    Vegan tofu dish expertly made on request
    Gwen J.

    Aside from the stellar vibe, food and drinks, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the star of the show- our bartender Bobby. A consummate professional, super engaging, knowledgeable and really just a fun, super nice guy from the moment we first walked in the door yesterday afternoon. So great a time we had with him, we came back later for our unbelievable delicious dinner! We were visiting for a quick getaway from Savannah, and I can promise we'll be looking for him each and every time we come back. He's a tremendous asset to this establishment! Please tell him Gwen and Gary miss him already!

    After a long renovation, Roost is back, one of the most popular restaurants downtown Greenville #yeahthatGreenville It has been beautifully done and the open space is warm and inviting.. Brunch always draws a great crowd and we were right there in the thick of it, this glorious fall weekend. Amanda was our server and quickly got our drinks and made to order eggs going. Today's brunch had a great variety of selections of breakfast and lunch offerings. Stone ground cream grits, bacon, sausage potatoes and French toast. A huge cold bar full of fruits and veggies. Pulled pork, shrimp and grits, Mac and cheese and Brussels for the lunch side. At noon they were filling empty containers and keeping areas full. If you haven't been to Roost since they've reopened, come on out!!

    Alston was truly an outstanding server with an engaging and enthusiastic personality! Very impressed with his service! The truffle fries, mussels and beets salad were exquisite and superb! Excellent dining experience at Christmas Eve!!!! Highly recommend The Roost Restaurant!!! Kudos to Alston and my compliments to your Chef and kitchen staff!!!

    The food we had was all very good !! I really enjoyed the spicy huckleberry margarita. Service was outstanding and I would return back !!

    Trout

    Excellent dishes . We had the wings, mussels, trout , and wedge salad. All very well executed. Next I would do the white wine butter instead of red curry on mussels as it was too hot. Trout portion huge and delicious! Service and ambience great as well. We will be back. Also solid bourbon selection.

    Fig old fashioned and isn't she a peach

    We sat outside on the patio during the Main Street Friday's blues concert. Great service, cocktails, food and overall vibe! Can't wait to come back

    A great dinner for one at the bar

    I walked over from my hotel and it was a great location for a nice dinner for one. The service was friendly. The atmosphere had a cool fun but chill vibe. The good was really good!

    Bread loaf ~ delicious with whipped butter & olive oil.

    Had a wonderful evening at the recently re-opened Roost ! Amanda was our waitress &she was wonderful, the food was surprisingly delicious and reasonably priced! We had mussels and the bread plus a few drinks during Fri night NOMA Oktober Festival! Lotsa fun, great food, great service !

We were seated on the terrace by the door, which was less than desirable but still good. The chair I was in was awfully uncomfortable, but the benches were suitable. For food, we ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, Earl Grey tea bread, chicken tamales, berry French toast, mushroom bruschetta and fried oysters. The Brussels were good and perfectly cooked. The Earl Grey tea bread was good, but too sweet for me (not a sweets person). My friends ordered the chicken tamales and berry French toast, respectively, and enjoyed their meal. For me, the menu didn't have anything that caught my eye, so I made a meal of the small plates. I love mushrooms, but I felt that the mushrooms in the bruschetta needed to be chopped. Their meaty texture and large pieces made it less than desirable, even though the flavor was good. The oysters were well-cooked and served in an ample portion, but with cocktail sauce rather than aioli. When asked, she brought me the paprika aioli that's on the Brussels sprouts. Still, I think a lemon-and-herb aioli or a lemon-and-horseradish aioli would have been more appropriate for a fresh brightness to cut through the breading. It was almost a good meal, but oftentimes the devil is in the details.

Really good food that we enjoyed thoroughly. Very interesting menu-fusion of many cuisines featuring many ingredients that found their way into places one would not expect. With happy results! I had the salmon moussaka. The salmon was delicious-slightly blackened. Great quality salmon. Paired nicely with the lovely tzatziki and accompanied by salad heavy with toasted garbanzos and mucho quinoa, 'cukes, endive-heavy greens and a spot on bright dressing. Sister had black bean burger on dressed bun that was accompanied by perfectly prepared steak fries with house made ketchup that had a slight heat to it. Really good as well. Kitchen staff nailed the preparation and everything came out perfectly. First meal out in Greenville (as we cook). I could not have been more pleased. Great value for the price. Certainly not inexpensive, but not outrageous. I will definitely be "stealing" this moussaka dish and presentation for my wife the minute I return home! Menu is in transition per our wait person, and one interesting dish was not available. And a croquette dish had been substituted the croquettes for a latke-like pancake (I presume)-not a croquette. Extremely friendly to the veg crowd! Seems like a great kitchen and well run restaurant. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere is very inviting... clean lines.... clean restaurant... terrific attentive service. We looked for a restaurant in the Greenville area that offered vegan and non vegan options. So this fit the bill. Richard said the veggie burger was a bit too soft for his liking. I say that in reference to a vegan burger we had in Berlin that was quite meaty in texture. I think using pea protein really makes a difference in texture... it is used more overseas than in the US. I had the zucchini and potato arepa. It was very tasty and quite filling!!!! A little too heavy for me for lunch... very hearty option. Our waitress was right there when we needed her, kept our water glasses filled, which is important to me because I drink a lot of water at meals. Our daughter had the Brussel sprouts, which she said were delicious. Serving sizes are good!!

The secret sauce had a hint of heat which was a perfect addition. We will be back because we saw more that we would like to try, and we like that the food had some interesting and unique flavors. I do have one suggestion though, It would have been nice to be able to look at the menu on line. When you go to the website for kitchen sync and click on menu for the greenville store it shows up with blank white pages.

We had a reservation so we were seated quickly in a big comfortable group - party of four. The server was a bit quirky. A little "too much" if you know what I mean. The wine list was amazing. So many choices. We shared the Brussels sprouts and a shrimp lettuce wrap. The sprouts were fantastic. The lettuce wrap I do not recommend. The shrimp had no flavor. They should do a spicy Asian sauce on them. I got the chopped salad as a starter. Loved the dried cranberries. Dressing was a little light. Also, very hard to eat with a fork. :-) For the main, I got the filet cooked medium rare. I was eyeing a $100 A2 ribeye but I was someone's guest and did not want to overstep. The filet was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Only $49. Guessing it was 8 ounces. It was served in a Worcestershire jus that was excellent. Also came with mushrooms, asparagus and small potatoes. Loved the dish. Highly recommend!

The crab cakes themselves were quite good, but a little more wet than I'm accustomed to. I quite liked the sweet corn maque choux. - Key Lime Pie: Good. More like a tart, it has very mild flavours which I liked. Server was really good. Very friendly, attentive and professional. Overall, a very good meal. I would return if in Greenville again

I love that they constantly have new menu items and features so you can keep coming back again and again for something new.

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.

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 .
