I ordered the La Patrona margarita and it came out bubbling with fresh rosemary and dried orange slice, it was super special and unexpected! I was in the mood for seafood and we started with the ceviche with plantain chips, truely fresh and beautiful with a carved rose pattern avocado in the center! Then my husband and I split the chimichurri burrito, fantastic tasting, with steak and plump NOT overly cooked shrimp inside. The way this establishment is decorated, and the lively music that's NOT too loud, makes me feel like I'm at a hip and cool restaurant in downtown GVL without having to make the drive. Emilio is a warm and friendly owner who strives to make his customers happy I've observed and his life story is amazing! See you again soon! Brian & Carisa

Ahead of my 4pm flight I found deli meats, sandwiches, hummus with pita chips, and a couple hot bar items that looked like they'd been out for quite a while. There are cereal dispensers but I'm not sure where the milk is, and some pastries look like they've been sitting out for a long time. There are a few snacks and a couple beverages (lemonade and cucumber infused ice water), with a good deal of the counter space occupied by a fancy coffee machine. Not sure how to get just coffee. There's a full service bar if you're the drinking type, and I believe that's extra $... but I'm not a drinker, so I might be wrong. Seating is challenging if you have more than 1-2 people and the space is small so would fill up fast with a bunch of business travelers taking up whole tables with computers. Like most lounges, there's nowhere out of the way to stow luggage. The bathroom is co-ed... because there is only one single stall in the entire place. Go in private, but know there's going to be one or many someones impatient for you to finish. It absolutely reeks of stale air freshener and the floor and toilet seat are both sticky. No place to put a purse or bag off the floor in a spot you can access from the toilet. I'm a dirty hippie and this bathroom was gross to me - you might be better served by the regular restrooms.

The name comes from Pinky, one of the four ghosts in Pac-Man, the only female one, who has been in…read morelove with Pac-Man since 1980 and has gotten nothing back for it in forty-five years. The owner named his arcade after this ghost, which is either the most romantic thing a business owner has ever done or the most honest, and I've been unable to decide which since I left. The 80s are here the way the 80s are always here once you're old enough: not as decoration but as a low-grade persistent condition, the kind that flares up without warning in a grocery store when a song comes on that you haven't thought about since 1987 and then can't stop thinking about. The arcade cabinets are lined up along the walls, the kind that hummed and ate your quarters with no apology in 1984. They still hum. The quarters part is covered in the flat admission fee of either $15 an hour or $20 for a whole day of genuine nirvana, which is a more generous arrangement than the original decade ever offered. There are also two chandeliers for an elegant touch, a full ornate candelabra situation hanging above the consoles, which is either a design decision made with great confidence or a mistake that became load-bearing. Either way I respected it. I played Frogger. The frog died repeatedly, in the specific way things die when they commit at the wrong moment. I stood there longer than I planned. Henry, who is almost eight, played pinball at what I can only describe as an alarming rate. Not alarming in the sense of worry, alarming in the sense of watching someone do something faster and more confidently than the years they've had on earth would suggest. He worked through three machines in sequence, nudging each one at the right moment with the flat of his palm, the way men who've been doing this since the Reagan administration do it. I stood behind him and said nothing, which is a thing I do more and more as he gets older, because there is increasingly less to add. Pinky's Revenge moved recently from Taylors Mill to downtown Greer, forced out by South Carolina's new liquor liability laws and the fact that Taylors Mill has the ambiance of a place where people likely get killed on a rerun of Law & Order. The drink menu is fully canned, which is the correct delivery mechanism for a room like this. A PBR for three fifty next to Donkey Kong feels exactly right, and I say that as someone who also paid seven dollars for a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and did not regret it. The menu also carries Jolt Cola for five dollars, still advertising all the sugar and twice the caffeine, which was the entire value proposition of being seven in 1985. There is Capri Sun for two dollars and Yoo-hoo also for two dollars. I ordered both for the family without explanation because none was required. Clearly we had a thirst little could quench. The menu also lists THC seltzers, Rebel Rabbit, five or ten milligrams, eight dollars. The last time I was in a room like this it was 1988, a Putt-Putt Golf and Games off a highway in suburban south Anderson, and the most transgressive thing available was a second game token and a Mello Yello. A woman near the pinball machines was wearing jelly bracelets, the translucent kind, stacked to the elbow. She was in her forties. She beat the machine badly and walked away without looking back, which is the most 80s thing I have ever seen a person do in real life, and I was there for the original run.

The owner was there when we visited and was very warm and welcoming. We bought wristbands for unlimited arcade games for $15, which is a great deal considering how much you would spend at an arcade to play all day. We enjoyed classics like pac man, Mario, teken3, frogger, mortal combat, pinball, and many more. They also have ice cream and snacks for purchase, or you can walk to a variety restaurants nearby. This place will definitely be a repeat! Highly recommended!

Henry gets the mini corn dogs, has for years, though we've now heard whispers that once they're out, they're gone for the rest of time, no substitutions, which has turned his order into something closer to a small bet. I get the same thing every time: the 10 inch personal pizza, pepperoni and onions, and two PBR liters. I've never once considered another combination. This is not indecision. This is a system that works, refined over years of Fridays, and I see no reason to disturb something that's already won. -- UPDATE: Wild Ace responded directly to address Henry's corn dog anxiety, confirming the mini corn dogs are staying and new kids' meal options are coming soon. Henry has not yet been informed of this development, mostly because I want to see how many more Fridays I can get out of him worrying about it.

Update 5/24/2026 - I'm not sure what's going on with the pizza appearance, taste, preparedness. The…read moreprices have gone up yet the quality isn't what we were used to getting when already spending a ridiculous amount for a pizza. Last night we had ordered a margarita pizza. It initially came with no basil, all the tomatoes were all in the center not scattered around, and the crust was burnt and hard. When I bit into the pizza, it crunched. Flatbreads aren't even cooked that much. We had to call in and get a new pizza. It had more tomatoes and this time it had basil, but the crust was still thin, overcooked and crunchy. Very disappointing. Refer to my video and of past photos. Whatever has changed, should be fixed sooner than later.

Paid a first visit to House 509 Bistro, a charming and cozy restaurant located just off N Hwy 101,…read morewell north of downtown Greer. The name "House 509" has a fascinating backstory. Chef G, who spent his early life in Haiti, lived in a region with the 509 area code. After some time in Miami, he moved to a home in Greer with the street address "509." It was a natural choice for the restaurant's name. Upon arrival, our reservations were honored promptly. I requested to change tables, and Ashley was more than happy to accommodate us. The menu is designed around flights--of food and wine--making it difficult to choose from so many appealing options. We opted for flights that included scallops, shrimp and grits, mahi mahi, and mushroom ravioli, along with a side of lobster bisque and chocolate cake. Each dish was awesome! Chef G stopped by our table to say hello. The intent behind the name House 509 is to create a homey atmosphere, and the staff does an excellent job achieving that. While it may take a little time for your entrees to arrive due to the careful preparation, the wait is definitely worth it. Make sure to add House 509 to your must-visit list!
