“Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience with Donald Linicoln, who is a client of mine.

““The cracklin chicken thigh was the best chicken I ever ate in my life. It was so juicy. I loved the meat. I didn’t love the skin. This is a 5 star review.” Axel Allison, age 9“

“I had the most wonderful experience on April 30, 2023 at The Loft at Soby’s! I highly recommend the Chef’s tasting dinner and I understand they have some upcoming dates available. The menu was 6 courses, but actually there were about 8 or 9 fabulous courses served. The wines chosen by the sommelier were perfect, including a great champagne and a lovely port. This special dinner at The Loft at Soby’s will remain at the very top of my memories and no one is better at making special memories than Soby’s!“

“We went to the Cracker Barrel in Greenville, SC and the meals and the service were great.“

“Love the people, the food, and the place“

“I recommend group therapy but the one staff lady today definitely made me and my family uncomfortable with her attitude and disposition. We made a spill and she responded with an attitude. Throwing the mop around repositioning the table being aggressive with everything.“

“Amazing service, the special touches are evident all around. The food is delicious and the plating is beautiful. Always a special treat to eat at Eastside“

“The staff was very helpful. The food wonderful and plentiful. The prices great.Today was my first visit. Will tell all my friends. Plan to return when chicken n dumplings are on the menu.“

“Amazing, fresh and friendly! You must stop by if in Greenville.“

“While staying at the Westin Poinset as a large group for work, we mustered here each morning for breakfast. We all have status with Bonvoy and got free breakfast here each morning, which was actually pretty good!
The service was helpful and friendly. They also have a decent breakfast buffet which had fresh and tasty items on it. I did order from the menu one morning and it was decent, but my omelette was slightly over-cooked (I don’t like brown on my eggs).

The venue is beautiful and a great place to start the day. It’s a great deal for free! But if I had to pay for breakfast, I’d“

“Best food and service that I’ve had in a long time!!“

“I stopped at Culver’s on the way home Thursday 2/22/2024. Thankful for the team of young people that provided friendly service and a delicious snack! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Have a great weekend!“

“We had dinner at Augusta Grill Saturday. it. It was amazing. My husband had the swordfish and I ate salmon. The chocolate cake is a must have.“

“Cabbage and cornbread are phenomenal! Excellent food and service.“

“I have been dining at The Big Clock for 18 years and it is the most consistently good restaurant around. The wait staff is always friendly and professional, the food is always top notch, and the owners are the nicest most hard working folks you will ever meet.“

“Surf and Turf was excellent!“

“Absolutely love this clock! They have the most polite and amazing staff! The food is always 10/10. I really just wanted to brag about the staff! They really are the sweetest and i can’t say how many times I’ve left the drive thru with either a giggle or a smile on my face after having a really rough day! I am a frequent flyer there and they always seem to be in a great mood and just all around happy! Thank you for always being so funny and sweet it really does make a difference🩷“

“I have lived in downtown Greenville for almost a year now. I’m a 10 minute walk from all-things downtown Greenville, and there isn’t a social location I haven’t investigated. The ‘West End’ of Greenville is maybe a little slower than ‘North Main’, but it has a hidden gem of entertainment. That hidden gem is ‘Smileys on the rocks’. It’s the only venue that offers live local music, live band karaoke and the top local musical talent that Greenville has to offer.

If you’re a local resident of the Greenville County area, or if you’re on vacation and you love some great live music that is also blended with a warm socially friendly vibe. Stop into ‘Smileys’, as it’s affectionately referred to. You won’t be disappointed! You’re probably going to run into Allee (Al-ee) bartending, who always greets you with a warm smile.

