On Tuesday, my coworker and I set off to explore downtown Greer, and we stumbled upon an amazing gem! When we asked two friendly ladies for dining recommendations, they couldn’t stop raving about Crate. Their enthusiastic descriptions had us hooked, so we decided to give it a shot, and boy, are we glad we did!
As soon as we entered, we were greeted warmly by the owner and their family, making us feel right at home. After diving into the menu and hearing about the mouthwatering specials, we couldn’t resist ordering the oxtails and grits, paired with a side of greens. And let me tell you, we were absolutely blown away! The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were simply out of this world. The oxtails were so tender they practically melted off the bone, and those blue grits—oh my goodness—were worth the two hours they advised it took to prepare. They were nothing short of divine!
My coworker also decided to order a strawberry salad topped with salmon home for lunch the next day. The staff were incredibly thoughtful, carefully separating all the ingredients to keep her salad fresh and crisp. That little touch made all the difference!
The whole experience was filled with delightful service, and we had a fantastic time chatting with everyone at the establishment. The food was exceptional, and I enthusiastically recommend that anyone within an hour’s drive make a beeline for Crate if they appreciate amazing cuisine!
A huge thank you to Crate for an unforgettable meal! I can't wait to return and indulge in more of your culinary delights!

Was going to meet a group of ladies for dinner tonight we showed up at 5:20 and was told they were closed because the bartender was out sick? That makes no sense??? So confused we all went to select restaurant the street. At 8:40 as we left select we walked by to see an empty restaurant with 2 people sitting at the end of the bar drinking on their phones. We assumed they were the staff. The door was propped wide open cold air blowing into the street. We all commented this place won't be open long running a business like this?? What a joke! Hmmm wonder if the owner is even aware what is going on?

A wonderful place to take your loved 14 anniversary or birthday. Food is high quality made fresh and delicious. Best thing is the wednesday night karaoke. All I can say is the chef There knows what he is doing and deserves rase.

We went in late night on karaoke night, and were so impressed, we have a biweekly visit planned. This place is the whole vibe!
The DJ saw me hovering outside through the window and called me in to sing. From there, the experience just got better the longer we stayed.
We were greeted and warmly welcomed by the staff, the patrons, even the owner. We felt so welcome and at home that we wanted to stay! The DJ kept everyone singing and mixed during breaks in singers. The staff was attentive and kind, and the energy was laid back, personal and hella cool.
Thank you to everyone there tonight for being so genuine and fun!

We walked in on Valentines day and the hostess didn't know (and seemed upset) that we had a reservation. We were seated at a dirty table and had to ask them to wipe it off. We waited 10mins for someone to ask us what we wanted to drink. We had to ask for a menu 5 mins later when the 2nd waitress asked if we wanted something to drink. When we told her we had already told the other waitress, she didn't believe us. We stayed there 30-40 mins ordered drinks and they never arrived. We ended up leaving when we saw the waitress searching the clean glasses that just came out the back. When we saw her hold them to the light and go through about 6 glasses we decided to just enjoy our valentines day with wingstop and ice cream at home.

The food, service and atmosphere is awesome. Seriously, this place is a gem. We tried 4 different drinks and the we're all amazing. The food was top notch. Kudos to the chef! We had lobster sliders, crawfish egg rolls and crab cakes. Each one was the bomb but especially the crawfish egg rolls. I'm going to crave those. Our bartender, Embrey, was a lot of fun. 5 stars PLUS.

So disappointed in this place. First of all, the website says happy hour is 4-6pm, and they don’t even open until 5. We arrived at 4:40 and were told they were closed. We took a walk until they opened at 5. We were barely greeted by the one staff member working, and then were informed that the kitchen was not open. (15 mins after they opened…) We decided to grab a drink anyways and I was surprised that a place that calls themselves a Wine Bar had their wines labeled as only “Red or White”. (No description like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay Etc.) No water was brought to our table and my wine glass was dirty and had pieces of cork floating in it. Again, super disappointing as this place has potential but they really need to step it up in the hospitality department. Hoping they can get it together as it is a really cool space. If you’re looking to grab some good food and cocktails in Greer, head to Select instead.

This afternoon we walked into the restaurant for happy hour and we were barely greeted. On their website it says happy hour 4-6 but turns out they open at 5 and happy hour is 5-7. We sat down along with another table and the staff was extremely inattentive as well as our table was sticky. Staff was walking around with AirPods in. The table next to us collected their own silverware! After a few minutes we ordered drink after looking over the wine selection which is poorly labeled and I settled with a “new-fashioned” which has some simple syrup in it but it was all syrup and I couldn’t even taste whisky just all sugar. I took about two sips and gave up. The hostess came up and told us there was no kitchen staff! The restaurant has been open for almost an hour already. Again Greer disappoints. Save your money and go to Select.
Food and services were exceptional. Owner is beautiful and has a beautiful soul

I hosted a holiday party at Crate last night with about 30 ladies and it was absolutely PERFECT! I cannot recommend them enough. I had worked with the manager, Serenity, for several weeks during the planning stage and she was incredible. I plan many events as a group coordinator and can tell you, she is extremely easy to work with and excellent in her craft. Everything from the food, cocktails, service, atmosphere was stellar! We plan to have our holiday party at Crate annually. Thank you Serenity and team!
