Concerts & Shows
The Peace Center Concert Hall, located in the heart of Greenville next to Falls Park, is a prominent cultural hub for the performing arts. With a 2,100-seat concert hall, a 400-seat theater, and an advanced amphitheater, it hosts over 300 events annually. From acclaimed Broadway shows to classical music concerts and international ballets, the center offers diverse performances.
We went there to watch Hamilton’. The show itself was amazing but I also know the atmosphere of this concert hall made me feel even more magical. I really enjoyed my time there and will definitely go there sometime soon again.

Not a bad seat in the house. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Great place to see anything you like from Greenville's amazing Symphony Orchestra to plays and concerts. The acoustics are excellent for sound transmission and quality. It's a lovely building too.

Received an in person tour from Lindsay a week before my event. Needed to see a better view of seat uptime before I purchased. Tour was very good. Lindsay was very kind and helpful. Seats were every comfortable. Aisle way is bigger than expected so no problems there. The balcony is in fact high as hell. Just like all the comments mentioned. If that doesn't matter to you... it is a great view. Hope this helps. You can also look up view from my seat online and it will help as well. Learned that from Lindsay.

Peace Center was very easy to find being in a great location. There are tons of employees to accommodate finding your way, whether it be to find the restrooms or even a cocktail. Memorabilia station was quick and organized. The show Back to the Future was great. This was a gift given to us and isn't our normal entertainment but enjoyed the show. It was even equipped with a REAL DeLoren, moving stages and of course lots of singing.

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Falls Park on the Reedy is a stunning park located in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. It is often referred to as the "crown jewel" of the area and offers breathtaking views of the Reedy River Falls from the unique Liberty Bridge. The bridge, which is 345 feet long and 12 feet wide, provides an incredible vantage point for visitors to admire the natural beauty of the park.
Greenville is such a pretty town that offers a safe environment downtown with tons of entertainment and food options. This little park is so cute. While we were there, a man was placing some live music and so many young adults and older adults were having a blast- dancing to the music. It was nice to see such a small city come to life.

This was a very smart move the city made in creating this public environment for all to enjoy. They're lucky that they have this natural waterfall feature in their town. it's a great for the locals and a awesome place to stop as you travel. There's a parking garage nearby the charge $3 an hour we stayed for about 3 hours it was plenty of time to relax walk around grab something to eat and head on to our next adventure. The kids like going down to the water and walk on the cross the rocks. It was a very beautiful, and romantic we seen a couple get engaged there. Looking forward to our next visit there.

Amazed to see the waterfall inside the park & inside the city :) it was charming beautiful & clean. Entry is free. Fascinating to that park & surrounding areas were reclaimed & redeveloped - I can imagine it would have been such taunting task. Reedy riverside walk is awesome. Bridge adds to the beauty.

This park was so beautiful!! And it was within walking distance of our hotel (Embassy Suites). It was so peaceful here. We walked down the creek for about a mile. It was nice to see people enjoying such a beautiful green space together. There were walkers, joggers, and bikers all on the trail and people fishing in the creek. This is definitely a must visit if in the Greenville area.

It’s truly a beautiful park with so much to see and well-maintained trails. You can even get into the water, and there are plenty of spots to relax or enjoy a picnic. If you’re visiting Greenville, I definitely recommend stopping by here. We parked a bit farther away, but parking was free for two hours.

What an outstanding place located right in the heart of downtown Greenville, South Carolina. The river played a major role in the development of the city from its settlement days forward. The park and the immediate area pay homage to that. A magnificent curved bridge spans the river high above, allowing terrific views of the falls and the rocks that form the bed of the river. There was not much water flow the day we were there, October 18th, but my understanding is that when there is a lot of rain it is an incredible sight to see. There are a lot of activities, restaurants, points of interest, and things to see within walking distance of Falls Park, so find a parking spot and take it all in!

