50% off. They also warned me about the pricing on the Japanese food/ candy. It is priced very high and don't just hope you don't notice the price. They also have a cigar section with, again many options. I'd like to believe they have something for everyone because I have yet to not find what I was looking for.
