10 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!!“

“This place is absolutely charming. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about their customers, and the attention to detail throughout the restaurant is impressive.

My wife and I have been here several times, and we always leave happy with our experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service has consistently been excellent.

The cocktails were a standout, especially the Old Fashioned—it was one of the best I’ve had. The seafood was also delicious and well prepared.

The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because I felt the meats were cooked a little longer than I prefer and were slightly under-seasoned. That said, it wasn’t enough to keep us from coming back.

Overall, this is a wonderful restaurant with great service, a beautiful atmosphere, and excellent drinks. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.“

“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“

“Amazing food! First time trying, & the staff was incredible, helping us decide & walking us thru the process. The food was phenomenal. We split a piece of cake with my sister's, & I had to resist the urge to eat it all & leave them no cake! It was super clean, the atmosphere was lovely and calm, and the staff is the best part. Definitely give them a try!“

“"EXCELLENT SERVICE by SONYA M. ". Delicious Food. Really enjoyed the service and the meal. Thank you Sonya, for making our day even so relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you, Jerry and Cathy Bass from Kinston, N C.“

“My sister and I just went through the drive thru and whoever the young lady is working the drive thru needs to check her attitude. She was rude when we ordered our food and when we got to the window, she didn't say one word to us. She just took our money and handed us our food. If you are that pissed, stay home!! Leave the attitude at the door!!“

“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!!“

“The food was delicious but there were so many loud, large parties that it just ruined the dining experience. In addition, the smell of the carpet: UGH! It was like stale corn & urine! 🤢 That led to our decision to bag our food up & leave.“

“This hidden little gem exceeded our expectations. Everyone was so friendly and eager to help us. The choices on the menu were so appealing; therefore, it was difficult to decide on my meal. My husband chose the Philly cheesesteak; and I chose the shrimp plate. I am very particular about coleslaw so the lady at the register allowed me to taste it before I ordered (I was impressed).
Our food was served hot and quickly.
Thank you for an excellent dining experience. We will definitely return again (and again).“