Wow! This place is Beautiful! I could spend the whole day there! We are visiting and my cousin took us there yesterday and we thoroughly enjoyed our time! She said on Saturday they close down the street and put up a market. We are absolutely going to go back for that!🙂

Zoo
Nestled in Cleveland Park at 150 Cleveland Park Drive, the Greenville Zoo is a modest yet captivating destination showcasing a diverse array of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians from around the globe. Established in 1960 with a mission to foster an appreciation for nature and wildlife while promoting conservation education, this zoo offers an assortment of habitats housing African lions, giraffes, Amur leopards, domestic animals, reptiles, frogs, and snakes.
A nice and interesting zoo with a relaxed atmosphere and very few crowds, which made the visit more enjoyable. Around 20% of the enclosures were empty, which was a bit disappointing, but there were still enough animals to make the visit worthwhile. It took me about an hour to walk through the entire zoo, and overall, I’m glad I came. A pleasant and peaceful way to spend some time.
Volodymyr B — Google review
Smaller zoo which makes it great for toddlers! We were able to walk through in less than 2 hours. We purchased our tickets ahead of time, walked right in, and had no problems! They allow you to bring in outside food and drink as well which is always helpful with kids. The biggest attraction is the giraffes. We were able to feed them right at 10am when the exhibit opened. Would definitely recommend if you have kids in the area!
Abbie C — Google review
It's a small downtown zoo, so you have to have perspective. You can walk the entire thing while taking your time at each enclosure in 90 minutes. So if you are expecting the NC zoo size, then it's quite different. The variety of animals is quite good and on a calm and pleasant day you got to see everyone active. Distance to every animal is fairly close so getting pictures or seeing their movement is really easy. The entire park was clean, well laid out, and simple to navigate. Pricing was typical for concessions and souvenirs, and gate price was lower than your really big zoos which was nice to see. I was very impressed with what you were able to experience while being wedged into a near downtown area. I will come back.
Gregory R — Google review
Greenville zoo is a fun place for a family outing! If you can, I suggest you buy tickets online as it saves you $2 per ticket and all you have to do when you come to the gate is give the confirmation number and you are all set! I went on a Thursday and it wasn't that busy at all! I went with a friend and our young kids and they loved it! Especially the Orangutans and the Monkeys. We only had 2.5 hours to spend there including having our packed lunch which took a half hour of that time. We would have easily spent 3 hours in the zoo part and probably another hour at the park outside the zoo.
Esther L — Google review
This is a small zoo. It's beautifully maintained. The animal habitats are well-designed and constructed. The exotic animals, birds, reptiles, and tortoises we saw looked in peak condition. The Barnyard exhibit is empty. It is going to be rebuilt. There was no litter or graffiti. It was our first visit. We definitely plan to visit again.

Such a fun time! Was busy but not over crowded. Went at 11 AM and left around 1 PM. Got to visit multiple areas more than once. It took us about 45 minutes to get through the whole zoo. Short sweet and cute for a quick spur of the moment, need something to do on a Saturday.

Great spot for a family outing! We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn’t too busy, which made it easy to enjoy. It’s the perfect size for a 2-hour visit—you can see everything without feeling rushed. Our 3-year-old especially loved feeding Miles the giraffe, which was definitely a highlight. A fun, laid-back experience for families with young kids.

Museums
The Greenville County Museum of Art, located in downtown Greenville, SC, is a must-visit for art enthusiasts. It features an extensive collection of American art with a focus on Southern ties, spanning from 18th-century portraits to contemporary pieces. The museum is home to works by renowned artists like Andrew Wyeth and Jasper Johns. Additionally, visitors can explore the vibrant downtown area with its charming boutiques, eateries, and entertainment options.
This museum was free. Visited on Saturday morning, and it was moderately busy. The museum guards were extremely knowledgeable and had amazing details to share about the work and the artists... which I really appreciated. It is accessibility friendly with ramps and an elevator. The gift shop wasn't open as it's currently being renovated. I had a wonderful visit.

An absolutely fantastic place! I’m really glad I had the chance to visit. The museum features several floors of impressive art exhibitions, showcasing a wide range of paintings. I was especially lucky to catch a live concert during my visit — a unique performance with bells and other unusual instruments, conducted like a true orchestra. It added an unforgettable layer to the whole experience. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Who doesn't love a free art museum? Even being under renovation, we had a lovely time here viewing what was on display in the available spaces. And there was a lot! I especially loved the art of Elizabeth Bradford, her vibrant images of nature were absolutely beautiful. It's always wonderful to experience new art in person. Even if you don't care for certain pieces, being immersed in a space with so much passion and creative effort is powerful on its own.

Walking through the museum's grand entrance, I was immediately captivated by the array of art and artifacts on display. Each exhibit seemed to tell a unique story, drawing me deeper into its narrative. As I wandered through the halls, I found myself transported through time and space, from ancient civilizations to modern masterpieces. The museum's curated collection sparked my imagination and ignited my curiosity, leaving me in awe of the beauty and creativity of human expression. It was a truly unforgettable experience, one that left me inspired and enriched.

