It all looks really good and is a great size serving. But personally, I feel like the burgers and sandwiches are lacking seasoning. Don't get me wrong, you definitely taste the beefy-ness of the patty's and the meats, but I find myself having to add mayonnaise, ketchup, and salt and pepper on the patties and fries. I've been here 4 times, the 1st and 2nd times were not like that, but my 3rd and 4th were. Service was good, order at the counter then take a seat where you'd like and they'll bring it out.

A shame to hear they are not renewing their lease and will be closing. The owner told me they are opening a different style place downtown and may re-open a place like the current joint in the east side but it will be a while. Really unfortunate as the burgers here are top shelf. I had to try both a dog and a burger - both Carolina style. Their chili is amazing so it really set both the dog and burger off. I added grilled onions to the burger and they were cooked perfectly. The fries are fresh cut and flavorful but they are cut very small. One recommendation to the owner, go to a more substantial fry. I highly highly recommend this place. Get in here before they close!!

I stumbled upon Chef Ae's restaurant in Spartanburg and was pleasantly surprised by the diverse menu options. They offered both authentic Thai cuisine and delicious burgers for those not in the mood for Thai food. The Panang curry, green curry, burger, mango and rice pudding, and cake were all absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the french fries were a must-try. The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, Chef Ae's exceeded expectations and we will definitely be returning. read more

My oblesico pepitos was full of steak, chicken bacon and cheese. It seemed to be missing some flavor and sauce. It was just meat and cheese. For a side I got loaded fries with cheese sauce and bacon bits. The cheese tasted like it came out of a can and the bacon was more like bacon bits than real bacon. I ate the contents of the pepitos with a fork and skipped the bread. They had an interesting menu. I wish I would have reviewed the Yelp reviews before deciding on the pepitos. Thanks!

The Greer Diner Greer, South Carolina…read more My wife, son, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and I tried the newly opened Greer Diner on Trade Street (formally the three-generation family-owned restaurant "Cannon's"). They aren't a month old yet having opened December 19, 2025. They had heard about this fried bologna sandwich and they wanted to try it. Being a Chicago Yankee, I passed whole-heartedly. Just over the tracks from the brick-paved Trade Street of Downtown Greer, sits a little red brick building with a long front porch. Corner lot number 409 Trade Street. Up the ramp are several old style picnic tables. Inside are two rooms of booths on the left, an old fashioned bar with eight stools in the middle, and a few side tables on the right. The walls are fresh and white. Other than a retro-vintage 50's style logo on a wall complete with script font, I don't recall any other decor. We were welcomed as soon as we stepped in from the staff behind the bar running about making food. The Sunday evening crowd was hopping. My wife, her sister, and our brother-in-law all got the fried bologna sandwich. To quote my sister-in-law, "I loved the concept of it. It was pretty good!" She also did a to-go order of veggies (fried okra, creamed corn, mashed potatoes) and they were good too. The sandwich was a good sized portion with shaved pieces of bologna, house-smoked and grilled, with American cheese, country hearth white bread, mustard, lettuce, and covered with BBQ chips! Meaty, hearty, juicy, charred in places, and crisp-crunchy! Served in a little basket with that faux newsprint. Adorable. My son got the smash burger and said it was a good choice, he did the double patty, so it was a sizable sandwich. All four of them upgraded to fries, extra crispy. I tried a few of them and they were fine. I got the Calabash Chicken Basket. I decent-sized portion of tender and juicy chunks of chicken in a peppery breading, fried just right. It comes with Texas toast, so I made one chicken chunk into a sammie. My side was mac & cheese. Definitely home-made. A little tough, needed more cheddar cheese to cover all the elbow noodles. But definitely a throw back to the old Fatz Calabash chicken taste. The wait was a little longer than expected, but the waitress couldn't have been nicer. Constantly coming by to refill all of our drinks and at the end, sent us off with to-go refills. I love that. I saw on their Facebook page fixings for ice cream and/or shakes, but I didn't see that on the menu. I want to go back and try the shrimp, fish & chips, Nashville Hot, and the chili. The jumbo wings sound good too, and at just over $1 a wing, it's workable (remember when wings were cheap give-aways at 25¢ each?). Oh, and the onion rings look great. It's definitely a quality mid-century dinner that could have appeared in "American Graffiti." And this close to the glut of high-priced eateries of downtown, this one is a casual, affordable choice.
