We had a large group come in to eat tonight (30+) and the servers were great! Usually in groups this large, you're lucky to get your first drink- let alone a refill. But our drinks were refilled constantly and the food came out quickly. Very accommodating for our large party.

Whyyyyy is consistency so hard here? Sometimes I love it, sometimes I want to rage and demand my money back.
We our huge fans of the Pimento Cheese dip app. We loved when they made the homemade chips for it and were so sad to see them replaced with tortillas a little while ago. But we keep on coming back for more punches to the gut. We order it inside with some drinks or for take out 3-4 times a month. Today set me over the edge of not wanting to come back. Not only was it cold like a cheese ball it was enough for one adult. Hardly and appetizer for even two. Usually the paper cup is over half filled today it was less than an inch and I just HAD to measure it out. 1/2 cup?

Not to mention, today our chicken is yellowish- green? Or the inside of the breading is and it tastes like it was fried with fish? What is this nonsense?

Came for a dinner with co-workers when in town for business. They chose the restaurant but had I checked reviews beforehand and known they had not been before for dinner would have suggested elsewhere. But it had already taken a long time to decide on this location and we were all hungry.

The one good thing was our group was seated immediately. After that it went downhill.

After waiting longer than expected to get drink orders. The server did take our dinner orders when he returned. Unfortunately it appears that he did not listen very well as out of the 6 of us only 1 order was correct the first time.

I decided on the Palmetto Smothered Chicken grilled breast topped with BBQ sauce, ham, sliced bacon and Monterey jack and cheddar cheeses with Cheese Grits for my Side and Caesar Salad.

The salad was typical Caesar Salad nothing special but nothing wrong either.

When my entree arrived however it came with Fries instead of the grits. I was not alone in this error, in fact everyone except one of the w people that ordered a side of fries got fries instead of their requested side. The taste of the entree was really good. Others in our group were not so lucky. One co-worker ordered the Filet Medallions medium. When they arrived were so well done she said it was inedible (manager - I think - later offered to redo or bring her something else, but by then she was just ready to be done and leave). Her side item was also wrong. Another co-worker ordered the buffalo wings with the sauce on the side with fries. She did not get fries initially and had to ask for the buffalo sauce 2 or 3 times before she got it. A co-worker that ordered a cheeseburger and fries is the only one that her order was completely correct and satisfied.

At least a couple of us had planned on dessert but decided we would rather just head back to the hotel and get something there.

I would not recommend and certainly won't be back the next time in the area. Too many options for a second chance.j

Besides the owner being a complete racist bigot, this place has disgusting overpriced food.

This place has been a place where I have spent most of my Greenvile nights. Watching football college, nfl even some high school. I've watched my dodgers win and lose here. And seen my Lakers lose a lot. This place is a great place for a drink. Many great choices for beer. And also great food here. I'm very fond of the grilled chicken and broccoli. There are many choices. From wings to great bbq to sandwiches. And yes great plates of pasta and steaks also. This place has it all for whatever appetite you have. But if you are only coming to drink. Well then you chose a great place. From lagers to porters to stouts. And a full bar.

OMG!  We went to eat lunch and there was a vile posting about an African AMERICAN politician running for office. From the owner of this business??  No way will we spend our money here!

We stopped here on the way home from a soccer tournament. My sons wanted to stop and watch the Panthers game. The restaurant markets the fact that they have a bunch of tvs so thought it would be perfect. When we entered they informed us that they don't show NFL games "per the owner's request". What the what???????????

I don't know if this is some weird, misguided political thing, or if he is just clueless, but his restaurant was EMPTY during what could have been a busy lunch time. We went next door and had to wait because so many people were there.  Good luck running a restaurant that doesn't cater to the requests of customers.

Living in the Greenville area for 8 years and this was by far the WORST restaurant we have ever ate in. Oh wait, we never received about dinners because we WALKED OUT! We were there for 70 minutes and only received our spinach artichoke dip which took about 30 minutes to get. The dip was late(and cold and chips stale) and our main course(a sandwich and wrap) never came because they were both given, by mistake, to other customers. The waitress who said she was there 6 days looked like she was there 6 minutes. Could add more but this says plenty. STAY AWAY!

Just drove 7 hours to surprise my aunt for her birthday. So looking forward to eating because we knew we would be having a large meal so we saved our appetite. When we got here we were given a paper menu with 6 choices. And the prices were not listed. We asked for a real menu and they refused to let us see one. Really disappointed they didn't have vegetarian options either. Only reason we compromised is to make my aunt happy. Service is awful all around too

  These were our only choices for our large party menu. Very disappointing and misleading. Looking like it's already paid for and no prices.