Wonderful. We went on a special day. There was an antique sale with local shops displays. Entrance was free. The art was displayed beautifully and there was a nice variety. I will go back when it is just the art. The building is very modern looking but built in 1974. It is also a piece of art.

Specialty Museums
The Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum & Baseball Library is a dedicated space in the former home of baseball player Joe Jackson, located near Fluor Field. The museum showcases interactive exhibits about Jackson's life and career, including his time in the Textile League and his controversial legacy. On game days and Saturdays, visitors can explore the on-site research library with over 2,000 books about the sport.
We enjoyed this Museum. It is only open one day of the week for a few hours. Therefore it’s pretty popular. We had to wait in line for an hour and a half before entering. Once you get in, an older gentleman gave a talk about Shoeless Joe, how he got his name, and his life. This area also serves as a gift shop and has a re-creation of the liquor store Joe owned, complete with antique cash register and backdrop (photo op). Next, you walk up a ramp to his original house, which is pretty cool. There is the kitchen, and bathroom, living room, and some bedrooms, One of the bedrooms is set up like a locker room. There are a lot of paper memorabilia in that room in a metal drawer unit. You might miss these, so be sure to take time to look in the drawers. On the walls throughout the house are some very interesting newspaper articles, pictures and memorabilia. There was also a gentleman upstairs who was able to answer questions. Arrive early, as there is a long wait in line. They only allow about a dozen in ever 20-30 minutes. While waiting, a museum worker was outside who knew baseball and “fielded” all sorts of questions and also just enjoyed listening to baseball comments. He was knowledgeable. The museum is free and I believe all the workers are volunteers. Pretty sweet operation under those circumstances. We wondered if this tour could be run been more efficiently so one would not have to wait so long outside in the line. One suggestion is perhaps for them to do a video introduction for people to watch while waiting in line. The man in the first room could give that video introduction as he was very animated and enjoyable to listen to. People could watch that outside while they’re waiting in line. If there was no line at a particular time, then allowing people to enter directly for a live talk would work. I liked learning about Shoeless Joe Jackson and his life. The sad part for me is that while completely cleared from charges of fixing a game in the World Series, the commissioner went back on his word and did not allow Joe and the other 7 players to play again. “What could have been” is left to the imagination of others.

All of the volunteers were knowledgeable, engaging, and nice. They are very welcoming and answered all of my questions. Cool to be in the house that he lived and died in. Used the space well and everything is labeled. Took the free tour then walked around the museum by myself. Great location and spent a lot of time here (1+ hours).

This museum was so darn cool, even if you’re not a big baseball fan ! The hours are limited to just Saturdays for now so make sure to plan to go while it’s open. It’s only open one day a week because it’s run by volunteers. We were led through the house/museum by a marvelous guide— who was extremely informative and provided such interesting stories using history about shoeless Joe Jackson. Very interesting story. A must-see while in Greenville.
Kelly S — Google review
While driving downtown Greenville SC, I stumbled upon this museum. The name had me curious, and since I had a family member who was knowledgeable about the history of Joe Jackson, we decided to stop. The admission fee is $7, and you can either walk through the museum or have someone escort you through each room, giving you with the history of Shoeless Joe Jackson.

A must stop for any baseball fan or anyone interested in history. Plus it's free, but I donated some cash. The docents are very knowledgeable on the subject matter. And questions are encouraged. It's also within walking distance of Main Street with many shops and restaurants. An added bonus with a minor league baseball within the same block.

