Ward's Grill is located on Main Street, in downtown Saluda; it is connected to Thompson's Store, which is the oldest grocery store in North Carolina. Breakfast and lunch are served daily from 7-3. May - October, the diner is open on Sundays 11-4. This is a 50's style diner, serving homemade desserts, milkshakes, and standard diner fare. They are famous for their CJ burger, which is a mixture of beef and "Charlie's sage sausage." Definitely stop in, especially if you are visiting the Gorge Zipline, or Green River Adventures in Saluda. This is where the locals eat!
