    I made a reservation for brunch earlier this week. We arrived on time but were not seated until 20 minutes later. After being seated, we waited an additional 15 minutes without being greeted by a server, so we decided to leave.

    The folks at Soby’s made our 30th anniversary celebration just perfect. All was perfect. We have not lived in Greenville for a long time but we did when we were first married. We frequented Soby’s the moment it opened. Glad to have the opportunity to relive great memories over a great meal. Thank you to the entire staff for just being great at what you do. Much appreciated. Well done Carl and team.

    Food was great. Ambiance was great. Our server, Chuck was very rude and seemed to hate his job, us, or both.

    10/10. First time here for me and my wife had been here years ago pre-covid. Our wonderful waiter "Soup" or David who has been there since they opened, was fantastic. I had heard thru the grapevine that the shrimp and grits, crab cakes, and fried green tomatoes were essential. So we started with the tomatoes and i ordered the 1/2&1/2 feature. What a great way to split up the best items on the menu. My wife ordered the braised beef short rib. All we can say is wow. That was my first time having shrimp and grits because I just dont like grits. I enjoyed every single bite. The crab cake pairs so well with the sweet corn maque choux. The best crab cake I've ever ate. I cant let my mother in law know. Shes big on the crab cakes from Baltimore but I think if she trys it, she will agree its the best. The truffle mac and cheese was good but just wasnt a fan of the ham so next time we will go with the cheddar Mac and cheese. My wife loved her entree and the collard were delicious. Soup was hilarious and just overall a great waiter. Greg the bartender is fantastic and knows how to make a superior drink!
