Philly steak sub
Sweet T.

The food is delicious. My favorite is the Philly steak sandwich and chicken wings with ranch! Ive also tried the grilled chicken club and burgers. Everything is delicious and great portions. i recommend for a delicious bite!

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.

Fried mushrooms
Moyanda K.

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!!

Burger

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.

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

Quint and quiet little place that is hidden away off the main drag. Awesome cocktails, and you…read morecan't just have one :-) Darken and cozy place with comfy chairs and booths. Good friendly service table side and at the bar area.

Vault and Vator was our last stop of the night, and finding it was a little confusing which is part…read moreof the fun of a true speakeasy. It is found tucked behind the building with only a small, letter-sized paper sign marking the entrance. No flashy signage, no obvious storefront, which adds to the appeal if you're into that kind of hunt. Walking up to it late at night can be a little intimidating but it is well lit which I greatly appreciated! Once inside, the space is dimly lit and small, which makes for a genuinely intimate setting. I'd say it's good for a quieter, more conversational vibe rather than a loud night out. We went with the bartender's choice: pick a base liquor, then two words to describe what you're after. I went with vodka and "slightly sweet, refreshing," for $18. The bartender nailed the brief but it wasn't a drink I'd think about again or specifically order by name. Solid execution, forgettable flavor. Service was the real standout. Our bartender was excellent at walking us through the concept and translating vague requests into something that actually worked. That, plus the atmosphere, is enough to bring me back to see what else is on the menu since we made it there just in time for last call so I ended up only having one drink.

The second and most time spent stop on my visit to the downtown area. Music was going (Not live)…read moreand decent drink selections. I liked most that front end which obviously gets most of the attention is supported by the back end - yeah, a small bar counter toward the back where it's a bit quieter and you can more quickly get a drink. The two bartenders working back there were real cool and the area in the back keeps up with the sorta loungey atmosphere. Being more loungey than divey the crowd fit the bill, less regulars and more of a younger crowd and more newish pop music which was alright. Besides the bartenders being cool, the other staff were on point so as a group would leave/move away from a table the staff would quickly come in to clean it up and straighten up the chairs, so those details were nice to see and keeps the overall setting appealing. If you hanging with 2 or more people, and like a young crowd, I'd say this is the spot.

This place is the BOMB! The atmosphere is lively, yet casually laid back. Perfect for that casual…read moredrink with a friend or relaxing place after a long day. But even better is the service. Dennis & Logan are two of the dopest bartenders out there who also know how to make a killer drink. I love coming here for Dennis' expert take on an old fashioned, which he has spent a lot of time and effort refining. And I don't kid when I say that this is Greenville's best old fashioned. The attitude behind the bar is very laidback, which will likely offput people expecting a pretentious, posh atmosphere. But if you want a drink made by people who care about what goes in your glass, trust me, pay Rey's a visit.
