my wife and I tried out Draper on a getaway weekend and had the best pork chop we have ever had. Atmosphere and service was was great, anlso enjoyed some unique drinks! Will definitely come back if ever in the area again read more

My partner and I went here for dinner on 12.19. Before we were to head to our evening show down the street. We were sat in the bar area because they were short staffed. Yes, I know, you sit in the bar area and one of the bartenders wait on you. Well this night was horrible. The bartender that waited on us appeared to have better things to do than wait on us. I unstated having bad days, but leave them at home before you come to work. She never one time offered to get us refills on our drinks, she never one time smiled. She only took our order after 20 mins after I told her we were ready to order. The appetizer we got before dinner was cold. It's came out 4 mins prior to our meal. It was tasteless. It was as though the chef had planned his menu during his shift. The main course was gross and waaaayyyy over spiced. It was like the cook was covering up the bad food. I can cook better at home on any given day than they did. The ambiance of the place was ok. Not hung I would ever go out of my way to go to again or even recommend to friends. I would give this place a zero if I could but 1 was the lowest I could go. read more

Place was cool - was so hoping to find amazing food but it was just meh- my husband who loves shrimp and grits did not even finish the over smokey flavor. I had a salad and added salmon (dry and overcooked) Service at the bar was friendly - but the food did not add up to the cool vibes of the place read more

Such a fun night at Draper Purveying Company! I went to the Old Forester Whiskey Row Dinner and it was awesome. The food was incredible -- every course had that perfect southern comfort vibe, and each one was paired with a different bourbon that totally worked. You could tell the chef and team put a lot of thought into it. The staff made the whole experience even better -- super friendly, easy to talk to, and really knew their bourbon. The atmosphere was relaxed but still felt special, like one of those nights you just don't want to end. Draper is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in downtown Greenville. Can't wait to go back for their next event! read more

A last minute reservation for a team dinner after rescheduling an original team reservation was a perfect evening with the Draper staff. The staff was so accommodating and welcoming to our team from Wisconsin. They immediately felt like they were at home with a warm ambiance, a great server and team who made piping hot appetizers, and went through each detail of the ingredient for those at the table needing clarity for allergies and preferences. I missed taking photos of the two orders of fried Brussel sprouts, two crab cakes, 1 jalapeño cornbread and burrata. Each appetizer was delicious and the service balancing the midwestern guests was perfectly paired with accompanying beverages for our meals. Chefs kiss to the crab cakes-- my coworker originally born in South Georgia said, "it tastes like my nana made this' and you can taste the 'southern hospitality in the way the corn was prepared'. Our entrees were delicious. The salmon was perfectly cooked, the risotto had such balanced flavors and man, if I could have licked the plate, I would have. The balance of flavors was a melody of true art of sitting at the table with great service, company, and ending a team dinner with teammates who felt the welcome to the South. read more

Draper Purveying - Salmon - Bars Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

