Have been several times, and it exceeds our expectations every time we go. Brandon and crew do a fantastic job all around.Vegetarian options: Ask for the vegetarian meal, we get it every time. It always changes and it’s always delicious.Kid-friendliness: You’ll find something the kiddos can eat, and our 5 year old felt at home.
Hands down the best in Greenville. If you travel, you will know this place is one of the best anywhere. We go for casual cocktails and for special occasions, the staff are always on point with their timing and service. If you're wise, you'll grab a seat outside by the fire and find just the perfect setting for a night out. Ford and Shep is one of the best things about living in Greenville.

Truly spectacular experience on our first visit to Greenville. We loved the atmosphere, the service was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks were spectacular! I had a French 75, my husband had a martini, and both were fantastic. We shared several small plates, and each one that came out was better than the one before. The brussels sprouts were just the right amount of crispy with a little kick, the baked brie and crab toast were incredible, and the tuna was out of this world, seared perfectly--even the kimchi was amazing. We don't live in Greenville, but we're already planning a trip back to try some of the menu we didn't get a chance to sample on this visit. Definitely don't miss Ford & Shep when you're in Greenville!

Everything that I had was delicious! I must say that the star of the show for me was the ribeye. It was perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and a perfect size to be able to have leftovers the next day. They definitely give a hefty portion! Had fingerling potatoes with mine and a garlic aioli that was the bomb! I love that they change their menu fairly often and will definitely be back to try out new things that they put on the menu! Overall great service, great food, mellow atmosphere! You should check it out if you get the chance!
Upscale cocktails and dinner. Be sure to make reservation if you're going on the weekend. Best espresso martini in the county.

One of the finer dining experiences in Greenville. Good food, great cocktails, and really nice ambiance. The espresso martini is a must try! It would be nice if they extended the bar hours till 12am on weekends so that folks that don't want dive bar beers have an option in this part of town.

Atmosphere is great. Service was prompt. We got up and left however after seeing the sparse over-descriptive menu and the very high prices. Gave the food a one star as we never got to try it.Advice: lower the menu flair, increase the menu choices and lower the price by about 50%. They also do not offer menus at the table. Just a card with a QR code to pull the menu up on your phone. That’s annoying.

Great food & staff, the menus are constantly changing so I always love to check out their website early to decide about what I'm getting that night. Some favs of mine are the Tuna Tartare & Brussel Sprouts! Can't go wrong with their recommendations too.
An elevated experience in food, service, and atmosphere. Truly an unique experience in Greenville...so many others try, F&S succeed.

From the service to the atmosphere Ford+Shep is a great restaurant in the downtown area of Greenville. But let me speak about the food. I was able to enjoy the bison bacon meatballs with an exquisite pesto sauce. My dining companions both had fantastic meals as well. Pork chop marinated in sweet tea and the melon salad with added grilled shrimp really made the meal perfect for all. Oh I almost forgot. We started off the meal with their cheese board. All of the samplings were amazing. If you were visiting from out of town like myself this is definitely a must-stop.

Went here for wife's bday 8/2. Dined inside and it was loud, couldn't carry on a conversation without talking very loud. Food was tasty but paella was soupy and dripped on my shirt. Ordered a malbec by the glass and it was tasteless like it had been open for days. Our server replaced it without issue. This was the 3rd time we dined here and not up to previous two times.

Great find after moving to Raleigh 5 years ago, right around the time this place opened. Came back over here for work and couldn’t have had a better meal. Highly recommended!

Wow. Just wow. Beautiful, delicious food. Happy surroundings. Kind and competent staff. There's really not much more I could ask for. I tried the tuna tartare app and the cast iron seared red drum, and both were fantastic. My Negroni was top-notch, and the Grüner Veltliner I ordered in error (my bad!) was kindly replaced with a wine that worked better. Such a pleasant surprise on my visit to Greenville.
