He Said: After a less-than-favorite visit nearby we rallied and popped in to Cribbs after 8pm. This was great timing as there were bar seats open and things were winding down a bit after a packed dinner hour. That said, the atmosphere was great and there was no lull in service. They have a very good beer selection across the board and still had Celebration on tap in January. Sweet! The bartender (and beer orderer it seems) was awesome and great to chat with while he wasn't busy with others. A great experience all around. She Said: We ordered a cheesesteak to share with french fries on the side. The meat was nicely cooked, and Cribbs put their own mark on a classic cheesesteak by adding a slight barbecue flavor. The bun on which it was served was fresh and held up well throughout my meal. The mushrooms that we got on the side were tasty and firm. The french fries were really really good. They were crispy on the outside and creamy/potato-y on the inside. Potty Points: No trip to the potty for me this time. read more

Food was great and service was awesome. Atmosphere was chill and relaxed so it was an overall great experience!

I was in town for work and looking for a good place to have dinner. Yelp suggested this location and given that it had four out of five star reviews I decided to check it out. I arrived around 6 PM on a Thursday evening and was greeted promptly and seated in the bar area. The bartender, Bri, greeted me and explained their offerings to me. She was absolutely amazing! I never felt neglected or left out even though she was prepping drinks for the entire restaurant. I opted for the crispy brussels sprouts and the shrimp and grits. The brussels sprouts were delicious nice and crispy with blue cheese crumble and was delicious. The shrimp and grits were also really good. The grits were creamy and have a nice cheese flavoring to them but I really appreciated the spicy sauce the shrimp had been cooked in as it gave it a little bit of kick to go with the creaminess of the grits. read more

This burger hit the spot. It was delicious. It was so big my friend and I split it and still felt satisfied. The Parmesan fries where so good and the sweet potatoes fries were amazing. We sat outside in the shade. It was pleasant except the flies liked our food more than we did. It was neat that they had an outdoor wash station. We would definitely return to this restaurant. read more

Let me start by saying that the one star rating isn't based on the quality of the food, but moreso the service and overall functionality of the restaurant as a whole. We had a group of three who came in around 1pm for lunch on. Saturday. We were working a basketball tournament and were taking our lunch breakand needed to be to another gym by 2:15 (it was 15 min drive). The restaurant was busy, but not THAT busy, as we were seated immediately. We ordered two burgers and a salad, with both of the burgers being cooked medium. With my two friends and I all having previously worked in industry as servers/bartenders, we know that times can get busy. This, however, was beyond belief. As it approaches a 40 minute ticket time, we had to ask our server what was going on. He went to "check" and gave us zero explanation while not seeming to be too concerned about us having to go back to work. He then had a female manager come over to give an insincere apology to us, but we weren't offered an appetizer or anything and we had already surpassed 50 minutes by this point. At one hour, after seeing others who came after is being served before us, we'd had enough. We simply closed out our bill and tipped preemptively before receiving our food to do AS MUCH as we could to somewhat cue them to expedite the process. Finally, after an hour and 15 minutes, our food arrived. Burger was very good (4 stars), as were the parmesan fries. You can tell that they definitely tell that they use high quality ingredients and upon finally receiving the food, it was cooked to perfection. The reason that we will all not be returning is not just the absurdly low speed of service, but also the disingenuous behavior of the server/manager. Stuff like this happens. You can offer a discount, an appetizer, or simply better service to merely being top of refills. None of these happened and it was actually the inverse effect, as it seemed as if they avoided us until our food finally came out. This is absolutely why Cribb's lost three customers (two of which were quite loyal) and will lose every other one who asks us about them. read more

I'm going to do something I don't normally do and give a place a five. The flank steak, a special, was phenomenal! It had texture, flavor and a kick to it! The asparagus was perfectly prepared, not soggy, not hard, and the potatoes were both crisp and not dry. It was actually cooked the way I ordered it, something lots of places cannot seem to do. The place was slammed, but the service was spot on. The bartender and the backup server worked seamlessly and they were friendly and responsive. They didn't have the lost-in-the-sauce frenzy attitude that many servers do, which only stresses the customer out. The price was reasonable and I will definitely be back when I pass through Spartanburg again! read more

