While visiting the area we came here for dinner. We were immediately sat outside. Gabe was our server and was very attentive….I never ran out of Diet Coke :) I loved the wedge salad….so yummy. Great atmosphere. Everyone around seemed to enjoy this restaurant. I also loved how other servers helped each other and the hostesses were always clearing the tables. Highly recommend. Thanks for a great date night with my 7 year old.

My parter and I stayed at the Hyatt downtown and as a local beer lover, I saw this place was next door and had to pay a visit.

I have to shoutout Grayson, our server, for being so genuinely kind and making our experience all the better.

Though there aren’t many plant-based options on the menu, I was able to work with them to create a delicious vegan strawberry salad and vegetarian-friendly burrito.

If you don’t have room for food, you should definitely come by to enjoy the patio and have one of their homemade frozen drinks! And of course my favorite, the local beers from around South Carolina and some Sumter-specific brews as well.
The value of the food, drinks, and experience is well worth it.

I consistently have a pleasant casual dining experience at this restaurant. The food selection, service, and overall management are truly exceptional. The dry rub wings are undoubtedly the best I’ve had, and the other smoked meats are fantastic as well. There is a wide variety of delectable options that really enhance Sumter’s local dining scene.

One suggestion, though, is that they could benefit from more seating. It seems they’ve chosen not to utilize their adjacent indoor facility, which can lead to limited capacity. I’ve often seen people turned away due to this, so if you’re looking to enjoy the experience, I highly recommend arriving early—especially if you have elderly relatives who might struggle with standing or sitting outside for long periods. Overall, it's a great spot, and with a little planning, it can be even more enjoyable!

This place has a fantastic staff and some of the best food i have had in a very long time that i didn't cook myself! Side Bar is always one of my first picks for food in Sumter. Smoked everything for the BBQ lovers, and don't miss out on their Taco Tuesday menu! Pro tip: the Tuesday menu changes, so repeat business is strongly recommended.
