    My friends and I came here for my friend's bachelorette brunch. This is the cutest spot and the food and drinks were delicious. Our waitress was the sweetest and so patient with us. I hate to give a bad review because our overall experience was great. We came in and they got us seated and accommodated all of our needs but it was brought to my attention that the bar tender was conversing with another guest at the restaurant about our table and it made all of us very uncomfortable. One of the ladies with us had her son with us and he was fussy and having a rough day. He's teething so nothing and no one but his mother could settle him and even he was giving her a hard time. All of us at the table asked her multiple times if we could hold him or help in any way so she could eat or at least try to enjoy her time but he would throw a fit if anyone else would try to console him. I said all that to say this, I find it very rude and unacceptable for the bartender to make any kind of comments or have conversations with other guests about how she didn't understand why no one at the table was helping her with her son or offered to hold him so that his mother could eat. There is no reason for anyone to comment on a situation like that and I was very disappointed that the conversation was even had. Would I come back, yes because the food and service really was incredible but it breaks my heart that that even happened.

    Alright so second time is the charm. This time, we ordered an appetizer salad, two entrees and dessert. The takeaway to a better experience was getting a large plate instead of sampling small plates. They just had better execution. Our server Blake had the best personality, which also made the experience enjoyable. I never order dessert, but had to take a piece of the biscoff cheesecake home. It did not disappoint. Love the fact that getting reservations for a weekend for two is relatively easy a couple nights prior and that there is a new parking lot so you don't have to fight for a street spot. Well done, FM Eatery, I've been converted.

    Blackened redfish, brussel sprouts.

    I visited FM Eatery during lunch. It's a cute, little place in Main Street. I was able to secure a spot on the street but there is parking behind the various buildings as well. In my new role as a consultant, I cross-cross the country and one of my favorite things to do is let the locals direct me to their favorite spots. I have eaten excellent Mexican in El Paso, delighted in juicy Lucy's in Minneapolis, and been overwhelmed by history and delicious gumbo in New Orleans. Fort Mill was not a place I expected to have a similar experience. I ordered the Daily Hooker, a blackened redfish sandwich with a side of brussel sprouts. Seems simple enough, and it was, but there is something about food done right that puts it over the top. The seasoning on the redfish was perfect. Not so heavy you can't taste the fish, but enough that you could feel the bite of the blackening. And I have no idea what they did to the sprouts, but they were just perfect. The flavor is just "different." According to Andrew, my waiter, they do a dinner dish with shrimp and a sauce that is even better. I have no idea how, but I look forward to discovering this. This place is a winner. The service was exceptional, the restaurant is small but delightful, and the food is simply excellent.

    Attaching pictures to the last review. For some reason it didn't come through. I can't wait to be back here.

    loved the ambiance. The music seemed out of place but once the crowd started to arrive,you could not hear it. I liked the drink and the small bites. I thought the parpadelle pasta was a bit thick. The only thing I was not super keen on was the crème brûlée. I thought it was way too sweet.i think if you just went with the lemongrass, it might have been better. I enjoyed the food and the experience

    "People who love to eat are always the best people." - Julia Child The FM Eatery is also Fortes Mill because the owner/chef is Fortes. So it's here in the downtown district of Fort Mill and so there's plenty of parking nearby unless there is soem sort of special event. We arrived here on a Saturday afternoon and the brunch menu was still going. Warmly welcomed and seated immediately, we looked over the menu. Mrs. K. ordered a mocktail "Berry Smash" with mint and berries that she thoroughly enjoyed. I had a "Dad Beer" from their menu. For mains, it was a tough call as there are quite a few fabulous options. In the end, it was the Blueberry Pancakes for Mrs. K. (with lemon zest!) and the Sweet Potato Tot Hash for me. Both were served quickly and still hot from the kitchen. We enjoyed it very much but big portions and so the remains ended up being reheated for breakfast the next day. A lovely location with delightful food and we enjoyed spending a good piece of our Saturday afternoon here. [Review 87 of 2025 - 1244 in South Carolina - 23655 overall]

