Cool place. Great staff. Not the greatest food. Our appetizer was good. My main meal was not bad. Great crab-cake, but dried out pan fried chicken and my wife’s shrimp and grits were served in a pool of oil.

Cork and ale was a welcoming bar, we had a glass of wine and a beer. We let the young man choose my glass of wine and he passed the test. We had a nice time and would definitely some back for more drinks and conversation. AAA. Quick mention and shout out for jack. The main man

Really neat experience. Good list of wines by the glass and great selection of bottles. Service was very good. The space is tight but cozy. We ordered the dip and charcuterie board and both were excellent. The pasta special, salad with salmon along with a panini were all very good. However, stay away from the chicken and mushroom flatbread. Looks like a dessert and covered with balsamic glaze. Not a good mix of ingredients.

Get out and see your country. Another great place to start is Waxham, South Carolina. You will learn about the Waxham native Americans and trade. Waxham is a small rural community with great things to do and see. I assure you, you and your family will love the trip.

Always a great place to hang out! Wine and beer selections are on point, food is top-notch. Stop by for live music in the back garden and say “Aloha” to Reed!

Cork and Ale in Waxhaw, perfect place to go with a friend or love one! Food was delicious and service was great. We sat at the courtyard and the ambience make us feel in another side of the world! Unique selection of wine and beer.

Went to cork and ale with a friend Wednesday night, arrived about 6 and it wasn’t crowded. It’s a small cozy place with a small-medium indoor space and small patio. Sat on the patio. Got the mushroom pasta special (which they split for us to share) and a mixed greens salad (also split to share) (so portion pictured of both is half. Everything was delicious. Also got a couple draft sours and my friend got a cocktail. Service was good. Will definitely be back.

Three weeks ago we found ourselves in Waxhaw at the recommendation of a patron at Kefi vineyards. He suggested the Cork & Ale so we decided to check it out. His suggestion was spot on. The food is delicious and prices are very reasonable.
