“We catered Harvey's for our residents Friendsgiving event at Brushy Creek Post Acute. The food was delicious but the service was even better! The staff was incredibly kind from the beginning starting with Kristy over the phone and the staff (I should have gotten their names) that helped me load all of the food into my car. Would love to work with them in the future!🤍“

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

“Outstanding dinner with family of 8. Food was excellent, served and prepared with a unique southern charm. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Service was excellent. Excellent, excellent, excellent and within an easy walk to the Peace Center Concert Hall. Our third time here since moving from up north. A 10 out of 10 from us. My only criticism was with the beautiful sign hung above the main entrance door. Our family was seated in the outdoor patio area, totally enclosed with comfortable heaters. My seat faced the sign - about 8 feet away. While I could read the "Southern Bistro" part of the sign, I could not read the name of the Bistro which was painted in blue with a blue trim painted around the sign. May I suggest an orange color for the name with the same orange trim? You'd then be able to read it from further away. This place is one of our favorites.“

“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“

“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!“

“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 💛“

“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!“

“My mom and I got into town today and The Mason Jar was walking distance from our hotel. They had trivia night and Frankie was amazing! Our server Ren made the night so much better too. She answered all of the questions we had, gave us recommendations and was overall just so pleasant. The food was also amazing and we’ll probably be back in the short time we’re in town!“

“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.“

“What a great spot! Diverse/unique menu with delicious options, attentive service, lovely indoor/outdoor seating accommodations. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“
