The fish was undercooked, the flour that they put on there in certain spots was undercooked the potato was all dried up and the hush puppies were very salty. That was the worst 40 bucks. I spent in my life on food and I've had some pretty bad food but this one topped it and you couldn't even go back to have it fixed because they close at 8:30 and then they don't open up again until Wednesday. This was very disappointing.

Really enjoyed Isla's this evening. We grabbed a reservation as this spot can get busy and…read morereceived a prompt email confirmation. We started with salads and excellent ceviche and "Down South" oysters as we found the pimento cheese and bacon topping to be a fun twist on oysters Rockefeller. We had the 16 and 13 year old in tow and while our kids have open minds and pallets when it comes to food, there were some slight questions about the menu options. There was a kids menu that was standard and I'm sure would accommodate most kids; but, I would say Isla's menu is sophisticated and can be appreciated by a more mature audience. Our 13 year old ordered the shrimp and grits and won the best entree of the night. It's a nice twist using a grit cake as opposed to traditional shrimp and grits but the flavor of the tomato and chorizo gravy along with the texture of the crispy grit cake was an interesting and nice change from the norm. I will definitely go back and try additional entrees. Overall, all the dishes were well put together, well seasoned and paired with a nice wine list that had variety for all tastes. Last, I will say the service was among the best we've had locally. Brandon was attentive, informative and accommodating throughout our evening experience. Thank you to Isla's for a wonderful first experience. I look forward to returning soon!

We went to Red Crab based on a friend saying the food was good. It didn't start out very well...(1)…read morethe lady who seated us had on a bandana but not like in a stylish way. It looked the way I wear one when I'm cleaning my house. (2) We were going to order some drinks but the bar was closed and only canned or bottled beer was available so that was a bummer. (3) We could BARELY understand what the server was saying and she was American ‍. (4) The menu was ok, you can choose different items like a mix and match boil and we ordered crab leg boil and shrimp boil which came out relatively quick in a puffed up plastic wrap. It comes with 2 small potatoes and 1 piece of corn mixed in. The food was very good!! No complaints on that at all. Nicely seasoned and plenty of juice to sop up the corn and potatoes with. Regardless of the minor flaws, I would recommend this place for the food alone!

I have been to this restaurant numerous of times over the years and have always had a nice…read moreexperience. However, tonight's visit has almost guaranteed I will not be back. First it started off with not being served or seeing our waitress for at least 10 minutes, mine you it was not busy surprisingly. Then when our waitress came she did not apologize for the wait. Next when she brought us the food we were missing shrimp out of our order and after correcting it, it still seemed like it was skimpy in sauce and protein. If that wasn't bad enough our server kept disappearing for long periods of time. When I attempted to address management about the issue, they didn't apologize or make up for the horrible service. When time to check out our bill had extra mussels even though we didn't order those. So overall this was a highly disappointing time and I don't know if I will be back.

Half seafood market, half Asian grocery, half asian fast food (guess that's three halves but you…read moreget the drift). We stumbled on it from seeing posts on a facebook group. Definitely easy go-to alternative to a larger Asian grocery like Seven Moon. The seafood looked fresh and from seeing the amount of orders on a random Monday morning, looks like they fry up a lot of fish...however, I didn't try it. Lots more frozen inventory than what was on ice. The little kitchen they have was a nice surprise and enjoyed the Salt & Pepper Squid. Definitely a place for take-out as they only have a couple of stools to sit and eat. If you're a chicken wing person, this is most probably the place for a good fried wing!

Wanted to look for hole in the wall/one off restaurants and found this place. It's in a run down…read moregas station. Not a lot of parking. It's half supermarket and half take out foods. The foods are typical Chinese and deep fried fish. The difference between this place and a typical Asian takeout is their specials on Friday. It varies depending on what they cook that day, but I was told it usually runs out by 10:30am. Their specials are only $6. Definitely would recommend this place on Friday, but get there early or their specials will be gone.

