The guy at the window was very friendly, which was a nice touch. I ordered a double steakburger with onion rings.

We could not believe how smooth the creme brulee was. The torched sugar on top provided the shell you're looking for but was so thin and brittle! The best I've ever had. Now on to that kiss of air called pavlova. 1st of all the berries were definitely fresh. Each had the most perfect flavor, like you just picked them yourself. The merengue was so light.... You spoon it in your mouth and it just evaporates. How can it be so light, yet still resist your spoon in a way that deceives you into thinking it will be too sweet, and heavy? No, it's flavored air.

If you judge restaurants by looks alone, you'll keep driving. But here's the twist -- A on health score and some seriously old-school food. I stopped by craving a Clock Restaurant-style burger. You know the kind... no frills, paper box, takes you straight back to the 90s. And yep -- that's exactly what I got. Burger came in a box and unlocked childhood memories instantly. Order: Double cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, extra mayo, pickles, fries, and slaw. Now... small hiccup. No extra mayo. No pickles. BUT a whole garden of onions showed up instead I took the onions off, shrugged, and absolutely devoured the meal. Everything was cooked fresh, piping hot, and hit that nostalgic sweet spot. Fries were hot, slaw was solid, burger was legit. They even threw in a free tea, which always earns bonus points in my book. All for a little over $10 bucks! I didn't go inside -- drive-thru only -- and judging by the outside, I'm guessing the inside matches the "very old and very dingy" aesthetic. But honestly? Looks aside, the food speaks louder. I'd give this place 5 stars if the order had been perfect, but the missing mayo and pickles knocked it down one. Still, I'd absolutely come back if I lived closer. If you're hunting for a no-nonsense, throwback burger joint that feels like stepping into a time machine -- this is it. Don't judge it by the building. Try it at least once.

I'm so glad we found this little gem while searching for a great burger in downtown Greenville!…read more This small burger joint, tucked just off the main street, completely exceeded our expectations. Everything is made from scratch; from the fresh burger patties and soft, homemade buns to the delicious pralines they hand out as a sweet palate cleanser at the end of your meal. You can absolutely taste the difference. The restaurant is small with limited seating (first come, first served), with seating along the windows and down the side, and a couple of outdoor tables. You order at the counter, grab your number, and then find a seat. Even though it's a casual, fast-service restaurant, the hospitality was anything but ordinary. We were greeted the moment we walked in by the sweetest older gentleman whose genuine Southern hospitality made us feel so welcome. He even stopped by to chat with us during our meal, making the whole experience feel warm and personal. The food was outstanding! My burger was cooked perfectly....juicy, flavorful, and served on one of the best hamburger buns I've ever had. It was incredibly soft but somehow never got soggy or fell apart, even with all the cheese and sauce. They offer about 10 different flavor options for burgers. They even offer grilled chicken sandwiches and Open face burgers. I ordered the Sawyer Burger ($13.95), topped with chili garlic glazed pork belly, Asian slaw, and crispy onion straws. It was absolutely delicious and well worth the price considering the quality and generous portion. The fries deserve their own review! So many burger places treat fries as an afterthought, but not here. The portions are huge and perfectly seasoned. I chose the Buffalo Blue Cheese fries, and they were packed with flavor. I wish I'd had room to try the Parmesan fries, which sounded like a customer favorite. Even the tiny bathroom was charming, covered in funny and quirky signs that made me smile. If I lived in Greenville, I'd definitely become a regular. Amazing food, generous portions, homemade quality, friendly service, and true Southern hospitality. I can't recommend this place enough!
