    The Trappe Door is such a cool spot in Greenville. From the moment you walk down the stairs, the atmosphere feels cozy, intimate, and just really well done. We ordered the fish and chips and loved that it came with a variety of different dipping sauces--it made the dish even more fun and flavorful. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the menu overall is really solid. The drinks were great, the vibe inside is unmatched, and it's an easy place to sit and enjoy your time without feeling rushed.

    Somewhat pricey and service was a little slow, but the food was delicious! Very unique and one-of-a-kind experience. Felt like Summer 2019 when I visited Germany for the first time!

    If you like Belgian beers, this is your spot!! I've been to Belgium and Trappe Door is as close as I've experienced in the states. The service from Miriam on Sat (5/30) was exceptional; she noticed that a member of our party was celebrating a birthday and brought out a cake with a candle without anyone asking. Beyond the spectacular selection of Belgian beers, they also have a great Moscow Mule. Unfortunately, the food is a bit lacking; my fish and chips were very salty, and the fries were soft and mushy. It's pricey for the quality and not very good. I'll still be back, but likely just for drinks and an appetizer.

    A really cool spot in downtown Greenville. You head underground to this awesome setting. The croquettes were stellar. Definitely the best thing at the table. We went with the steak frites, mussels and sausages and loved each. The fish and chips was just ok. I'd definitely recommend other things on the menu. The curry mayo is the best.

    Somehow we snatched a prime time dinner reservation randomly in the afternoon after trying all week. We had such a good time here as usual. Our waiter was great and food was delicious as always.

    Frites... three different kinds of flavored mayo. You can also just get ketchup if you'd like

    When in Greenville, my husband and I had a wonderful meal at The Trappe Door. One of his friends who is a local but spent time in Belgium recommended it to us. I do recommend making a reservation ahead of time, arriving when they open (at 5 PM), or planning to sit at the bar. We started with the Wild mushroom vol-au-vent ($13) appetizer, which was rich and delicious- definitely not your ordinary mushrooms, and I loved the puff pastry. I had the Pan seared salmon ($28) for my entree and loved how the flavors blended together, especially the marinated tomato salad. My husband had the Provencal Mussels, which came with a huge piece of bread on top for soaking (although I wish you could order an extra bread because he needed it). This dish also came with a side of fries. When you order fries here, you get the choice of three creative flavored mayonnaise options. You can opt for ketchup if you're less adventurous. Although our food did take awhile to come out, the service was good and our waiter checked on us multiple times. It was rather busy so as I mentioned earlier, make a reservation and don't be in a hurry. The bar has a huge selection of Belgian and European beers, as well as mixed drinks and some NA options. For parking, there is a surface lot next door and a garage across the street. Parking is thankfully cheap in downtown Greenville (and free after certain hours).

    The BEST beef tartare in the whole city. Its now drowning in mayo.

    The food is always great at Trappe door. This time I ordered the famoua beef tartare. It is 10/10 and the best tartare I have tried in the whole city should I dare say in the whole country. The red curry broth was flavorful w some spice. I had the creamy brussel sprouts on the side as well. Overall another great experience.

    Sauteed duck breast

    I had a stellar experience at Trappe Door for my birthday. The vibe is amazingly cool and such a great spot for any kind of event or night out. The food was truly delicious. We had a mussel pot with fries that had more mussels than two of us could finish. I had sautéed duck breast that I won't forget anytime soon. It was flavorful and cooked to absolute perfection. The restaurant is unique and different from so many others that it's something I would definitely recommend everyone try at least once!

    Pasta
    Sarah H.

    My friend and I met up for dinner here and enjoyed the sausages and pasta! We tried the wasabi, curry, and truffle mayo (all of which were amazing). Our waitress helped us decide which ones to order and was attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant is located in downtown Greenville underground. It has a neat ambiance with booth, table, and bar seating. This was my second visit here and I got the pasta both times because of how good it was! The fries are a must as they are a key part of the experience. The shredded Brussel sprouts that came with the sausages were mind blowing in taste. So good and unique.

    The Flemish onion soup was delicious. The seafood waterzooi was a bit salty and the shrimp was a little overcooked, but otherwise decent. That stew also appeared to be Americanized since it has more things in it and served with bread which was not the case when I visited Belgium. The inside had a old-world Belgian vibe since it's located below street level.

    Visiting Greenville for work and wanted to treat myself to a hearty dinner. I called ahead of time and they had availability for one within 15 mins. I thought they would seat me at the bar but I got a nice seat where I could see all the hustle and bustle. It's a really cool and exclusive-vibes atmosphere, with an extensive beer selection. Ordered the braised short rib and it did not disappoint! The brussels were creamy which I've never experienced before. The short rib and mashed potato were prepared perfectly. I could not finish the plate in one sitting so I took a mini meal to go. If I was in the mood to eat fries I definitely would have tried the fish and chips! Hoping I get to visit Greenville and The Trappe Door again soon!

    The ambiance is great . The service was good, but the dishes were overly salty. Would go back again maybe it was just a bad night.

    After completing the Swamp Rabbit trail in Greenville South Carolina, my family and I decided to…read moreexplore downtown Greenville walking the lively streets. I was in the mood for some homemade soft-serve ice cream. To our surprise we stumbled upon River Streets Sweets- an homemade candy and ice cream confectionery located in the heart of downtown Greenville. I was in Oh, with the desserts they had ranging from candy, fudge, chocolate covered apples, soft-serve ice cream, popcorn, nuts, chocolate covered pretzels/marshmallows, and so much more. Thankfully my family was there because I would have bought everything-it's a child's dream. At last I got the soft-serve ice cream I was craving all day. Let me tell you, the ice cream, gelato, and sorbet were truly homemade. To my surprise the prices were not as pricey considering they were in downtown Greenville. My family got two scoops in a cup costing $7.95 a single scoop is $4.95. The scoops are a decent size for the price you are paying. River Streets Sweets has some unique flavors that I have never heard of before, such as Bear Claw, Blueberry, Hazelnut Coffee Crunch, and Pink Grapefruit. They also serve Raspberry Sorbet sugar-free which is nice. My family decided to get Rocky Road and Bear Claw. The ice cream was so rich, creamy, and flavorful. It did not taste artificial like some ice creams in supermarkets. My whole family was pleased with the purchase. The staff were extremely friendly, especially the one member who was mending the ice cream section. She was so kind and energetic, letting my family sample the flavors before purchasing, which a lot of food businesses do not do. In addition, to my surprise, the store was huge, leaving plenty of space to walk around without running into other customers. The store was organized, making it easy to see all the yummy treats. There was no visible dirt or dust, the businesses looked polished.The only downfall would be the parking situation, since they are located in the heart of Greenville parking is limited. I would recommend walking and parking in a free or reduced parking area. The next time I am in downtown Greenville or around the area, I will be stopping by River Streets Sweets to indulge in some of their other sweet treats, such as their fudge and chocolate covered apples. I would recommend checking out River Streets Sweets if you are in the area.

    Main Street in Greenville has great shops, restaurants, and places with snacks. River Street Sweets…read moreis a beautiful candy shop. The pralines are so good. Service was friendly. Smells nice inside
