    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!

    Avocado Toast

    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!

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Biscuits! Biscuits! And more biscuits! I wish we had a good southern biscuit shop in NYC. Rather it's savory or sweet, this place has your biscuit desires covered. I have been here four times and always left happy. Their biscuits are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Only complaint is that they are slightly dry. Probably just need a bit more butter right? Lol. Though the biscuits are not the best I have had, the overall experience is very good. Though no longer on the menu, you can still order the Biscuit w/ Gravy Flight, which is one of my favorite things here. They're all pretty delicious, but that sausage gravy really enhances the biscuit since it takes away some of that dryness. Of the sandwiches, I love the Fried Bologna Benedict the most. My least favorite is the extra salty Country Ham Biscuit. The Mimosa Fried Chicken Sandwich is not bad either, but order it without that sweet sauce on top. And if you like simple, just get a biscuit with some sausage and eggs. Don't forget, they have a whole jams and spreads station. Make sure to take advantage of that for a sweet finish. I personally enjoy the Peach Rosemary, Strawberry, and Sweet Potato Chai. Btw, extremely sweet and kind service. I had a cappuccino that was a bit too light. I offered to pay for an extra espresso shot. Instead of charging me, the server sent me back with a brand new cup of cappuccino with the extra shot. Then she stopped by to ask if it was made properly three minutes later. Every time I have been to Greenville, I have made a pitstop here. This factory of biscuits may not be the best around, but I just appreciate the atmosphere and friendly service. By no means am I saying their biscuits are not good because I would be extremely ecstatic if we had something similar in NYC.

North St. based on the 4.5 Yelp rating. What's going on here? Are these reviews being artificially boosted?

The chicken was a had an odd mushy/spongy texture -- a couple of tenders unceremoniously dropped on the plate and nothing like in any of the marketing photos -- and the gravy was not very flavorful at all. Someone else in my party got the chicken and waffles -- their chicken was better than mine, but still completely unimpressive. I also have to say, unfortunately, that the staff is not on their game. We had communication problems with the person taking our order, and the self-bussing area was overflowing with dirty forks and plates. This is a corporate slop establishment, and Greenville has at least a dozen breakfast spots, especially locally-owned ones, that are miles better than this. I regret not looking a bit harder for a better local spot.
