I was just sitting next to Paul C, the only 1 star review I can see for this place. Boomerest boomer I ever saw. With two women. Complained about his fries when he had about 3 left on the plate. Still given more fries. Appeared to backfire because he clearly wanted something free so he got one of the people with him to also complain. Apparently the man has never had anything besides Morton's iodized salt in his life. Staff was appropriately apologetic but ol Paul clearly wanted the senior complainer discount so took to yelp while sitting next to me one barstool over. Watched him type it over his shoulder. Meanwhile, my wife and I had 2 of the best cocktails we have ever had and a fantastic meal with bar staff that was attentive and super polite. One of the best restaurants I've ever been to anywhere. read more

Every time dine at Trappe Door, I immediately feel like I am meeting new friends and have a time. Tonight's meal was pretty special with DinnerGVL and the ambiance of welcomed immediately as you walk in, to meet a table full of new faces. I started with a Straffe Hendrik Quad, which was chefs kiss. It was a yummy treat to start the meal off with and be transported into being in Belgium. Not pictured was the charcuterie board and Brie appetizers that were all split and devoured. What was documented was the roasted duck breast with potatoes and asparagus. The duck was roasted perfectly with the skin, crispy for the texture and seasoned divinely. Yall the potatoes were crispy on the outside, well fluffy like little clouds inside, and had a punch of flavor. The asparagus was rich with a butter and lemon note. If a plate could sing! Zero notes. 10/10. My only draw back was I needed a pillow after the meal. Stuffed was I. read more

The Trappe Door - Roasted duck breast - Belgian Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Upon entering you are in a cozy basement, with tables and booths along the walls. The menu is somewhat limited but the drinks seem robust. Table of 4, we got 3 appetizers and I wasn't impressed by any of them. The baked Brie wasn't gooey enough, the Buffalo oysters had rocks, and the ham/cheese croquet-ehh-- too much mustard and just not worth it. For dinner we got the mussels, the steak and a fish and chips. Every meal is served with a side of fries and 3 options of mayo. The plain mussels were very bland. I was hoping for a deeper richer garlic white wine sauce but it was underwhelming. My friend got the coconut curry mussels and complained that the mussels tasted frozen and weird, but she liked the broth. Another friend complained her steak's pepper sauce was way too strong- I tried it and agreed. Fish and chips seemed fine. Light and Crispy if you're into that. We didn't get dessert. I had a Moscow mule which was decent but also pretty icey. Overall I'd return solely for drinks. I felt underwhelmed by the food, given the expectations and previous reviews. We paid separately and I think my bill was like $60. Eh? read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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). read more

Atmosphere food cocktails. Great place to sit at the bar and enjoy the evening! Old Grandad Bourbon Old Fashioned.

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. read more

This is the only place in Greenville I visit EVERY TIME I'm in town. I can't say enough ... the food is fantastic but the ambiance and the service is second to none! I travel all over the country on business and I so look forward to trips to Greenville so I can return here. The Wild Mushroom Vol-au-vent is necessary! This trip I went with the Trappist Moules Frites... ask Scarlett or Courtney for the Truffle Mayo , the curry mayo and the chipotle mayo.. you'll thank me! read more

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! read more

Another flawless meal! Our favorite Greenville restaurant! Shawn took great care of us. We savored Trappist ales. Had the beef and cheese appetizer. Deliciousness! We each had the filet mignon. Far superior to any other filets we've had in town. Finished with the chocolate dessert. Perfect dinner experience! read more

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. read more

Trappe Door warning: Took my wife and daughter here. Had been before and had good experience. However, my daughter was served undercooked muscles. She became violently ill the next morning. We had to take her in to receive iv fluids. Contacted the owner who conceited that there was a new cook in the kitchen and there had been several complaints that night. He said he would make things right for us as we incurred medical bills. Now he is refusing to reimburse us for our expenses. Stay away!!!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Always visit this restaurant when we are in Greenville. Cool place to hang at bar - seems like a local hangout too. Food is good. Usually really good charcuterie boards with Interesting cheese and meats. Service always good whether at bar or table. Dark decor and cool vibes. read more

Unique experience. Sat at the bar. Bartender was fantastic. Rustic feel. Really good beer. Good food.

