“This is place is a true jewel. One of the only BBQ joints within hundreds of miles that smokes meat right! No wood fired gas appliances in this restaurant! Only wish I have is to leave some of the tasty bark in your chopped pork, please. Also eastern style sauce should have some pepper seeds in it for that extra Pop..“

“This place has been here since I was a little girl!! The homemade cherry lemon Sundrop is great and the special bbq slaw is the best! They are a family owned business that has been here for years. If you’re a local you know. Thy are always nothing but nice and courteous, so I’m not sure why there are some bad reviews, it is definitely not a fancy place but the food is great!!“

“A little expensive but worth it is what I used to say but the latest experience was "OKish" at best. Fries was bland and a little burnt, minced BBQ sandwich was extremely soggy and thrown together without any thought of appearance with meat and slaw all over the top side of the bun. The cherry lemon sundrop tasted like carbonated lemon soda water with no cherries in it at all. The curb side service was depressing and lazy. Expects a tip but forgot the straws and ketchup and rolls her eyes when asked for that and 8 of the 14 dollars in change due back. What happened to this place?“

“Visiting Greenville recently, we had an excellent experience at Logan’s . It was Friday evening. We were seated quickly and they took initial drink and appetizer orders shortly after. They also provided a huge basket of delicious rolls. I gave the service 5stars because they stopped by frequently, but not enough to be intrusive. They took our order, and brought the check very timely, and refilled drinks without being asked. They did not offer information regarding the menu., but I did not deduct. The atmosphere was fine, no complaints, just typical steak house., similar to chain restaurants. During our trip it was relaxing and quiet. Parking and access were not an issue. The menu and food is very similar to Texas Roadhouse. Everyone’s meal was well prepared. At the TR in our area it tends to be somewhat hit or miss. The steak was truly med as requested, and the ribs were juicy and flavorful for me., although another person in our party was less impressed - not bad, but they might be on the bland side for some. The salad was unremarkable. So I did take one star off on food - very good, but not outstanding for all items. Could be 4.5. Also considering value, portions were good size, but the food prices were similar to TR in a higher cost area. There is a kids menu but I did not pay enough attention to comment on it. Based on our experience I definitely recommend Logan’s if you are looking for a no-hassles steak house meal with very good food and excellent service.“
