Came in on a Thursday night(2-24) around 6 and was able to get a table right away. They had 2 young ladies working the floor. Our waitress was friendly and nice. She was on point. Everything we got was very good. The shrimp and grits were the best I've had all year. Their banana pudding was so good I've never had pudding like that before. The texture was different in a good way. I didn't know what to expect when I got there because there was only one other couple eating when I walked in. I would say it's definitely worth checking out if you want some good food with good service.

On yesterday, the owners graciously opened up their establishment early for me to have a small birthday party for my cousin. When I tell you everything was SUPERB! From the food via the chef/owner (Willam Cooper), the drinks via the bartender(s), customer service, etc. EVERYTHING was TOP TIER. Lauren, our waitress, was AWESOME! Please stop by and visit them. You will not be disappointed!

This place is top notch. The meal was well prepared and perfectly seasoned. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere, well if I would have had me a cigar and a glass of bourbon, I could have sat there all night and just listened to the music. The owner even took a minute to come to our table. He was very personable and professional. We will definitely visit this establishment again.

My first visit was ok. I went on Thursday night, and there was only one waitress available. I had a coffee and banana pudding. The coffee was one of the best coffees I've had in a long time, and I usually have starbucks.My second visit was best. I went this past Friday for dinner with my husband. The atmosphere was romantic. I loved the entryway lights and patio area with the nice tree. The decor inside is warm and inviting. The service was great.Our waitress on this night was very friendly and willing to assist. We ordered the specials shown in the pictures. My chicken was delicious. I didn't take any of it home. Cleaned the plate 😂 My husband enjoyed his pork chops as well. Great tasting white wine. Very good-sized portions of food and the price was acceptable. I can see myself coming back again and again.

My wife and I dine here 4-6 times per month. Great variety of options, every dish is fresh and served hot. The owners and staff are wonderful people. It is like dining with family.Vegetarian options: Grilled vegetables and a plethora of non meat selections. The staff will prepare off menu when available.Kid-friendliness: Children are treated as just part of the family.

I can definitely confirm that River Falls Cafe lived up to expectations and to the glowing reviews online. The service from Hannah and Ike was top notch. They were absolute delights to chat and banter with. All four of us loved our meals. My wife said her shrimp and grits was indeed some the best she’d ever had. My steak special was equally awesome. We felt that prices were quite fair for the quantity of food received. The ambiance is very quaint and homey. Bottom line? We will definitely return and bring more friends.

My husband and I had an excellent experience at River Falls Cafe. The food was amazing, the service was fast, the atmosphere was cozy, and the prices were very fair. I ordered the Mahi Mahi which was seasoned wonderfully, he had the NY strip which was cooked perfect to temperature and tender. He raved about the mashed potatoes with his meal as well. We also had the Key Lime Pie for dessert which was delicious. We will be returning and we are excited to see this place succeed!

The service was excellent today at lunch. Our waitress gave us the specials I choose the ribs and they were tender. Had banana pudding for dessert. The nachos are a great appetizer as well.

I’m so excited we have a delicious choice of dinner spots in the area. Today I tried River Falls Cafe for the first time and I am so glad I did. I ordered take out and the Chicken Alfredo was cooked perfectly and hot from the kitchen. My Chicken Tortilla Soup is so delicious! Hats off to the chef and the young lady who checked me out who was kind and respectful. She let me know to be careful since it was hot from the kitchen and careful with the items in the bag. I’m definitely going back and you won’t regret your decision of going.

Really enjoyed this spot. It is surprising because they have a full restaurant menu and a cafe as well. The food was great! I really want to go back for dinner and the iced latte was so good I ordered two!The service was awesome as well and very friendly.

I travel to Duncan for Business frequently. I have tried quite a few local restaurants. I went in for a sandwich, kind of a craving I was having. I saw their "Best Shrimp and Grits" award on the counter and I couldn't resist. Shrimp and Grits is my go to every where. I love it. Well... the award is well deserved. I enjoyed my dining experience. This is my kind of place. Not too big, nice and friendly. You can tell it isn't a chain. My only disappointment is that I have not found them sooner. Their menu looked great and I promised to be back tomorrow night to try the Cajun Pasta. It sounded just as good. I can't recommend River Falls Cafe highly enough! Go, you can thank me later.

I am so sad that I've slept on River Falls Cafe in Duncan for so long. My wife and I came here for our anniversary, and I have to tell y'all after over two years of living here I can say this is the BEST food I've had in the Grenville /Spartanburg area. I ordered the Cubano and it's the best Cubano I've had (and I've been to Miami MANY times), the white chicken chili was phenomenal, the blackened chicken and shrimp were cooked and seasoned perfectly, the jambalaya rice was outstanding. I'm writing this as I wait for our banana pudding, but I'd laymoney down on how it's going to turn out.On top of that the service was impeccable. Our server was attentive and hospitable.This is everything I thought Cribbs was going to be and more.As a food snob that rarely finds a spot that can cook better than I can I recommend this place 100%.

Jambalaya pasta spicy was loaded with flavor. Wifey’s shrimp n’ grits mild (wimp) was some of the best. Both were waitresses’ suggestions and did not disappoint. Great outside patio. Will definitely be back.

I have such a passion for small coffee shops. I walked into this one today and got so much more than that! They have a great selection of wine, coffee and beer options as well as a phenomenal menu. I got the crab rangoon dip and the C&B club to go. I haven't experienced such flavor or freshness from any other place in Duncan! I will definitely return!

Absolute GEM of a place. Everything I’ve ever had from here is delicious. Service is out of this world. Cutest little atmosphere!Every single Thanksgiving we order their platters and it truly is the best day of the year.If I could give more stars, I would.Have you even done a date night if you haven’t done it here?

I had the most amazing experience at Cork & Beans. I got the Clam Chowder it almost feels like it melts in your month. You'll also love the contrasting flavor of the saltiness in the cream $potatoes and and the fading bitterness of fresh “oceany” clams. I also had the best mimosa I have ever had in my life!

Took my daughter there tonight and sat oitside for an early dinner. Smoked meatloaf? Yes, please! Great choices on the menu, including nightly specials. Family friendly atmosphere, the staff and chef are all VERY involved in the customer experience. Well worth the stop to eat! I can't wait to go back and try the Cuban Sandwich for lunch, one of my all time favorites from living in Miami. Thanks for an excellent dinner, you're much appreciated!Parking: Good sized lot with many spacesKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, from the staff to the dishes available.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot level access

Wonderful atmosphere. Service was quick and food was delicious. Some people have trouble finding the balance of mustard and pickles for a Cuban but their Cuban sandwich had the perfect balance. I was thoroughly impressed. We will be back!Kid-friendliness: We had our 9 month old with us. They were so friendly and talked to him. He absolutely loved the strawberries and rice. We apologized for the mess and she said “don’t worry about it, I’ll clean it up!” Wonderful family owned establishment!
