We came in for a birthday brunch and the food was delicious! The staff was attentive to our drinks & very kind. I'm not usually a huge grits fan, but this one is amazing! read more

I've never had a bad meal, Service, or left feeling anything but wonderful after a meal at Stella's. We've been in South Carolina for four years in Simpsonville and it is the quintessential delightful southern dinner spot. We take our friends here, and even though we've now moved to Cleveland South Carolina will be coming back once in a while to visit the spot we feel so fondly of, Stella's. read more

I stopped by Stella's Bistro while on a business trip in South Carolina and was looking for something local instead of a chain restaurant. I'm really glad I did. I tried their shrimp and grits, and it was excellent -- rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It felt like a great introduction to Southern comfort food done right. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. It was the kind of place where you can relax after a long day of travel or meetings and enjoy a really good meal. If you're in the area and want a solid local spot with great food and a welcoming atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend Stella's Bistro read more

Stella's is so good! The service was spot on! I went with a group of friends and we all enjoyed various appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The drinks were also perfect with the food. It was a great way to kickoff the Christmas season! read more

Chocolate peanut butter pie was rich and creamy! What a bomb I ordered fried okra to start. They are spear shaped and deep fried with buttermilk batter. The okras were ok but the aioli was great. I had shrimp and grits. They were tasty but a bit too salty for my taste. I also tried Salmon which was delicious. Today's special was bacon wrapped meatloaf. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. I liked the atmosphere and the decor was modern looking. I really liked the bar area and the wine wall. Overall, I enjoyed my southern food dining experience here. read more

I have enjoyed every meal I've had here. Sitting at the bar or a table, the service is remarkable. The menu changes which adds variety. They're locally sourced, so everything is fresh. read more

Great menu items and well prepared food. Check out the specials and wine pairings. Not always are the servers nice and friendly.

The very best restaurant in Simpsonville. The service is the best you will ever get. When it's time to order start with the meat and cheese board. When it's time for the main pick ANYTHING. I have had about everything on the menu. Desserts are awesome. FYI the bartender knows his stuff. Do your self a favor and go..... Now.... What are you waiting for? read more

So good! We came for brunch and enjoyed mimosas in a cozy banquette with pillows. I ordered the SC peach French toast and hub tried the shrimp and grits. Our large portions came out perfectly prepared, mine with crispy bacon on the side and his with crumbled crispy bacon on top. The schmear of cheesecake filling on the plate gives the French toast a creamy, not overly sweet flavor which I loved, and the peaches were perfectly ripe. Hub enjoyed the shrimp and grits other than the overabundance of tomatoes in his bowl, which overpowered the flavor a bit. He was soothed with bites of my French toast leftovers, as I was perfectly full. Service was kind and efficient. Recommend! read more

Went here for lunch. Service was excellent! I came in a Thursday and ordered their chicken meal for that day. Their potato soup was wonderful. The rest of the meal was terrible. The chicken breast was super dry and charred. Not good. I was looking forward to eating a super moist chicken breast. Not so. The corn and cabbage were just not there for me. I have been to the Stella's downtown Greenville and the food has always been amazing. Maybe this restaurant was off the day I went. I would definitely recommend, would not let one terrible meal stop me from going back. read more

Wonderful birthday lunch. Had chicken salad sandwich and pimento cheese BLT. Sides were great also.

Delicious food, fantastic service, and low lighting ambiance. As a married couple, it is our favorite place to eat.

Stella's is located on the very busy Fairview Road in Simpsonville. It is set back off the road a little, so you Could overlook it, especially while driving in Simpsonville traffic. It's a little expensive, but the service is good, the atmosphere and presentation are good, and the food is delicious. Even if you only go for a special occasion, go there! You'll thank me. read more

We had dinner celebrating an Anniversary last night. Service was fantastic! We had the Duck and also Fish which were super. Cocktails professionally mixed and delightful. Cream of mushroom soup was on a special and we took two orders to go. We had multiple staff just stopping to see if all was good. Our water glasses were constantly filled which is nice. Overall Stella's is wonderful!! Will go back often and look forward to a Professional Dining Experience!!! Neal & Judy read more

Made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for Easter brunch. No mention of a different menu. When we get there we are told there's a set menu with no substitutions allowed. You must order a 'starter' and an entree. Problem is all the starters are lunch items. Not really wanting a salad or deviled eggs before my French Toast. So my $16 French Toast turned into a $36 set menu item with an egg and a half of a deviled egg. Won't be returning. read more

Definitely recommend if you're in Simpsonville. Easy to make a reservation online, staff was really friendly and accommodating to my vegetarian diet, and overall had a great brunch experience with friends. Love how all the local farmers and vendors are highlighted on the menu and wall of restaurant too! read more

BEST shrimp and grits and I'm not a "grits" person. Service was good and the dining room is kind of cute. The red sauce over my food was so flavorful and rich. I wasn't even that hungry but finished and licked my plate! read more

