    Article on the new owners
    Annie R.

    This place is soooo good! Something to note if you read other reviews...new owners took over in 2022. I got a cheeseburger with bacon and a side of their bacon jelly and lemme tell ya, 10/10 would recommend. The bacon jelly was so dang good!!! Everything was super fresh and the staff is really nice. This restaurant has been here since the 60s and new owners bought it and it is really a must visit if you're in the area - plus its connected to an adorable local store (which I of course went in an got some local honey and berry syrup). Check out the article picture I posted to read the history of the place. They serve breakfast and lunch you won't want to miss.

    Love this!

    Food was outstanding, best patty melt I have had in awhile. Gives you that small town old dinner... service was on spot. Will come again!

    Grill has been part of Saluda for many years. Had lunch there. We had the Ward's 50/50 Burger, nice flavor, not greasy comes with a side, lettuce, tomato & pickle slices. Hours- open until 3pm. Serves breakfast too. It is adjacent to the Thompson's grocery store. Worth checking out.

    I loved the vibe and old world charm of the place. My kids both had regular cheeseburgers and I had a bacon cheeseburger with hot pimento. It was huge! My only complaint is that all 3 of our burgers were pretty pink and cool in the middle. I like my burgers to be DONE. It would have been nice to have been asked ahead of time how we'd like them cooked. The ranch seemed like it was made in house and had a lot of dill, it was different but tasty. Fries were incredibly greasy and not done enough for us either. Overall though, was a good experience even though the food wasn't cooked to our preference.

    Yummy home cooked breakfast!

    This was my favorite place to eat in Saluda! I first saw it while we were grocery shopping at Thompson's but they were already closed for the day. I made it a point to tell my hubs I'd like to come back. I then got it confused with the other cafe in town :( Finally we made it back once I figured out it was beside the grocery and NOT the general store! Ward's has great fresh brewed tea which is always important to me. Simple, good country cooking. I had grits and liver mush (a favorite NC offering and something they don't even sell in FL.!) I was surprised at the great price! We both had full breakfasts and were out with good tip for under $20! The service was great and all the staff nice. I also learned what a "rattler/ rattlerette" were when I visited the facilities! We will definitely return the next visit!

    Diners like they should be!

    Really good food and very reasonably priced! Perfect place for an easy low key lunch after looking at the neighboring galleries and stores!

    Great burger, fries and shake. The staff is friendly and courteous. We made sure to return to Ward's again this year on vacation.

    A cool, old-fashioned diner style restaurant. The store next door is quaint, as well.

    We've lived in Flat Rock for almost 10 years, and somehow this was our first time trying Highland…read moreLake Inn & Resort. Honestly, I think I had it completely wrong in my head--I always assumed it was more of a "pretentious" spot, and that couldn't have been further from the truth. Since we live right down the road, we finally decided to stop in and give it a try--and I'm so glad we did. It's spring right now, and the walk up was absolutely beautiful. The azaleas were in full bloom and completely lining the entrance, which made for such a welcoming first impression. Inside, it felt cozy and relaxed, with a lot of fun, interesting artwork throughout. It immediately felt more approachable than I expected. Our server was the sweetest--true Southern hospitality. I wish I could remember her name because she really added to the experience. We started with Japanese whiskey and ended up chatting with the table next to us, who told us they make a point to come here every time they're in town--which says a lot. When we ordered, I was honestly surprised by how reasonable the prices were for this area. We split the Ribeye Gaucho and the Monte Cristo, and both were delicious. Overall, it was such a pleasant surprise from start to finish. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to.

    Mother's Day was so enjoyable at Seasons today. The food was superb, our waitress delightful and…read morethe music made it the perfect experience! Thanks to everyone responsible, especially the Grups.
