    Potato leek soup
    jackie a.

    It's a charming building and the chef is super friendly. Her food you can tell that she puts her passion and heart into the menu. We loved the potato leek soup/grilled cheese sandwich & my hubby had the pork shoulder Bahnmi sandwich. I would recommend to come to try and support local small businesses. You will NOT be disappointed.

    Service was great! Very sweet people here! The food was very disappointing and expensive for what you got. $4 for 5 onion rings. Two tiny egg rolls for $3 seriously disappointed. I keep saying this about Spartanburg, if you never had good food, eating crappy food will satisfy your taste buds. Hamburger was hard to mess up, however the pork bacon was cooked to the point I'd refer to as a dog chew. Coming back is not an option. My girlfriends fried rice was flavorless. Will not return... but I am a food snob.

    This place is a hidden gem! The burger was beyond expectations due to the double patties, wonderfully melty cheese, and crispy but not greasy onion rings

    Lunch special

    Just had another amazing meal at Chef AES. There's a new menu and my favorite dish has been eliminated. So we tried the lunch special which was roasted chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes with a mushroom gravy. Everything was delicious.

    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.

    Today I ordered food from this place and when my son went inside to get his food, he asked the…read moreserver can I order a pina Colada drink he told him he couldn't make it and just walked away from him. I was puzzled because this is not the first time that I've ordered a virgin drink and the server said no. I would've respected him more if he told my son give him a min if he was busy which is understandable not just blow him off and not say or do anything. When they learn to respect people more after they spend their money at their establishment maybe I'll return but I'll stay away for now poor service.

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!

Our drink orders were taken promptly, and when the drinks arrived, they also took our food order -- smooth and attentive service from start to finish. We started with the buffalo chicken dip with pimento cheese and pita bread, which was outstanding. The pita was perfectly toasted on the outside while staying warm and soft on the inside -- absolutely delicious. For our meals, I ordered the Down South Chicken Sandwich, and my girlfriend chose the Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich. Both were excellent. We cut them in half so we could try each other's, and honestly, I loved both. The flavors, freshness, and quality really stood out. I live in Greenville, and I would gladly make the 50-minute drive just to eat here again. Amazing food, friendly service, and a great overall experience. Highly recommend -- I'll definitely be back soon!

    Service was genuinely great. Our server was personable and worked hard to elevate an experience…read morethat didn't give them much to work with, which is why I tipped well above the check average. The food, though? You'd be better off grabbing a box of Spinx chicken and a tall boy. As for the atmosphere--just a few neon lights trying (and failing) to distract from the fact that what they call "hot" is barely lukewarm. Update for the owners response: We ordered the Flocking Hot sauce on our sandwich. What we received was essentially the no-heat sauce with a few pepper flakes sprinkled in. We even asked for extra sauce, assuming there had been a mistake in reading the ticket--but the ramekin was the same: no heat, just pepper flakes. It was mild enough that my children dipped their nuggets in it. Rather than becoming defensive, it may be more productive to address and rectify the consistency and accuracy issues being pointed out.

I wandered into Main Street Bar & Eatery for what was supposed to be a "quick bite between quotes." Instead, I became spiritually welded to a barstool while the TV blasted a man in flannel yeeting a chainsaw like it owed him money. And the fried pickles. Good grief. Those things ambushed me. One minute I'm thinking "I'll just have a snack," and the next I'm waist-deep in a basket of fried circles of temptation, crunching my way into oblivion while pretending to "work." My laptop was open, sure, but let's not lie to ourselves -- I got absolutely nothing done. I was too busy yelling advice at professional lumberjacks like I'd trained for this moment my whole life.

Suitcase Social Club™ stamp of approval: Earned.
