34 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!“

“If I could give more stars, I would! Our waitress, Andie, was so nice and attentive. We were sitting outside, and my husband briefly mentioned that he was a little uncomfortable in the chair. Within minutes, the manager, Mike, surprised us by bringing 2 different chairs for us. Amazing service! The food and drinks were exceptional! We will definitely frequent Sassafras in the future.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“The service started off as rude… nobody came to seat us but eventually the waiter told us to sit where we like to so we did that, then the other lady (who ended up being our waitress) told us to move to another table stating that a large party may come in and need this table THE RESTAURANT WAS EMPTY!! ….I didn’t like that at all. The food was pretty decent. Their rendition of The chicken and waffle was with sweet potato fries was and it was good. The cheesesteak was good but nothing to brag about. The loaded potato skins with chili was great! The nice waiter recommended these“

“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.“

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

“Awesome service. They are friendly and involve you in the experience with goofy names that you can pick that they call out when your order is ready! Hand squeezed orange juice is the bomb!

Vegetarian options: The sweet potatoes hash was great with spinach, mushrooms, goat cheese, and two eggs on top.“

“We were in the area and decided to stop in for breakfast. Had a long line ahead of us, but it moved along quickly and our food was out in a very reasonable time. The food was absolutely delicious and they have a good selection of coffee to choose from. I highly recommend giving this place a try.“

“OMG!!! I couldn't even get a picture that food was so good! The biscuits! Homemade! The fish! Fried so so good!! The grits, The GRITS, i was scrapping my plate sopping up grits with my biscuits. Yes Five Star southern cooking!!! That was just my plate. My husband had sausage patties, split sausage link and the eggs!!! Our table was so quiet except for forks from plate to mouth. No phone, no nothing but good eats! Oh yeah they had applebutter! I love applebutter and they had molasses and honey for condiments. It was very very good. Yes five stars from me! We will be back to try lunch and or dinner but breakfast was on point!“

“Everything was AMAZING. The menu was so well put together, we had no idea what to get because we wanted it all! We got the beef carpaccio and the fried green tomatoes were to die for. The pot roast was so tender and the flavor was spectacular. I got the duck and wanted to melt. We love the Stella’s staff! Especially our server, Genevieve (ask for her when you go) & Julia and Anna as well! Thank you Stella’s & can’t wait to go again!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The fried chicken was all that and plus. The chicken leg size was huge!!!! The breast was also huge proportion sized. Cooked throughly and still very crunchy coating. The name sake dish, the fried green tomatoes, didn't disappoint. The sweet potato souffle stole the meal. Dipping the cornbread into the sweet potato souffle is like a desert.“

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

“Nice Sunday brunch outdoors. Attentive staff. Food was acceptable but not creatively prepared. Prompt in serving custom omelet and waffle. Would have been nice to include one glass of juice with the meal. At least a buffet allows some options for vegetarians. Will probably go on another trip to Greenville.“

“Wonderful meal on Valentines Day. Excellent service and atmosphere!“
