Nice lunch
Joe T.

My little family group and I had what I thought was a stellar lunch today! I liked everything about this place! On the other hand; my daughter didn't like her food very much at all. Usually we are on the same page about what we eat. She said that her lunch had a peculiar taste. I did consume and enjoyed mine. Granted; this is one of those eating places where the veggies taste like they have been laced with sugar.My two grand boys didn't eat much either.They were too busy stuffing their jello to be worried about anything else! I certainly hope that my daughter isn't coming down with something! She excused herself and the boys! In her absence, I tasted her lunch and it was just like mine! Delicious! The price was right on this restaurant! I purchased four meals and got a great deal! In my own defense; I did let my daughter ( Dr.Jess ) pick out our lunch spot today! -Conveniently; let's Daddy off the hook! Again; I devoured my lunch and half of her's! I personally recommend this cafeteria to the public!

Reminiscent of a nursing home on a Sunday afternoon, except the food is better ;) ok but seriously, this place is a Southern blast from the past. You line up cafeteria style, quickly pick what you want (quickly, or you will get glares), pay at the counter, and sit down with your food. The place is always jamming, because the food really is very good - especially the hamburger steak! Kids eat free every day of the week (2 kids per adult meal) which is a pretty great deal, since the meat and 2 is only about $8 anyway. For what is was, I enjoyed it and will probably be back :D

Baked spaghetti, squash casserole, sweet potato casserole, deviled eggs, jalapeño corn bread, apple dumpling

Staff very friendly. Food selection extensive. I use to love eating here but my mom found a dark brown/black piece of hair (maybe from a mustache/beard) that was baked on top of her apple dumpling. Her smothered pork chop had a lot of grizzle and too much breading. My spaghetti was delicious but it tasted more like the Spanish rice my mom cooked growing up. Exactly like it. Then when I got it home I found what I think was a small bone chip, probably from the meat sauce. The jalapeño cornbread is greasy. Overall, I have enjoyed eating here but not sure I'll go back after this. I will say you get a lot of food for the money. This right here was about $12. Also, I got Turkey and dressing to go which comes with cornbread dressing. The gravy or cornbread dsg, not sure which one, was so salty I couldn't even enjoy it. The cornbread dressing was like mush and was kind of watery. When I say too much salt and mushy, I mean it. It wasn't enjoyable at all. I didn't even eat the Turkey as it smelled funny and I figured it was salty, too. Kind of disappointed in this experience as I have always loved going here. I know the options may haven't been right and I could always get something else next time however the hair baked in was clear enough that my senior mother who doesn't wear prescription glasses could even see it. No excuses for hair. Please consider wearing hair nets and gloves and keeping facial trimmed short. Yuck. Hair trimmed.

Its great knowing cafeteria style restaurants are still around. I had to have a mashed potatoes and gravy fix so while driving , i saw an exit sign with this places name and i knew if anyone had gravy it would be them. Strolling thru the line you grab your tray and silverware and pick your fare one by one. You pay after consuming your meal. Its straight forward, nothing fancy and the waitresses who keep your drinks filled are super friendly and on top of it. The food is pretty good. I've experienced tastier cafeteria foods but its not bad and when i need gravy without the flare again, I will return here.

Sides

I went with my mother to dine at S & S New Year's Eve day. We went around lunch time, it wasn't crowded and the line was short. A variety of different sides, entrees and desserts to choose from. I had chicken tenders, mac and cheese, squash casserole and a green beans and an apple dumpling for dessert. My mother had fried flounder with tarter sauce, friend squash, black eyed peas and for her dessert sweet potato pie. My chicken tenders were tough even though they look delicious in the pictures. The rest of my food was good, except the apple dumplings. It was half an apple with a peeling on it that I felt shouldn't have been on it. Looking for cafeteria style food, this is the place to try.

Grilled Chopped Sirloin Steak with all my favorite sides. Yum!

Food is still delicious! Prices are fair! Friendly staff, comfortable dining area. Try the country streak and red velvet cake! Thanks!

So glad I found this place while in Greenville this is one not to be missed. Amazing staff and the line went very fast. Food was fresh and I am still having dreams of that amazing meal.

Come with me... back to 1975! If you can remember Morrison's or Piccadilly Cafeteria, the S & S will take you back! The first S&S Cafeteria opened in Columbus, Georgia, in 1936. S&S has all the classic cafeteria favorites, salads, extreme desserts, classic entrees... the Southern style vegetables will make a po' boy slap his daddy! So to speak. Many of the items are things you won't normally find in today's restaurant industry. The food quality is pretty good, the service is grandmother style friendly. In fact, you may see lots of grandmothers... and grandfathers... this is a big spot for seniors. You hear some interesting conversations from this crowd! Reminds me of visiting my family, back in the day. You'll also see entire families dining together at the S&S, kids, parents, grandparents. It's that kind of place. This is truly a cool spot, should not be missed!

