You won't find a neighborhood restaurant anywhere close to Greenville doing what chef Shawn Kelly set out to do: provide both neighbors and visitors alike the Upstate's freshest and most plentiful meats, produce, and products, both as a dine-in and carryout option.This concept supports the idea that farmers and chefs can make a living supplying a community with its daily necessities, while also encouraging enjoyment of a simple meal of a sandwich or steak, chop, or bake.Just imagine: Wednesdays become your favorite lunch day of fresh and locally-sourced soups and salads with a friend. Then you get a favorite bottle of wine to bring home, coupled with carefully chosen side dishes and the best burgers and fresh Carolina seafood in Greenville to throw on the grill. Or maybe you even have a long-standing Sunday brunch date!

    This was unexpectedly, an absolutely fabulous evening. From the greeting to the seating to the serving, to the dining, everything went smoothly. Alexis, our server was somebody I would like to know anytime! She is an achiever, personable, and highly professional… as well as interested in us and who we were.! And then the food…all three of us had outstanding results with the choices we had taken from a quite extensive menu. Everything was beautifully prepared and served, but there were really creative, unexpected results from the chef to make these choices exceptional. We were all so surprised and grateful. Astute Alexis, our delightful server picked up on this and invited the young chef, John to come out to visit with us. Having been experienced myself and well traveled with wonderful dining opportunities, I believe that if he does not lose this optimism and willingness to take chances on his creative but knowledgeable skills,he is going to be very well-known someday.I almost asked for an autograph! He was so personable he persuaded us to have a dessert we hadn’t planned on, and it was way beyond anything we had dreamed of. We were so thankful that we had chosen this place to celebrate the birthday of one of us. Bravo.

    Our group of seven adults covered the chicken side of the menu from chicken and waffles to sweet tea chicken sandwich to southern BLT sandwich to sweet and spicy chicken sandwich to chicken tenders and all were delicious. Starting off the meal with Bicuits for a Cause is always the right choice. Our server was very attentive and set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable family celebration.

    Wonderful time celebrating my sister's Bachelorette! Cristal L was our server and so nice and attentive. The drinks were expensive but so worth the price. The drinks have fun trinkets and tasted amazing. The ambience and music of the restaurant was good. We didn't eat food there, we just went for drinks. We had reservations and were seated at our table immediately. The restaurant was so nice in letting us moving our reservation back (of course we did this with plenty of time to spare, not last minute). They also give you a 15 min grace period if you are running slightly behind.

    Our server was very attentive and on top of things. I never ran out of water and she checked on us frequently, but not overwhelming. Great food!! The Brussel sprouts were among the best I have eaten and rivaled a dish from Chicago! Loved it!!
