    the interior of a restaurant
    Kia C.

    Written by a Northern-bred girl with southern familial roots... What it is not: Not fancy, not going to help you stick to any type of diet What it is: Reminiscent of home cooked meals of my childhood served up by ladies who remind me of my grandmother, my aunties, and beloved church mothers. Service is delivered with warm smiles that linger almost as long as the southern drawls. You can get a breakfast that fills your belly (and probably your hips, too) for under $10.

    Sweet baby Jesus, I haven't had green beans this good since I was sitting in my Nanny's kitchen. The okra was firm and breaded perfectly, did I mention the green beans? Mac 'n cheese that was deliciously cheesy, the red potatoes were buttery and almost melt in your mouth, and I cannot say enough about the green beans. The baked spaghetti looked really good so that will be for the next trip.

    Fried chicken, potato salad, squash casserole, macaroni and roll. ALL amazing

    Really great home cooking. Can personally recommend macaroni, potato salad, squash casserole, fried chicken, pork chops and fried fish. Different specials on different days but everything is good so can't miss.

    Fried chicken, fried okra, Mac n cheese, cornbread. So good!!

    Food is just fair. Never hot. A slow line even when not crowded. No one is in a hurry. It has a relaxed atmosphere.

    FRIED CHICKEN ALERT! I ended up in Greenville for a night and believe it or not I have never been…read morethere. I was hungry and didn't know what or where to eat, not like there is a lack of options, but did I want ramen or something more local in regional flare? I picked the second one. I ended up at Tupelo Honey because fresh southern fried chicken sounded amazing and this place wasn't going to break the bank. I guess this place is a chain but I didn't know this until I was eating. The staff were beyond friendly and attentive and they answered all of my questions about the food. The restaurant was super clean. I ended up ordering the half bird with original seasoning on it. The seasoning the put on it is a crystallized honey power and something else in it, it gives the chicken a nice sweet flavor but not overpowering. They also have a spicy version for you spice lovers. The half bird came with 4 pieces as one would expect, the crust was crispy and the chicken was awesome. I was eating the dark meat and couldn't get over how juicy it was. The real test as you all know is the breast, is that going to be dry? Nope, it was so moist and flavorful, it was a home run. I guess they brine their chicken for some good amount of time and it shows. My sides though I wish I would have gotten more adventurous, the meal came with two sides so I got a salad and the fried potatoes as a recommendation from the waitress. They were good but the mac n cheese looked better. Overall this place is great and I would go again. It's right downtown and the service was fast and friendly. Great place for some fried chicken .

    It doesn't get better than this when you want some comfort food. I use DoorDash to bring it to my…read morehotel room. I highly recommend the grits and the fried green tomatoes.

An amazing patio overlooking one of the main streets of downtown Greenville, with a cozy interior ambiance as well. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable of the local food, drinks and their amazing wine selection. Soby's just won the Wine Spectator Grand Award (highest possible) and a Michelin recommended restaurant for 2025. And it shows. We didn't get any wine this evening, but the menu is as thick as a long novel. Anything and everything is in this puppy. Wines from all over the world, ranging from a few bucks to over $13,000 a bottle. Take your pick. We opted for some beer and cocktails, all of which were perfect. The food. This southern inspired menu with local ingredients was fantastic. We had a spicy pimento cheese app with crispy pita and pickled okra...delish! The beet and goat cheese salad was one of the best we've had. The pic speaks for itself there. The Soby's fried chicken is something you HAVE to get if you go. The best fried chicken, with the best bacon mac n cheese to complement it. Tender and juicy, crispy and flavorful...these words don't even scratch the surface of how good this dish was. Top notch experience all around. Make it a point to try it out if you haven't yet, or if you're in town for a visit. And definitely get that chicken dish, yo won't regret it.

    Verdict: Come for the ambience and the white chocolate banana cream pie, stay for the gravy, and…read morehope your eggs don't spend too long in the "spotlight." Soby's serves Southern charm before the food even hits the table. (And if your experience is anything like mine, you will be waiting awhile for the food to hit the table.) Weathered wood beams stretch overhead, brick walls hold decades of character, and the warm lighting makes the whole room glow like butter on a hot biscuit. The kitchen hums with the kind of energy that says brunch is serious business. If you sit upstairs at the loft, there are some seats that overlook the kitchen so it's like brunch and a show. The pecan sticky bun is sweet enough to make you reconsider sharing though I wouldn't know because they ran out of it before 11:00a. Service was friendly and quick on the front end, though the kitchen's food expeditors seemed a little short-handed. The result? A slight wait that left some eggs spending a bit too much quality time under the heat lamps. My Shakshuka dish had an egg-istential crisis. Instead of that luscious over-easy river of yolk, the eggs arrived closer to hard-boiled territory--less "runny brunch bliss" and more "deviled egg audition." Thankfully, our waiter expedited another over easy egg to replace the one that came with my dish. The Providence Farm Country Fried Steak was the undeniable headliner--about 1.5 inches thick and fried to golden perfection. Smothered in sausage gravy, it was the kind of dish that makes cardiologists nervously flip through their calendars. The flavor? Steak-ing its claim as one of the better country fried steaks around. The sunny-side egg, however, had clearly spent a little too long basking beneath the warming lights alongside my shakshuka. But, if you come for one thing only, let it be the white chocolate banana cream pie. As I've heard Southern Belles say in gest, "it'll make you wanna slap your mama." In short: rustic atmosphere, an energetic kitchen, and Southern food that doesn't just butter you up--it grits straight to the point.

Coming thru the inside front I quickly thought I made the best choice. The restaurant was crowded and very loud inside. Outside was relaxing, quiet music playing and you could have conversations at your table. Lexi was our server and she was so attentive and Friendly. She made the meal so enjoyable. The Fathers Day Brunch gave you a choice of a 1st course and 2nd course for $36. Wow was that a deal!! The cocktail menu was perfect for Brunch. The quantities of each course were large- we brought home "dinner". Our meals consisted of : COCKTAILS: PEACH RASPBERRY SANGRIA pinot grigio, vodka, citrus, peach, rhum, raspberry, bubbles BLOODY MARY 1st course Breakfast Fruit Tart house made granola, vanilla yogurt, fresh fruit, mint-honey drizzle Local Strawberry Salad Happy Cow smoked feta, bourbon praline pecan, Tyger River greens, aged balsamic Entrees Stella's Shrimp & Grits pimento cheese grits, tomatoes, roasted peppers, fresh basil, crumbled bacon Monte Cristo black forest ham & smoked turkey, gruyere & American cheese, dijon mustard, raspberry pepper jam, Rise Bakery challah Dessert Deep Fried Peach Pie local bourbon-soaked peaches, citrus zest, cinnamon-sugar, caramel, vanilla gelato. Posted pictures below. The breakfast tart was amazing! My guest said the strawberry salad was so fresh and full of the best ingredients (not just greens). Shrimp and grits were perfect and the gravy was low country style. My Monte Crisco was excellent. The bread made local couldn't have been better! Now for a dessert I will dream about : Wow! The outside of the fried peach pie was crisp, sweet and delicious. (Not greasy like some "fried pies".) The local peaches inside taste so sweet (like a southern summer peach should!) it was not too sweet. The gelato was a wonderful enhancement. We were told the chef just put that together for this menu but I certainly hope it stays there all summer. It was THAT good. What a beautiful, delicious relaxing Father's Day Brunch. If you haven't been to Stella's GO! (Nice to not have to go downtown for amazing food!) Ask for Lexi!!