This place was wonderful when it was Morgan's. Great food and friendly staff. Now it's more "upscale", borderline snooty. Been there a handful of times, the first time was on my own. The next few times were paid for by a third party. I'm a tee shirt and shorts guy. Sometimes a golf shirt and cargo shorts. But I'd I have to wear slacks and a button shirt to go eat, then I'm going somewhere else. And this is the atmosphere of this place. LOVED Morgans. Can't say the same for what it's become. And I doubt I'll ever go back, regardless of who pays. read more

Always have a great experience when dining at Stella's. Simpsonville is fortunate to have such a distinguished establishment. Top shelf food, service and ambiance! read more

We love Stella's! Best fine dining in Simpsonville. Shrimp and grits are the best I've ever had in Upstate.

I love a great atmosphere in a restaurant...even if the food is so-so I will come back for a good atmosphere.

Whitney greeted us with a big smile and told us the nightly specials. We ordered the mussels and it came with a beautiful piece of bread that is there... as your magical reward for finishing the delectable mussels... (you know you take the bread and let it sop up the mussel marinade) We shared the 12 oz Ribeye and it was thick and perfectly cooked... served with fingerling potatoes and grilled asparagus... the sauce accompanying the plate was a creamy blue cheese that we dipped EVERYTHING IN. No room for dessert but next time I've got my eye on the strawberry shortcake!! read more

Was only in SC for a week, ate here 2 times. Great amazing fresh food! My wife absolutely loved the fish. She got the trout special one time and the Tile next, loved the risotto!. She said both were amazing. I had the pork chop and the burger. Want them again! They have hand made potato chips that you must try. Excellent service both times we went. They recognized us from one trip. Wish I could be back. The ambiance is awesome. Really clean, great bartenders. Make sure you say "howdy" to the free wine guy who sits on the left! He's the Norm of Stellas! read more

Came here for lunch with a friend to celebrate her birthday. Great service - we had Ruby and she was so sweet and patient as we struggled with which dish to order as many looked good. Ironically we both ordered the lunch special of Wild Caught Shrimp & Chicken Jambalaya. I was going for the shrimp but was concerned since most jambalaya are very spicy and I'm a wuss with spice. This dish had house andouille, rice grits, tomatoes, peppers, fried okra (which were fantastic and my friend who doesn't like okra liked hers), country ham scallion broth. It had a nice touch of kick like Ruby said it wasn't too spicy. When we received our order, it was fascinating and nicely plated but nothing what I expected. And that's one of the beauty of Stella's. Very tasty, beautiful presentation. Nice elegant, casual open feeling atmosphere read more

Stella's has been a long time favorite ofy family. The dynamic menu and well stocked bar make it for me. The food is always very good well cooked and properly seasoned. Desserts are varied and always a great way to end the meal. It has a friendly atmosphere and great staff. I recommend it. read more

Food was excellent as always! Service was great! Parking can be limited so carpool if you can instead of large groups arriving individually.

This west coast native experienced Southern food at this adorable place tucked inside a strip mall. Farm to table legit. Home cooking orchestrated by someone who clearly knows what they are doing. The staff and service was friendly, helpful and offered us a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this place. We stopped for brunch and was able to walk right in. I'd think a reservation would be needed for weekend dinner. read more

One of the best meals and service we have gotten since living in Simpsonville. Drink and appetizers were great, entrees were even better... I love how they source local ingredients from all over the city, peaches were from the Mauldin Market and they were beautiful. Crème brûlée is one of my favorite desserts but it hard to find a good one, this was a solid 9/10, fresh and huge blackberries on top. The drunken Mule from their specialty cocktail menu was delicious. Definitely book a reservation. read more

I was treated to a nice lunch today at Stella's Southern Bistro from my niece. Stella's is a very nice restaurant for a couple, a family or a group of friends. They're open for lunch from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. My niece had made us a reservation for 11:45. For an appetizer we ordered the three cheese pimento cheese. The pimento cheese comes with the bacon jam on top with the house crackers, and the fried green tomatoes on the side. The pimento was delicious and the bacon jam took it to a another level. The house crackers were almost like a wheat type of cracker, but they went well with the pimento cheese/bacon jam. The fried green tomatoes were crispy on the outside, but a little on the hard side under the crispy coating. For my main course I decided on the Kentucky Hot Brown. All sandwiches come with one side, for my side I had the Bistro fries. The Kentucky Hot Brown is an open face sandwich with sliced Turkey breast, bacon strips, tomato conserva(a type of spaghetti sauce), mornay( an Alfredo sauce)on grilled sour dough bread. The sandwich was good and a nice size. The bistro fries were crispy and hot and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and parsley. For dessert my niece ordered the peppermint crème brûlée. Our server brought out two spoons so I could taste it. My first time eating crème brûlée, and I liked it. I really enjoyed my lunch at Stella's Southern Bistro, presentation is every thing, and they know how to do that at Stella's. read more