Fried Chicken (dark), mac and cheese, and rice & gravy
Jasmine H.

My family and I decided to eat here because no other place was open and Covid-19 has shook the world so we got it to go. We've been coming here for years since I was little girl and now I'm 23 years old. Over the years they've changed, and not in a good way. The food doesn't have that same fresh taste it used to have. The service is still amazing everyone who works there is nice. I got the fried chicken dark, with rice and gravy, and mac cheese. The chicken was ok, I've had better. The rice wasn't cooked all the way. And, the mac and cheese had no taste to me. Plus, it made me sick. So i won't be back. My mom said her chicken tasted like old grease, my sister said her food was ok. The pictures below is what I didn't finish eating

I have not been here since about 1980 and today we decided to go for lunch to the S & S Cafeteria. That is what happens when no-one in our group of five has a solid preference. We intended to have our business meeting here, thinking it would be quite on a Tuesday. The place was jam-packed. It also has not changed in thirty years, they were even playing the Brothers Johnson song, STOMP! from 1980...yes...followed by the one hit wonder "You Know I Can't Dance" also from the late seventies. It even smells the same. Everything is the same. The average age of the diners here is "retired." I had to take a picture because the first sight I had of the food was a dessert dish of cut up squares of electric blue jello. It was bizarre. One reviewer said, "the S & S will take you back!" No kidding. I should have stuck with what cafeteria's do the best, Salisbury steak or meatloaf, but I fell for the "NEW" sign beside the fried oysters. Big mistake there. Salad was good, but a giant dollop of ranch dressing was more than enough, they put it on for you. Green beans from a can...get the picture. I know its a cafeteria but c'mon man. Service was very good, the wait staff was helpful in finding a booth where we could pull up an extra chair. Other entree's chosen by my party were BBQ Chicken, slathered in a jarred BBQ sauce, crab cakes, salmon and Salisbury steak. Everyone said the food was "meh" as in not bad but not bringing me back here either. I would come again sometime with my 86 year old Dad because it would be nostalgic, but otherwise, no thanks.

Food and service is always awesome! We ordered the traditional club and the spicy feta appetizer…read moreand chicken gyro....great as always!!!

I've been a few times and as a Greek, enjoy this restaurant…read more The restaurant is clean, and the decor is authentic. I think the menu offers quite a bit and overall the food it tasty. The one thing I would offer as constructive criticism is really watch the amount of dry oregano you add after the fact. Most of what we received had more than a dusting, which isn't pleasant with dried herbs. (Note, I love oregano and cook with it all the time. This was just excessive). The other thing I would note is there isn't that spirit of hospitality when you are there, which is what the Greeks are known for. Service was I'd say a bit below average- for example, we ordered a bunch of appetizers, and were done with quite a bit of it. When our food came out the waitress tried to deliver all the food on an already crowded table. We had to ask her to remove the dirty, empty plates first. We also had people run out of water, and she never came back to refill. The other thing was it was clearly a celebratory dinner. It would have been nice to at least ask what was going on. Not looking for anything, but typically a server would at least chat you up. All that said, we will be back and recommend this place to others. Would just recommend tasting the food before it does out to make sure its not caked with dried oregano, and bring a little more of that Greek spirit to the business.

Super fun vibe, great place to stop for a drink and food after strolling downtown all day!…read moreOur waitress was friendly, and as attentive as one can be on a Saturday night! The food was phenomenal though! We ended up getting the 3 for $10 fries, which was quite the steal!

I also got the sliders which were all delicious, any my husband also really enjoyed his burger which I believe was the Beer Essentials burger. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be coming back to try some other things in the menu!

Smelt like a bleach block. I was going to pay by scan on receipt but server insisted she did it on her machine. Minimum tip is 20% so I can see why . She asked twice if we were paying by cash but I didn't see a differential on the receipt . Usually it's lower if paying by cash! It was ok.

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 .

We sat outside, which was clean, comfortable, and a great spot to hang out before an event. Service was fantastic. David, our server, was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, and really helped elevate the experience. For food, we started with the wings (dry rub and Jamaican jerk). The flavors were decent, but the wings themselves were rubbery and a bit underwhelming, especially considering the price point. One standout though... the ranch dressing. Easily some of the best I've had. The breakfast tacos were good overall, and the chimichurri was fresh and flavorful. I think adding a creamy component would have taken them up another level. The sweet potato fries were fantastic. The chicken and biscuit was decent. The Nashville-style chicken had good flavor, but the tenders were on the smaller side, making the portion feel a bit lacking. The biscuit itself was solid. The tallow fries were also well done, and the Lefty's sauce was a nice addition. One unique touch at the end. You're given the option to send a postcard, and they handle the postage and mailing for you. A really fun and memorable detail. Overall, a good spot with great service and atmosphere, though some of the food execution and portion sizes could be improved.