I had heard of the opening of Draper Purveying in the former space of Barley's Pizzeria and had the chance to visit here for lunch on a Friday. I made a reservation via Open Table for noon, thinking it would be crowded. Turns out, as the manager, Keith said, "lunch is still pretty hit-or-miss" with the crowd. Evenings are more crowded for dinner service, and the upstairs event space becomes a live music scene on weekends nights called the Cats Pajamas, open until 2AM. See my attached photos of this renovation from what formerly was an upper end pool hall. There are many tables here that can fit parties of six to eight. The front section of the restaurant can be closed off to serve a private party of 20, seated at three tables. This latter space has window seating right on Washington. The two of us arrived on time and were promptly seated, given a menu and received iced water in what I originally thought was a plastic cup but instead was a Draper logo glass which resembled a plastic cup. All this happened inside of 3 minutes. And a minute later, we were ready to order and our order was taken. Y Keith. All that happened within five minutes, so the service was proving out excellent. I chose the blackened mahi mahi tacos on grilled flour tortillas with poblano slaw and grilled pineapple salsa with regular fries. My favorite wife chose the hand battered chicken tenders with Cajun lemon pepper fries. My mahi tacos were $15 and her tenders were $13. So the prices and portions are also shaping up as excellent. And wouldn't you know it, the food arrived at 12:15, promptly brought to our table by Keith. We did have another wait staff check on us several times for anything we may have been missing, or for refills, so it wasn't just Keith at front of house. I looked around and noted the "crowd". Including us, there were four two tops, then a table of seven and a table of five and then one solo diner. I was surprised that the restaurant has yet to make the lunch crowd traction and hence my earlier reported discussion with Keith. We were also told about Saturday and Sunday brunch, which sounds quite lovely, beginning at 11 on Saturday and 10 on Sunday. Inquiring about reservations, we were told we could make them for brunch, but it's easy to squeeze in two for seating. That's on our "to do" list. The mahi was cooked perfectly, the blackening was just right, noticeable and not overwhelming the slaw and salsa. It was one delicious, juicy bite with well proportioned ingredient ratios for a composed dish flavor. Shoestring fries accompanied with the Cajun lemon pepper dry spice, crispy and not limp or "sweating" and a good sized portion was provided. My wife loved the fresh chicken tenders, hand breaded and not the frozen pre-breaded type, so they were crisp, juicy and also with a light crunch such that she remarked, "these do not need any sauce, sauce would take away from the flavor." We were invited to go upstairs and take a peek at that event space and were even more impressed with the make over done by Draper. Now, we need to make future plans for a brunch and for a dinner, but I'll leave the "open 'til 2AM" Cats Pajamas crowd on their own. Excellent food and value for lunch! read more

Brunch was excellent, with the chicken and grits being a standout. Our server was engaged and attentive, and we loved the ambience.

Hubby and I tried out this new spot in downtown Greenville after I spotted the advertisement on my IG page. Draper restaurant is in a nice location and there seemed to be a nice crowd on this particular night. From what we learned they have been open for two weeks and this was the first night that they were at full capacity. It's very nicely decorated and decor is fitting for the name! Everyone seemed to have a good time from what I could see. There was a bar, a small room that could be used for a small group interested in private dining. The wait staff were GREAT and so helpful and friendly!! I think it's nice when management checks in with you to make sure that you are satisfied with everything. And the general manager did just that! Over all, I will be back. I ate my entire salad...which I very rarely My only critique is that it was very loud...and maybe that was because everyone was excited and there were so many people that particular night. One other interesting tidbit is that they have an awesome event space on the second floor!!! It's called the Cats Meow! There are several couches, a lovely bar and a stage for artists to perform! You should check them out!! read more

What a great spot ! We came here last night and enjoyed our visit. The atmosphere is wonderful. Staff is extremely friendly and kind. I would make a reservation before though. We had the beef tenderloin appetizer--so good! We finished dinner with the fried chicken and penne. We will be back. Prices are reasonable and food had great flavor, and lots of options. read more

We have been to the Draper many times and often sit at the bar for our meal. The service is always amazing and friendly. The bartenders/servers have made recommendations, including for choices I wouldn't have normally made, and we're always happy we followed their suggestions. The menu is creative and delicious for both food and drinks. Last night, we met friends there who had never been before. This time, we sat at a table. The service was just as good, and our friends were blown away by the food. Every time we go, we're greeted like family. We love going to the Draper and will continue to go often. read more

Nice under the radar restaurant. Have been twice now- food and service very good both times. The location is good and prices not bad. Good spot- right next to Trappe Door. read more

Excellent food and service! Ribeye was cooked to perfection. Great beer and drink selection.