Restaurant
Jianna is a stylish restaurant located in downtown Greenville, offering stunning views of Falls Park. The menu features a mix of house-made pastas, seafood dishes, and oysters on the half shell, complemented by specialty cocktails. Nearby, Passerelle Bistro serves French-inspired cuisine such as escargot and crab cakes, while UP on the roof provides rooftop views until late at night. Jianna's visually stunning setting includes a patio overlooking Main St.
If you appreciate fine dining and truly professional service, Jianna is a must-visit. My wife and I were absolutely blown away by our experience here last night, one of our final dinners in South Carolina. Staff: Our server, Matt, was phenomenal. He knew the menu inside and out, describing dishes with the knowledge and passion of a chef. He was attentive, kind, and just the right amount of funny; clearly someone who loves what he does. One of his recommendations ended up being my order, and it was spot on. The hostesses we met were equally kind and welcoming, making us feel valued at every interaction. Food: This was, hands down, the best meal we’ve had in a long time, and we eat out often. We’ve dined in some of the finest places, and Jianna measured up to some of our favorite places. My wife has celiac disease and must avoid gluten, yet the menu here was perfect for her. Almost everything could be customized, allowing her to enjoy the same experience as everyone else. The gluten-free pasta was incredible. I ordered the Halibut, and it was the best fish I’ve ever eaten, and I grew up on an island where seafood was a daily menu item. The Fingerling Potatoes were bursting with flavor, the Tomato Bisque was smooth and satisfying, and the Summer Salad was a fresh, light start. Every dish had brilliant flavor combinations. It’s no wonder Jianna sells a cookbook! The only regret I have is not buying one to take home so I could try my best to replicate our experience at home in my own kitchen. Atmosphere: We dined on the outdoor patio, which was perfect. The soft sounds of the street below added to the warm feeling of the restaurant, and to top it off, a musician in the park provided live music as we ate. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening. If we could go back tonight, we would in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a spot to eat… stop looking and just give them a call and reserve a seat.

Really great meal here! The burrata is a must-have and might as well get some extra bread while you're at it. The chef's created pastas were really well done. I got one with lobster and there was a generous portion of lobster. Very heavy handed on the garlic which isn't necessarily bad but just know what you're getting with that. Didn't have room for dessert after all of the good food but would like to try that in the future. Would definitely go back. We sat outside and it was nice (other than the more-than-occasional loud car) - probably wouldn't work in the heat of summer but was great when we were there (mid October).

We had an amazing experience at Jianna. Our server: Fernando was incredible - he explained everything so well, added fun moments to our evening, and even told us about the restaurant and their best dishes. He helped us customize a vegetarian, no-meat menu, which was so thoughtful. The place is clean, welcoming, and the food and desserts were absolutely delicious. The entire staff was warm and friendly, and it truly made the experience special. Since it was my birthday, Fernando surprised us with a little treat too. He is one of the best servers I’ve ever met - he really made our day enjoyable. Jianna absolutely deserves its Michelin Guide recognition, and our experience proved why.😊

There was a sax player out there playing all throughout dinner and the weather and ambiance was great. Our food and service was exceptional and we were really glad to meet our server, Conner. We loved the food so much we got a Jianna cookbook signed by the chef to take home. Thank you guys for such a great evening!

Amazinggggg experience at Jianna while visiting from out of town! Service and food were excellent. We ordered four apps (gnocchi, burrata, octopus, tuna) and grabbed a couple of pasta entrees to go. Apps came out extremely quick - which was surprising because of how busy they were on a Friday night. Yummy bread! Cocktails were delicious (dirty martinis with goat cheese stuff olives). I believe our servers name was Andy (?) - he did a great job taking care of us!
Leanne T — Google review
I visited Jianna to celebrate my birthday and had the chance to try a wide variety of dishes. Appetizers: We ordered several starters, including the Prosciutto, NC Burrata, and Marinated Olives. While all were fresh and enjoyable, they didn’t stand out—good but nothing particularly memorable. The Char-Grilled Octopus was nicely prepared, but it lacked the bold smokey, charred flavor I’ve experienced at other restaurants. Entrée: For my main course, I tried the Fettuccine Ragu special with veal and pork. Unfortunately, this dish fell short. The pasta was overcooked and mushy, losing the texture you’d expect from fresh pasta. On top of that, there wasn’t nearly enough ragu to coat the noodles, making it difficult to taste the depth of flavor I was hoping for. Dessert: To finish, I ordered the Affogato. While I appreciated the concept, the espresso was overly bitter and tasted like it may have been over-extracted, which threw off the balance of the dessert. Overall: Jianna has a beautiful atmosphere and some promising dishes, but based on my experience, execution was inconsistent. A few items were enjoyable, but others—especially the pasta—missed the mark. I’d be open to returning and trying different menu items, but overall, my birthday dinner didn’t quite meet expectations.
Johnny L — Google review
Jianna NEVER misses! I love coming here because the food is literally never bad. We started with the Ricotta Crostini—it’s heavenly. Mains were Spaghetti TGB and Seafood Special—PLENTY of food (in a good way). It’s very much filling but the perfect amount of food. Drinks are always good and service as well.

