The food is otherworldly delicious!!! Service is outstanding and it's a lovely bar/restaurant environment. Not loud and obnoxious, it's a calm atmosphere and they do have sports channels going. I really enjoy this restaurant and highly recommend it! read more

Great open space. They seemed to be short staffed so getting seated took a while. Hamburger was cooked perfectly but it needed a bit more seasoning. Fries were very hot and excellent read more

Anderson has some surprises. Nice venue. Had lunch. Solid food. Easy parking. Service was nice. No real issues.

Came here last night before a concert. Such a cute little spot in downtown Anderson. I ordered the fried chicken and my friend had the shrimp and grits. By the time we left, the place was packed and full of laughter. Nice little place to stop if you are in Anderson. A friend from the area recommended it. read more

We've been a few times now and I'm just now getting around to writing a review. Being from Atlanta, this is a spot that would do very well in the Atlanta foodie scene. The food is outstanding! I meant to review it the first couple of times we went but I'm almost glad I didn't so I can speak to it's consistently great food and service. The interior is decorated with really fun and vibrant artwork. The patio is under a bridge so it stays and cool even on warmer days where the sun would typically be beating down in a way umbrellas could never. Definitely check this place out if you haven't. Whether you're looking for something simple like a burger or dishes that rival 5 star dining, you'll find it here; so good in fact you may even want to kiss the chef! read more

This is a great pub style restaurant right up underneath an overpass in Anderson. Such a creative spot and the food options are numerous and very well prepared. This would be a fun place to hang out after work or even for a work meeting. Great date night option as well. Very open environment with a nostalgic feel. The staff were so friendly that it made me wanna come back again. A great local non-chain restaurant with excellent food. read more

Great service and great food for the price. Also perfect spot for a date night or special occasion.

This was a first-time visit after searching for restaurants in Anderson, S.C. While I know Anderson fairly well, I was looking for a new place to try out. Earle Street Kitchen & Bar did not disappoint. Started with the Fried Pickles. I am a fan of fried pickles but prefer sliced pickles to spears. The fried pickles served here are spears, so Earle Street had that hurdle to overcome. They definitely succeeded. The spears were medium-sided and held the light coat of breading fairly well. Not perfect, but enough not to be a major issue. The sauce served with them paired well with the pickles. Despite my preference for sliced fried pickles, I would have no problem ordering these again. The dinner menu has a few things that look interesting to me, but for my first visit I chose the Shrimp & Grits. According to the description on the menu, this dish consists of "three cheese grits topped with a creole cream sauce, blackened Mahi Mahi and shrimp, fresh tomatoes and scallions." This is another risky choice for me. I am a culinary school graduate and have always boasted that my shrimp and grits was the best there is. I actually think I like these better. First, the eye appeal to this dish is amazing. The colors pop, and the items are arranged thoughtfully. Because of this, I immediately grabbed my phone for a picture (posted below). The grits are well balanced in flavor and have a perfect grits consistency (Which is somewhere midway between runny and firm. Anyone who is a true grits fan knows what I am talking about.). They are cheesy but not overbearingly so. The six medium-sized shrimp were seasoned and grilled perfectly, as was the three pieces of mahi-mahi. I admit I did miss the andouille sausage which is common for this dish but the combination of shrimp and white fish was a very interesting take on this Low Country (South Carolina) classic dish. For dessert I had the salted caramel cheesecake. This was the only part of the meal I thought was lacking. Was it good... yes. Was it as good as the first two courses? Therein lies the problem. It seems dessert (at least the cheesecake) is an afterthought, most likely not made in-house like the rest of the dishes I sampled. Honestly, I thought the salt and caramel flavors were muted in this dish. Maybe other dishes on the dessert menu are made in-house and would be better... but definitely not this cheesecake. I would probably skip dessert in the future because I do not want a letdown after such an amazing entrée. Even though it fell short of my expectation, I chose not to deduct a point for the dessert. Let's talk about service. We were fortunate enough to get Gracie B as our server and she proved to be at the top of her game. She was knowledgeable about the menu, never left us wanting, and has a very pleasant personality as well. Gracie is truly an asset to this restaurant and anyone who dines there would be lucky to have her wait their table. Will I return? I really do not think this question needs to be answered. The only real question remaining is, "What will I order as my entrée next time?" read more

Amazing little gem in Anderson, SC. Came here from North Georgia for a dinner with a work colleague. We came right at 4pm when they opened for dinner and closed the place down. We had 3 course meal. * Shrimp and Grits - very good and over all very flavorful, yet my mahi mahi was on the smaller size. * Jalapeño corn was superb * Herb Salmon is a must eat * Peach Cobbler was everything, warm, gooey, and the best thing to close out our meal. They also have a catering/ events hall. Staff was perfectly attentive and water was always full. The decor is very fitting and they also have outside seating under the highway bridge. read more

My wife and I happened into this wonderful gastro pub on Friday 12/27/24 after a long day at the Toyota service dealership. What a great experience. We ate at the bar. Excellent Pittsburgh's Sandwich. Delicious. My wife had the chicken sandwich with Southern green beans that were outta this world too. Super atmosphere with old school funky soul music, unique local artwork, beautifully clean bathrooms, and friendly welcoming service. The chef came out and introduced himself when serving our food too. Nice touch! Highly recommend it! read more

We came in on a Saturday night based on the positive reviews. The place was packed. We were told it would be a thirty minute wait for a party of three. Fortunately we were able to snag some chairs to sit in while we waited. The bar area was packed and there was no room for us there. The inside is very cool and open. I love the exposed brick on the inside. It actually took closer to 40 minutes before we were seated. Our waiter was Matthew J. He came right over and greeted us and got our drink orders. Since it was our first time here he gave us some suggestions on the menu. He highly recommended the chicken fried chicken and said it is their most popular menu item. My husband and I both went with that and my son ordered the chicken and waffles. It probably took another 30 minutes before our meals came out. Everything was nice and hot and the portions were large. It is very rare to hear my husband raving about a meal but he repeatedly talked about how much he loved the Chicken Fried Chicken. The chicken was nice and crunchy. The added flavor of the goat cheese in the mashed potatoes was yummy. The green beans had chopped bacon on them and had a slight bite to the flavor. Really really good. My son loved his chicken and waffles. He said the waffles were light and airy and the flavor of the chicken was delicious. Matthew checked on us frequently and made sure we were well taken care of. He was wonderful. We will definitely be back soon. We've found a winner here. read more