    It's been a little over a year since my last review so time for an update. Ben & I went for lunch on Tuesday. It was busy @ 1230p, 20 minute wait for a table so we sat @ the bar. It was fine, we got great service from Brittany who was my server last time. We each had the steak sandwich with grilled Brussels sprouts. I wanted the steak tacos but they only served with corn tortillas which we all know fall apart after the first bite. Ben also got the hot chicken Sando & the FM Burger 'to go'. We were both pleased with the steak sandwich though mine was just a little in the rare side. The fried egg, sunny side up was an interesting spin but liked the added protein option. Ben got a visit from Jason, now Manger after leaving the same post @ next door Hobo's. He said their lunch business had been steadily climbing for the last year. I really like their creative menu. They have a daily ' blue plate' lunch special.

    Best breakfast in the area with outstanding coffee and warm, welcoming g service. Don't pass up on the amazing blueberry pancakes, the burger or either dishes with fried chicken, chicken and waffle or the chicken sandwich

    Spicy crunchy fried chicken
    Ted G.

    Truly delicious! We had an amazing lunch and can't wait to return for dinner. (Worth the drive from Charlotte.) Brittany guided us through the menu and her enthusiasm and love of the restaurant came through! My fried chicken and waffle with hot honey was perfect. Very crisp chicken. Best I've ever had. And brussels sprouts. Will be hard not to order this again. The other meal was a spicy fried chicken sandwich- and it was also excellent.

    Was driving back from Charleston and decided to stop in FM for dinner at FM Eatery which was along the way and had great ratings. Sat at the bar and Bridgette was the bar tender Started with an OMB Mecktoberfest. For an entree I ordered shrimp & scallops grits. Patiently waiting for my entree..... The entree arrived quickly and was consumed almost as quickly! Great meal. I enjoyed the seat on the scallops and the flavor of the sauce. The sausage and spinach and tomatoes added just the right texture and flavor. I highly recommend the shrimp & scallop grits and the FM Eatery in general. Great welcoming and relaxed place in small town Fort Mill.Cheers!

    Bourbon Chicken with Mango Rice
    Ray A.

    Have been staying Rock Hill, SC for a couple days on business. Decided to venture out a bit and stumbled on this place. This restaurant had a great small town, upscale ambiance to it. Service was knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered the Large plate Bourbon chicken, mango rice, and scallops plate, and Brussels small plate. They were both really good and made with lots of different flavors. If you are in the area I recommend this spot, especially for a family or husband and wife date night type of vibe.

    Bang Bang Shrimp with slaw, fermented hot sauce and crunchy peanuts
    Robert C.

    FM Eatery has become our go-to local restaurant for upscale meals in a casual setting. How do I describe the food here? Websites call it "Southern", "Global", "American", even "Soul". None are entirely accurate. What the Fortes family have done is fill a menu with their favorite dishes - and then add their own unique twists to them. So we have fried oysters - with a crunchy fried chicken coating. Or squash bisque - with candied pears, ameretto cookie crumble and balsamic vinegar. Or bacon wrapped dates with a bourbon honey glaze. And every small or large plate we've ordered has been delicious. Our objective has been to work our way through the menu - a near impossible task because numerous dishes are rotated in and out. (Not to mention daily specials, once my wife and I shared a bowl of Ramen.) We've taken to sitting at the bar when it's available. It's comfortable and we enjoy interacting with the friendly bartender and service staff. On our last visit I ordered the Big Bang Burger. This was seriously the best burger I've had in a very long time. Start with smashed wagyu beef patties (charred on the edges yet still tender in the middle) add carmelized onions, pork belly, house-made pickles, cheese, and fried egg on a brioche bun. Delicious! And huge, it made a second meal for me. I can't recommend Fortes Mill Eatery highly enough. Give it a try, it's now open for lunch and Sunday Brunch as well as for dinner.

As usual for me, I had to try the Chicken and waffle sandwich! There were pieces of bacon in the batter that made the waffle and a large piece of deep fried chicken. The sandwich ate a bit dry so I asked for some syrup to pour over the waffle. It did come with a maple aioli but I just prefer regular syrup. The hand cut fries were thick but hot and fully cooked. Very good! My mom ordered the build your own burger instead of getting one of their many signature burgers. Her meal came thick and stacked and juicy!
