    Was excited to try this place after hearing about it and seeing all the buzz around it. We were in the area looking for a place that served food late. Was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. My drink was watered down first off, secondly the food was underwhelming. Nachos were okay and fish n chips were salty Cute vibe which is the only thing it really had going for it Will not be back!!!

    Stopped by for a quick drink after riding our bikes around downtown. I liked they that had a small outdoor bar seating area right on the street while we had our bikes parked off to the side where we could see them. They had some good HH options for food and drinks but we just had a couple drinks. Hubby got a mango spritz and they had several unique seltzer options so I got one made with coconut water. Seems like it could be a fun place to go to at night and probably gets pretty busy. They had a decent number of people sitting inside of the bar and we wanted to check out the rooftop before we left. It was very spacious and not super busy when we went on a Monday. We didn't get to try any of the food but we would come back and check it out since it was a quick but good experience.

    We searched on Yelp for a lunch restaurant and ended up choosing this establishment. It was almost 2 pm so we missed the lunch rush if there was a crowd because the only folks left were seated at the bar. They had two different games of the NCAA basketball tournament on their screens so that was nice. I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Tacos. My granddaughter ordered the Steak Sandwich and my sister ordered the Ivy House salad. The tacos were good but just a tad too spicy for me. I managed to eat one and a half of the three served. The steak sandwich was really good since I ended up eating half of it because the granddaughter is dieting and the sandwich was big. The salad was also big and good enough to take the leftovers with us. Our server offered to change the channel from daytime TV on the screen closest to us to a basketball game since I was having trouble seeing the Purdue game at the far end of the bar. But both our server and the hostess couldn't find the channel. The bartender should have assisted them since business was slow. We got lucky and found a street parking place directly across the street. It's kind of hit or miss in this neighborhood. Some blocks had plenty of empty parking spaces while others were more crowded.

    Found this gem on a side street. Temps were perfect to enjoy patio seating. We were there after lunch rush and before dinner crowds so no wait to be seated. Food was phenomenal. Waitress was personable and attentive. Vibe was cool.

    Superb service with professionalism poise and grace from Jordan!!! Delicious lunch with Cajun shrimp street tacos and fried cod tacos. Very tasty with the sauce. Love their food. They have a great menu selections.

    Had lunch here after my son's college graduation. What a super cute restaurant! Love the open garage door walls that allowed you to see outside while you eat. They have a rooftop portion but we opted for the inside. Rayna was our server and she could not have been any nicer, attentive to all our needs offering great meal suggestions. We had the smoked artichoke dip to start along with fried pickles. Both were awesome. Several of us had the pimento cheese and peppered bacon burger. 10/10! The Santa Fe salad was the best of all! Definitely highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Greenville area.

    1.80 just for asking for a substitute

    I ordered the grilled chicken with rice and asked to substitute the broccoli with the potatoes. They did not. When I pointed it out, they literally brought over a sauce plate for me to scrape the broccoli off of my plate and they never brought me the rice. Evidently, I was upcharged a 1.80 just for asking for a change since no change was actually made. Ridiculous way to treat customers.

    Awesome views for brunch and Im sure its even better at night! The bugs tried to bother me but I didnt allow them to funk up my time. The food was delicious! I never would have thought to pair salmon on top of a waffle.

    Visiting Greenville in September, and the western was great, so we had to find a rooftop. Their rooftop opened at 1pm, but the main restaurant area was opened earlier. We arrived 5-10 minutes before so we had to wait a little while but not very long. The hostess seemed like her mind was somewhere else, but everyone else was very attentive and hospitable. We had already eaten brunch, so we just wanted to enjoy some cocktails and a nice view and vibe, and this was the perfect spot for it. A few more people came to the rooftop after we did. We sat at the bar, and some good conversations. Enjoyed the view. Ink n Ivy is the list to visit when we return to Greenville.

