    We returned to try other items on the menu... I ordered the Tri-Fecta, with Blueberry Pancake, Chicken Sausage & Scrambled Eggs...and my husband ordered Florentine Eggs Benedict. My husband seemed a bit underwhelmed with his Benedict (especially since the last one he had was at Snooze A.M. in Charlotte (a Masterpiece version!), but I was happy with my meal. I've always liked their generous, buttery Blueberry Pancake...and especially enjoyed trying their tasty Chicken Sausage Patties (my first time trying a chicken sausage)! The place could use a bit more color, but overall, I like the comfy ambiance...and good overhead playing too (Maroon 5!). So glad Rock Hill has this...as it's in dire need of good breakfast joints. Bound to return again!

    We came in on a Sunday before our tournament. At 11am it was pretty busy. There were only 2 of us so we were able to catch seating at the bar area. Our waitress greeted almost immediately, took our drinks & our food order. Always be ready in a busy place! The 1st time I have had the Floridan French Toast, WOW! I absolutely recommend it 100%! The Berry Booster drink also tasted nice & refreshing. Everything was pretty good with a good experience. The staff was all super friendly & our waitress was top notch! My daughter also wants to give a shout out to the kitchen for a wonderful meal!

    Avocado toast

    Super disappointed in the avocado toast. It's a soggy mess and hard to eat, absolutely way too much avocado.

    This is our favorite place to go for breakfast on the weekend! Erica is always a pleasure! The food is delicious and we always leave happy and satisfied!

    Came for lunch with my mom and they had decent food. Atmosphere was nice and staff was very nice and attentive. This place makes everything with healthy ingredients. My burrito was tasty but had some ingredients in it that didn't mesh well and potatoes were very good. Overall it was okay and may try again for other items

    Got in around noon on a Saturday it wasn't too busy. A hostess held open the door for us and we got seated immediately at a table for 2. Michaela, our server, was nice and brought our food out in a timely manner. The interior is nice and clean and so were the bathrooms. There's about 4 I think and they're all gender neutral single rooms. Our food was good about usual for a breakfast place although our potatoes could've been cooked a little longer and it had a smokey aroma but it wasn't a problem. We ate all our food without any food to go. Coffee was $3.99. $7.49 for a singular carrot cake pancake and $13 for the farmhouse hash. A bit pricey for one pancake but it was tasty. Nice little addition for Cherry Rd. I can see it doing very well here.

    Delicious Coffee!

    On a travel day for us and while checking out what was around us for dinner saw that First Watch was just a half mile from us...fantastic way to start the new day off! We got there are were expecting a long wait as they are always busy...to our surprise we were just one of like five tables...found they are brand new to the area and are a best kept secret! Service, Food and location were excellent! Hurry before they are discovered!

    Our server was nice. Service was a bit slow but no big deal. Food was very mediocre. Something to note on their seasonal coffee drinks: Do NOT get the mint mocha. It tasted like straight mint syrup. The caramel one was fine just a bit too sweet (would have been so good with less honey).

    Excellent service today & had a nice big booth to myself. Food was good but thinking about a classic breakfast dish next go-round.

    Omelette and salad

    Great food & fast service. Our waitress was extremely nice. This was our first visit but we will be back!

    Brandy was our server and this was our first time visiting and she kept that in mind while serving…read more We were seated at a table about midway down the counter against the wall. It was a little dark though it was more quiet than the sunlit front. I ordered the Old Town Cobb and my husband ordered the Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf and a Caesar salad. The focaccia croutons in the salad were out of this world delicious and different. Their flavor of the croutons burst in our mouth. The meatloaf's presentation was superb. Hubby said he would order meatloaf again. I had a bite and it was crispy and smoky tasting. My husband ordered 2 beers and the bill was under $50 which we thought was a good value. Pros: water served in glass tumblers. Menu is very creative. Food is really delicious. Location. Plenty of other spots to grab a coffee, tea or hot chocolate while walking around Main Street after eating. Cons: tomatoes under ripe in Cobb salad. Caesar salad dressing was more sweet than anticipated. Depending when you come, parking will be challenging if a person is unable to walk. Parking is generally plentiful around downtown Rock Hill within a short walk. Verdict: Both dishes were good. Would come back and would order them again.

