    Open concept,loads of seating

    Half the women's bathrooms were out of order. Family's coming in with lots of little children and only two women stalls working?? How hard is it to get your plumbing up and running!

    Before leaving lovely downtown Greenville on a beautiful Monday afternoon, I met up with 2 of my friends for lunch at The Commons. It's so cute! There's a parking lot, which is a huge plus. There's huge playground next to it. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I love that it's bright and airy. There are a several options for food. We chose Methodical, which many people had told me about over the last 2 days being in G'ville. One of my friends and I had the avocado toast, and our other friend had the smoked salmon smorrebrod. The avocado toast was super delicious and I was told so was the salmon smorrebrod. The drinks were delicious too. I loved the vibe at The Commons. Cool place to hang out alone or with friends. Nice change of scenery to get some work done. I loved it.

    Bridge over the stream that parallels Swamp Rabbit Trail in Unity Park

    This is a nice place to stop along the Swamp Rabbit trail just past Unity Park if you need a nice cold beer or select from a variety of food vendors. I ordered a couple of craft beers from The Community Tap that were about average. Their soft pretzels were pretty amazing though.Friendly service , but it's all about the beautiful view seated on the deck outside and watching people walking by on the trail.

    The park.

    My family and I went to The Commons with family this past weekend on Saturday. The park is amazing and huge! As you get to the par lot it was a challenge to find a spot for a few minutes but we finally did. We walked in and we saw a lot of places to go and choose the food that you wanted. Awesome choices. Indian foods, spanish food, bbq ect...We sat outside and enjoyed the day! Highly recommend.

    Great variety of food and beverage situated next to a river and park that is a superb utilization of recreation and "common" space. If we lived in this town, we be here all the time.

    Clare's creamery set up
    Alexis T.

    I am SO excited that Clare's Creamery now has a permanent spot in the commons in downtown Greenville! Open from 4pm-9pm seven days a week. I hadn't tried Clare's ice cream before, but everyone kept saying it was their "favorite." So here I am! You can get a junior (one scoop) for $3.50 too, which is super reasonable for the downtown area. There are only about 6 flavors as this is a pop-up location in the evenings, but I tried cookies and cream and Reese's peanut butter cup in vanilla. Both were creamy and had a very smooth texture. The peanut butter one had full peanut butter cups in it and the cookies and cream looked like straight chocolate ice cream because of how many cookie chunks it had. And I am SO here for that!! Staff was super nice and it was the perfect way to cool off during the ridiculous 100 degree heat wave we've been experiencing. Can't wait to go back!

    The Commons Greenville, SC is located at Unity Park. It has a food court, specialty shops and office space. I was treated to lunch for my birthday on my first visit. Food options include Automatic Taco, it use to be a food truck, but has been at the Commons since 2019. Serving fresh tacos, snacks, drinks and some sweets. Their food truck is parked at their spot at the Commons. Food option #2 is Bake Room a bakery serving breads and pastries. Food option #3 GB&D/Golden Brown and Delicious is American cuisine like burgers friend chicken sandwiches, mac and cheese and fries. Drink options include The Community Tap and Methodical Coffee. The Community Tap is a beer and wine store. Methodical Coffee also has a full menu serving food and gourmet freshly roasted coffee. The Commons is a nice place to have breakfast, brunch, lunch, a snack or dinner with free wifi.

    I will say the commons it a great place to bring your out of towners. Across the parking lot they have a nature preserve. My in-laws really enjoyed it. Once you make it across the parking lot you get to strolls from one establishment to another. Ordering beers and snack. It's also along swamp rabbit tail and you get eyes on the river which is also beautiful. It was packed for the holidays and was just a good time.

    OG burger
    Grace E.

    Second time I've been here and both times have been awesome and I always leave saying how good it is and how big the portions are. Let's be real, a good burger is expensive these days... So if I'm paying $16 for a burger I'm looking forward to a decent sized, tender burger. Perfect burger sauce, crunchy Bibb lettuce, and a huge side of fries. Cute industrial interior with lots of open space and seating both inside and out. I like that they have different food/drink vendors so you and whoever you're eating with can get whatever they are in the mood for... I'm pretty sure all the vendors are order at the counter and you get a table # card so they can bring the food out to you. Food came out swiftly and the drinks were great! Overall such a good lunch experience.

    Methodical coffee
    Jacqueline V.

    Loved this place while visiting Greenville! Everything we tried was really good! Great coffee at Methodical, delicious pastries at Bake Room, we had a AM bun, croissant and peach cream pastry. The taco place was delicious as well! My favorite taco was the Korean pork belly! Get it you won't regret it, it was so flavorful and the pork belly was cooked perfectly. The fish taco with mango pico was delicious as well. Love the outdoor seating area, drink selections and the fact that there's a trail you can walk there and a beautiful playground for the kiddos!

    Most of the restaurants were closed even though it was like 6:30. The restaurants that were open and we ordered from were not good.

    In town for an event and went to lunch with a work friend. I had been to a F&P in another location…read moreand remembered liking it enough to recommend to my friend. This place doesn't disappoint. I had forgotten they change the menu 3 times a day based on the fresh ingredients they have on hand. This day they had a brisket sandwich with fries, which I substituted for a delicious garden salad. You really can't go wrong.

    I came here for brunch with some friends after a girls' weekend in Greenville. The service was…read moreprompt and friendly, and the ambiance was clean and well-decorated inside and on the heated, screened-in patio. 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.

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.

    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 .
