I got the Cuban flatbread, daughter artichoke spinach potstickers and my wife the salmon salad. Everybody loved it. Brandy was our server and was great. We eat out a lot and honestly the food at a lot of places has gotten worse over last few years... higher prices worse food. Kounter restored my faith back in the restaurant industry. They still care and it was a deal. Anytime we are near we will go out of our way yo stop back in. Want to go to dinner next time! Blaine

We stopped for a late lunch, so getting a table wasn't an issue. We were greeted and seated…read moreimmediately. It took a bit from there, but we definitely arrived at a weird time, so that's not a negative. We ordered the cauliflower nugs and edamame as apps and both were spot on. The flavors were great! Loved the sauces and texture of the cauliflower (literally cooked perfectly - crispy but definitely cooked without being mushy - if you order cauliflower you know that I mean here!). The hot honey chicken sandwich was HUGE. The smashburger was delicious. And, the Brussels and fries were perfect sides. This place is legit. The venue is not big, but it's inviting to a trendy crowd. If you need 5 star elegance - skip it. But, if you want great flavors and perfectly cooked food in a fun atmosphere- check this out! Worth it!

We had to sit at the high top table strip facing the street as those were the only seats available. Anyways the service and food were both great!! The staff were all super friendly.

So...Despite my initial impressions, I finally revisited with my husband on a weeknight. Even on a…read moreTuesday night, the place was packed! Still, we managed to get seated right away... This time, I was happy to see that their menu has changed. Not extensive by any means, but a bit larger than the one I saw on my first visit. The menu also included the Hot Honey Pizza! So I ordered this...and my husband ordered the Caesar Chicken Sando w/ Brussels Sprouts. We shared the foods...and surprisingly, I loved the taste of the Chicken Sando that my husband ordered! Maybe even more than the pizza? The pizza was good though...with a very generous load of crispy pepperoni. It was also enough to feed 2. If I recall, I thought the foods were way too greasy my first time around. This time, it wasn't that bad. I also enjoyed their Mango cocktail. A bit small in portion, but strong and tasty! Service was good too. Despite how busy it was, our waitress did a fine job attending to us. Just as I thought last time, the decor was very cozy...and truly retro, in the most authentic way. I just wished there was some music overhead...that would have really completed the ambiance. In any case, this experience was MUCH better than the last...so here's my review upgrade!

Another Sunday Funday, meeting a girlfriend for brunch and discovering another gem in Rock Hill!…read moreThis time, we found Flipside Restaurant, and everything we had today was absolutely outstanding! We started with the Smoked Maple Old Fashioned and Pineapple Express--they have such a great cocktail menu! The Yogurt Parfait was the perfect bite with fresh berries, honey, Greek yogurt, and crispy granola. My husband ordered the Grit Bowl with creamy pimento cheese, pulled pork, an over-easy egg, and spicy mayo. Talk about comfort food done right! My girlfriend got the Burger, and it was amazing! The combination of pimento cheese and bacon jam was SO good. I went with the Biscuit Bake--creamy sausage gravy, aged cheddar, bacon, and an over-easy egg. Another totally drool-worthy bite! Everything was delicious, the drinks were fantastic, and the whole experience was a win. We will definitely be back!

The beer on tap was all good, local brews, and just happened to be $5 per draft on Thursdays! I got the original burger, because it was national burger day. Overall, good flavor and execution (except maybe a little salty). I ordered the sweet potato fries on the side and was disappointed when they came out covered in cinnamon and sugar. This was not mentioned on the menu or anywhere else. Had I known, I would have requested them to come without it.

I am usually surprised at how easy it is to get a seat. It's a big space which helps but the food is so good. I always anticipate having to wait. Unless there is a sporting event next-door, I can usually find a place at the bar or get a table. If you sit at the bar, hope Mariah is there. She makes a good cocktail and she's incredibly sweet. Food is consistent and very good. Their smoked wings must be the best in town get the lemon pepper rub in the house made blue cheese dip. You won't regret it. The blackened chicken Caesar salad is also a huge hit. I highly recommend this place. Enjoy!

We arrived at an odd hour, hungry and tired from a day of driving from early morning until about 3…read morepm. We were a little confused as to how to enter the restaurant, but I chalk that up to being tired. The space is wide open and airy, with large windows and skylights. The restaurant was nice and clean, save for something that was splashed on the wall in our booth - but it's a restaurant. There's going to be little picky things here and there and I'm sure it was wiped down by the end of the day! Our hostess was also our server and she was so knowledgeable about the menu. I took her suggestions at every turn and did not regret it. We started off with the Bang Bang Brussels Sprouts app and let me tell you - I could've eaten that as my entire meal. They are SO delicious and I'll be dreaming of them until I can return to Rock Hill. Holy cow, they were good - crispy on the outside, loaded with flavor and just enough spice to give the sweetness a little bite. So good. My husband had the country fried steak and he said it was very good. Not the best he's ever had, he said, but good enough. He wished there'd been more steak and less crust, but the flavor was right on. They were out of the salt and pepper flounder, so I changed my order to the ranch chicken. Ummmm....excuse me. Who says not to order chicken breasts at restaurants? The portion size is SO generous and the chicken is SO DELICIOUS that I, the girl who rarely bothers to take leftovers, boxed up what was left and brought it back to my hotel and ate it as a midnight snack. The grilled zucchini served on the side of it was delicious. If I ever get back, I'll ask if I can skip the potatoes in favor of more of that zucchini! We didn't really have room for dessert, but when we heard about the warm banana pudding, we were curious. DO NOT SKIP THIS DESSERT. If you're a banana pudding fan, this will blow your mind. Absolutely incredible! It's both warm and cool at the same time, caramelized bananas and a torched meringue topping were bowl-licking delicious. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

