    Large classic with cheese
    Lee B.

    I've been here several times (lunch and dinner) since it's opened so obviously I like it. The food is always hot and the chicken is very delicious. LOVE the jalapeño sauce. The staff is always friendly and welcome you when you enter. There are a few large (6 to 8) tables available so this place is good for groups. I'll be back!

    My brother, Jonivan brought me here to try a healthy food joint that he pretty frequents. I got the South of the border wrap and man, it was delicious with the cilantro lime sauce. Jonivan got the Cuban bowl and I had a chance to taste it. It was delicious as well. At that time, I preferred his meal than mine. LOL! Too funny. I do love that they played Christian music. I would return again and order what my brother got.

    Family Meal takeout
    Kelly K.

    I've loved the family meal deals from Tropical Grille long before takeout became most restaurants' serving method. It's a great option for serving a group but awesome to feed an individual or couple for multiple meals (the way the items are packaged separately produce a lot of packaging waste but offer convenience of building your own servings). The family meal for four is a large serving of chopped chicken and allows you to choose four sides, four sauces and a 2 liter soda. The chopped chicken is served fresh and flavorful, always really juicy and tender enough to be reheated the next day without worrying over it being tough or dry. You can choose white, brown or yellow rice. I love the black beans which definitely have a spicy Cuban flavor but pair perfectly with the chicken and rice. The veggies (cauliflower, broccoli and carrots) were cooked perfectly with steamed tenderness paired with a grilled crunch. The yuca fries are kind of like wedge potatoes, but almost more bland? Not in a bad way though - they're delicious just not strongly flavored! I highly recommend the baked sweet plantains whether you choose them as a side or add them on as a dessert. Picture attached to my review shows the small portion (perfect for 2-3 people) but they also offer a large serving. These plantains are similar to caramelized bananas and every bit is just melt in your mouth amazing! Last but not least, they have a lot of sauce options! Luckily you get to choose four with the meal deal so you can try a few out, but the sour cream sauce and guava bbq are my faves. Also got the salsa and sweet & sour this most recent visit. Every sauce I've ever tried has been tasty!

    We used DoorDash to delivery food from the Tropical Grill on Woodruff Road, see attached. The Cuban Chop was mostly correct, although I was never certain that the protein was pork, I think it was but based on the flavor it could have been chicken. The Yuca Fries were cut too thick and had zero seasoning...ugh. The Classic Chop regular is the reason for One Star (otherwise it would have been Three Stars). We ordered the Chicken Chop with Cauliflower rice, mild salsa, beans, corn and no sauce. What was delivered was a big serving of yellow rice and some chopped chicken and that was it....not even close! Will not order from them again, that is for sure.

    Today's work lunch in Greenville, South Carolina! Sweet plantains, a beef meat pie, grilled Tropical chicken sandwich -Spicy of course (really wasn't that spicy) with Yucca fries! Wish we had this place in San Antonio,Texas! Christian music playing on the speakers and staff, especially Jan was super nice!

    Ordered the Cuban pork bowl. Served with about 2 oz of pork. Very disappointed. They also failed to put my sauces in the bag.