Hands down the best food I had in town during Greenville trip. Get their moules frites with truffle mayo as one of the dipping sauce option and you won't be disappointed. If you are visiting here or nearby, come check this place out. Will most likely need reservation in advance though as it appears to be very popular. read more

Update: The schnitzel is back on the menu!! All is right with the world. It's a smaller serving now, but still delicious.

Good atmosphere and the drinks are good but the food was over salty especially the fries even when complained about the wait staff made some effort to correct but the returned fries were just as salty the salt looks like boulders. The bill however reflected a perfect meal service they need to try harder. It was also noted that the app would not let you book tables only the bar but tables remained open for at least an hour before being filled. read more

Food service and Belgian Beer solution... The ambiance was excellent also, the surroundings remind me of an old Belgian Beer bar. It's located in the basement level. Would recommend reservation for sure. It was packed on a Friday evening... Miriam our server was very attentive. read more

Feel like I'm in the basement of an abbey getting some home brewed Belgian beer. It's fun! I highly recommend the cherry sausages, it's solid and you'll have some leftovers. Beef tartare is awesome too. Haven't had as much luck with the other dishes but to be honest I haven't tried many read more

My husband and I went to the Trappe Door for our date night - make sure to get those reservations ahead of time. Our first attempt at eating here without reservations didn't pan out, so we made them 3 weeks in advance. I love the cozy, dark atmosphere of the restaurant. It feels almost like a secret hiding spot. I was enamored with the place, peeking around and had a good laugh with the bathroom decor. Our waitress was friendly and let us take our time deciding on drinks and dinner. My husband went with the fish and chips and I ordered the steak and chips. I was not expecting the amount of perfectly, crispy fries as I was given. My husband tried stealing some under the guise of "you're never going to eat all that!" I said "watch me" and did. It was a regret for another time, but honestly, they were some of the best fries I've ever had. The steak was cooked perfectly as well. We cannot wait to go back! read more

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.

Love this place from the vibe, to the drinks and food to the service. Must stop for me and my wife when we visit Greenville. Great selection of beers and good cocktails. We've tried most of the food and apps except for the mussels and everything is delicious. read more

The food was nearly inedible. French onion soup was thick, nearly creamy and loaded with pepper. Almost no cheese and a two inch slice of bread. The duck was tough and overcooked. The Flemish beef stew would have been a good substitute for a salt lick. The beef was in small cubes but still stringy and tough. We took out of town guests there because we had had a wonderful experience two or three years ago. We were embarrassed. The beer is top notch and if that had been all we were looking for, I'd recommend it. Not for the food OR the service. Waitress was uncaring. I'll leave it at that. read more

Was recommended by a friend, Such an amazing place! Definitely a hidden gem. At first I wasn't sure if it was open because the outside was empty but once you open the door and go downstairs it's a different story. There's a dark ambiance that reminds you of a German bar and i loved it. The food was delicious and the portions are big which is a bonus. Would definitely come again and highly recommend. read more

I wanted to love it. Its my kind of place. The bartender was wonderful and the beer amazing. Unfortunately my food was incorrect, but it took sooooo long to arrive, that I ate it anyway. I ordered the steak frites (NY strip) and received a ribeye instead. Not a huge deal, but also not my preference. The frites were very good too. I would come back for another try, but probably order something else. read more

The food here is outstanding! We started with the pastry-wrapped brie, serviced with green apple slices and honey-glazed pecans. We dove right into this dish before I managed to get a photo of it, lol. It was creamy, savory, and well balanced with a touch of sweet from the framboise drizzled on top. For my main I had the mussels and frites, both yummy. The golden crispy-coated fries paired perfectly with the mussels. You have a choice of several sauces for the mussels which was novel and fun. I went with the "white and Bleu" and learned blue cheese and bacon perfectly compliment mussels. The selection of Belgium beers (a few tap choices and a lot of bottled choices) is excellent. The place is reminiscent of old European taverns. It's pretty dark inside so if you're of a certain age, you'll need to whip out that cell phone in order to read the menu. read more
