33 Best Southern Restaurants near Taylors

“The food was very good, I just wish they wouldn’t put drinks in brown paper bags. One was apparently leaking and the bag broke in my co-workers seat. Totally soaked her seat and of course I paid for a drink I didn’t get. Other than that it was good.“

“We eat there a lot. The food is excellent and the wait staff are are really great! The place is ALWAYS cold! Winter and Summer. We ask them to change it a little but by the time they do, you will be ready to leave!“

“Friendly staff and quality food. Would definitely recommend!“

“We recently enjoyed another exceptional meal at a Table 301-managed restaurant—this time, a delightful brunch at Sassafras. It has become abundantly clear that Table 301 has truly mastered the art of pairing outstanding cuisine with exemplary service. During our stay in Greenville, we unknowingly dined at three of their establishments, and each experience consistently exceeded expectations. In contrast, our visit to Juniper (operated by Auro Hotels) was markedly underwhelming. The atmosphere felt needlessly pretentious, the staff was insulting, and the food failed to impress on any level. Table 301's restaurants, by comparison, delivered superb quality, warm hospitality, and an overall dining experience that stands out in every way.“

“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“

“friendly owners and staff, clean environment, wonderful varied menu. convenient location. I would only suggest much less salt in the food. we can always what we want. we really enjoy this place and we go frequently!“

“Excellent hot chicken and sides. It paired well with a hazy ipa.“

“The food was deliciously good and the quality of customer service by our server, Steven was superb. First time experience and I would highly recommend to go. Next time imma have a reservation tho.“

“We have gone to Southhouse for years and will still. Everything has been great, however, yesterday afternoon, we had the poorest service ever. Waitresses need to know that they create public relations. Smile some and take time more. Usually such has been great, but not yesterday!“

“Great atmosphere and food.“

“Wonderful lunch from Tupelo Honey today. My first time here! The salad was so fresh and delicious. Service was excellent! Will definitely revisit soon!“

“Good food, friendly service, and nice dining area. I enjoy each time I have eaten there.“

“The restaurant sits directly off the highway not as I thought (tucked in a side road, more country). Having said that, we were there for breakfast 1) the place was spotless, clean! 2) food was good, right out of Grandma's kitchen 3) service was prompt and friendly.“

“Bailey was so very helpful and nice. The food was exceptional.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite to eat while visiting Greenville, SC and we were pleasantly surprised. Not only did all our food look amazing, it tasted amazing too!!!“

“I enjoyed eating here very much - our first night I wanted a little nosh; the pork belly and the she-crab soup hit the spot. The soup was flavorful and filled with crab - when I mentioned to the server I didn't taste much sherry she promptly went to the bar and brought back a shot to me. (Note to self - taste before adding the *entire* amount of sherry - I made it a bit too boozy, but that's my mistake.) The pork belly with coleslaw was phenomenal, so much so that I finished the leftovers for lunch the following day. Crisp and bursting with flavor, it went down a treat. (Maybe just a little less maple syrup, but my taste buds have been acting strangely lately so it could be just me.) Between Krista, my original server, and the two others who helped me, I was well taken care of indeed. The breakfast buffet is not huge, but everything is fresh and the area is spotless. I ordered a Belgian waffle off the menu and it was wonderful. (Maybe could have been a bit warmer to help the butter melt, but it was extremely yummy nonetheless.) The servers at breakfast are just as attentive and friendly as the evening staff. It's nothing fancy, but it's definitely a good value for the price.“

“The egg roll was SO good I had to come and make a review. Delicious!!“

“Ordered the Plain Jane salad and Cauliflower bites.

Salad was a good size for the price and came with plenty of dressing.

Cauliflower bites were buffalo flavored. Had good flavored but the texture was very soft and wished they had some crunch.

Overall the meal was good and worth the price.“

“Don’t get the NY Strip…stick to the burgers and sandwiches!“

“A great mom and pop cafe off the beatin’ path. They really make you feel welcome.“

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

“I am trying to open it up“

“Went here for our anniversary last night and it was so nice! I had the duck salad and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone was so friendly, sweet, and genuine. Service was great. Can’t say enough great things 💛“

“Have used Smokin Chips a couple of times. Never disappoints! Best BBQ in town! Delicious! Highly recommend!“

“The food tastes great and the atmosphere is so cozy!!! Only thing is I ordered the Hash Bowl with extra seasoning and over easy eggs. The eggs were more cooked than over easy, more like over hard and when i asked for extra seasoning, there was NO seasoning on my bowl :( also barely any goat cheese so sad
This is my second time ordering and the first time was perfect! Maybe someone new handled my order or they were too busy? But their food tastes great!! Would give them a try!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Southern Palate Catering. We used their services for our wedding in April 2022. Most of the compliments we received from the wedding were about the food! We worked with Denise, the chef and owner of Southern Palate. She always got back to me promptly and was always willing to meet with me face to face anytime I needed during the planning process. My husband and I always dreamed of having Mexican food at our wedding. Denise already had an option on the catering menu for Mexican stations and it was just what we were looking for! They homemake everything, even the tortilla chips (which were amazing), and were able to accommodate my gluten allergy with anything I wanted. Denise made sure all of her employees knew I was gluten free and they served me and my husband the whole night so that we didn’t have to worry about taking the time to get our own food. They even packed us a to go box full of every food item at the wedding so that we were able to eat at our hotel after. They took all the stress off of us on our special day and I can’t thank them enough. I highly recommend using them for any event and I will definitely be using them for any catering needs in the future.“

“This was my first visit and it was outstanding! The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. The food is absolutely delicious with outrageous chicken biscuits, waffles & tenders, biscuits with gravy, and the hashbrowns were unbelievable! Not to mention, they fresh squeeze orange juice to order and please the fruit tea punch, perfect for a humid morning. Most definitely coming back!“

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

“Atmosphere, food, cocktails, service is outstanding! My new favorite place!!!“

“You can't beat O. J.'s for good down-home cooking. Yesterday I ate at the Greenville location. It and the Easley location are basically the same, The daily menu specials may vary somewhat, but both always offer the basics: fried or baked chicken, green beans, mac 'n cheese, rice and gravy or mashed potatoes, some kind of dried beans, salads, roll or cornbread, and desserts. The Greenville location's dining area is not separated from the buffet like it is in Easley, so it seems less roomy, noisier, and not as private. Service is excellent at each location. These two restaurants are owned and operated by really nice people. I highly recommend either one if you're looking for Southern cooking.“

“Wells Fargo called me this morning telling me that chicken salad chick had my Wallet with my credit cards and money. I was so grateful that they found it and returned it. I would recommend them for their amazing food but also for their amazing people who are honest and made my life a lot easier!“

“I moved recently and the food in my new city is bad. All I can think about is this restaurant. Everything is good here“

“Service is very good food is good and reasonable pritness are very nice very good place to go“
