Amazing portions and delicious burgers at that! It's funny but this is the second time I've been to an Asian restaurant and the burgers are unbelievable! This place is tucked away by an old part of Spartanburg downtown but well worth going to this hidden gem!

Potato leek soup
jackie a.

It's a charming building and the chef is super friendly. Her food you can tell that she puts her passion and heart into the menu. We loved the potato leek soup/grilled cheese sandwich & my hubby had the pork shoulder Bahnmi sandwich. I would recommend to come to try and support local small businesses. You will NOT be disappointed.

This place is a hidden gem! The burger was beyond expectations due to the double patties, wonderfully melty cheese, and crispy but not greasy onion rings

Service was great! Very sweet people here! The food was very disappointing and expensive for what you got. $4 for 5 onion rings. Two tiny egg rolls for $3 seriously disappointed. I keep saying this about Spartanburg, if you never had good food, eating crappy food will satisfy your taste buds. Hamburger was hard to mess up, however the pork bacon was cooked to the point I'd refer to as a dog chew. Coming back is not an option. My girlfriends fried rice was flavorless. Will not return... but I am a food snob.

Lunch special
Deborah M.

Just had another amazing meal at Chef AES. There's a new menu and my favorite dish has been eliminated. So we tried the lunch special which was roasted chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes with a mushroom gravy. Everything was delicious.

Great burger with Thai sausage and onion rings. The chicken Biam Mia was the best I have had and sweet potato fries were excellent.

We went in late on Mother's Day and were seated right away. We did have a reservation. We were…read moregreeted by several staff, super friendly atmosphere and unique interior. Sort of reminded me of an old diner that had be renovated to a clean upscale vibe. We ordered the steak kabobs and they were mouthwatering with flavor. My fiancee got an old fashioned and I got a rabbits foot, one of their craft gin cocktails. It was AMAZING, the gentleman's ice cube I believe was made with lavender so as it melted, your drink was even more flavorful and not watered down. He ordered the shiny duck and I the beef fillet and mashed potato. Both were also delicious, this is a farm to table spot so you know it's fresh. One thing which I didn't minus a star for was considering the price point I would think they would offer a vegetable with your meal. Few spears of broccolini or asparagus or carrots, just to make it feel a little more well-rounded of a plate. The were out of a few items being a busy day/night but we didn't mind. We will try them next go around. Our server Erin was just epic, great sense of humor and very attentive! We will be back again and make sure to sit in her section. Cheers to supporting local non chain restaurants!

Love it when we find a hidden gem and The Kennedy is definitely that…read more We sat at the bar and Lindsey provided great service. We had cocktails and they were very good. We had mussels which were excellent and then split a short rib entrée, which was also great. This a very small restaurant but everything was fantastic.

Five stars all the way! From the moment we walked in, we…read morewere greeted with a genuine smile and seated right away. Our drink orders were taken promptly, and when the drinks arrived, they also took our food order -- smooth and attentive service from start to finish. We started with the buffalo chicken dip with pimento cheese and pita bread, which was outstanding. The pita was perfectly toasted on the outside while staying warm and soft on the inside -- absolutely delicious. For our meals, I ordered the Down South Chicken Sandwich, and my girlfriend chose the Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich. Both were excellent. We cut them in half so we could try each other's, and honestly, I loved both. The flavors, freshness, and quality really stood out. I live in Greenville, and I would gladly make the 50-minute drive just to eat here again. Amazing food, friendly service, and a great overall experience. Highly recommend -- I'll definitely be back soon!

Service was genuinely great. Our server was personable and worked hard to elevate an experience…read morethat didn't give them much to work with, which is why I tipped well above the check average. The food, though? You'd be better off grabbing a box of Spinx chicken and a tall boy. As for the atmosphere--just a few neon lights trying (and failing) to distract from the fact that what they call "hot" is barely lukewarm. Update for the owners response: We ordered the Flocking Hot sauce on our sandwich. What we received was essentially the no-heat sauce with a few pepper flakes sprinkled in. We even asked for extra sauce, assuming there had been a mistake in reading the ticket--but the ramekin was the same: no heat, just pepper flakes. It was mild enough that my children dipped their nuggets in it. Rather than becoming defensive, it may be more productive to address and rectify the consistency and accuracy issues being pointed out.

Suitcase Social Club Dispatch No. 47: "Timmy vs. The Lumberjacks"…read more If you've ever wondered what happens when a grown man with sales quotas, a mild caffeine imbalance, and the attention span of a golden retriever discovers competitive lumberjack sports streaming on the bar TV... well, allow me to submit Exhibit A. I wandered into Main Street Bar & Eatery for what was supposed to be a "quick bite between quotes." Instead, I became spiritually welded to a barstool while the TV blasted a man in flannel yeeting a chainsaw like it owed him money. And the fried pickles. Good grief. Those things ambushed me. One minute I'm thinking "I'll just have a snack," and the next I'm waist-deep in a basket of fried circles of temptation, crunching my way into oblivion while pretending to "work." My laptop was open, sure, but let's not lie to ourselves -- I got absolutely nothing done. I was too busy yelling advice at professional lumberjacks like I'd trained for this moment my whole life. Tim the Suitcase Regular Rating Breakdown: * Atmosphere: Cozy but with the unpredictable energy of a log-rolling final * Food: Fried pickles that could ruin a man's productivity in the best possible way * Service: Friendly, fast, and kindly nonjudgmental of whatever fever dream I was living in * Entertainment: 10/10 involuntary lumberjack immersion If you're looking for a place where you can lose an entire afternoon under the noble banner of "I swear I'm still working", Main Street Bar & Eatery is the arena. Suitcase Social Club™ stamp of approval: Earned.
