“Was visiting a friend in Greenwood and Googled “Greenwood Tenderloin”one of the highest rated was “Shallos Antique Restaurant “. It was on our way home, so we tried it. We loved the quick seating (with a huge Friday night crowd) and Billie was a wonderful server for first time visitors. The breaded tenderloin was exceptional and so was the ribeye sandwich. We will be returning.“

“Absolutely love the pumpkin pancakes so much, that I get them every visit! And summer the lemon blueberry. We ask for Layla every time, she knows what we drink and brings them before we ever ask. She jokes with my husband which he loves. She's funny, super sweet and such a great waitress. We've been coming here for a few months now, after leaving another pancake place, because of the food and service here. We bring all of out out of town guests here and upon a return visit this is where they want to come. Layla makes each visit the best part of our day!“
