11 Best Southern Restaurants near Greenville

“Google reviews led me to this wonderful restaurant and I’m so grateful! We live in New Bern, but Mom had a Drs appointment at ECU Monday afternoon. We were hungry and wanting a good sit down meal before we drove back in the rain. It was super close to ECU, good parking, which was nice since it was raining lol! You walk in and are immediately faced with rows of their multi-layered decadent cakes, I can’t adequately describe what an OMG view those masterpieces are! Anyway, we were quickly seated, and I cannot say enough good things about Ella, our waitress! Mom and I ordered the flounder and shrimp. Absolutely delicious! And I have to say their tartar sauce was house made and totally on point! It had the perfect amount of dill. Our sides, everything was delicious! I brought home some slices of the Italian Cream and Reese’s chocolate cake, and Dear Lord…amazing! This is our go to restaurant when in Greenville, don’t hesitate to try, you really won’t be disappointed!!“

“Homage catered a birthday party for my mother and a friend 3 weeks ago and the experience could not have been better. The menu was creative and the food was excellent. Matt Cole and his team were professional, organized, thoughtful and followed through on every detail we’d planned.

The event was approx 160 people and everyone is still raving about the food and the service. I can’t recommend highly enough.“

“One of the best places I’ve been so far“

“Atmosphere, Food, Service and Music. It's a refuge in an ocean of fast and processed food restaurants.. The culture is evident and engaging in a warm and inviting way. Thomas McKinney“

“The manager (we think her name was Tracy) was the absolute best!! She brought my friends and I out samples, greeted us with the sweetest attitude and when my friend had an issue with her order, Tracy remade her whole meal correctly with no hesitation. Sweetest person ever!“

“We have visited this Biscuitville (1970 , S.E. Greenville Blvd.) numerous times. We always experience great service, good food and a friendly atmosphere. This morning, Kayla was very friendly and welcoming. Later she visited our table to make sure our meal was good. The food was excellent! Her smiling face made us feel special and appreciated.“

“Today was my first time trying this place, I did it in the new location in Greer, I must say that the service was 10/10, the staff was extremely friendly, attentive and agile. I had an ultimate bacon biscuit and it was also a 10/10 great flavor and the biscuit was soft and not dry. On the side I had country fries and they were delicious. I will definitely return to this place!!“

“Went to Cheddar’s today for the first time. We received a table we did not like, and asked to be moved. They were very accommodating and moved us. We ordered the Cajun chicken bowl, appetizer trio, and vegetable plate. We specified that we cannot consume any pork or beef due to alpha gal syndrome. We requested that all food be made without pork or beef. The entrees arrived before the appetizers and before the soup. The Cajun chicken bowl had large chunks of pork sausage which was not indicated on the menu. The baked potato soup also had bits of bacon even though we requested no bacon. The Cajun chicken bowl was replaced with the fish and chips which took over 25 minutes to get to our table. After all of this, the manager personally came to our table and offered to comp our entire meal due to the mishaps. He apologized to us and took responsibility for the mistakes. I was impressed by this and ultimately we had a good meal.“
