Phenomenal food and beer pairings. If you have not done one, DO IT! Great staff and ambiance. Family owned business. Their trivia nights are also legendary! If you have kids, they have a kid-friendly atmosphere. read more

This was a really good experience. Jessica took care of us from ordering to serving. She was outstanding!!! The food was really good. It was a nice presentation and tasted great. The coconut cream pie had flavor of cocoon every bite. They have indoor and outdoor seating and lots of it. They have several places to order drinks throughout the seating areas. This was very nice and comfortable. read more

We like this place. I especially love the cheeseburgers and the homemade chips. The beer is great here. Service is alright. Since it's a buzzer operation you don't talk to many worker folks. No waiters or anything. Pastries are good too. Recommend the cookies! It gets VERY VERY VERY crowded here. Unless you want to sit outside, don't come here when there's a lot of cars outside. There's not that many inside table options. It would be nice if they added more. read more

There is a sign at The Southern Growl that reads, in effect, that if your pet or your child produces waste on the premises, you are expected to clean it up. I read it three times, not because I misunderstood it, but because I wanted to confirm that it listed pets and children in that order, which it did, and that tells you something about the sequence of problems they've encountered on the lawn, though I've decided not to find out what exactly. With that said, the lawn is not exactly a lawn at all, unless you consider granite rocks as a lawn, which the residents of Elberton, Georgia do as it is considered the "Granite Capital of the World." Elberton this is not. This rocky lawn is to be filled with Bichon Frisés and children in ball caps, and on the afternoon I visited it was doing exactly that. There was a dog near the covered bar area moving through the patio with the serenity of an animal who has never once been told that other people exist. His owner stood nearby holding a beer and looking proud, which is a face I recognized, because I have a son and have stood next to him with that exact expression at least twice in public places where I should have known better. I had the Radiant Positivity, a sour ale at 6%, which sounds like something printed above a middle school guidance counselor's desk but turned out to be genuinely good, all grapefruit and a tartness that knew when to stop. I thought about ordering the Kamp Jam, a 4% light lager described as tasting like shared laughter and the unbreakable bonds of friendship, and decided I wasn't there yet. The owners opened this place in 2014 and have expanded it three times since, which tells you something about Greer that it probably already knows about itself but that the rest of the area is still catching up on. Consequentially, Greer itself has also expanded its waistline 3 times since 2014 but that's a discussion for another time. I thought about asking about the Southern Sanctum, an American Tripel, but the afternoon had reached the evening and a point where a Tripel felt like a commitment that deserved more deliberation than I had left in me. I paid my tab, which was reasonable in a way that surprised me given the quality of everything, said goodbye to nobody in particular, and drove home thinking about the Kamp Jam, and whether the unbreakable bonds of friendship were something I'd get to eventually. read more

Great beer, decent food, bring your dog. Fun spot. Takes too long to get food if they're busy. They need a better system to handle the crowd. read more

Ngl, I'm jealous Greer gets this place over Greenville! Best beer menu in the Upstate, and I love their Barrel-aged beers! We need more of these around here. The food is also incredible! I got their classic chicken sandwich, but the scallion aioli stole the show. Easily the best dipping sauce around here. I would say try any beer that appeals to you, and you won't be disappointed. Tried the Earl Of The Abbey first, and wow. A beer with earl grey tea is new for me, but works phenomenally well. Plus the service is also great! Casey, Abby, and Bob were all nice, knowledgeable, and friendly. Give this place a try if you want a relaxing drink, good food, a family-friendly spot, or just an excuse to get out. You won't be disappointed. read more

4mile hike to North lake every two months followed by a surprise but tasty meal, every single time! Not too shabby, is it? This time, it was miso mushroom melt and tempeh sandwich with goat cheese fritters, mocktail: Calm Before. As always, sandwiches were so flavorful and tasty. The only thing that I would change is the mocktail volume. More ice and less mocktail for $9 didn't quite fit the bill. Service and ambiance as usual consistent, efficient and lively. Can't wait to come back for the new menu!!! read more

