Chicora Alley

"This is a Greenville staple. Great staff. Friendly. The live music is a must! We saw Project X big Jazz band. Amazing!!"

"This was a nice little jewel, tucked away at the top of a nearly hidden stairwell. The food was good, and the service was better. The server (maybe Dillon?) was new but did a great job. The atmosphere was fantastic. We may have to go back when they have music to check it out."

"Seriously some of the best food and service you will find around. I’ve been a couple of times after it was recommended to me. I walked in and immediately met with one of the friendliest bartenders I’ve had. Even though she was working on setting up the bar (I literally came in as they were opening the door), she took out time and gave me the low down on everything. I get my order, and I’m blown away by how good everything is! I about melted on my seat after eating their fried jalapeño peppers. My second trip was over the weekend. Again, it was the same story with a different cast. I walked in and immediately greeted a super nice and fantastic host. I got seated, and my server was exceptional. He was super helpful and made some great recommendations. I order and get my food, and I’m once again blown away by the flavor. Whoever is in that kitchen cooking gets five stars too! If you want delicious food with excellent service (at a stellar price, too), you’ve found the spot!"

"Lawd have mercy - Chicora Alley did not disappoint! This very unassuming restaurant has a skilled staff of cooks that you shouldn’t miss out on. We started with the pimento cheese which was delightfully spicy and served with chips that can be ignored because you’re gonna want to get to the warm pita bread beneath the chips. Next up was the crab cake appetizer. They were medium sized and served over a cream sauce and hit the spot. Guys the entree you don’t want to miss is the jerk plate. We went with the grouper and never looked back. This was jerk grouper served over a bed of rice and black beans with fried plantains and mango to help temper the spice. We would recommend taking a Kleenex for the spice but it was perfect and exactly what you expect when ordering jerk. Next up is a huge call out for Emily our server - she managed our table perfectly and was working all of the tables and was also our hostess. She was very pleasant, promptly delivered all of our food and overall had a huge positive impact on our experience. And lastly - because at the time of this post I’m in a boot, post foot surgery - there is a large flight of stairs to reach the entrance; however, they do have a nice ramp available should you need assistance. Giving them 5 stars for the food and service and highly recommend!"

"Pleasantly surprised to find this in downtown Greenville. It’s upstairs so be prepared to take a good flight of steps to get to the restaurant. Greeted quickly and seated quickly as well. The views to downtown Greenville were amazing! They do have a sit down bar area and several places for regular seating. Our waitress was helpful and definitely checked on us to make sure everything was good. The nachos were so good and even split between 2 people was more then enough, I’m sure 3 good eat these. I liked how there was an option for half nachos or the full plate which is what we got. They had a couple vegan options so my daughter got the burger, they accidentally brought us a regular burger but thankfully we got the error and they quickly got us the right one and took it off our bill. Definitely hoping to make it by here again, great dinner!"
