    Earle Street kitchen and bar located on, wait for it, Earle Street in downtown Anderson. We went for brunch on a Sunday, no reservations unless party of 10. We all chose buffet, this day was chicken & waffle, ham, fried chicken, roast beef, Salisbury steak, salad, squash casserole, biscuit, collard greens, black eyed peas, omelette made-to-order, peach cobbler, banana pudding, chocolate cake. The food was magnificent especially omelette at price point of $20.95. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Anderson, come visit yourself

    I love their specialty cocktails, and scratch made food! Music is good and the desserts are amazing, especially the caramel cheesecake! Yummy!

    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!

    Earle Street Shrimp & Grits

    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?"

    Had the black and blue salad and it was amazing! My husband loves the shrimp and grits.

    Get the snickerdoodle craft cocktail

    Go here for the BEST craft cocktails!! Had a snickerdoodle martini and it blew-my-mind! Seriously the best cocktail ever! So refreshing and tasty! Loved the country fried chicken and green beans too and ate the extras for breakfast. Very generous portion and prices! Cool vibe and place with a lot of space and hidden back room great for large parties! Good service and no extra automatic fee for a large party.

As we walked up the stairs from Wren Park we decided to stop in for a bite at Doolittles. Sitting on the patio on such a lovely evening next to the water fountain was so nice and relaxing while getting to meet some of the local neighbors. We are new in town and everyone is so friendly! Our server came out promptly and got us set up with menus and took our drink orders. There were several things on the menu I was torn over but decided on the Bourbon Chicken. My husband debated between the Fish & Chips or the Carolina Cuban, settling on the latter with the Sweet Corn Sauté. Neither disappointed. The Bourbon Chicken with broccoli and rice was delicious, although I would prefer maybe a little less sauce as it was almost a soup lol but I'd still order it again. My husband loved the Carolina Cuban. The flavors go so well together that even me not being a huge sandwich person would consider getting it on a future visit. The Sweet Corn Sauté was a nice compliment to the dish as well. Oh, and dinner was Gracie approved! She enjoyed her little bites of chicken, smoked pork and ham as well ;) And finally I want to give a shout out to our server Charlie! Her attentiveness and sweet personality played such an integral part in making our evening so great! Also I'd like to mention that we've been to Doolittles once before, just for drinks with friends after dinner at Maki. We had such a fun time that night! I wish I could remember our bartender's name but she's a freakin rock star. We had a blast!

It was overpowered by onions (not on menu as part of the dish) Waitress acted like "oh well". I guess she was too busy chatting at the bar to be bothered. First and last time there