Decided to go here for dinner one night with family that was visiting & it was great! Trying to figure out the service though, was a little confusing at first. It's hard to tell who works there and where to go. You have to scan a QR code to view the menu & then go order inside. You get a buzzer that tells you when your food is ready then. It's just a different system, but very efficient! We had outdoor patio seating, where there's good heating, even on a chilly night. The string lights gave the place a nice aesthetic feel too & it was a cozy environment! The food is also great & I loved that they had a tofu sandwich for non-meat eaters! It was very flavorful, but a little spicy. There must have been some peppers that I missed seeing. Sweet potato fries were also yummy! The portion size was perfect. Would definitely love to go back here! read more

It has become impossible to order food To-Go with this place. We usually give up after 5 tries and just eat somewhere else. Also, the food has degraded since they hired a new chef. read more

The food was quite good but neither my husband or myself found their beer to our liking. It is laid out in such a manner that it takes some explanation as to where to sit, how to order food, etc. family friendly and outside seating options. read more

What a great place. Fantastic beer, great service, and an amazing atmosphere. I live in Texas and the craft beer scene there is very strong. The Southern Growl ranks up there with some of the better Texas craft breweries. This is a must do every time I am in upstate South Carolina. Unique and tasty food and a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Mix in great beer and you have five star read more

Often featuring live music and hosting many a themed event, The Southern Growl is a fantastic place to kick back and relax while you drink a beer and enjoy some great food served up by great people. They have an outdoor area with access to several activities that's fun for the whole family. It's totally worth a visit. read more

This is our favorite brewery in town. It is so fun with a large outdoor area with SO much seating. There's also a ton of seating inside if the weather is bad. They change the menu weekly and also offer brunch on the weekends. The beer flights are a must try. We love taking our family here when they visit. Their burgers are my favorite. We come here often and always have a blast. It is very family friendly and they allow dogs outdoors. The servers are great and they even come around outside to take your dirty plates and glasses. read more

Wings are great, a nice rub that doesn't dominate the wing sauce if you choose to go that route. The Southern IPA has a nice finish. Ordering is a nice change giving you an opportunity to enjoy your meal without interruption. The band and seating was well spaced giving a great experience read more

My brother and his family routinely visit The Southern Growl. We visited for a special occasion as my nephew graduated college. The Growl is a huge space for indoor and outdoor dining but always packed. The staff provide good service with a smile, especially if you are a regular customer. The menu is bar food with a few different twists. I ordered the peanut butter and jelly wings. Very good! Large, meaty wings to boot. I was impressed with the sweet potato fries. Waffle fires at that. The hamburgers look good. Decent selection of in house and regional brews. I am not a big IPA fan, but I enjoyed the cold Howler Bock. It reminded me of Shiner Bock. Always a fun time people watching the yuppies, hippies, bikers, old folks, and families interact in this eclectic brewery/restaurant. read more

Great selection, tasty food, friendly vibes. Have gond several times, bonus points for being family/pup friendly.

If you're going to have someone work the front to take orders, a friendly staff member would be nice. As a first timer, we misunderstood the menu and you could obviously tell it made her annoyed right off the bat. Instead of explaining it, she was snarky and took everything in us not to just walk out. So feeling rushed, had to order off a whole separate menu we didn't have time to review. Crazy, because the reviews always rave about the place but the experience could've definitely been better. The food was great for the better part of it. Wings were crispy. Not many options on sauces. The burger was a good size and fries weren't overcooked or greasy. The inside is spacious, and the seating outside is great. Pet friendly outdoors as well, which is a plus. read more

The Southern Growl - The view from "The Garden"... Our favorite area - Gastropubs Near Me - Greer, South Carolina

What a great place! This was our second time coming for brunch, and we'll definitely go back again! The staff is really nice and caring, and the good came out really fast! Honestly, it was so fast that our pickle dip came out the same time as the entree, so we didn't really get to eat it hot. Next time, we'll order in stages. The food is excellent. The recipes are creative, though be ready as there is a little heat from the chorizo! Everything was well cooked and fair portions. The slaw was interesting as it had a more earthy taste, and we thought it might have been sesame seeds and oil? I wish I had seen the pepperoni rolls they had at the register because they looked amazing. Their beer is top notch and they have a really wide variety. The Weiss Decision is my favorite! My friend also got the Starry Night drink, and it was delicious, well mixed, and really balanced in the flavors (not too mention how pretty it was). For dessert, house made, fresh chocolate chip cookies!! There large and so delicious. Since we were there early in the day, they were even still warm!!! read more

My nieces love this place!! Great for college age or just out. They love the burgers and there's a fun energy about the place.