I had the Up In the Air. I'm more sensitive to sweetness than most, so even though our waiter said it wasn't particularly sweet, I asked them to cut the sweetness further and they accommodated it without issue. My friend had the Ginger's Have More Fun, made with their own house ginger liqueur instead of ginger beer. It wasn't overly syrupy, but the syrup notes were present enough to undercut what could've otherwise been a more refreshing drink. We split the Nacho Average Nachos. It was great for picking at while we chatted and had a good concept, with a solid mix of pickled toppings, rich queso, and protein, and chips that held up fine (no sogginess). The execution didn't rise above the idea. It was a fine, forgettable plate rather than a memorable one. Good portion for two, though. Overall, a nice spot for golden hour drinks if you're already in the area, but not somewhere I'd make a specific trip for.

It is found tucked behind the building with only a small, letter-sized paper sign marking the entrance. No flashy signage, no obvious storefront, which adds to the appeal if you're into that kind of hunt. Walking up to it late at night can be a little intimidating but it is well lit which I greatly appreciated! Once inside, the space is dimly lit and small, which makes for a genuinely intimate setting. I'd say it's good for a quieter, more conversational vibe rather than a loud night out. We went with the bartender's choice: pick a base liquor, then two words to describe what you're after. I went with vodka and "slightly sweet, refreshing," for $18. The bartender nailed the brief but it wasn't a drink I'd think about again or specifically order by name. Solid execution, forgettable flavor. Service was the real standout. Our bartender was excellent at walking us through the concept and translating vague requests into something that actually worked. That, plus the atmosphere, is enough to bring me back to see what else is on the menu since we made it there just in time for last call so I ended up only having one drink.

One bartender (with a nose piercing) yelled at my brother-in-law for placing a small piece of paper behind the bar because there was no trash can near the dart area. When my brother asked if he would have preferred it be thrown on the floor, the bartender replied, "Actually, yes." It was a clear no-win situation. The overall tone from the staff felt aggressive and confrontational. Another bartender (with longer hair) made a comment to our group saying, "If that bitch blows her whistle again," using derogatory language toward women in our party. That level of disrespect is unacceptable. Because of the staff's behavior, we took our entire group, and our business, elsewhere and will not be returning. This experience left a very bad impression, and management should be aware of how their bartenders are representing the establishment.

There is a large outdoor seating area with plenty of TVs for all the sports needs! The beers with Yee-Haw are always a great selection with something for everyone. If beers are not your taste they also have additional wines and mixed drinks. I tried a Bloody Mary with a moonshine pickle and it hit the spot but was definitely spicy (just how I prefer).

The inside of the brewery was nice as well, although it didn't have as much seating as most of the other comparable breweries that I've been to. They did have one drink that I really liked, which was a Gatorade-flavored seltzer, which tasted great and canceled out the taste of alcohol excellently. On the other hand, I was slightly disappointed at their selection of beers, as they didn't have a particularly strong selection of IPAs, and the IPA that I did get was nothing special. Overall, I'd rate Yee-Haw as being a slightly above-average brewery, which was "good," but lacked anything that really blew me in comparison to the many other breweries that I've patronized.

Right by Fluor Field with a fun, lively vibe. We sat outside, which was clean, comfortable, and a great spot to hang out before an event. Service was fantastic. David, our server, was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, and really helped elevate the experience. For food, we started with the wings (dry rub and Jamaican jerk). The flavors were decent, but the wings themselves were rubbery and a bit underwhelming, especially considering the price point. One standout though... the ranch dressing. Easily some of the best I've had. The breakfast tacos were good overall, and the chimichurri was fresh and flavorful. I think adding a creamy component would have taken them up another level. The sweet potato fries were fantastic. The chicken and biscuit was decent. The Nashville-style chicken had good flavor, but the tenders were on the smaller side, making the portion feel a bit lacking. The biscuit itself was solid. The tallow fries were also well done, and the Lefty's sauce was a nice addition. One unique touch at the end. You're given the option to send a postcard, and they handle the postage and mailing for you. A really fun and memorable detail. Overall, a good spot with great service and atmosphere, though some of the food execution and portion sizes could be improved.