The restaurant is casual yet comfortable while the customer service is just as dynamic as their food. The staff was very welcoming, which heightened the experience. The SW BBQ Chicken Salad (Grilled chicken coated in their homemade BBQ sauce, served on a bed of salad mix with black beans, fried corn, and egg, sprinkled with spicy French fried onions) had fresh, crisp veggies, an excellent combination of flavors, but the star of the show was the BBQ chicken. The sauce on the chicken was irresistibly delicious. I loved the Build Your Own Burger (BYOB) option, which I loved because my burger was cooked to perfection MY WAY. The Egg Salad Sandwich (Fresh, homemade egg salad with your choice of bread) was enjoyable and nostalgic not only because of the fresh ingredients, but also because of the grilled sourdough bread. The egg salad did not have sweet relish, which is how I am used to eating it, but it did not impact the taste.

They were kind enough to help with a special favor, and that level of care meant a lot more than I can say. My daughter also had a turkey sandwich from them, and she said it was the best she's had in a long time fresh, well-made, and really flavorful. Overall, the experience was very good, and I'm grateful for their kindness and quality food. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is just to leave a little room for growth, but I would absolutely return and recommend them.

Stopped in RoCo's on a Tuesday when Brody had soccer training at MM…read more My wife and daughter loved this place and suggested I give it a go. Great beer list and their specials sounded good. Service was on par at the bar. I ordered a Highland Gaelic Ale and I always figure any chicken place can perfect white meat, but the one that can make a plate of dark meat into an enjoyable meal and make me crave for more is a keeper. Well, the squash casserole that my wife recommended was the tasty part of the meal. The garlicky new potatoes tasted reheated and the chicken was under cooked. The price was great but regardless of price I expect a good meal. At a roasting place I expected the chicken to be falling off the bone or at least be cooked to a temperature to breakup the connective tissue and this was the opposite. I ate as much as I could stomach and then I focused on the reheated garlicky potatoes and squash casserole. The squash casserole did rock. Probably try their other location closer to home eventually, but this visit was less than satisfying.

Usually, you get these things and they're either stale or they feel like you're biting into a brick, but these were light. Airy. The seasoning is hitting every corner--it's like they actually care about your taste buds. No grease, just crunch. Then you hit it with the guacamole. It's fresh, I think, it's chunky, and it's got that lime kick that actually makes sense. It's not that neon green paste they try to slide you at the grocery store. When you combine the two, it's a beautiful thing. It's a peaceful transaction. No complaints. No notes. Just pure, unadulterated productivity. If you aren't ordering this, you're just making poor life choices. 10 out of 10.

Bear Walrus in Rock Hill, SC is outstanding! I had lunch there with a girlfriend on 7/17/26, and…read moreeverything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and the customer service was top-notch. What really earned this 5-star review happened after my visit. While reconciling my account on 7/29/26, I noticed a $45 charge for an item I didn't order. I called and spoke with Tiffany, who was incredibly kind and assured me she would speak with the manager, Philip. When I called back the next day, Katie was already expecting my call and immediately connected me with Philip. He had all the details, sincerely apologized, refunded the $45 without hesitation, and even gave me his personal number in case the refund didn't post. That level of honesty, communication, and trust is rare. Thank you, Tiffany, Katie, and Philip, for turning a billing mistake into an example of exceptional customer service. If you're looking for amazing comfort food, friendly people, and a place that truly feels like home, Bear Walrus is it. It's Rock Hill's version of "Cheers." I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the Charlotte area! :::writing

Very busy Friday night. Our reservations for 6:45 pm didn't guarantee seating at that time, 20…read moreminute wait estimated, got lucky and found seats at the bar while getting cocktails. Bartenders were really entertaining and I actually preferred it. We've had dinner there before and opted not to move to a table. Prime rib - Friday night special. AMAZING. 8 oz portion rare was juicy and so flavorful. Crust was peppery and delicious, perfect with savory heat from the horseradish cream. Mac and cheese was super creamy and just the right amount of pepper, made with shells, cheese pull galore. The collards were on point and packed with chunks of pork. The tri tip was sliced thin and stayed juicy but that chimichurri was the showstopper. It was fresh and spicy and totally made the dish! Beans were too smoky for me, hubby said they were good. Potato salad was solid but not sure any potato dish could top that Mac! Sparkling rose was just a teensy bit sweet, very refreshing and divine. Bartender said it's one of the best wines on their list. Hubby had Tito's and cranberry, also excellent. They have a good draft selection too. No oysters for us on this trip, but they did have a list and the raw bar was fully seated and enjoying them. We totally enjoyed oysters last time. Longer table down the middle would make it easy for large parties and they did have several large groups in as well. Overall it was a pretty energetic vibe with a fun but casual ambience. Dress it up if you like, but jeans are also okay. Games were on the three TVs at the bar, or maybe there were 4 TVs. Bartenders were fun to hang out with and provided all the menu recommendations and entertainment we could want.
