    Strawberry shortcake
    Ainslee M.

    Food was amazing and we had the best waitress (Jennetta) ~ all home style cooked food and HIGHLY RECOMMEND ~ friendly staff and reasonably priced!

    Menu with contact info as of 11/25

    I travel frequently and get tired of the same old chains when looking for a place to eat dinner. Green Tomato Buffet is a great change from all of those places. They have a big variety of different mains and sides along with a salad bar and desserts. In the 3 times I've visited the staff has been incredibly friendly and the 2 servers (Jennetta and John) acted as if I was family. One surprise was the mac-n-cheese which was made like I do (not out of a box or or with canned cheese). It was really good! This isn't the Taj Mahal, it is a buffet in a strip mall with great service and a low price. I would choose this any day over Golden Corral or the local Chinese buffet. I've eaten at many of the restaurants in this area and this is consistently my first choice.

    Literally  30 measuring cups of soup $170

    Been a loyal customer for over 10 years. Have experience good food and wonderful respectful service despite the several turnovers with owners. Unfortunately this new owner charged me almost $170 for what should have been 50 servings of soup for a small gathering. Well after been shorted 20 portions the owner was very condescending towards me and stated he did me a favor by taking the order. He went on to accuse me of trying to get free money for my church and called the police. He also threatened to contact my supervisor. Keep in mind after he inconvenienced me. Owner is definitely going to be the cause of what's been a great neighborhood restaurant and catering service down fall. I'm learning that some people are just not cut out for the public and this senseless attitude in a business owner has really surprised me.

    The food was good, clean atmosphere, and plenty of variety and foods to choose from. The waiter was very nice and professional. Pack up the family and experience for yourselves.

    Great service, hot and fresh food. However during busy times they run out of items and don't have proper backup..had to wait 20 minutes for fried chicken, worth the wait? Yes..hot, juicy and delicious. But they were also low or out of other "meats". Great salad bar with numerous choices, same with dessert choices. I love fried green tomatoes, it's actually the only way I eat tomatoes, but disappointed with theirs, very greasy and no sauce provided. This is my 3rd or 4th visit... There will be a 5th. I love that the food is HOT! I don't mind having to blow on it to cool it off. Service...these ladies are always polite, and friendly.

    Collard greens Mac and cheese and fried chicken. And of course fried green tomatoes lol

I love that they constantly have new menu items and features so you can keep coming back again and again for something new. This last time, I ordered some sweet potato pancakes (that must have been a special because I can't find them on the menu now) and they were SO GOOD!!! They had nuts in them and they were not too sweet which was surprising in the best way. My wife got the classic chicken and waffles and loved them and our 3rd wheel got an omelet. He cleaned the plate so we know it was realllll good. We also got the fried okra as an app for the table and we were all big fans. The sauce took them over the top on flavor. We have never had an issue with the service. They've always been communicative and friendly, offering great suggestions on the menu. I love the inside of the restaurant. It fits the vibe of the menu very well. It feels very hometown southern which is perfect because it is my baby's hometown and we will continue going back every time we visit.

We couldn't be more impressed with this establishment. Everyone was extremely friendly, and the owner came by and introduced himself to all the tables and checked in with us. We started off with a crabcake and bang bang shrimp to share and the crabcake was absolutely delicious. Then we had our salads which were a huge portion for a side salad and were also fantastic. . For meals, we did the fried stuffed chicken and it was so amazing along with the mac & cheese brussels sprouts. The marinated beef tips were also delicious. It's such a cute and cozy restaurant inside and out on the patio. A place where you can come for dinner or you can also sit at the bar! we wish we were local so that we could go back again, but it just means we have to book another trip to Greenville!

After eating there, I would consider moving to Greenville just so I could have Soby's fried chicken every week. 8-) Usually fried chicken is fried chicken, but this was something different. The meat was incredibly soft, tender and moist, while the skin had the perfect crunch and came out wonderfully hot. It was served with broccolini and macaroni and cheese. When dinner started, I wasn't that hungry and had already decided I would give my husband half of my chicken. Then I took one bite. And another. There is NO WAY I am giving my husband half of this chicken. He got one bite to try. He agreed it was delicious. He ordered the Braised Beef Short Ribs, which he finished without offering me a bite. I did manage to convince him to share the White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie with me for dessert. It had just the right amount of good, real banana flavor and was generously topped with white chocolate flakes. We like watching chefs work, so we asked for a table upstairs with a view of the kitchen. We got the perfect corner table where we could watch more of that incredible fried chicken being made, along with the other entrees being cooked and plated below. Thank you to the chefs downstairs, the hostess, and our server for making our last night in Greenville a meal and experience we won't forget. My tummy is still thinking about that fried chicken.

    Great restaurant in the Greenville area, excellent for date night or a group gathering!…read more This place is huge on the inside but I'd still recommend reservations. The bar seating also looked plentiful if that's something you're into. All the staff were super nice and attentive. We ordered the Tyger River Salad and Brussels Sprouts and both were outstanding! The toppings for the salad paired perfectly with the vinaigrette and the Brussels were some of the best I've had! The crab cakes and short rib were both solid, but I had higher hopes based on how amazing the first course was. The portions are very generous as well, so we didn't even finish the complimentary cheddar biscuits. They had a fun cocktail list and plenty of wine and beer to choose from as well. Overall, I'd give this place a solid 4 stars and we will be back!
