Reviews summary
Nestled in Greer, SC, this restaurant promises a tantalizing dining experience, but challenges in service have dampened visits. Diners rave about the exquisite food, from lobster mac and cheese to Cajun seafood pasta, often describing meals as heavenly. However, frequent reports of slow service and understaffing detract from the overall experience, with some guests leaving before ordering. While certain items like lobster rolls and cheese boards received criticism for quality, happy hour offers a fantastic deal on drinks, and attentive servers can turn a slow night around. Overall, the culinary delights shine through, making it worth a visit despite hiccups in service.

Definitely my go-to for amazing food and the best atmosphere. Everyone there is fantastic, from the kitchen to the bar to the dining room! They definitely make you feel like family and their A1 customer service is consistent! I will continue to brag about this place every chance I get. View all feedback.
What Holly Hatch dislikes about Crate:
The woman then walked over to the bar, just a few feet away, and I could hear her chatting with another employee (or possibly the owner), completely ignoring us. Our waitress finally came by and apologized multiple times while the two women at the bar watched her struggle. Eventually, we decided to leave the restaurant right in front of them, and they didn’t seem to care at all. As we were leaving, our waitress actua... View all feedback.

I wasn't actually planning to eat here but my wife pulled me inside, excited, because she has been wanting to try the place out, but hasn't been able to. I have to say my wife made an EXCELLENT call on this one.When I tell you that every was good, EVERYTHING was good. My wife doesn't even like chicken and practically destroyed one of my fried chicken sliders. Top notch cooking that feeds the body and the soul. Everything is cooked to order, so keep that in mind while waiting. You won't regret it.We took cheesecake home and it was still amazing even after sitting out for an hour or so. There's a nice wine selection and a great cocktail menu. I'm not too big on cocktails but will sip my wife's from time to time. I liked both cocktails and ended up ordering one for myself.I truly enjoyed the experience. Looking forward to coming back. Don't sleep on this restuarant y'all.Dine in experience was during a slow crowd.
We recently discovered a hidden gem in Greer, SC, and it turned out to be one of the best meals we've had in the area. Both dishes we tried were fantastic—lobster mac and cheese and Cajun pasta. I highly recommend adding some nice rolls or garlic toast to your meal, as you won't want to waste any of those delicious sauces!
Crate has incredibly friendly staff who offer outstanding service. I highly recommend the beef ribs, paired with yams and delicious collard greens. I will definitely be returning when I'm back in town!
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!

I made a reservation but when I arrived they could not locate it, even though I had the confirmation email. They did not end up seating me. Highly disappointed.
I paid $14 for two “lobster rolls” which consisted of a Hawaiian roll with a tiny piece of lobster smushed between the pieces. Service was extremely slow. Do not recommend.
We came for the dine on trade event and without a reservation were unable to get in. We came back the next week with a reservation. The host remembered us from the week before without any hints- not important, but definitely impressive. They offered a limited menu because of the event, and several options were no longer available (we had a late reservation- understandable). We ordered just about everything still available on the menu and shared as a table. All the food was exceptional. Every employee was above and beyond hospitable. One employee mentioned they were still figuring out the menu and working through all the new-restaurant kinks, and haven 't heavily marketed online yet because they want to make sure all the details are right. If this was sub-par in their eyes, I can 't wait to see what 's to come. We 'll be back, for sure.
Wonderful small place. We definitely be regulars
The cheese board is horrible. There were only cheese crumbles. The cuts of meat on the board were so tough and clearly low quality. We had to open and serve our own wine. Do not recommend at all!

Fabulous food, staff, atmosphere! Always a pleasure having date night here.
The food was delicious. Really enjoyed it. Would recommend and will be going back again soon
The food was outstanding. It appeared they were understaffed, though I'm not sure if that’s a frequent occurrence or just an isolated incident. We weren't in a rush, so it worked out well for us, but I noticed that at least two tables had to wait quite a while before they could place their orders or receive their meals due to the slow service. Nevertheless, the staff did their best with the resources they had.
Fabulous evening with friends. The staff was awesome and the collards are the best ever.
This restaurant could be amazing but they were way under staffed. It took forever to get drinks, and then our appetizer and then our dinner. I think they were trying but oye... it was rough.
