“We had a great experience having dinner and drinks this past week at UP. We met Duke, the manager, as he was jamming some KC and the Sunshine band vibes and got into a great conversation with him about the bar and how Greenville has thrived in recent years. Our server Mollie, was fantastic and provided us with great service and delicious food recommendations. The Carolina Trout is a must as it melted in my mouth. Our drinks were nice and we finished off the night with a tasty cinnamon swirl cheesecake. The food and ambiance were spot on. We ate inside but still loved walking out on the deck to enjoy the beautiful views. This was our last night visiting Greenville, which we loved, and was the perfect way to end our trip. Thank you Mollie, Duke, and everyone at UP!“

““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!“

“Meghan(Tyson) our server was AH mazing. We were in town visiting from Wilmington, NC for my husbands birthday. We came into the packed night spot only to end up sitting across from the men's bathroom. She noticed and made sure we had a seat up front to enjoy Chris Hunt, the performer. He was fanstaztic too. She was super attentive despite a full restaurant. She even made sure my husband had a birthday dessert complete with candle and birthday message on the plate. It made his birthday complete. Thanks Champ!💪🎂🎉“

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’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.“

“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.“

“Spoonbread did an amazing job catering to my needs for a post-proposal brunch. They did a great job serving us to whatever needs and accommodations we needed and the staff was extremely friendly. I will be going back as a regular breakfast and lunch attendee after such a wonderful experience.“

“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...“

“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 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 :)“

My husband also said the selection of bourbons was unbelievable. Next time we are in Greenville, SC we will definitely go back.“

“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“