We were invited to Draper for dinner by new acquaintances. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere was nice but not too loud so we could enjoy conversation with new friends. The meal was fantastic, perfectly cooked with great flavor. We had the pork chops and chicken. Will definitely come back and bring more friends. read more

We had dinner, drinks and dessert last night and let's just say everything was amazing. The salmon, risotto and spinach was delicious. We started with the Brussel spouts and Fried Green Tomatoes. Best Fried Green Tomatoes I have ever had! My husband had the Chicken Fried Chicken and loved it. The drinks were exactly what I like. Ashe is a great bartender, excellent attention to the balance of the ingredients. Taylor gave us wonderful attention as our server. Was there when we needed her but did not hover. AND can't say enough about the Pan Brownie with ice cream and a peanut butter crumble sprinkle. Will we go back again? YES! Love the old brick and soft lighting of the restaurant. read more

Make sure you look at your bills carefully. I ordered a draft that was priced on the menu at $8. Was billed $12. When i questioned the bar tender he said it is normally $12 but mistakenly listed at $10 on the menu which didnt make any sense at all. Didnt wanna argue about it so paid the bill and asked to speak to the manager on my way out. Mentioned to him and all he had to say was i am sorry about that and seem like he knew exactly what was going on. I suppose that will be my 1st and last time there. read more

Went to the bar on the top of this place (charges are under "Draper Purveying" so assuming they are one and the same.) I got 1 high noon and closed my tab. Signed the receipt and tipped. ($9 for the drink and not positive what I tipped) I looked at my card today (2 days later) and there are 3 charges: one for $66.88, one for $28.08, and one for $12.04 (I'm assuming this one was the high noon + tip). Just want this to be a heads up for all to pay cash if you're gonna go there cause if not they might charge you !!!! $107 for 1 high noon !!!! read more

Fabulous food! Drinks great as well. I had the chicken fried chicken which has just a hint of chorizo. Not too overpowering, just right. My husband had the pork two ways. We both loved the meal and all the sides. read more

It was our second experience here and it was amazing yet again. We had the tuna appetizer and the penne vodka with a petite filet and the salmon... both entrees were full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The salmon had a nice crisp outside and tender juicy center, the filet was cooked to request of medium and had great peppercorn flavor. We ate everything so quick we forgot to take a photo but we also got to enjoy the crème brûlée and espresso martinis for dessert and they also did not disappoint! Staff is prompt and friendly as well. The decor is new modern but comfortable. A wonderful add to downtown Greenville read more

Great food great service! We ate there three times while we were in town. All of the food was amazing. This is a hidden gem!

The place looks great, food is great, but the noise level here is way beyond any restaurant I've been to in Greenville. They need to install noise dampening panels or something - our party was very frustrated as we couldn't hear each other, had to practically shout, and kept having to repeat. Definitely more of a bar vibe but don't come here for a romantic dinner or a business meeting. Management - pls do something. read more

Beautiful place, service was wonderful for a Sunday brunch. Bloody Mary, Grits, eggs, potatoes were all great, but the biscuits are not like real buttermilk biscuits. They were more like a bready / chewy batter type of biscuit. Only wish would be to get real southern style buttermilk biscuits. It still love it here and will be back. The chicken and grits was fabulous. read more

I had the most pleasant experience here. The atmosphere is nice. Our server was lovely. But man, that food was legit. I probably commented on it a dozen times during dinner. I've already made another reservation to return and am bringing people. Super good. Well done! read more