Awful food and service. Food overcooked. Very strange place. Go to Carolina AleHouse instead.

Kids eat free-and I have five kids. However, we will NEVER eat here given the owner is a racist and a jerk. Keep driving and head to one of Greenville's restaurants that serve ALL its patrons with respect.

12/29/2018

Not worth the price. Got a drink in a glass with lipstick still on it. All around bad service.

10/5/2018

Have you taken down the sign attacking Brandon Brown? It's racist and is not reflective of the Greenville I love. As soon as you take it down I'll upgrade your stars to a 3. 3 is all you get because the food is quite bad.

Owner is a rude human being (if you want to call him that). If you have class, any intelligence, and uphold TRUE American values don't eat here.

This was a restaurant that a friend recommended; I was disappointed in the recommendation, honestly.

Aesthetically it's a decent restaurant. Atmosphere was okay too; nothing really caught my eye or was, at the least, worth remembering. The booth I sat at was clean, though.

Drinks and appetizers came out promptly, had the mozzarella sticks (which were probably the highlight of the night)... after that things steadily went downhill.  

Must've been a shift change, as well as a busy night, when we entered. Had a different waitress come through and take our orders for entrees, after that she and all the waiting staff weren't seen for A WHILE.

Took at the least an hour and a half to get our food (4 orders) which were mainly burgers. After waiting too long I decided to ask for the check (to pay for the appetizers and drinks) so my friends and I could leave. Upon my asking, another waitress informs me that our food had BEEN sitting in the window and was puzzled as to why we hadn't gotten it.

So we decided to stay, which was a mistake. Food was cold. My veggie burger was charred, probably the worst one I've ever had, and others were missing items (an egg on one friend's burger). The fries were banging, though, took those home and gobbled them UP.

After some of us ate, we left; I was initially charged for the burger but later after checking my bank statement seems they decided not too, which was nice.

All in all, even though an appetizer and my side dish were about the only redeeming qualities of the night, I'd visit again to try something different and see if we just caught them on an off night.

Ah man, one thing that got me heated more than anything, though, was when I asked for Mayo and I got Miracle Whip. Dawg MIRACLE WHIP is NOT mayonnaise, I'm pretty particular about that.

Disclaimer: This is a review of PAH as a restaurant, not as a bar. I've been once at night but it was almost empty and

I've eaten here several times and it has always been mediocre. As a vegetarian, I get the veggie burger with extra toppings and onion rings or a salad. I've had food at the location, sat at the bar, and gotten orders to-go. DON'T get orders to-go - they're horrible (always mess up something about the order and always, no matter how immediately I show up, slow). The staff has always been dismissive to lowkey rude on the phone and at the bar. I've never experienced the waitstaff so I'm not commenting on them.

Pros: Open til 2am and on Sundays (but call in advance to see if the kitchen is actually open or not), good honey mustard
Cons: Dry veggie burger, bland onion rings, squishy sweet potato fries, rude service, always mess up to-go orders, not enough food for the price

There are so many other amazing places to eat at this exit (for vegetarians: Taziki's greek, Moe's, Tropical Smoothie Café, for starters) and one down (I recommend Carolina Ale House if you're looking for a good veggie burger/open til 2am) that I wouldn't spend your money here. If it was $6 it would be worth it, but at $9 before alcohol it's simply overpriced. Great burgers for meat eates can be found at Bacon Brothers and another great one at this exit is Shuckin' Shack.

Not worth what you spend there, good is subpar and the environment is terrible. If you are looking for a good restaurant, look elsewhere.

11/9/2018

The owner of this place should focus on the problems in his restaurant. It seems he's too distracted with politics to make sure the place is clean, the food is edible, or his customers are acknowledged by his staff.

Do not order the Low Country Boil.  It is a waste of money.   No flavor and the potatoes are raw.  I understand that someone may enjoy that, so my 2 stars contribute to the fact that noone cared enough about it to try and fix it. Was basically agreed with as far as the Low Country Boil not being their specialty.   Told to try a sandwich next time.

I love a restaurant with a good bar and great staff. This had both. Granted I didn't get much to eat but a wedge salad. I ended up meeting some locals who loved the place. And played some bingo at the bar. They have it every Thursday.
