FIXITMAN wrote about Shogun Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar

THE food was pretty good, but the service was the worst i have ever experienced. WE HAD TO GET UP AND GET OUR OWN TEA AND WATER AND TO GO BOXES HAD TO GO TO REGISTER TO GET OWNER TO BRING BILL TO US. THERE WERE 16 OF US AND ALL OF US HAD SAME TREATMENT.WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO MANAGERS ATTENTION SHE SAID SHE DIDNT CARE WHAT WE THOUGHT. WE COULD GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR ALL SHE CARED. I WILL NEVER GO BACK AND HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB.

NateG2 wrote about The Savoury Corner

You won't mistake it for dining at the Ritz, but if you like good food, served quickly, you'll love it. I stay away from the gyros (they're new to the menu) mostly since I'm a bit old school. The box lunches are tried and true and they never disappoint. I'll go somewhere else if I want a gyro!

lhardy wrote about Grand Buffet

My mother-in-law and friend had an early dinner here last night. They arrived at 3:30 and chose the buffet. No one explained anything about the bar. My mother-in-law placed one crab leg and a mushroom on her plate. A staff member came to her yelling things she couldn't understand. She was pointing and yelling and then snatched the plate out of her hand and gave her an empty plate. She then figured out the crab leg was the problem. She was humiliated. This is the most decent woman I know and would never do anything at dishonest. I believe most restaurants would explain to the customer calmly and privately, but definitely not in such an aggressive and demoralizing manner. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

BlueSkies wrote about Thaicoon Ricefire and Sushi Bar

Visited Thaicoon on a Thursday evening amazingly it was not crowded, was a little skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. When I walked in the door thought the decor was very nice. There was no host waiting at the door to greet patrons so we were unsure whether we should seat ourselves or continue waiting to be seated. Once seated in a booth in the bar area (seems to be the only area that they were seating people) our dinner order was taken by the bartender. He was pretty friendly, gave helpful suggestions on the menu items but was not very knowledgable reagarding drink prices......each time we asked about the price of mixed drinks he had to go and check. We ended up ordering the calimari which to our pleasant surprise was delicious, the vegetable tempura which was also delicious but a bit pricey for fried vegetables ($8.99), the king 4 fried rice which too was delicious and a bit pricey (around $9.99 for peas, beef, shrimp, pork & chicken). Everything was deicious, the atmosphere was nice because there was no crowd (will have to visit on another busier night and see how atmosphere is). Overall great evening, waiter was very accomodating and wanted to make sure we were happy with our food selection and that was great. Total price = a little over $51.00 (not including the tip) for 3 mixed drinks, 3 appetizers, and one king 4 fried rice (was a good portion so we shared). Will definitely return again!!!

cvdbdgb wrote about Compadres Mex Mex Grill

Compadres is the best mex in Greenville! Service is great and prices are really reasonable. The food is authentic and fresh. The staff is very accommodating with special requests. THeir margarita is the best and most authentic in town! Well worth the trip. We work downtown and go at least once a week! Try the fajita taco salad!

toryjohnson commented on First look: Flounder Bar & Grill

Great place, great food, great service. The owner is very friendly to everyone. The bartender was excellent also. Couldnt ask for anything better.

humminbird wrote about Cafe Rivera

i wrote about dinner not 2 long ago but i had lunch the other day and it rocks. the best burgers and cuban food period in the upstate. hand cut fries and they even make there own ketchup!!! the service is always spot on and just a great spot for lunch or dinner. the people in greer and greenville are missing out if they don't go there. i was looking on urban spoon.com and no other restaurant in the upstate has a higher rating and once you go you will find out for yourself why that is so. trust me i have eaten all over the world and there is'nt that many mom and pop places left without the snobby crap most nice restaurants give you. these guys will make you feel at home.!!!

WorldTraveler wrote about Royal Thai Inc

Royal Thai is an undiscovered gem. It sits tucked away in an obscure strip mall, with a nondescript front and sign. That's a shame, because its lack of visibility prevents people from noticing it. Inside is a great cook with great recipes. The food is bursting with flavors of all sorts. A cooking snob I know loves to savor the different flavor experiences. I've had Thai food in Thailand and also lived in Los Angeles during the explosion of Thai dining in the 1990's. The food at the Royal Thai is the real thing. Incidentally, I am happy to say that when I took a group of friends there, the waiter cautioned us that we were probably ordering more food than we needed. Even though it was against his self-interest to say so, he advised us not to order so many soups. He was honest.

sacbuoy wrote about Downtown Sweets & Eats

DSE catered a gathering that I attended. The food was great (great sandwiches!) and everyone that works for them is very nice. I have heard about the desserts and need to get back there and try them.