We arrived exactly on time for our reservation, and were told no tables were available. To avoid a 20-30 minute wait (past our reservation time), we opted for an outdoor table. Not ideal, but ok. Service was fine, friendly and prompt, so I'll focus on my food and beverage issues. We started with a round of cocktails. They were quite good, however they were served in a glass that was wrong for the cocktail. The cocktail barely filled 1/2 the glass, which gave the appearance of a short pour, or that we were receiving someone else's half finished cocktail. It's important to choose the right glass for your cocktail. Food Caesar Salad - salad was stuffed into a much too small bowl. Just putting my fork in for first bite caused most of the toppings to fall on the table. Bigger bowl or plate, please. Also the croutons were commercial croutons, which aren't very appealing. Salmon - definitely sat under a heating lamp too long. The plate was too hot to touch, there was that film on the risotto from sitting too long and drying out. Salmon also dried out due to sitting under heat. The risotto was quite tasty. The salmon suffered from a lack of/omission of salt. Side of broccolini- looking back at the menu, it says grilled. It was not grilled...lightly steamed or boiled at best. It arrived at the table cold, without a hint of seasoning. None. No hint of olive oil, salt, nothing. Just cold unseasoned broccolini. Fried chicken- the mashed potatoes were buttery and really tasty. Unfortunately they were the highlight. The chicken, again, suffered from sitting under a heat lamp, and was very lacking in salt. The corn on the cob was "toothsome "...in other words, quite undercooked. Once more, no seasoning on the corn at all...just boiled semi-raw corn. I hope the owners/chef take this constructive criticism to work through some new restaurant growing pains and improve, as this is a famous , classic location in Greenville , and it'd be great to have a great restaurant there. read more

Just came back from a girls weekend in Greenville. Draper Purveying was by far the best food and service we experienced. The Crispy Brussels and Fried Green Tomatoes were phenomenal. The staff is so attentive and friendly, and the bar/restaurant is lovely. We will be back. read more

New local gem! Went by late on a Friday where we were staying at the Aloft across the street. Was by myself and in need of a good and comfortable place after a day of college tours with my son. Ashe and Trenton were amazing barkeeps - had the coffee rubbed tenderloin appetizer (ridiculously tasty and good size for me) and pimento cheese risotto - on Ashe's recommendation. Both were delicious. My wine was nice as well. It has only been open a month as of this writing. Would come back again. Loved it! read more

Wow! Great early on experience at Draper Purveying Co.! Ash the bartender is one of the best bartenders in the city! Phenomenal cocktails! Great flavor profiles with expert service!

Service was very good. Some in group ordered fried chicken, pork chops.salmon and shrimp n grits. All reported their food as good.

And the filling was no more than a few tablespoons of food. Deserts were ok. read more

We visited Draper a second time as our first was problematic. However, the manager reached out to us and graciously invited us to return. Our server was delightful and provided great service.

Our Company had a National Sales Meeting in Greenville on January 28-30, 2025. Our final night dinner was at Draper Purveying. We had 60 attendees. Lisa and her staff provided amazing results.

This place was AWESOME. We decided to stop by because we missed our reservations and we are sure glad we did. The staff were extremely friendly, and everyone was super accommodating. Owner came out and talked to us just because he noticed we were from the same area code. The food was also phenomenal not a single bad dish. We got the jalapeño cornbread, which might seriously be the best cornbread I've ever had. We also got the Burata which was spectacular. The braised beef and risotto special was outstanding. I was mad I couldn't finish the whole dish. Recommend this place to anyone. The first time I have ever been moved to write a positive yelp review! read more

After being seated I had realized quickly I left my ID in the car. My friend went to grab it for me. A waiter then approached me and just stared at me standing at the end of the table this was odd because instead of him asking me if i needed anything I had to ask him ?! My friend returned and I told him the odd experience i just encountered. The same waiter then returned to ask our drink order I handed him my ID (military ID) and he began to almost study it I had to point out where my DOB was, he then holds my ID for 2 minutes flipping it back and fourth while not saying a word. I then proceeded to say its a military ID my husbands in the navy. apparently this conversation confused him as he handed me back my ID and starts to examine my friends. He then starts questioning me "so your husbands in navy what does he do?" "where is he from" "whats his job" My friend and I started to get uncomfortable as he continued to ask personal questions. His demeanor was way off made me feel very uncomfortable. he finally takes our order and the manager then approaches us to see my ID im getting frustrated at this point, he asked to see it as well Explaining that this bartender was new and he was just concerned about my ID excuse me? I will not be returning. read more