You won’t find another local bar that offers amazing live music every Saturday from noon until 1 a.m anywhere else in downtown. So, come experience the true heart of Greenville music with great staff, delicious food options and friendly people

P.S. If you see one star reviews by people with no explanations, just know ‘they’ were the problem…. It’s genetics, not bad business practices 😏“

“I’ve never been to New Jersey before but the Big Ringkowski makes the best New Jersey sandwich. Order the Forgetaboutit, It is the best sandwich I’ve had since moving here four years ago. The sandwich was hot (temperature) that you had to blow on it. The service provided by Dan was just super. I found my go to sandwich in downtown Greenville.“

“AI looked at the Buffalo Chicken Salsd and the French Toast. I was disappointed to find the French Toadt had a Caramel like icing instead of maple syrup. I chose the salad and was not disappointed. Three nicely cooked and Buffalo sauce coated chicken tenders over chopped greens with thinly sliced carrots and blue cheese and tossed with blue cheese dressing! I was not disappointed!“

“My family and I have been coming to this California Dreaming for years. We love it! And I love the fact that they give $5 coupons for teachers and you can use it every time you go. The staff and management and the people who greet you are fantastic. Our favorite spot to go! Consistently great food and service. Highly recommend :)“

“great food great staff great small business. this is what we need more of.“

“Our server was pleasing. However, the service seemed slow from the start, even when the restaurant had just opened and was not crowded. I'm glad we had a 5 pm reservation prior to a 7 pm show. The menu was quite limited. Had hoped for the charcuterie board for sharing, but that was not an option. Personally, I would recommend trying other nearby restaurants prior to a show.“

“Nick is the nicest person you'll ever meet, I've been going to the Carolina since I was a kid in the 70's, I miss the old building, but that's because I ate there for ever, but the new place is very nice with the nicest staff and like I said Nick talks to everyone, makes you feel like family...“

“1st time eating at Culver's but won't be my last! it was great! We were in the area doing free roof inspections for folks and took the opportunity to try it! - John with Fraser Roofing 864-542-7329“

“The eggrolls are absolutely delicious! Tot and Teka and staff are always very professional and very friendly. I highly recommend Everything Roll for your dining and catering needs, you will not be disappointed.“

“Great experience. This was our first visit and Samantha was our server and did an excellent job. She was very attentive and personable. The food came out quickly and we loved it, no complaints. We will definitely be returning.“

“Our first visit to Pete's on Poinsett and it won't be the last. There are quite a few comments posted about a 20 minute for the food. Personally, I prefer fresh cooked, which this was, and don't mind waiting for it. The food was delicious and prices are reasonable. We will be going back to try other menu items because the options are many. Great family diner with good food and affordable prices.“

“We finished a five day trip to Greenville by having dinner at Soby's. It was packed on a Friday night serving up their "reimagined" Southern Fare. Ordinarily, I would dive in and tell you about all the great food, instead I want to give props to the two line cooks working the Grill and Sautée stations in the kitchen. Our table on the second level looked right down the back (cooking) line. If you've watched The Bear television series you get to see a dramatized version of how a commercial kitchen operates. At Soby's we saw these two guys in action. A nine-steak order at four different temps, no problem. They mowed through an average of 9-10 tickets on the "rail" all night with God knows how many orders per ticket. Great job. Great job indeed! We started our dinner with the Mussles Mariniere sautéed in a bacon, leeks, Manzanilla sherry, cream. So good. I wish the chef would serve four pieces of toast with the dish so you could soak up more of the sauce. I had to try the She Crab Soup, as it is one of my favorites, and Soby's version with aged sherry bowled me over. For our entrees, our server suggested a combination of half portions of their Shrimp and Grits and Crab Cakes. Apparently my wife is not the only one who couldn't decide between the two, and thus a special was born. The crab cakes had a sweet corn maque choux and were served with haricots verts and a mashed potatoes, remoulade. From words on a menu to executed perfection it was a perfect blend of flavors. The shrimp and grits were good, not the best we have ever had, but again perfectly prepared. My entrée was the Braised Beef Short Rib served with mashed potatoes and a Black Garlic Molasses Jus. I watched my dudes on the line make over 20 of these before mine arrived at the table. Fork-tender, the meat had a great depth of flavor from its long journey of preparation. I ate every bite, OK except for the payback bites to my wife for sampling her special. We finished dinner with a piece of their Limoncello Cheese cake followed espressos and Ameretto. Our waitress was perfect all evening. She had a very busy section, but kept the coursing of dinner moving in a relaxed pace. We never felt rushed. Before I end, a word about wine at Soby's. When you arrive at the table, you are given a wine tome. Not a sheet of paper or a wine list you are used to seeing in most establishments. This was a tomb, bound in a metal cover. Soby's owner is a vinophile and has amassed over 2500 wines on the list, that is always changing as choices are enjoyed and more added. It really is quite a stunning list. So get you some Soby's if you're in town. It was a wonderful experience. You too can enjoy food bliss“

