Outside of that, their signature item is the smoked wings. They have a great variety of beers on tap and signature cocktails. You can get a table and server, or just walk right up to the bar and order a cold drink with fast, friendly service. A+

I visit this restaurant regularly during June, July, and August because it is close to the…read morecampground and easy to reach by water. Unfortunately, my last two visits have been very disappointing. Last weekend, I ordered the pretzel with beer cheese. The cheese came out curdled. I sent it back, but by the time the replacement cheese came out, I was already done with the pretzel. This weekend, I ordered the fish tacos. The fish was cooked, but it was cold. I asked the bartender/server if it was supposed to be cold, and she said no. I sent it back. The second order came out quickly, and the server stated that she had taken it from another customer's order, but the fish was still cold. She asked if it was hot, so I felt it and asked her to feel it as well because it was barely warm. A third order came out, and again the fish was cold. At that point, I asked to speak with the manager. The server came back and said the manager was too busy. I then insisted on speaking with him. When he came out, he was dismissive and argumentative instead of trying to understand the issue. He asked if I was saying the fish was not done. I explained that it was cooked, but cold. He said it was because it had been sitting out for ten minutes on cold coleslaw, but it had been less than three minutes, and the previous two orders had also been cold. He then said he had just pulled it off the grill, but based on the temperature of the food, that did not seem possible. After three cold orders and a manager who seemed more interested in arguing than fixing the problem, I left. This is disappointing because the location is convenient, and I have been a regular weekend customer during the summer. Unfortunately, after back-to-back poor experiences and the way the manager handled the situation, I would have a hard time recommending this restaurant.

Quaint Tavern, located just off Main, with an excellent selection of wine, beer, and specialty cocktails. Small with limited seating, make sure you get there early or be prepared to wait a bit. We ordered the divinity and a specialty old-fashioned to drink and both were as delicious as any cocktail we've ever had. The peach Caprese salad was a real standout, so fresh and really delicious. The Instagram worthy jalapeño popper burger was perfectly prepared and really juicy and delicious. The cucumber salad was spicy as advertised and delicious, I could've eaten an entire bowl of those cucumbers. My son had the 4th street burger and I swear he ate it like he never had anything more delicious. The service was excellent. The food was excellent and we will absolutely be back. Highly recommend the Highlands Tavern!

It had a bacon jam which complemented the cheese, all while not detracting from the delicious beef. My table mate had the beef short ribs; tender, rich, and a good portion size. The potato salad side was tasty enough to make me wish for a larger scoop. Our two cocktails were top-shelf quality, although the Old Fashioned's cherry was an obliterated mush. The lacking star is due to the noise level once the live music kicked in. The inside seating is already a loud echo chamber of hard surfaces, but adding the near ear-splitting band out in the tent made all conversation impossible. I saw several tent tables clear out when the music started. I like live music, and the band was good. But half the decibels would have been more than enough. I think my ears are still ringing two days later. Service was good as our waitress barely kept up with the dinner crowd surge and a new and uncooperative POS system. Hopefully that will fall in line and give the staff a break! Looking forward to future offerings from their talented chef. Will definitely visit next time I'm in the area.

THEY DISCONTINUED PRIME RIB in most of their locations. Within the past couple of years, J. Peters franchise opened several locations in the Myrtle Beach area where they do still serve prime rib. Why discontinue it here in Lavonia, Mauldin SC, Anderson SC etc... Now this is just another so-so restaurant whose menu is not worth going to. I'm very disappointed and hope they get close to closing down over this decision and go back to serving what the people want!

If you are not a local from this area I wouldn't bother, especially if you're young.

The bartender was friendly, quick and drinks were cheap I'll give them that. But 5$ cover charge just to get in for the band?? With the name of the place atleast offer a little more if your charging a cover charge. Just overall not a welcoming place unless you're 70 years old and lived in town your whole life

I am not local to the area and I do wish I could revisit this establishment. My bar fly days have been long gone, yet I guess "closing the bar" is part of my genetic structure, and these things don't go away. It's not something that I intend on doing, but the conversation flows with me and around me, and people just don't want me to go home! So, we ended up hanging out with one of the owners, and this gave me an insight to the whole idea behind this concept. If you are interested in local, unique products, and search for new flavors, this is the place to find excellent quality drinks. There's in-house gin and bitters, and that is all I will say. Well, one more thing I will say: don't be surprised if this bar becomes a national destination. The bar itself is classy and inviting, the music is great, the crowd is cool, but the hospitality is above tops. This place has it all and deserves a visit. Closing statement: very few places deserve 6 stars, this is one of them.
