I lived near Camp Red Cloud in Uijongbyu, South Korea for a year teaching overseas and got to eat homemade Korean food.
This reminds me of being there!

Thank you Chef JK team!

“The best BBQ in Greenville/South Carolina. Amazing atmosphere and service. The BBQ is elite. From the Turkey to the brisket, it’s my favorite. My kids love the tater tots and wings. This is our favorite spot for family dinner, hands down.“

There's plenty of seating as it's part of a food hall establishment. Along with a burger place and tap room. Outside seating available too.“

“man listen. cook out has yet to disappoint when I need an "elevated" eat. those chicken and beef quesadillas🔥the onion rings🔥the milkshakes I am beside myself right now 😜“

“This is a very nice place. We don't go a lot. Longhorn has good steaks and appetizers. If it's packed, which it usually is, call ahead or it will be a wait. Be patient with the staff, when it's that busy there will be mistakes.“

“The wait for a table was a little long but we were served with a great service and excellent food.“

“I had an amazing experience at Texas de Brazil. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt elegant and welcoming, perfect for a special night out. The service inside the restaurant was exceptional—attentive, professional, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The continuous tableside service of perfectly cooked meats was impressive, with a great variety and rich flavors in every cut. The salad bar was beautifully presented, fresh, and offered plenty of high-quality options. One thing that could be improved was the experience at the front desk. The hostess seemed a bit impatient, especially with children. We asked for a high chair and were told there weren’t any available, but later noticed that there actually were. That part felt a little dismissive and could have been handled better. Overall, everything else was well-organized, and the experience still felt upscale and worth it. I would recommend it for date nights or special occasions, and I would definitely return.“