    Kouzina My wife and…read moreI have visited Kouzina on two consecutive Saturdays for lunch, and both trips left us looking forward to the next one. Located at 1325 Miller Road in Greenville (across from Frankie's Fun Park), getting there means braving Woodruff Road if you don't know the back way behind Mauldin High School. The restaurant has a warm, rustic feel with rough-sawn wood walls, dark concrete floors, oversized barrels, plenty of TVs tuned to sports, and a few Greek touches throughout. My guess is the space was once a bar or wine-tasting venue before becoming Kouzina. Today, though, it is very much a family restaurant. Large dark-wood tables and high-tops make it easy to accommodate groups, and there's a covered patio with plenty of fans to keep the air moving. The staff impressed us on both visits. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and quick to answer questions. During one visit, I was standing beneath the menu monitors studying the daily specials--and their very tempting photos--when our server hurried over to make sure I wasn't waiting for assistance. According to the restaurant's story, Dad Sofokli, Mom Georgia, and brothers Nektari, Vasili, and Nas came to America in 2001 to open a pizza restaurant in New Hampshire. After a few hard winters, they relocated to South Carolina, bringing their authentic family recipes with them. Seeing teenagers clearing tables while younger kids linger nearby gives the whole place a "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" vibe. It feels like a true multi-generational family business. Pizza may be the star at Kouzina, but the menu is loaded with tempting gyros, pastas, sandwiches, and desserts. On our first visit, we split a large Kouzina Special Pizza ($28). The crust is thick yet airy, providing a sturdy base without feeling heavy. The tomato sauce has a pleasant tang and enough body to stand up to the generous toppings: pepperoni, sausage, hamburger, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and plenty of cheese. It was a very good pizza and large enough that we boxed up nearly half of it to take home. On our second trip, my wife ordered the Authentic Greek Gyro ($15). This monster-sized pita comes stuffed with rotisserie pork, homemade tzatziki, onions, and tomatoes, then topped with Greek-seasoned fries. The pork was easily among the best gyro meat I've ever had--thick, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. This is an authentic "YEE-roh," not a pre-packaged, dumbed-down "gie-ROW." I chose the Tuna Salad Roll-Up ($12), a fresh wrap filled with house-made tuna salad, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. The tuna salad was remarkably fresh and not overly mayonnaise-heavy. In fact, I should have asked whether Greek yogurt played a role because it was that good. Served cold, it made for an ideal South Carolina summer lunch. This time we indulged with dessert. We shared a slice of Strawberry Cheesecake, and it was an excellent decision ($7). The slice was tall and creamy with a graham cracker crust that may have included a hint of cinnamon. It was topped with strawberries--plural, not decorative singular--and finished with two generous swirls of whipped cream. It's the sharing of a single piece that will test your relationship. Near the end, you find yourself hoping your spouse's phone buzzes long enough for you to sneak the last couple of bites. As for our next visit, the decisions won't be easy. The Greek Pizza, Spanakopita, Meat Lasagna, Chicken Gyro, Veggie Caprese, Hulk Smash Burger, and something called Chocolate Lovin' Spoon Cake are all competing for our attention. Kouzina combines generous portions, authentic Greek flavors, excellent service, and a welcoming family atmosphere. We've already been back once, and we're looking forward to trip number three.

At 9 pm, a calm, spacious spot humming along and very prompt and efficient service was definitely welcome! The menu for vegetarians is sparse and simple. Choices for us were veggie pizza and eggplant parmigiana in entrees, and spanakopita in appetizers. Spanakopita came strongly recommended and did not disappoint. Mom's recipe that is made on the premises, it was clutch with a glass of Cabernet Savignon! A small veggie pizza was enough for two after half of the spanakopita. Food reminded me of our trip to Italy: a couple times when we stopped at small mom and pop run spots in Florence and Venice! Definitely can be done again!!!

We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon at 12:00 PM--perhaps a bit early for live music or games. Nonetheless, we found a full bar, a classic American menu, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. Located on Woodruff Rd in the Five Forks area, Bullwinkle's is situated directly across from Publix and behind a strip center, literally occupying the ground floor of a Great Spaces Storage building. Parking here is plentiful. The decor reflects the typical vibe of a sports bar/restaurant, with TVs mounted throughout, all tuned into a variety of sports. During our visit, college football, golf, soccer, and baseball were all on display, with the Manchester vs. Chelsea soccer match attracting a notable crowd. While the restaurant is one large space, its layout allows guests to find tables or seating areas that offer a sense of privacy. The menu includes all the expected favorites: pizza, calzones, wings, burgers, and a diverse selection of other items. The pizza is particularly popular, and they boast an extensive craft beer list. Our server was busy but attentive, and the food was quite good--though I would suggest cooking the wings a bit longer for optimal flavor. Although Bullwinkle's is a little off the beaten path, it's definitely worth a visit!
