What customers say: “Okay, maybe the beer isn’t actually the coldest in town, but there are a bunch to pick from, and it’s delicious with chicken.

What to order: Fried chicken, deviled eggs

What customers say: “The menu boasts Southern dishes like scrumptious fried chicken with delicious cornbread and the side of your choice. I can heartily recommend the [cipollini] onions in cream sauce, not your average Southern side. We shared the fried green tomatoes, the deviled eggs, and the fried oysters. That may have been one dish too many, but we wanted to try them all. The service was very friendly and prompt. I was too full to have dessert, but the others shared a cherry jubilee brownie sundae, which was as good as it sounds. We will return to Greer,” Yelp user Ben B. wrote.

My chicken was perfectly cooked with nicely seasoned, crispy batter, and it was possibly the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten. My sides were also very good. Sweet potato casserole was not too sweet and creamy, and the grits were very good. Sharing the spotlight with the chicken for awesomeness was some perfect coconut cream pie.

Also LOVED the honey butter chicken for a more traditional savory take,” Yelp user Anthony P. wrote.