MamaHound wrote about Between the Bun Bistro

B-T-B could be the Cheers of informal dining! It's one of those places where everyone knows your name, or at least your face...possibly because almost everyone in the place is a "frequent eater", coming in weekly if not daily. I was impressed by the hearty soups and creative sandwiches, wraps and salads. The pimiento cheese is every bit as good as my Mama made! And. if you can't make up your mind, I recommend the Carolina Turkey Apple Sandwich with apple butter and served on wheatberry bread or Karson's Roast Beef on a pretzel roll. How do I know? I've tried almost everything on the menu.

JDWig wrote about Between the Bun Bistro

We were so pleased to find a wonderful little sandwich shop in the Easley area!! The food was fantastic. I had a Chicken Pita with a salad and my friend had a Roast Beef Sandwich on a Big Soft Pretzel. The service was wonderful. They were really busy that day so we had to wait for a few minutes but the wait was well worth it. The servers were all friendly and helpful, the food delicious and the atmosphere was like a big friendly family. It was obvious that everyone was having a great time. We will go back often!!

luster1973 wrote about Downtown Sweets & Eats

The food there is extremely good, especially the cakes. They are so soft and melt in your mouth. Betty Crocker has nothing on the cake maker at this restuarant. The Orange Juicy cake is one of my favorites. If you haven't been to this family spot you are really missing a treat.

kdwpt wrote about Downtown Sweets & Eats

From the pumpkin cupcakes to the cappuccino brownies, Downtown Sweets and Eats knows how to satisfy a sweet tooth. Not into sweets, try one of the sandwiches or soups. It is all great.

melj216 wrote about The Plaid Pelican

I have been a loyal fan of The Plaid Pelican since opening and believe that everyone should give it at least one shot. That is all you will need to want to go back. You will begin to crave scallops in your sleep. You will want oysters on your lunch break. It is rare to find the talent of a chef like Paul in an atmosphere like the Pelican. Take advantage of it! You won't regret it.

SimpsonvilleTgrs wrote about Tony's Pizza & Sub

We decided to order pizza from Tony's since they were right up the road and we thought we would call early since it was a Saturday night and figured there would be a rush. Well, no need. The pizza arrived in less than 20 minutes and we live about 5 minutes away. We were shocked at how quick and hot the pizzas were. Not only did they get there fast, but it felt like it was fresh out of the oven AND they were VERY good. Not a slice left in the house. We will definitely remember them in the future.

BigOgirl wrote about Bin 112

BIN112 is now open for lunch and they have the most amazing burgers! The Southern Comfort with Pimento Cheese a fried green tomatoe and jalepeno bacon is to die for! They have soup and salads for lunch as well. Amazing restaurant and the owners are always so friendly and welcoming.

teed wrote about Chiefs Wings & Firewater

I was the second entry in the Steve Miller karaoke contest. The manager promised to post my video entry on the chiefs website to win free tickets to the Steve Miller concert. They posted the guy before me, then they posted the 2 women after me. Why did he skip me? How could this have happened? My wife called GM,John Wass several times to try and resolve this. We talked to a waitress and she went to get him on the phone. We waited on the phone for 12 minutes, but he never came to the phone. We called john wass 3 times, but he was so uncooperative and unprofessional. He never even bothered to call back and tell me why my video was omitted.The DJ said I had a very good chance of winning since my performance was the best he had seen of all the entries.Why promote a contest and not be fair to the contestants? He should have at least called me back and offered an apology and some kind of consolation. Bottom line: Be weary of their bogus and VERY biased, rigged up contests.

palmetto wrote about Two Guys Pizza

I've never been in a pizza restaurant like Two Guys anywhere in South Carolina. The ambiance is classic, with framed photos along the walls of sports figures and more. A very relaxed atmosphere. The pizza is great -- the crust and sauce are excellent. Add your favorite toppings and you will have a masterpiece. One of the best pizza places in the Upstate.

palmetto wrote about Stevi B's Pizza

Buffalo chicken pizza, baked potato pizza, and macaroni and cheese pizza are just a few of the unique flavors you can find at Stevi B's Pizza. We enjoy our visits to Stevi B's. They are always ready to make whatever flavor pizza you want -- just ask. The salad bar and dessert pizzas are also pretty good.

palmetto wrote about Pops Pizzeria

Visited for lunch during the week. The wait staff was very helpful and friendly, the food was excellent and the price of the lunch special was just right (around $5). Highly recommended!

Desmobot commented on The bottom line

This place is AWESOME! When I still lived in Greenville it was a weekly stop for me. I love the staff as much as the food. They really love their Brazilian culture and it shows, especially in the size of their dinners. It's great to have a place like this in Grenville.

NomadFemme commented on Inside: Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine

Take it from a Thai chick, this place is good! Great big servings on their entrees and a nice selection. Always a healthy pick they're super fast with their take-out too. Khop Khun Ka Sweet Basil for bringing thai food to Haywood Road.
