Editorial Review
Step inside Soby’s, and you’re greeted by exposed brick walls that echo with decades of Southern stories and the hum of Greenville’s energetic Main Street. There’s a sense of occasion here—polished but never pretentious, where locals linger over glasses from an award-winning wine list while visitors soak in the pulse of downtown. The air carries the scent of shrimp and grits, crab cakes crisped just right, and biscuits that crumble at your touch. Out on the patio, laughter drifts beneath string lights as friends trade stories over updated Southern classics—fried green tomatoes with pimento fondue, short ribs melting into truffled grits. Service manages to be attentive yet unhurried, making even a bustling Friday night feel inviting. Soby’s stands as a bridge between tradition and reinvention: a place where Greenville’s heritage meets its modern ambitions, drawing regulars and newcomers alike into its comfortable embrace.