Third time dining here as we have a som who attends Wofford College. The third time was unfortunately not the charm. The appetizers were the best part of what we ordered. The cheese fritters were excellent and came out piping hot. Our usual favorite, the brussel sprouts, came out cold as did the house made chips with cheese dip. The chips tasted stale and the dip had zero warmth to it. We were so hungry and did not have the energy to complain so we just ate the cold appetizers. That was the best part of the meal. Our burgers and sandwiches that came out did not taste good and none of us liked what we ordered except for the pastrami sandwich my husband ordered. While my husband was finishing up with signing the bill, I decided to nicely share our experience with our waiter who was an excellent server. He looked horrified and was so apologetic. He insisted on going to tell the manager, but I told him I purposely waited until my husband paid the $180 bill to tell him about our experience as I wasn't wanting anything for free, I sincerely just wanted them to know. I saw this waiter go and tell the manager, and she let us leave without saying one word to us. That is all I needed to decide that we will never come back to Cribbs. An acknowledgement and an apology cost nothing and would ensure guests not leave with a bad taste in their mouth. So now we are headed back to Atlanta with stomachs hurting and wishing we would have listened to all the locals who told us not to go to Cribbs to eat. Disappointed. Do better Cribbs. read more

Came here for late dinner on a Tuesday night. It wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. Service was top notch the night we came - we had Josh and he was fantastic. I had ordered my usual, Spring Street with potato salad. I will say that the potato salad doesn't look to be the same as it used to be and there weren't many potatoes in my serving. It still tasted good but wished I had more potatoes in mine as it was mainly onions and I believe celery? The sandwich was delicious and I was happy with my side of pickles too read more

This is a good find. We drove down to Spartanburg to transfer some animal shelter kittens to a kitten placement group and were hungry. Locals said to go downtown to Cribbs. Nice clean place with lots to offer. This was a Sunday, so it had a lot of college aged and post-college adults drinking cocktails and eating munchies in small groups. It looked good and was. College co-ed wait staff who are awfully nice and courteous. Old South style, very comfortable. Very fine menu. Lots of burgers with funny names. I ordered a Mr. Fun Guy ($13). Very large fat burger and I ate it all. Waitress (Rachel H.) was surprised...well I was, too. Wife had their smoked potato salad ($3) and an order of fried green tomatoes ($9). It was all good with endless iced tea, of course. Like a 1950s diner, but all inside with outside seating. Nice place to hang out. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Cribbs, which is a Spartanburg institution (or was). I'm sorry to report that, like many Spartanburg institutions, this place seems to have gone downhill. We ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer, an easy dish for a southern eatery, but they managed to screw it up. They lay the eggs (very small, local sourced eggs) in what amounts to a vat of chimichurri sauce, which completely wrecks the flavor of the deviled egg. I agree with them that they are "not Grandma's deviled eggs." I ventured away from past favorites to order the $20 Ribeye Sandwich, and what arrived at the table was just an utter disaster of a sandwich. First it was too big, there's no way to eat it without taking it apart. Secondly, the smoke flavor was too overpowering, almost like it was doused in "liquid smoke" to get the smoke flavor. Thirdly, it is sitting on a bed of arugula and something else that literally made me gag when I took a bite of the sandwich. It was legit terrible, and has left me feeling a bit sick. Lastly, the "crispy" onions became a melted mess into what was just an utter disaster of a sandwich. The waitress did offer to swap it out but I said no. I was not offered my money back ($18 for the monstrosity). My kids enjoyed their burgers, however 2 of them ordered egg on top, and the egg came overcooked and not runny whatsoever, a staple of any good "crowned" burger. All of our fries were not great, half were overcooked. The fries were disappointing because they have been a staple of this Spartanburg institution. It pains me to leave such a negative review of what's been a go-to in Spartanburg, but simply too much was wrong for it to be an off night. read more

I hate to leave a bad review. If you only order fries an a desert, they fries should be fresh out the fryer. My fries was warm and you can tell they was cooked maybe a hour ago.

We had occasion to visit Spartanburg recently and I looked around on Yelp for a lunch recommendation, landing here. It was a pleasant Saturday and we chose to eat at one of the outdoor tables. That part was pleasant until the motorcycles come by rumbling and music blaring and then we found out that on the first Saturday of each month at 1:00PM they test the local emergency "siren" for several minutes. Not a fault of Cribbs, but just good information to know. They have a great draft beer selection and several craft cocktails. I was just here for a beer and a burger. The burger I chose was the Jalapeno Popper which is the 2018 Cribb's Burger Cook Off Winner and consists of a roasted jalapeño, frizzled onion, three cheese blend, lettuce, tomato, spicy mayo, burger patty and brioche bun. This was a good burger, but quite large and really not easily eaten by hand without using a knife and fork. I generally prefer condiments to cover the burger (like another jalapeno instead of just one). It was $13.95 for this burger and a side of Parmesan fries. The fries were spot on, very crisp and flavorful. I accompanied the burger with a draft beer. Only later did I find out that the 16 ounce "Shower Beer" out of Virginia (Czech style pilsner) was $7.50. Thankfully I only ordered one! The food was good, but consider a draft beer, a burger and fries and we are at $21.45 without tax or tip. Times two because it was my wife and I both dining. It was good, but not *that* good. read more

