North St. based on the 4.5 Yelp rating. What's going on here? Are these reviews being artificially boosted? I genuinely had to look at my phone to make sure I'd come to the right place based on expectations vs. reality. We ordered the biscuits and gravy with eggs and chicken. The chicken was a had an odd mushy/spongy texture -- a couple of tenders unceremoniously dropped on the plate and nothing like in any of the marketing photos -- and the gravy was not very flavorful at all. Someone else in my party got the chicken and waffles -- their chicken was better than mine, but still completely unimpressive. I also have to say, unfortunately, that the staff is not on their game. We had communication problems with the person taking our order, and the self-bussing area was overflowing with dirty forks and plates. This is a corporate slop establishment, and Greenville has at least a dozen breakfast spots, especially locally-owned ones, that are miles better than this. I regret not looking a bit harder for a better local spot.

Greenville doesn't have too many original diners, but Stax has been a staple in the community and…read moreStax Omega stands out from the other diners here. Wait time was surprisingly not long. I went at 11am on a Sunday during peak church hours and though we have 15 reservations ahead of us, we only waited for 20 minutes or so, The food is really good. My friend thought her omelette and potatoes were great. The blueberry waffles I thought were good. Nothing special to say, but it's hard to mess up waffles in my opinion and Stax Omega sure didn't miss. I love consistently and Stax Omega is a great consistent and clean diner. If you are looking for a place to take the family to, especially when the grandparents are involved, this is a great option. And I have to emphasize again: LESS than a 30 minute wait when I had 15 RESERVATIONS ahead of me!

Their breakfast is what keeps me coming back. Everything is done right, and it hits the spot every single time. And the desserts? Absolutely incredible -- I can never leave without one (or two). Great food, and clearly a lot of other people agree. Stax Omega has earned its crowd. If you haven't been yet, get in line -- you won't regret it! The only thing that I would change is the waiting area and being limited to only checking in through their tablet. There should be a way to check in without confirming at the tablet, to which there's always a crowd in front of.

Excellent food and service, we had reservations for a Thursday night and good thing we had the…read morereservations, they're very popular. I had the steak frites with filet mignon. Hubs had the meatballs (which the server said they only had two left...a friend nabbed the others) and other friends had the moules (mussels) frites and the braised short rib IIRC. The *.frites were the biggest hits. My filet was perfect, Sharon was raving about her mussels being the best she's had in ages. I had a bite of the meatballs, they were ok but people agreed there are better things on their menu. I love that the frites come with a choice of 3 out of about 10 different custom mayos (aiolis for the fancy-schmancy). I tried the curry, sriracha, and a fruity one I can't remember exactly what it was. I liked the fruity one the best and to my surprise, the curry the least (I usually love curry, but the balance was off). The sriracha mayo was too subtle for me, I slather sriracha mayo on my burgers regularly. I have no class. The frites were fresh cut and I enjoyed them but there were far more than I could eat on my plate, and sadly frites don't keep. They have my favorite super sweet Lindemann's framboise lambic on tap; I've only ever had it in bottles before, so that was a treat. My husband thinks I'm crazy to drink it because it is SO SWEET but I love it. So does Sharon, and clearly we're not alone or they wouldn't waste a tap on it :). It's beer for people who hate beer. (I resemble that remark. Maybe hate is a strong word. But in my 30s I realized I'd rather drink a soda than a beer, except for this one.) Desserts sounded good but we were too stuffed to order any. Next time I come, I may try the mussels, or I might just order that steak again.

It's another world, stepping into the Trappe Door. It's low, warm lighting, low ceilings and lots…read moreof wooden beams. It's in a basement that feels like a pleasant dungeon or a 1500's rogue tavern, you know, the kind in the movies where plots to overturn evil rulers are hatched. It is a unique vibe and after your meal, when emerging back onto the brightly lit street, it's akin to stepping out of a secret place and back into the light of day. The beer selection is impressive. This food is Belgian inspired. Hence the name being derived from a mix of Trappist Monks, trap doors, and a hidden underground enclave. Many of the beers have higher alcohol content, listed on the menu, be advised. The specialty is Moules Frites, mussels prepared in various broths and fries double fried in duck fat served with a flight of your choice of flavored mayonnaise such as wasabi, curry, truffle, sriracha, etc. Very good. Reservations are highly recommended. It was a busy Thursday at 6:30pm and the place was literally packed, even the bar. The two of us were seated in a large, dark, alcove booth fitting for six or perhaps even eight. We had a reservation, so the hostess said, "we may as well fill it" since it was that crowded. Being such, it was five minutes before we were noticed and placed our drink orders, another five before our water arrived and we ordered and about 30 minutes later to get our food. In between we were left to ourselves. The service was not negligent, but it was minimal and not really friendly either. It was a busy night, so we will have grace. But the mussels were delicious. We both had the Provincale, a rich, savory, Mediterranean sauce of tomatoes, garlic and white wine. Bourdain says "never order the mussels", in his Kitchen Confidential book, but here you are safe because they are very popular and the main feature. I've probably said this before and it is worth repeating, they need to up their crusty bread game. The broth is so good and the accompanying bread just doesn't lend itself to bringing the dish to another level, but it could were it better bread. This is a solid and must do restaurant experience when visiting Greenville. It arguably should be the "one" restaurant you must visit in town because of its unique ambiance and unique food & beverage.

Her energy was great not just for me but you can tell all the tables she was attending she gave the same service!

