    Patats bravas
    Isaiah V.

    Very average experience. Went here for date night and ford and shep did not deliver on the value. The total for the bill was $80 for 3 appetizers and 2 drinks. Although the drinks and service were outstanding the food was very average. The handpie was mushy and the patatas bravas far too salty. The Brussel sprouts seemed like a dish we could make at home. The entrance was incredibly hard to find as it is connected to different restaurants seemingly in between two places. Although the experience wasn't fully bad I did enjoy coming here for the first time to an extent, because it's one of the only nice restaurants in Greenville, I just wouldn't come here again though. The staff did an excellent job and were very attentive and interior was very well decorated. However I don't think this lived fully up to my expectations...

    Get the brussels sprouts!!

    This is my favorite place in Greenville to eat! Every birthday, anniversary, celebration we go here and it's always an amazing experience with different dishes to enjoy. The atmosphere is enjoyable and the servers are always nice and welcoming.

    I wanted to take a minute to talk about how amazing Ford and Shep is. Over the past 6 months I have eaten here countless times with my boyfriend. Every time we come here the food, service and experience is top notch. We are always blown away by the food and can't wait to come back. Last night we had the brussel sprouts, pork belly bao buns, beef tartare, lamb chops, the strawberry fields salad and the duck entree. We ate every last bite and would have licked the plates. This is truly the best dinner spot in Eastern NC! If you're looking for an amazing dinner experience, this is it.

    I have been here several times in the past month or so and my favorites have been the steak, octopus, shrimp toast, and salads. Anything over the cabbage stir fry rice is going to need lots of salt, but when the fish is over the risotto it is delicious. The soft shell crab was delicious but over the bland cabbage stir fry which was a no-go, I asked if they could put it over risotto instead and they said no. The steak and potatoes was one of my favorites and cooked perfectly. Super cute inside and has a beautiful bar, service is good and fast. You just have to know what to order.

    Don't walk, run to eat here. Lovely people, lovely food and beautiful cocktails. Excellent service. Loved it so much I ate dinner two nights in a row - and they remembered me and my dinner partner and our preferences in billing. Would make a detour just to eat here if I am in NC anytime again. You'll all in Greenville have a gem here. Treasure it.

    BEST DATE NITE!! I could not have picked a better place to spend our Friday date night. I'm so grateful we were able to make a reservation the same night as graduation, totally forgetting how busy it would be. For drinks, I had the pomegranate spritz which was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. I later had the empress which was a little too spirit forward for me, but very pretty (as it was purple). For starters, I enjoyed the scallops which was PHENOMENAL!!! I will definitely be back for those. I'm still salivating over the green coconut curry sauce. My bf has the cheese plate which he very much enjoyed with the variation of cheese and jams. For entree, I thoroughly enjoyed the trout which was cooked to perfect. The best feeling was the lightness and freshness of the dish.....never did I feel heavy after finishing the entire plate. Of course I couldn't resist dessert after a meal like this! The buttermilk pie was the perfect evening to such a beautiful night with my love. It was creamy, sweet, and savory. I truly can't wait to return. Yes, our bill for 2 was $$$, but what else do you expect for an amazing date night?! It was absolutely worth it. Love the atmosphere, the warm greeting of the staff, and the food!!

    Manhattan. Don't recommend.

    Great Greenville restaurant. We had the tuna tartare, redfish, and duck. The tuna tartare was great. Fish was fresh and great way to start our meal. Both the redfish and duck were cooked perfectly. Really enjoyed the duck; perfect sear and super tender. For both the duck and the redfish, which again were amazing, were muted by a large portion of sides which, at least for the duck, did not seem well paired. Just my opinion since the protein portion of the dish was excellent. Drinks were not great. Very bitter and almost medicinal in flavor. Dessert was also a let down. We had the oatmeal cream pie and the cookie portion was very hard. We did make reservations but open seating was available. We sat inside by the window. Very cozy setting. I will note since we did move that all the tables were very sticky and silverware was bent and heavily worn. Minor but with the prices I felt this is something that shouldn't be overlooked. Service was great. Super friendly and helpful.

    First time dining at this place and was disappointed that we got placed in the green room because I preferences the dining room on my reservation. The main dining room is very cool and pretty however, the Green room was extremely underwhelming and way too quiet. The cocktails we're Instagram worthy as well as the food however over priced for the portion size. Would only come back if I were able to sit in the main dining room.

From the parts I got to see inside was small table seating around the bar. We got lucky to sit in at the outdoor covered patio seating which was great minus perhaps some outdoor heaters to warm it up a bit. Service was good overall. Servers were fun and helpful. Service a bit slow on our drink refills but the food running and table bussing was fast. Food was great, wished I had taken pics to share. Menu consisted of a good selection of apps, sandwiches, burgers and sides. Everything we tried was great. Chicken nachos were awesome, wish they had been a bit bigger but the topping portions was perfect and the taste amazing. The Cuban and fried pork chop sandwiches were again great and the spicy sweet potato fries were so good. Potion sizes were good and the food tasty. The nachos and spicy sweet potato fries were my faves. While probably not the place for young families, this was a hidden gem and fantastic find. Not really for those in wheelchairs as it is tight getting through the bar area, but there was a small ramp I recall. Bathrooms could use some work, about what you'd expect at your local dive bar but only a single stall and could be cleaner. Highly recommend this place.

Again, they do not honor their commitments and the communication about expectations/fees was nonexistent. Horrible experience. Beware!

Let me also say that I am the consummate "foodie", my life has been driven by my passion for all types of food. When I dine, I try to go into the restaurant with no expectations, so you can pretty much trust what I am telling you about the experience. With that being said, we had just moved to Greenville a few days before and decided we needed to treat ourselves after the week of moving and unpacking. We decided on The Rickhouse, notwithstanding the fact that my first name is Rick! Anyway, we were sat immediately, and were approached quickly by our waiter, Christian. In short, Christian was fabulous throughout the entire meal, even considering the fact that it was only his first week on the job. He certainly has a flair for waiting tables. We ordered drinks and I have had a fair amount of Grey Goose dirty martinis in my life and let me tell you, the bartender knocked this one out of the ballpark. One of the best I have ever had anywhere! We ordered an app, the Chef Crab Dip and it was wonderful. Not too crabby, perfect blend of cheeses and pita chips that I am pretty sure are house-made. I had the Chicken Cordon Bleu which was absolutely out of this world! I got to sample the other two entrees at the table, which were the Garlic Parm Chicken Pasta and the special that evening, which was a bacon wrapped Filet Mignon topped with a bacon jam. Both of them were also to die for! We didn't have dessert as we were stuffed already. The bill was $189, which I didn't consider bad as we had an app, three entrees and six drinks. While some might consider that a lot for dinner, I'm also the guy that doesn't bat an eye at spending $600 for a dinner for two at a gourmet French restaurant. Anyway, I can't recommend The Rickhouse enough. Everything from start to finish was just about as perfect of an experience as you can get at a restaurant! I just hope our next visit will be as wonderful as our first!
