Unbelievably Good

Posted By Mike Walsh from Greenville

My wife introduced me to this place about a year ago, and it is terrific. They serve comfort food without "dumbing" it down and offer nicer dishes without being ostentatious. Whether I've had a salad, a sandwich or one of their other generous entrees, I've always been amazed at how tasty and fresh everything is. The wait staff is friendly and very knowledgeable--they actually take pride in their restaurant and it shows! The pricing is very reasonable. I highly recommend Adam's Bistro. Regrets? Just one . . . I wish I worked a little closer so I could enjoy lunch there a bit more often!

Best-Buy!

Posted By Food Critic from Greer

There is not much here to say. Great pricing, great food, AWESOME SERVICE! I wish I could live there! The wait-staff is the best of any restaurant I have been to! This is Greenville's best kept secret!

Noisy, but great food and prices...

Posted By onthemove from Simpsonville

You know there is something special about this place, because no matter when you go, it's crowded. Unfortunately, that also means it is noisy. However...the food is outstanding, the service is decent, and the prices are low.

Nothin' can be finer...

Posted By ex-chef from seneca

As an ex-chef, restaurant manager, Adams hits a home-run. Where else can one get a meat and three, stir fry, scrumptious salads and sandwiches? I've been told I am a real pain to go out to eat with because of my foodie background. I have no complaints about Adams. I wish they were bigger! I am amazed at how they serve high quality foods at such a reasonable price. I am excited for Greenville that they have such a superb place to dine! Wonderful food, wonderful staff, wonderful attention to detail.

Art, Company and Great food/Service

Posted By Workhorse from Terre Haute

I don't live in Greenville anymore, but I miss going to Adams Bistro a few times a week. I love the red peeper and gouda soup on Thursdays! The smiling, generous, and helpful staff reminds me why I love a small business, nothing is asking too much. They always greets me with a smile and can predict what I will say next. You would think that would be enough, but when I have my food delivered, they are interested in my comings and goings and ask after my nephew by name. If you want to feel like you are in an everyday oasis, this is the spot! Thank you for your hard work!

Best value in Greenville

Posted By Howie from Greenville

We have take-out at least once a week. Call ahead, never disappointed. These are truly great folks who have the formula down.

Not to be redundant...

Posted By Epicure from Easley

Their hummus is incredible! After reading all of the praise here, I had to check it out. I proceeded to eat all of it- minus one bite that I exchanged for a taste of my friend's chicken salad. It was wonderful, too! We got our meal to go as the place was overflowing- literally. People were eating outside even though it was only 58 degrees and rainy. I will definitely be back- and soon!

Great Place!

Posted By Allison from Greenville

I recently ate at Adam's Bistro and loved it. We went for lunch and I had the pesto chicken pita and it was wonderful and full of flavor. Service was outstanding! I live in the neighborhood and will definitely be back!

Great food at great prices

Posted By Candy from Greenville

Very good food at reasonable prices. The hummus is the best I have had in Greenville! I have eaten here three times and have never been disappointed. Servers are considerate and make sure you are enjoying your meal. Beautiful artwork graces the walls for your viewing pleasure -- you can even purchase them. The location is a bit deceiving because it is in a strip mall. Go early or late for lunch because it is very busy.

Fantastic food and a great value!

Posted By Sophie from Simpsonville

I love this place! I had a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich that was to-die-for and the best hummus in town. The prices are also amazing so it's a great place for a nice dinner or lunch.

A Real Bistro

Posted By BeerSnobbie from Greenville

This place is really good; I had the Chicken Pesto Pita. A couple of buddies got the Red 'n Blue Burger which they thoroughly enjoyed. I'm excited to try it again - it had a ton of different choices!

Delicious Cuisine

Posted By Linda from Greer

Walking into Adams Bistro, you may think that you took a wrong turn and entered an art gallery. Don't turn around, you are in the right place! Sit down and drink in the atmosphere and enjoy what may be one of the finest meals you have had in long time. It is a hard decision, making a choice. I am hooked on the blackened chicken pasta and my husband usually enjoys one of the fish choices of the day. The chicken piccata is divine and the salads are out of this world. Treat yourself. If you haven't tried Adams Bistro, you are missing out on something great!
