    My new favorite restaurant in the Clemson area! Stopped in on Saturday night for dinner and it was…read morea great experience! The restaurant was very busy and there was a little bit of a wait. The inside, outside, and bar are all seated on the waiting list. They sat the 2 of us at the bar and it was a fun experience. The bartender made great recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the menu. They have 8 draft beers on tap and a large cocktail menu. We started off with the crispy brussels and it was excellent. The balsamic honey reduction was a nice addition to the appetizer. We got two sandwiches (chimichurri steak press and brisket reuben) and both were very good and recommended by the bartender. I enjoyed the fries a little more than the chips for a side item. Definitely plan on coming back to this restaurant the next time I'm up in Clemson!

    On a visit to Clemson for grad schools we wanted to get the feel of the town and it seemed like…read moreevolve kitchen was a solid place people to gather. The bar has seating for about 12 to 15 and it is open style and very loud as evidenced by the noise baffles hanging from the ceiling. Our server was so sweet she took the time to explain that she too is a Clemson student and went into depth on the menu. I got the French dip and you can add three wings to your meal which seems like a good idea at the time. Also I swapped out the fries for a salad because I'm chunky. My wife and daughter at the burger and chicken tacos respectively, Burger was indeed tasty and the tacos were on point. Place seems to die down about 8:30 but it was the first week back from school break but you can tell this is a local favorite especially when the parents come in town! If things go well and we end up sending our daughter to Clemson we will definitely be back to evolve!

    Quaint little sandwich shop off the main drag and it offers some comforts but no frills. Ordered…read morethe turkey with bacon and cheese - tasted good but the top split bun makes it difficult to eat, particularly at the end of the sandwich. The tea claims to be legendary but it's mid for Clemson claiming to be in The South. The service was a lone server and I'm guessing the same in the kitchen. She was extremely friendly and welcoming and did a good job managing the customers and register.

    Two people in party. One of us ordered a club sandwich on white bread...not toasted. The other one…read moreof us ordered a corned beef sandwich on Jewish rye bread.....toasted. After ordering, the waitress approached us and said that they were out of corned beef.."would pastrami be okay". "Yes" we said. We'll, the club sandwich came out on "toasted" white bread. And the pastrami sandwich came out on toasted "white bread". And it wasn't even the likes of a corned beef sandwich with sauerkraut and thousand island dressing. It was toasted white bread, a little pastrami and a little Dijon mustard. Both sandwiches were dry and not flavorful. We were told the potato salad was homemade. That is definitely questionable. The waitress never checked on us. When we went to the cash register to pay (without a ticket-because she never brought it to us), we had to request a refill for our drinks. Will not be returning.

First hint should have been the tables - several high tops still dirty and not wiped down. The ducks are cute, but to have to avoid stepping in duck sh** to get into the place, well not our thang.... Anyway we decided to give it a go and ordered some fried mushrooms, 2 orders of the double burger special, and a couple of sodas. Waited, and waited.....and waited. In the meantime the servers were busy showcasing their twerking capabilities to each other at the counter where they pick up orders. OKaaaaay. How about wiping down a few tables? So our order arrives - rather partial order. Only 1 of the double burger special arrived, and the "order of fried mushrooms" contained 9 mushrooms total, and these were not large by any stretch. For $10.75?? Good grief. We decided to split the one order of the burger special as we had waited close to 35 minutes already. To be fair, the burger was good, the fries that came with it were sparse but good. The mushrooms - meh. Oh and at the plastic cutlery dispenser station - out of forks and knives. That twerking practice must be oh so important.... The live entertainment was good though - just one guy who knew a lot of songs, and was doing his absolute best to play some requests. Entertaining, great sense of humor and sounded good - kudos to him. Net net, not interested in a return visit - certainly didn't expect a 5* or even a 4*, but this place had too many things just not up to par.