Belgian restaurant
Nestled beneath Barley's in downtown, The Trappe Door exudes an old-world charm and offers a wide array of traditional Belgian dishes and an extensive selection of Belgian and Belgian-style beers. The subterranean bar boasts a diverse range of refreshing saisons, malty pales, and funky sours. Patrons can also indulge in classic cocktails such as the Sazerac or the house Ramos gin fizz.
Incredible food in a fantastic and unique atmosphere. Service was excellent and the servers suggestions were spot on to our palettes. I has the Steak Frites and it was one of the best steaks I've had in Greenville, SC. The only critique I have is that their fries are, perhaps intentionally, bland. A small bit of salt and pepper would do wonders for them but I suspect this might intentional as they provide 3 unique sauces of your choosing for dipping. Get a reservation and go enjoy this incredible restaurant!

The food was amazing. It was bursting with flavors! The atmosphere is pretty cool. Love the wood and brick features. The service was adequate, however we were asked multiple times if they could clear a plate, or if we wanted a box, when we were only halfway done eating. That was a bit frustrating. I'll go back. The food alone is worth a return trip.

The Flemish onion soup was delicious. The seafood waterzooi was a bit salty and the shrimp was a little overcooked, but otherwise decent. That stew also appeared to be Americanized since it has more things in it and served with bread which was not the case when I visited Belgium. The inside had a old-world Belgian vibe since it's located below street level.

Didn’t expect Belgian food in Greenville, SC but it happened and I’m glad. We walked down the stairs to the carmine colored walls and bar area and found two seats at the bar. Ordered the house made ginger beer. For apps we tried the beef croquets and Flemish onion soup. Would order the croquets again but not the soup. Then main course shared moules-frites (mussels and French fries) with three different types of mayo. Heaven.
Dave Z — Google review
Love the ambience - staff is amazing - beer selection is great. The problem for me comes from what we ordered - beef stew should have... Beef in it and I barely found one small piece in what was like a runny soup. The onion soup was a puree with nearly zero taste and I had to add salt to just taste onions. Next time I'm in Greenville, I won't be going there at least for the food - $100 for a beer and two meals with little flavor and nearly zero beef is not okay with me.

A real authentic Belgian experience. We come here every time we find ourselves in Greenville SC. A somewhat nondescript entrance, you descent into the dimly lit basement and be surrounded by the buzz. Food and beer are great! We feel like we are in Belgium!

Everything about the Anchorage speaks yummy! Friend had the gnochetti with anchovy and loved it. I had the sablefish with creamed corn and to say it was delicious is an understatement. It was truly amazing. The white wine we ordered was outstanding, perhaps the best white I've ever tasted at a local Greenville restaurant. Order this one if you love white wine! See the photo. The server Tabitha was so bubbly and fun, and her personality shone through. The manager acted as som and was chatty throughout. We were a table of five as walk-ins and the staff accomodated us promptly. We even sat on the upstairs deck outside for a nightcap. Do not miss this little gem of a balcony! A great spot for an after dinner drink.

Anchorage is a standout in Greenville’s food scene. We sat at the bar on a Tuesday and loved every bite. The Butterbaby Squash Carpaccio was light and creative, the Grilled Bradford Cabbage turned a simple veggie into something unforgettable, and the Seared Black Cod was perfectly cooked with a smoky jalapeño beurre blanc that tied it all together. Portions were spot-on, flavors were balanced, and each dish complemented the next. Thoughtful food, great atmosphere—absolutely worth a visit.

