Dine on Sophisticated Southern Dishes

At UP on the Roof, we’ve created our latest menu of Southern small plates using the best locally-sourced ingredients available. In our humble opinion, everything on our menu tastes even better when you’re dining outdoors! Check out a few of our favorites below:

From the Farm

Grilled Chicken + Strawberry Salad: Nothing screams warm weather like a fresh salad with in-season strawberries! In addition, we top this salad with goat cheese, pine nuts, and a strawberry vinaigrette.

From the Sea

Chilled Crab Stack: Best enjoyed on a warm afternoon, this cool tower contains mild watercress, seaweed salad, and delicious crabmeat, all topped with a tangy citrus-avocado dressing.

From the Ranch

Prime Rooftop Burger: On a beautiful day, you can’t go wrong ordering this fan favorite. We give our burger a unique twist by topping it with pimento cheese, bacon and onion jam, and an herb aioli. Even if you’re a vegetarian, you can still savor this sandwich by swapping the beef for our “beyond burger” and omitting the bacon jam. And we always recommend adding fries to your meal, because fries. Plus, they taste amazing dipped in the aioli!

Raise Your Glass, Bottle, or Can at UP on the Roof

Quench your thirst on a warm South Carolina day with a cool drink in your hand. Our seasonally inspired cocktails all contain fresh-squeezed juices and other refreshing ingredients.

Try one of our Soaring Bottle Cocktails, like the Reedy Peach. Named after the Reedy River, which you can see from our rooftop patio, this libation combines peach and cucumber vodkas, tonic syrup, mint simple syrup, and lavender bitters in a glass bottle perfect for sipping.

Or perhaps you’d prefer one of our Elevated Classics. Lean into the theme of our rooftop setting by ordering the Up in the Air, a delightful vodka-based cocktail made with St. Germain, lemon juice, blackberry simple syrup, and mint.

As for wine and beer, we’ve carefully curated our worldly wine list and collection of local and regional beers. Try a unique white blend like Upshot by Rodney Strong Vineyards or ask us what our tap or canned offerings are today!