“My favorite place to eat burgers because of its amazing combinations and unique flavors.“

“I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet; the food was delicious and the service was quick.“

“Are at Bohemian Bull on April 19 2024, the service and food were excellent. Our server Caitlyn checked in with us several times even though they were very busy, she was great. My husband also said the selection of bourbons was unbelievable. Next time we are in Greenville, SC we will definitely go back.“

“As soon as i walked through the door, i was welcomed by the amazing front of house staff. They were patient while we picked our seats and food. CARSON WAS AMAZING. She recommended drinks that were so delicious and made sure to check on us consistently and made sure our visit was top tier!“

“I tried the Classic Philly cheese steak, with provolone cheese. Fries for a side. The cheese steak was tasty and had plenty of steak, peppers, and onions. I'd definitely order it again. There's plenty of seating as it's part of a food hall establishment. Along with a burger place and tap room. Outside seating available too.“

“Great Southern food! Finally a place we can go to eat REAL food ... not the "foodie" cuisine. Took us awhile to discover this place but now we go once a week!

Menu changes daily, but in minor ways.

Great veggies, delicious desserts, chicken -so many different way, chicken livers yum, ham, etc.

Love this place!!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!“

“We attended the under the sea breakfast event with Ariel and Prince Eric and it was phenomenal! The staff at Eggs up grill and the characters were so friendly and fun to interact with. The food was delicious! The manager was very present and active in the dining room. Overall a great dining experience! We drove from Boiling Springs specifically for this experience and would make the trip again!“

“Great Owners ! Love them to death“

“Wonderful meal on Valentines Day. Excellent service and atmosphere!“

“I tried Jac through DoorDash delivery. The food was very delicious. They also secured the food where it could not be tampered with which is awesome. DoorDash did a awesome job delivering it and it was still hot and DoorDash secured it in a hot bag as well.“

“Phenomenal food, and great service!! Gavin was our server, and provided excellent recommendations for libations, food, and local activities! The short ribs literally melted in my mouth, and the duck was so flavorful! I can’t wait to return, and I’m sad I have to wait until our next trip!!“

“My husband and I absolutely love The Big Clock of Powdersville. We eat here almost once a week. The staff is very friendly and efficient and the food that we've had is very good. Love the baby flounder on the meat and 3 menu. They have quesadillas on their sandwich menu that are some of the best quesadillas anywhere! Wish they were on the appetizer menu. Great fries and onion rings too. Their side salad is betty good too. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Love the place!“

“Outstanding meal & service. Even though the crescent-loving crowd had gobbled them all up, the kitchen quickly responded and hot fresh honey-butter croissants were served! Only the bartender lady was less than top-shelf hospitality. Still a great experience. Steak-shrimp and Flounder-shrimp meals. Excellent salads with J Peters signature bacon/honey mustard dressing“

“Authentic, well put together Greek menu, prepared perfectly. Food is delicious! The entire staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. They had imported wine from Crete which made my family extra happy,some of them being from Crete. Fantastic dining experience, excellent quality food and service. Highly recommended“

“amazing food. amazing staff.“