First, this place was busy so perhaps my concerns are a result of this. However I've been here…read moreoften and have loved it, now the last couple times we've left disappointed. First, it was so busy we had to be sat in the back where we feel is somewhat overlooked. We were sat quickly and after a little wait the server came over for our drinks. I politely said I would like a coffee and were ready to order. She says "I can take your drink order" (2x). She then went to another table to greet them and within 30 seconds of her walking away - they had left. My guess it was for the same reason. Customers who come here usually know what they want. Making them wait makes little sense. When she did finally return it couldn't have taken more than 2-3 minutes for us to order. Then she came with the check and couldn't take our card saying "I'll be right back". I'm not sure I understand how this is very productive. Overall food was good. Service was sub-par. Sorry Ariana.

The Korean chicken sandwich was fabulous! As a visitor,…read moreprobably like many, I wasn't aware of the specials and not familiar with the menu. The cashier was not helpful. We ordered the hamburger for our toddler and it was the driest piece of meat I've seen, ever. Needless to say, she wouldn't eat it. They appeared to be understaffed and our order sat for a while before our buzzer went off. Not really impressed with their system of picking up your own food and you have to order at the cashier booth yet they want tips? May go back again and order out for the chicken but that's it.

The second was a burger: overcooked and dry with too much salt. The final was an avocado tomato sandwich which lacked flavor and was a HEFTY $20 after tax and tip. WTF? Totally not worth it. That's enough disappointment for me to finally decide no more.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Biscuits! Biscuits! And more biscuits! I wish we had a good southern biscuit shop in NYC. Rather it's savory or sweet, this place has your biscuit desires covered. I have been here four times and always left happy. Their biscuits are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Only complaint is that they are slightly dry. Probably just need a bit more butter right? Lol. Though the biscuits are not the best I have had, the overall experience is very good. Though no longer on the menu, you can still order the Biscuit w/ Gravy Flight, which is one of my favorite things here. They're all pretty delicious, but that sausage gravy really enhances the biscuit since it takes away some of that dryness. Of the sandwiches, I love the Fried Bologna Benedict the most. My least favorite is the extra salty Country Ham Biscuit. The Mimosa Fried Chicken Sandwich is not bad either, but order it without that sweet sauce on top. And if you like simple, just get a biscuit with some sausage and eggs. Don't forget, they have a whole jams and spreads station. Make sure to take advantage of that for a sweet finish. I personally enjoy the Peach Rosemary, Strawberry, and Sweet Potato Chai. Btw, extremely sweet and kind service. I had a cappuccino that was a bit too light. I offered to pay for an extra espresso shot. Instead of charging me, the server sent me back with a brand new cup of cappuccino with the extra shot. Then she stopped by to ask if it was made properly three minutes later. Every time I have been to Greenville, I have made a pitstop here. This factory of biscuits may not be the best around, but I just appreciate the atmosphere and friendly service. By no means am I saying their biscuits are not good because I would be extremely ecstatic if we had something similar in NYC.

Mountain Goat feels like Portlandia and Patagonia opened a coffee shop together in Greenville…read more.. and it totally vibes. The space has the bones of an old auto shop turned neighborhood coffee meetup spot: industrial, unfussy, outdoorsy. The service is classic coffee shop friendliness. There's plenty of bar seating plus larger tables, so it works equally well for grabbing coffee solo, meeting up with friends, or camping out (get it?) for a study/work session. Trust me (or don't): The house-made waffles are the main character. Hands down some of the best I've had!! The texture is spot-on, with that perfect consistency that holds up under the toppings instead of turning into a soggy carb sponge. They absolutely nail the waffle-to-topping ratio as every bite gets a little waffle, fruit, and topping without the whole thing collapsing. I also loved that ordering "for here" actually means for here; your food and drinks come on real dishes instead of disposable everything. It's a small detail, but it makes perfect sense for an outdoorsy, sustainability-minded brand so the whole experience feel more intentional. Mountain Goat is the kind of place that feels distinctly Greenville while bringing a little PNW energy to the Upstate. Don't leave without getting a waffle.

Being from outside the USA, I've never been to the Waffle House before, but I hear about it often…read morein tv and movies. I wanted something easy and comforting so I gave it a try. I arrived around 7pm, and there were no cars in the parking lot. As I parked, I could see one of the employees sitting at the table with what I assume to be an off-duty employee. I assume it was quiet for a while so there was nothing to do. As I walked in the server kindly invited me to sit wherever I wanted. I decided to sit at the bar. I browsed the menu and know I was supposed to sample at least a waffle and the hashbrowns (smothered and covered), so I ended up getting the All-Star Breakfast. I watched the cook make my food, and it was delivered to me soon after. My thoughts: - Waffle: Terrible. It was soggy. I was expecting something a little crispy, but it wasn't. I've had better waffles from the freezer aisle. - Hashbrowns: Good. They were probably the highlight, as they were hot and had a crispy sear. I got them covered (with cheese) and smothered (with onions), which added to the flavour, but was surprisingly sparse. - Eggs, toast and sausage: OK. All average stuff. Server was nice enough. Attentive enough to refill my drink and make sure I enjoyed everything. Overall, it was fine. I came in for something easy and comforting that didn't cost a bundle, and it did just that. But I would only consider going when travelling, because otherwise, I could make the exact same thing at home.

The location was perfect--just a short walk from our downtown hotel. The restaurant had a great vibe, the food was excellent, and our server was friendly and attentive.

I was trying to keep things on the healthier side, and it turned out to be a great choice. The avocado toast was delicious, and I loved the addition of fresh pico on top--it added a nice burst of flavor. My buddy went with a more traditional breakfast of eggs, bacon, grits, and a waffle. Honestly, the waffle alone looked like it could have been my breakfast! According to John, it tasted just as good as it looked.
