Love this place! We were traveling with a dog, and they were so helpful setting up to set on the patio. The food was amazing! You have to try the pancakes.

Had lunch with a large group here. The prices were perfectly fine. Another reviewer’s comments about price are absurd. This place has great affordable diner food close to downtown Greenville. It’s not the Ritz Carlton but also not trying to be. The food is fairly priced and very good. We enjoyed our lunch which included burgers and salads and would definitely return. Oh, the fresh grilled chicken chef salad was about $9 which is low. By the way the service was fantastic. Back again for breakfast and got the special. Back again. Still love it. Great staff even throughout the crisis. Back again today I had the special… Always get the special. Recommend.

I really like this place but their prices have gone up. Now, I know everything is going up but $15 for 1 small piece of fish, 4 shrimp, fries, & slaw is a little too much. Now, 2-3 pieces of fish & 6-8 shrimp, I can see paying that. Silver Bay gives you more for less money. Guess I’ll go there for seafood. I gave 4 stars because the food is good.

The people here are so friendly! Note – breakfast is the only menu available on Saturdays. The food was decent and reasonably priced.

The lamb gyro was bland, the tomato and lettuce were wilted and mealy. The Greek seasoning on the fries was a little too salty, maybe using less would be better. Told an attendant at the register when they asked how my meal was about my issues. They responded that they have had the gyros and think they are fine. As you can see from the pictures I finished less than half of the gyro.

It’s seem to be a pretty straight place, I usually take my mom here and she is picky so the food must be good, went there today and she got 2 pork chop plates, w mashed potatoes, no gravy an some green beans, lady brought it out to our car and the containers were not in a bag and when asked it would seem like she kinda got an attitude when asked to bring us a bag for the plates. I mean I could be tripping but it just seems like she had one especially when my mom asked her to bag the 2 plates for her, but other then that it’s usually a good all around spot for food whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner

I went in for lunch and was mesmerized by how smoothly everyone worked together to enhance the customer dining experience. I had the fried flounder and it was SO good! Highly recommend it!

The food and service were very good. Our waitress was so helpful and friendly. After she found out it was our 1st time at the restaurant, she did an amazing job helping decide what to choose.