    Kounter is a modernize restaurant that seems to be a renovation of an older soda jerk counter…read more Friendly welcoming and attentive staff . On the menu for today I chose the Blue plate Special ($23) OG, bacon wrapped meatloaf, swirl potatoes, veggie du jour, stewed, collards, steakhouse, vinaigrette, cilantro Crema. The dish was Tender medallions of meatloaf, wrapped in savory bacon. Topped with a steakhouse vinaigrette, tangy, and savory, which had an amazing flavor by itself, I just wish it added more to the main. Which was slightly bland. Unfortunately, this cilantro Crema had no hints of cilantro. The actual star of the show is the collard greens. The Collard greens has a subtle kick, which is amazing and flavorful, and gives that little extra punch. Hand slammed fries ($5) Parmesan - rosemary dusted, roasted tomato malt vinaigrette. Tasty especially with their house made ketchup, but unfortunately, the fries were a little on the soggy side. And a Blake's cider (5). crisp and refreshing. Perfect for a southern Carolina afternoon. Overall, food was delicious, but could use just a hint of attentions to flavor. I would definitely recommend you give Kounter a try. I would love to come back here again and try some more of their menu. Follow me on Yelp and Instagram @noodlesoupr as I travel the world in search of delicious food encounters.

    We arrived at an odd hour, hungry and tired from a day of driving from early morning until about 3…read morepm. We were a little confused as to how to enter the restaurant, but I chalk that up to being tired. The space is wide open and airy, with large windows and skylights. The restaurant was nice and clean, save for something that was splashed on the wall in our booth - but it's a restaurant. There's going to be little picky things here and there and I'm sure it was wiped down by the end of the day! Our hostess was also our server and she was so knowledgeable about the menu. I took her suggestions at every turn and did not regret it. We started off with the Bang Bang Brussels Sprouts app and let me tell you - I could've eaten that as my entire meal. They are SO delicious and I'll be dreaming of them until I can return to Rock Hill. Holy cow, they were good - crispy on the outside, loaded with flavor and just enough spice to give the sweetness a little bite. So good. My husband had the country fried steak and he said it was very good. Not the best he's ever had, he said, but good enough. He wished there'd been more steak and less crust, but the flavor was right on. They were out of the salt and pepper flounder, so I changed my order to the ranch chicken. Ummmm....excuse me. Who says not to order chicken breasts at restaurants? The portion size is SO generous and the chicken is SO DELICIOUS that I, the girl who rarely bothers to take leftovers, boxed up what was left and brought it back to my hotel and ate it as a midnight snack. The grilled zucchini served on the side of it was delicious. If I ever get back, I'll ask if I can skip the potatoes in favor of more of that zucchini! We didn't really have room for dessert, but when we heard about the warm banana pudding, we were curious. DO NOT SKIP THIS DESSERT. If you're a banana pudding fan, this will blow your mind. Absolutely incredible! It's both warm and cool at the same time, caramelized bananas and a torched meringue topping were bowl-licking delicious. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

    Old Town Kitchen & Cocktails in Rock Hill was such a great find and definitely earned a spot on our…read more"we'll be back" list! We started things off with the Louisiana Shrimp Toast and the Bang Bang Brussels Sprouts--both packed with so much flavor and the perfect way to kick off dinner. We also had to take advantage of their $2 frosé, which was absolutely perfect for these warmer days. For my entrée, I went with the Parmesan Ranch Chicken served with the most perfect mashed potatoes--comfort food at its finest. My husband ordered the Salt and Pepper Fried Tilapia with grits, topped with the most delicious tomato stew that had us both sneaking bites from each other's plates. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we already know we'll be back... because I still need a slice of that peach cheesecake! If you're in Rock Hill and looking for your next dinner spot, this one is definitely worth the visit!

It was a bit chilly so we sat inside even though the outside patio was heated. It was a good choice because it was a little breezy. We shared the okra as an appetizer, it was as good as I remembered! They had a special which we both decided was good, surf & turf with NY strip and lobster tail. I also brought a bottle of Freixnet Cordon Negra which was so good!

Waitress just didn't follow up. My water sat unrefilled for a long time. Fried okra didn't taste like okra - but that suited a few of the party. But a few of us expected okra flavor only to be disappointed. Temp on the fried green tomatoes should have been warmer but overall it was very tasty. Our appetizer empty plates sat for a while - we even stacked them so it was clear they should be cleared. Ordered the salmon, which was good, but so did my mom. We ordered different temps and they couldn't tell which was which. Wife ordered a salad and for the price, there was barely anything there. Mac and cheese is still the star. Oysters were decent - I expected larger. The half chicken was a generous portion - nice crispy outside but a bit dry inside. I wouldn't order it (I almost did, but my one of our party did). One of our party ordered a stuffed leeks and it was so salty it was inedible. They did fix it and admitted it should have never left the kitchen. By the time the replacement came out it was after 6:05 (and they had to leave at 6:15). So they didn't get to eat their celebratory meal with the rest of us. Not the memory you want for a meal. Desserts were good. Tort was dense - honestly not sure if that's normal. Crème brûlée was very good. For a $400+ experience and our history with Pump House, I expected more.
