Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Lazy Goat delights with "excellent food, service, and ambiance," offering a vibrant setting by the Reedy River. Signature dishes like the "fried goat cheese" and "brussels sprouts" are must-tries. Despite occasional service hiccups, most guests enjoy "creative, delicious dishes" and "fantastic wine selections." A Greenville favorite!

    We try to eat low carb and our server was very helpful perusing the menu to accommodate us. Food was delicious and the craft beer was very fresh.

    We were hosting out of town guests. We heard this is the best I've had several times. I know I can count on a great dining experience at the Lazy Goat. I often crave those goat cheese balls! I bet there are two people in Atlanta that will be craving them too! Thank-you!

    We enjoyed the goat cheese appetizer. The rack of lamb was delicious the Delmonico came out cooked perfectly but luke warm. I should have sent it back, however the restaurant was busy so I chose not to.

    Really liked this place and would go back. Food was really good. Our server was inattentive though. He forgot to put in a salad order. So we got our meals but never a salad beforehand as ordered. He apologized but never offered a free desert or drink to make up for his mistake.

    We enjoy weekly Date Nights and The Lazy Goat is one of our top Greenville favorites. The patio dining is most enjoyable for the Reedy River views and people watching. The menu is wide ranging and well priced. However, the real attraction is the manager, Erica Painter, who is the best in Greenville! She manages a great staff and always finds time to visit with guests.
