Food That Makes the Party

At Thompson Island, the food is just as important as the beer. Our private event menus are built for the way people like to gather — from elegant buffets and chef-driven entrées to casual taco bars, nacho bars, happy hour spreads, and dessert displays.

Guests can enjoy favorites like prime rib with horseradish cream, crab cakes with lemon-caper tartar, mac & cheese, pimento cheese grits, fresh salads, seasonal sides, and shareable appetizers designed for groups.

A variety of appetizers including sliced cured meats, cheeses, fresh strawberries, blackberries, cherry tomatoes, and a small bowl of vegetable salad on a wooden serving board.