We visit here every time visiting family in Taylors, Greer, and Greenville. It was decent bar food, with some twists, and beer etc is usually pretty good. However, not sure what happened to the food quality but this last visit was poor. The service and method for ordering is fine. The layout is really nice inside or out, parking is awesome. And they seem to allow community events there. First they poured the wrong drink for my wife. Had to go back up to correct, which was done no questions asked. Then the food. The coleslaw just didn't work for me. My wife's chicken sandwich was honestly disgusting, like fried in fish oil, super thin and tasteless other than the off taste from whatever it was prepared in. Not sure we would eat there again, and just eat a t Culver's, and have a beer at S Growl. read more

Excellent BrewPub serving delicious pub grub, happy hour specials and a wide selection of craft beer. We ordered and took our beer outside and sat at one of the open picnic tables. Very nice space and very relax atmosphere. I had a Belgium Quad and ate the BadAss Burger with a side of onion rings which was awesome. Inside is also spacious with Big Screen TVs all around. Great pub to eat and drink and hang with friends. read more

Tried to go for a Mother's Day brunch yesterday (05/11/25). We got there and although the restaurant was fairly busy, we were seated right away. I stood in line to order food for about 40 minutes, by the time I made it to the front of the line I discovered what was taking so long. They were sold out of all of the brunch items by 12:00. Did they bother to alert their customers? No. Did they amend the menus that they were handing out? Also no. They just tell you when you get to the front of the line, forcing you to find the rest of your party (who are back reserving your table so that it doesn't get taken) to make new choices. After I ordered it was another 45 minutes before the food came out. And when it came out, ice cold and completely inedible. I have had better experiences in the past, but yesterday was a clusterfuck of poor planning and absolutely terrible decision making by the management. read more

Wow!! I haven't been here in a while!! Major changes, fenced picnic/seating area outside, lots of tables, rocking chairs, and more! The outside patio bar is really nice, but very loud due to the huge fan. Bring your kids, your well behaved dogs on a leash..enjoy a cold beverage and sandwich! I order the chicken sandwich with fries (fries are extra), but this sandwich is melt in your mouth good!! I've been missing out and I live just around the corner!! read more

Bathrooms were fine. If you're looking for a cafeteria, self-service style establishment with subpar food, this is your place. If you desire hot food, go elsewhere, because the food ordered, which should've be hot, was inedible. Even asked for a steak knife, and they sent a bus boy to cut meat with a dinner knife, because they don't give sharp knives to customers. We specifically phoned ahead of time to see if the NFL games were being aired, and were told, "yes." That was not accurate. All they were showing were NFL game day updates /recaps. Met some other anice folks there. The gentleman said, "if you want decent meal other than a burger, don't order from here. Leave!" Drinks were warm. Not cold. Outdoor section was quite lovely. read more

Was in town and the menu looked good so made the trip over. The food was amazing and a few of the sandwiches seem to rotate weekly. It's good to see a brewery with a nice touch of culinary mixed in (compared to just reg burgers and pizza). Def will be a stop when back in town read more

First time here. After standing at the host Stand for a minute we needed to make our way to the bar to order. So the concept is unique. You can start a tab and order beer and drinks and grab a table until they page you. The Brussel sprouts would be 100% better if it wasn't goey and drowned in all the sauces. The sauce took all the crispness out of it. Fries were super crispy and are hand cut! Chicken sandwich also delicious! The gal that helped us did all the right things but without her breaking a smile once as if she hated being there our experience would have been more delightful. read more
