The Reuben with a half order of fries
Tim N.

You are not here because of the ambiance. It is not a fern bar. It has been here at least since 1977, to my knowledge, and maybe earlier. It is the kind of bar you might think of when you say, "You can't do all day drinking unless you start in the morning." It is safe, it is clean and it does have a killer steak sandwich - the very best in Greenville. And a pretty darned good Reuben. Portions are large, generous even for the $15 price tag (roughly) and fries are abundant in both number and thickness - the kind of "steak fry" you might imagine. Crisp, fluffy and a lot of them. This meal, whichever sandwich choice you make, is a two mealer potential, meaning, you could eat it for two separate and satisfying meals. That includes the Club Sandwich and maybe even the Baby Club Sandwich. But, there are a group of regulars that are eating lunch at the bar. The seating is 4 x 4 tops. 5 X 2 tops, about 15 barstools on a long J-shaped bar. Today's lunch had the 5 regulars at the bar for lunch, 2 random carry-out customers, two separate individuals at the two tops and 2 at a 4 top plus our party of two. A decent crowd, but not crowded. The bartender is the server and she did a good job, but the sass is included in a fun way. We arrived at 12:15P on a Tuesday, got water and order placed by 12:19 and food arrived by 12:34 - yes, Yelpers, I did time it because that is important for a lunch review! As mentioned, the food is the star. Why only four stars - well this is the kind of place that has not changed interior decor since the late 70's, and although it is no longer the smoke filled lounge that it once was, it still bears a strong resemblance to that bygone time and that may be a turn off for the more refined or discerning type (like my wife). But it is what it is setting out to be - a bar bar - not a fern bar.

Grilled Chicken Club

This late night neighborhood bar and hang out has changed over the years. I keep hearing about the food they're serving now so I finally made it back 25 years later. The inside is the same but the food they're serving serve is really good. The steak, club and chicken sandwiches are excellent. I've heard the salads are good too. Worth a visit and a bit of nostalgia for some of us old timers.

Old school tavern, with great food and large portions. I could tell lots of regulars go there by the way they were greeted. It was our first time there and they treated us so kind!!

Chicken Club Sandwich
-Travis S.

I've lived here in Greenville for over 20 years and this was my first time eating here. When you walk in it reminds you of being downstairs in your uncle's basement. Old school decor that was cool and comfortable. They literally give you more than what you pay for. I was told that they're known for their ribeye steak sandwiches. I ordered one and I could barely eat half of it. It was phenomenal!! It is a family run business even though it was extremely busy our came out fast and piping hot. Going forward I will continue to dine here.

Fried mushrooms

Service and ambiance alone has always been A1. I remember when the steak sandwich was the best in town until the last time I went it was bland, dry and surprisingly real light it barley had meat on it. Hopefully they'll improve on this. The fried mushrooms weren't fried at all they had a very doughy taste as if they were microwaved, no flavor at all. Fries was ehh

Menu

If you look up the definition of a dive, you'll find Zorba's listed. This joint is located in a strip mall, but do not let that detour you as the food SLAPS! The inside is a blast from the past.. they have carpet but it aids in the experience, so don't be deterred. I enjoyed the steak sandwich, but I added peppers, mushrooms, and provolone. The sandwich is served on an onion roll (like the yummy ones from Arby's) and honestly it pulls the flavors together in just the right way. If you order the sandwich plate, it is served with fries and a "bowl" of salad. The salad is ginormous and is served with homemade dressing- but I caution you to save room for the main course!! The only flaw about this place is that they charge for every add on- but on the upside you can order singular items because of this! Want a single chicken strip, they got you? They even had a singular fried shrimp listed, this made me giggle! Overall this place is SOLID and the service is fantastic!! Give it a try!!

The steak sub is amazing. A little hole in the wall, gem of a place. I enjoyed eating there on my lunch break.

We hosted a Welcome Dinner at Swanson's Warehouse the night before our wedding. We wanted this type…read moreof event in place of a more formal rehearsal dinner, because we wanted the all of our wedding invitees to get two nights together to eat, drink, and celebrate--Swanson's was a perfect spot! The contact at Swanson's was easy to work with. The event was affordable and casual yet intimate. We picked the caterer. We hosted this event on December 30th so the colorful string lights felt perfectly festive! And the signs of Greenville's past covering the walls were fun for the Greenville natives--it took them back! (Photographer: Julia Madden Sears)

Hipster much? It's pretty cool in here, though. They have a good sound, since it's basically one…read moreroom. There is canned beer of varying prices (starting with some $1 beer, including the classic PBR) up to fancier craft beer ($3, $5, or $7) and you can pay with a card. They don't have food but their very salty popcorn is free. Inside, walls are covered in "vintage" local signs, making for some good conversation pieces. There are a couple booths on the wall, but it's mostly standing room unless you borrow a camping chair. Outside it looks liike to you're walking into a garage, but it does look like they have parking (wish I saw it before paying at the lot around the corner. It's a cute, simple little venue, and the band we saw was fantastic! I'd come back dependIng on the band.