Order: Mac & cheese Side garden salad with vinaigrette Fried green tomatoes The mac & cheese was good but something about the cheeses tasted processed. Some makeup points for having chopped pecans & bacon on top to add texture. The fries green tomatoes were unique because they were stuffed with cheese and other ingredients. Loved the textures of this dish as well. Verdict: The food I had was good but not as great as they sounded on the menu. Most things on the menu sounded tasty af since each item had a unique spin to it. The dishes are filling and the prices are very fair. Note: their parking lot is mad small so you may have to park on the street read more

Found everything to be average. Parking was not great but also not the worst. Service was slow and all of the employee we came in contact with were not very friendly. Good beer list. We started with the pimento cheese fritters and they were good. We each had a burger and found them to be average, nothing special or unique about them. Not worth the hype. read more

We had the absolute best experience here. From the instant we walked in, the service was exceptionally friendly and attentive. We love the outdoor patio area, and better still is the menu. Not only does Cribbs have the best burgers in the Upstate, but they serve a really great selection of comfort food favorites with a twist. The pimento cheese fritters are irresistible, I love seeing a play on a Cuban with smoked pork, and I'm glad our server recommended the cheesecake for dessert. I'm normally not even into cheesecake, but this was to die for. This was our first visit, and we'll definitely be back again soon. read more

Cribbs Kitchen gets 5 stars for the food and the service. They went out of their way to accommodate us with outside dining with our dogs while their patio was booked by a company for an event. Then there's the food. Absolutely delicious. I had the Shrimp and Grits based on our server's recommendation. It may be the best I've ever had. The other two people in our party both ordered the Pear Salad and raved about how good it was. For dessert we had the Cheesecake, and it was also amazing. We drove one hour from Travelers Rest SC and it was worth every mile. (Actually we drove from Texas, and it was worth a lot of those miles as well!) read more

Horrible service and the food is ok. The ambiance was ok and the cost was a little high for what we got.

What more can I say.. food - delicious.. service on point! We both had salads today and they were plentiful and prepared perfect! We shared my favorite appetizer of pimento cheese balls that were prepared fried to perfection!! I could eat those everyday! The Cribb family just knows how to do it right! Thankful they are in Spartanburg! read more

Oh boy did this hit the spot after traveling a whole day on the road having fast food and then coming to Cribbs, a place we haven't tried in Spartanburg. We came with 6 hungry boys and my second son ate with a little help a whole rack of ribs. He said it was quite tasty. Our server Andrew was wonderful and took our order promptly and kept refilling drinks. Their fried chicken was as expected--delicious. Their cornbread was memorable. My husband orders deviled eggs no matter what if they are offered on the menu. He gave it a thumbs up. read more

Those brussel sprouts were freaking to die for. Dare I say, the best I've ever had. Fried crispy with a balsamic glaze with fresh bacon bits and the blue cheese really added an additional layer. I licked the cast iron clean. No shame. All of us were super happy with our food. I had the fried chicken sandwich and, I'm just going to say it DAAAAAAAMN. It was light batter and crispiness with some yummy pickles. Mostly I wish I bought like three more plates fo the brussel sprouts though... read more

This was our first time. We went based on Yelp and Eater reviews. Our experience was "meh." Two of us ordered our burgers medium rare. Both were way overcooked when delivered. Pretty much well-done. One of us ordered the smash burger, but that isn't really what was delivered. It was just two thinner patties (a double burger). One of us had a salad and said it was good, but not exceptional. The pimento cheese balls were very nice. The service was weak. Bottom Line? It satisfied our needs but not well enough to return for another visit. read more

Food wasn't very good. The entire experience wasn't great. My fiancé and I just moved here and are trying to experience and try all new places. This place wasn't anything special and I wouldn't recommend. The service was okay. The theme I don't understand. They have the bar and tvs but have the kitchen shown to the floor like in fine dining. The food was below average. I had the pastrami. I would recommend going to smoking butts instead. read more