Anchorage delivered an outstanding dining experience, from the moment we arrived to the last bite of dessert. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is impeccable, and the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Appetizers: Bread Service – The sourdough bread was incredibly fresh, with a satisfying crust and soft interior. The cultured butter and bourbon liver mousse were both excellent—perfectly spreadable and paired beautifully with the bread. Louisiana Tuna Crudo – Bright, refreshing, and full of exciting textures. The balance of citrus, umami, and the crunch of black sesame seeds made every bite a delight. Main Courses: Brasstown Beef Flat Iron Steak – Cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the Covington sweet potatoes, kale, and rutabaga purée. The sauce was the silent powerhouse—deep umami-rich flavors with just an ever-so-slight hint of sourness, adding intrigue and balance. Pappardelle Bolognese – A rich, full-bodied dish with perfectly cooked pasta and deeply flavorful veal & flank steak sauce. Every element was executed flawlessly. Drinks: French 75 – A beautifully balanced, crisp cocktail with Roku Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and sparkling wine. The citrus was bright but not overpowering, and the effervescence added just the right amount of elegance. Mango Angel – A tropical and velvety drink made with Espolon Tequila, lime juice, spiced mango cordial, and egg white. The egg white foam gave it a smooth, silky mouthfeel, while the spiced mango added a subtle heat and complexity. Dessert: Pecan Entremet – A beautifully presented dessert with layers of nutty, creamy, and caramel flavors. The textures were just as impressive as the taste, with a crisp shortbread base, airy mousse, and a glossy, delicate finish. Service & Atmosphere: The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt well taken care of. The restaurant itself is in a charming area with quirky shops, bars, and restaurants, making it a great destination for a night out. Parking was surprisingly easy, which is always a plus. Pricing: The quality of the food, service, and ambiance justifies the pricing. Our meal, including two cocktails, two appetizers, two entrées, and a dessert, came to $127 before tip. Given the execution, portion sizes, and the use of high-quality, fresh, seasonal ingredients, the prices felt reasonable for a fine dining experience. Missed Opportunity?: If there’s one small thing that would have made the experience even better, it would have been the option for an after-dinner espresso. It wasn’t on the menu, but perhaps they offer it if requested. Final Thoughts: Anchorage is a must-visit for special occasions or anyone who appreciates seasonal, high-quality dining. The rotating menu means there’s always something new to experience, and we can’t wait to see what they offer next time.

This meal was out of this world. We did the table tasting and they serve all 9 of their entrees in sets of 3 (for 3 courses) and in portions perfect for the party. The dishes were creative and the flavors were amazing. The 4th course is a dessert. There are 2 floors for dining, the kitchen is open on the 1st floor. The music is great. Service outstanding. Such a wonderful experience.

Southern restaurant (US)
Soby's is a renowned restaurant in downtown Greenville, housed in a renovated 1800s historic cotton mill. The airy, brick-walled space with a huge wine cellar offers an inviting atmosphere for diners. With over 20 years of experience, Soby's serves reimagined Southern fare prepared by executive chef Kyle Swartzendruber and pastry chef Tarciani Hargercrab.
One of my new favorite places for sure! We had a table upstairs which was great for us, a little bit quieter. The waiter suggested a crab cake appetizer and She-Crab soup. So that's what we did. I had the Halibut entree and my husband had the Shrimp and Grits. Everything was on point! The sommelier, Robert, helped us find a bottle of wine to compliment the meal, and the price of the wine was less than we had anticipated. To finish the evening we shared a piece of Banana Cream Pie - it was worth the extra calories. If you're looking for a comfortable setting to have some amazing food then this is it!

High class food, but high prices. Soby's is the kind of place that you want to go if you wish to make a good impression or show off to others. You will find dishes here that are far nicer than other places around. At the same time, I really just don't enjoy it. I cannot fault either their quality or their staff, and the location and look is just amazing. But for the price and quantity that you get, it's just not ever going to be high up my list. I tried their quail, hoping to have a new experience and enjoy a different flavor. I understand it is a small bird, but really all I got was a sliver of taste for the quail itself and then an overwhelming portion of stuffing and the flavor of that. Portions, like you would expect from high class, are small but price is double or triple what you could pay for a larger meal elsewhere. It's an experience, and a mostly positive one, but not really a meal that I would choose.

We really enjoyed brunch there yesterday. The atmosphere is comfortable and vibrant. Britt gave us excellent service even though she was covering 12 tables. The food was exceptional. My Shashuka was great and my wife's Egg Benedict on a fried green tomato was excellent. I had to try their special Old Fashion which rocked!!!

We had an amazing dinner at Soby’s last night! We were seated right away, and while they do have a lovely calm outdoor seating area, we chose to sit inside. The service was excellent; our waiter was one of the friendliest and most attentive we’ve had in a while. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the crab cakes, which were packed with crab meat, and the Brussels sprouts with goat cheese... You must order these! For the main dish, we shared the filet, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. For dessert, we tried both the banana cream pie and the passionfruit cheesecake. Both were good, but the cheesecake was definitely the winner. If you enjoy sweet cocktails, I highly recommend the Lady Diana (vodka, St. Germain, and mango purée), so refreshing! Overall, a wonderful experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!

