Crate Restaurant & Wine Bar 213 Trade Street, Greer, SC 29651

"Recently tried Crate for the first time. I hate I'd waited so long... GREAT EXPERIENCE! Food was some of the best I've had... I started with an "old fashion" - it was perfect (I opted for the non-smoked version- but may try that "smoked old fashion next time)- My wife and I split the "strawberry and goat cheese" salad... She ordered the Shrimp and grits, I ordered the cajun pasta, both where great! We have this thing we do, where we always try each others dish to determine "who won"- meaning who's dish was better- both were so good there was on clear winner. I HIGHLY reccomend Crate... go there. Enjoy!"

"First experience was great from the food and service. Second time visiting was for a special event and was disappointing. The manager was working the bar and I could tell was annoyed with my questions on the wine (this was before the event started). The event was scheduled to start at 8 but didn’t start until close to 9. The only food options were fries and sliders. We ordered the chicken sliders and fries which came out immediately and were warm. I noticed a hair on one of the sliders. We sent them back and the second plate came out again, immediately. No biggie because I know things happen but what blew my mind is that we were still charged for the sliders. Mind you, it’s the manager working the bar area where we were seated. I had to ask for water/refill which is usually standard when you order a bottle of wine let alone any beverage. A lady helping out was trying to clean up and take our bottle of wine/glasses when we still had half a bottle. Disappointing because it’s a chill vibe and cute atmosphere. I thought it to be a hidden gem but now I see it’s not popular due to bad service and subpar food."

"Don’t expect to be greeted at the door at Crate Restaurant (more like pub). I guess this is kind of place where you need to choose a table yourself. There was only one waitress working on a Saturday night. And it seemed that she was having kind of a bad day. First, after taking the orders she came back to double check what was ordered. Besides, one of the orders at our table was a mix-up and we had to wait for them to fix it. Also we were waiting almost an hour for our food. And it took about 40 minutes to get a check/pay. In the summary, we had very slow service, average food, hence three star review."

"Omg! As a chef... I'm so critical! The food here was exquisite!!! The shrimp and Cajun grits and the Cajun seafood pasta!!! Father God! It's an organism in your mouth! Best....hands down! And the drinks... O....M.....G....take your mother, your wife, your side chic, whomever....it's damn good!"