We went in late on Mother's Day and were seated right away. We did have a reservation. We were…read moregreeted by several staff, super friendly atmosphere and unique interior. Sort of reminded me of an old diner that had be renovated to a clean upscale vibe. We ordered the steak kabobs and they were mouthwatering with flavor. My fiancee got an old fashioned and I got a rabbits foot, one of their craft gin cocktails. It was AMAZING, the gentleman's ice cube I believe was made with lavender so as it melted, your drink was even more flavorful and not watered down. He ordered the shiny duck and I the beef fillet and mashed potato. Both were also delicious, this is a farm to table spot so you know it's fresh. One thing which I didn't minus a star for was considering the price point I would think they would offer a vegetable with your meal. Few spears of broccolini or asparagus or carrots, just to make it feel a little more well-rounded of a plate. The were out of a few items being a busy day/night but we didn't mind. We will try them next go around. Our server Erin was just epic, great sense of humor and very attentive! We will be back again and make sure to sit in her section. Cheers to supporting local non chain restaurants!

Focaccia with fresh tomatoes and whipped ricotta is fantastic, one thing to note though, it isn't…read morereally focaccia, more like Italian country style bread. Still delicious nonetheless. My husband ordered cheddar biscuits with whipped honey butter. Awesome solid choice for an appetizer. Short rib ragu was very wine forward, not my favorite, could reduce the red wine just a bit more, I prefer tomato and meat forward ragu sauce with short rib still has a bit of bite to it. This one since it's braised for 36 hours, it was too mushy for my liking. My husband's chicken parm was under seasoned, chicken cutlet was juicy, but the crust lacked a bit maybe because marinara sauce was poured over it, maybe double fry the cutlet before serving?! Our son's burger was fantastic, well seasoned, smash patty was still juicy and had a wonderful crust on both sides. Fries are soooo yummy, could use a bit more garlic in the aioli. We were seated in the corner facing the kitchen, so our son could see the busy kitchen and look outside through the big windows. Our waitress Jordan, she was wonderful, understanding and helpful. Overall, 3.5/5

We are constantly frustrated when eating at restaurants over the last couple of years…read more Today, we thought we would try something outside of our norm. Wow, we made a great decision trying Mama Juana Latin Fusion. We had an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the host, we knew this was going to be something different. The host asked, and was genuinely excited when we told him it was our first time in. When the waiter arrived, he was excited to tell us about the menu, as well as the food itself. He enthusiastically explained that while they had Mexican dishes, authentic Latin food was their real specialty. He made great recommendations and took great care of us throughout the meal. We chose to try the empanadas (1 cheese, 1 chicken, and 1 steak) and some cheese dip with chorizo. Both were exceptional. Full of flavor. My wife and I agreed to split 2 entrees, and that was another good decision. I had the Cachapa with shredded chicken, and she had the Venezuelan Arepas. Neither of us had ever had these dishes, but both were amazing. We were stuffed, but no way we couldn't take a desert home for later. The flan and the Tres Leches were both AWESOME! If you are on the fence, just try this place. You will be glad you did! They take a tremendous of pride in the quality of the food. The restaurant was very clean and had a great ambiance.

So it's good to see such a shop hidden away in this little plaza in Spartanburg. They don't skimp out on meat like everywhere else (my blood actually boils at subway when they pull out those ridiculous little proportioned tiny pieces of meat slithered between two dime bags) which is great, I mean just look at those portions. That is what I expect when paying good money for a sub. They're above average, have good service, excellent ambiance with their own personality to it but why not the fifth star? Because it's best getting your order to go. There is no bathroom inside for patrons. That is something I never forgive because if it's true that there is no bathroom then you're forcing your employees to have to walk to the closest one and if there is a bathroom then why can't paying customers who keep you in business use it? I'm not gonna sit down and halfway through a meal need to use the restroom and not be able to relieve myself, that's just crazy. Other than that I really have no other complaints that stand out. They're the perfect go to for your work lunch or dinner grab on the way home. Just don't dine in unless it's your #3 stop after #1 and #2, if you know what I mean...