The place is incredible! I went with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. We had to wait 15 minutes for an outdoor table, so we waited at the bar, and it was the best decision. Derrick (I'm not sure if that's how his name is spelled) was our bartender, a super nice guy. He very kindly gave us a tour of the restaurant's wine cellar, which was a great experience! After that, we were seated at our table, and he continued to be our waiter. The wine we chose was a very, very good rosé, one of the best wines we've ever tasted, and we had two salads: the beet and goat cheese salad, and my husband had one whose name I don't remember, but both were delicious! It's a super nice place, with great food, good wine, and excellent service. It will definitely always be one of our stops every time we return to Greenville.

Service & atomoshere was excellent, inspite of late reservation, they were able to accommodate 3 of us during busy Friday evening. Had She Crab Soup & Shrimp and Grits, both were awesome. Complimentary southern style biscuit was tender & flaky.

Great upscale restaurant that has been in business for 28 years. They bring you homemade, by grandma’s recipe biscuits and they are the real thing. The food was amazing and our server Donny was spectacular!

Fork and Plough is a casual yet renowned farm-to-table restaurant located in Greenville, South Carolina. Partnering with Greenbrier Farms, the restaurant offers a diverse menu that changes regularly, featuring brunch staples, meat dishes, seafood, cocktails, and wine. The chef's innovative creations include items like fried egg over grilled catfish and Nashville hot softshell crab sandwich on Texas toast. Additionally, the restaurant sources its ingredients from nearby farms to ensure fresh and locally grown produce.
The food was absolutely delicious. It was such a good gluten-free bun. Lindsey our server was delightful. She was very sweet and witty. I know there are two Lindsey’s on staff. This one was blonde. I don’t know what the other one looks like if I ever go back, I will request our same waitress she was great.

Food was delicious. Everything from the starters to the main dish to dessert was tasty, flavorful, and delicious. The place is very cute and homey feeling. We had a big group of us and the food did not take long to come out and the waitstaff was very nice.

F&P has been on my list of local restaurants to visit- and when I saw their Restaurant Week menu, I decided to pull the trigger. With a reservation, we walked in and our table was ready. I did see parties waiting on seating throughout the night, however. Portion sizes were very generous for the price; $45 for a 3-course meal. Added on some amazing bread and a couple drinks at an extra charge. Apps included the pork belly and tomato pie, entrees were chicken marsala and the short rib, and for desert we got the brownie and the cheesecake. Still dreaming about the marsala and short rib- would definitely go back again for either, and loved the apps as well. My only issues were not being greeted by the hostess, and not getting a very friendly energy from our server. Otherwise, food came out quickly and the atmosphere was great!

I’ve eaten at Fork and Plough three times, each was absolutely delicious!! The food is like a flavor bomb in your mouth. Their menu changes 2x daily to accommodate the local foods that their receive. I would recommend making a reservation since they are so busy. Fork and Plough also has a counter where you can purchase desserts, chicken pot pies and more. If you order in advance, you can pick up meatloaf, mashed potatoes and a veggie for your family on Mondays. I believe friend chicken is available on Wednesdays.

Fantastic all the way around. I dont give 5 stars often. It was my first time there and I hope its not the last. It would be great if there was a place on your website that directed the customers to somewhere that has a picture of the menu. I like to take my time deciding what I want. I couldn't find a menu for that day and I was really wanting the chicken and waffles and it wasn't available. The shrimp and grits were pretty spot on though.

Fork and Plough is one of those restaurants that you’re either extremely lucky to live near or you wish it wasn’t 40 minutes away (like me). Everything from the staff, the food, the atmosphere, and even the building itself is so warm and welcoming. I came during brunch on a Saturday around noon and the restaurant was buzzing and playing cheerful music. I chose to sit at the bar and ordered a Bloody Mary, which was quite good. The brunch menu had some amazing sounding options and I settled on the smoked salmon bagel. It was ridiculously tasty! The bagel was perfect, the smoked salmon had zero toughness and the side salad was very fresh and perfectly dressed. Normally bage sandwiches can be meaty, especially ones as loaded as this was, but taking bites was zero issue. If anything, I’m embarrassed I ate it all so fast. Every staff member had a great attitude. I can see myself making a monthly trip to Greenville just to eat here. Come here, it’s totally worth it!
