“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!“

“Alice H was an absolute treat! My brother was visiting from the UK and she made sure the night was fun and memorable for him! One of the best servers I’ve experienced in a long time at a lot of establishments. I will say I enjoy every time I visit, however I wish it was more budget friendly for the games!“

“Great vibe, great people. Smiley’s on the Roxx has an awesome atmosphere where you can actually relax, have a drink, and enjoy yourself. The owners are hands-on, friendly, and genuinely care about the place and the people who come through the door. You can feel it the moment you walk in. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“This is located at Gather Greenville - where there is outdoor seating and multiple food and alcohol options-
The guys working were friendly - the food was hot and was done quickly! My friend got veggies and cheese on a toasted Kaiser roll and I got a Philly cheesesteak. both came with pub fries which were hot and crispy. Will definitely come back again!“

The service was great and it was clean. We will definitely come back and I highly recommend. I didn't have a cocktail but I read the menu - they sounded delicious. I'll have to try something next time.“

Also a great place for a casual breakfast/lunch anytime!“

“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“

“Great Owners ! Love them to death“

“The restaurant was busy during our visit, but the team handled the crowd impressively well. Food came out hot, drinks stayed filled, and the service never felt rushed. The energy of the place added to the experience rather than taking away from it.“

“Sunday our group had 12 people...the hostess was wonderful and with the busy day still had us seated within 10 minutes! Kelli was our waitress and she was FABULOUS!! She knew what she was doing and we never had to wait for anything!!! Such a great experience Gals!!!! Thank you from Jones Hill Church of God!!!!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Surf and Turf was excellent!“

“We loved the warm and welcoming atmosphere at Everything Egg roll! The menu had lots of great options w/ daily specials. Our order absolutely exceeded expectations! My date cleared his plate !w/ no crumbs left behind.. Highly recommend..10/10 !!! Look forward to coming back soon ..Thank you Everything Egg Rolls!“

“Just had a tremendous experience today in your restaurant. From my first conversation with Mikehl making our reservation to Joelle’s attention to detail serving us. This was our 19th anniversary and we couldn’t have selected a better place. Thanks again.“

“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.“

“Since moving to this side of town We make a weekly visit to the Clock on Congaree. Super good food even better service. Our family favorites are smothered chicken, baby club, chilli cheese burger and their ranch is made in house and we could eat it on everything.. Very quick from ordering to pickup and always fresh and tasty. See for yourself. You will feel like family has cooked for you!“

“Great food and atmosphere! We came on Saturday evening and it was packed but they were getting orders out quick and turning over tables efficiently. We only waited for about 5-10 minutes and we had no reservation. Keep up the great work! We will definitely come back.“

“We just had the best experience with Ashley as our server! She was super friendly, fun, and knowledgeable of the menu. She recommended a delicious appetizer and entrees for us and everything was fantastic. We’ll definitely be back and would love to have Ashley as our server again because she’s super attentive and you can tell she’s happy and loves taking care of her customers!“

“Appetizer Fried Pickles Entree Fish and Chips with Tots Very Delicious and the service was excellent Recommend to ask for Dom. Excellent service Thanks Spanky“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Jacs during my jury duty, and it quickly became my go-to lunch spot for the entire week. Fast forward almost a year, and I finally got the chance to revisit. I’m thrilled to say that it’s just as fantastic as I remembered!

The atmosphere at Jacs is welcoming, and the service is always top-notch. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. The food never disappoints either; I had the croissant club sandwich this time, and it was absolutely delicious.

Overall, Jacs provides a wonderful dining experience that I wholeheartedly recommend. Definitely a 10 out of 10!“

“OUTSTANDING meals !!!!!! I will be back“

“We were so excited to have a Culver's open closer to our house! This is our family's go-to fast food option for burgers. The food is almost always top notch and is completely reasonable when you have five people dining. Obviously, the best part is the incredible custard options for dessert. They have a gluten-free bun available, which I greatly appreciate as someone with a sensitivity. It isn't the greatest bun - generally falls apart before I can finish my burger - but at least it isn't as dry and cardboard like the gf bun from CFA. The only downsides to this location we've noticed are the soda machines seem to be incorrectly calibrated so that the drinks are all very watered down tasting. We thought this was a new store mistake at first, but it has persisted the entire time they've been open. Secondly, they always have the ketchup dispensers and cups incorrectly inserted so it's very difficult to get a cup and nearly impossible to get the ketchup to dispense. These three issues should be easy to fix and I am not sure why the management hasn't yet addressed them. The final issue is more often than I think should happen we have accuracy issues with our orders. I understand we are ordering a lot of food because we are 5 people and we have some complicated orders, but we can only do so much when the order on the screen reflects what we have said but the food on the tray does not. Again, overall, I feel like Culver's is a top notch destination for both quality food and excellent service, and I think with attention to some of these smaller issues, the store would be a top performer! We will continue to check in often for their progress!“
