32 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!“

“We made the reservation relatively last minute. We were seated at the high top large booth in the bar area. It was very comfortable and not too loud. Our server was excellent as was the food. We had the special she crab soup. We also had scallops and also mahi with crab. Both entrées were delicious. Complementary dessert for my birthday. It was Keylime pie and it was very good. Very reasonable prices for the area. “

“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 atmosphere and food.“

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

“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!“

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

“Awesome food. I asked for Meatloaf and the owner placed it on the menu the next week. Great food and customer service. I wish they were open every day for supper.“

“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.“

“good environment great service friendly staff great food reasonable prices“

“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.“

“The ribs here are insanely delicious. I had the dry rub as recommended by Kimberly, who was incredible to us. She had great recommendations for food and beer and was very hard working and attentive to all the customers including us. I have not been in town in a few years and never went to Sticky Fingers before, but I will be sure to find an excuse to come here for Kimberly and also for those ribs.“

“The Mason Jar always come through! Granted we are there once or twice a week, we needed to get out yesterday and find a place to do some with our internet out. Thank you, co-owner Heather, for letting us set up shop by the windows where we enjoyed a light lunch and a couple of rounds. We have NEVER had a bad time, meal, or experience, and while we appreciate the whole team, we love co-owner Eddie, bartender Danielle, Amanda, sweet Lilah, and Jen. You will, too! Thanks for being there for us, TMJ! You’re a big reason why we wouldn’t want to call any place other than DT Greer our home.“

“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 💛“

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

“Great staff, and the food is AMAZING!!!!!“

“This was my first time eating here. I had a goat cheese, pepper jelly, chicken biscuit that was quite tasty. Don't think I'd get the hash browns again but the sauce they served with them was good. Only gave service a 4 star as it's really a serve yourself as you order, they call you when it's ready. Also, self serve coffee and drink bar but food was ready quick.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience with excellent food selections. Group of 18 dined here and we had exceptional service, food was cooked to perfection as well as good dinner choices. The staff were professional, nice, helpful, and courteous. The ambience and decor sets the mood for a perfect dining experience. The salmon and crabmeat dish were excellent. The specialty drinks were delicate and tasty. The plated food was beautifully made. Oh and the plates the food was served on adds a special touch as it is different sets of real beautiful china!!! We enjoyed dining here and we didn’t feel rush to leave! Happy hour was great too!“

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

“OJ's is a jewel in the crown of Greenville! I've been coming here for years after a friend shared this hidden gem. The food is fantastic, offering many choices for your many moods. The hostess has been there for years and is a blessing, making sure you have parmesan cheese for your baked spaghetti, plenty of iced tea, etc. One of my top 10 favorite local color restaurants. Cannot recommend enough! Go enjoy it for yourself!“

“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!“

“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!“

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