Luke's

Great food, service, and atmosphere. We came in on a steady busy Saturday morning approx 8am. The service was great was even just one waitress working most tables (Jazmen). She was very attentive. The food was great. I got the chicken and waffles and the chicken batter was crispy and delicious. The waffles were great. This is served with red onions but I did not include these on my order. Next time I probably would order a side of butter with my waffles to hydrate them. My son ordered the French toast dressed with fruit and that was an excellent choice. We definitely will be coming back here. Their menu options were appealing, and I appreciated the unique options they had for a child’s menu. Simple and convenient!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Step Back in Time – True 1920s Home Cooking Luke’s in downtown Greenville isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a trip back to when meals were made from scratch, recipes were passed down through generations, and every bite felt like home. We started with Mom’s Biscuits, served warm with freshly churned butter and a real strawberry preserve—not the overly sweet kind of today, but the smooth, rich kind that actually tastes like strawberries. The biscuits themselves? Golden, fluffy, and made the way they used to be—no sugar, just real, honest baking. For the main dish, I ordered Chicken Fried Chicken with Two Over-Easy Eggs, Home Fries, and Gravy. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, with a crisp yet tender breading that didn’t overpower the meat. The gravy was thick, rich, and homemade—none of that instant packet stuff. The home fries were golden and crispy, and if I had to guess, I’d say the ketchup and hot sauce were house-made too—flavorful, balanced, and free from the overly processed taste of modern condiments. Luke’s doesn’t just serve food—it serves memories. If you’re looking for real, old-fashioned home cooking without the excess sugar and shortcuts of today, this is the place. 5/5, can’t wait to come back and try more!

We had the absolute best visit to Luke’s today! Great service, yummy food, atmosphere was beautiful and inviting! I was a little nervous since it’s still fairly new but it didn’t disappoint! The homemade biscuits were so good! My son tried the waffles and loved them! Everything we ordered came out hot, quickly and tasted fabulous! Exciting to have a new spot in town and grateful for the opportunity to support a local business! Give it a shot!!

As diners go, Luke's is by far possibly one of the best I have been to. The food was fresh, hot, and flavorful. Our server, Jazmen, was so attentive and accommodated us on everything we needed. She even let us know that our food was going to take a bit longer than usual because they had a larger table that came in before us. However, the wait wasn't really that long and it was worth the wait and the gesture was very much appreciated. The menu is nice and simple. Great industrial farmhouse atmosphere, clean, cozy! We will definitely be coming back to Luke's! 10/10.

DELICIOUS!!! The Chicken and Waffles were fantastic. Full Of flavor, crispy waffles yet light and fluffy. Chicken breading was fantastic lots of flavor and crispy. Big full biscuits with real butter and homemade jam. Best breakfast in Town!!!

Our first visit. Delicious food. Great service from Khallie. Fast, friendly, and very clean. Pleasant atmosphere. We will definitely dine there again. We ordered roasted chicken and shrimp and grits. Dessert was blueberry cheesecake.

Truly, this place was really great and the food tasted amazing. I had the Chicken and Waffles and man, it was good. Still craving more of it. My only feedback is that I paid $18, not including tax or tip to walk out, still hungry. It doesn't come with any sides and it comes with a single waffle and a single piece of chicken that was kinda small. Personally speaking, it should come with some type of side like hashbrowns or potatoes. Something Salty, or add more of the main dish. Outside of still leaving hungry, it was a great first experience.

What a great place! The food was wonderful and had distinct flavorings in each classic southern dish. The service was fast and the kitchen got out food to us in good time. My wife and I were impressed and definitely plan to come back.

The food was really good and flavorful. The biscuits and gravy were delicious but not super warm when they arrived but I let our server know and they warmed them for me. Omelette and home fries were really good and came out nice and hot. The service was great and everyone was super friendly. The restaurant is very clean and cute. Would definitely go back.

Yea Greenville!!! Great breakfast place here. (I'll be trying lunch soon.) Mom and I stopped in because we heard there was good things going on here. She had an omelette with potatoes and she said it was great! A side of peppered bacon made her a happy lady. I tried the Jim's SOS and it was fantastic. A side of cheesy grits made my day. The set up is really cute. And the waitress was very friendly and efficient. The wait time was just right for visiting. I have to say the only thing to think about, bring a sweater in the mornings if you are there early. It was a little chilly inside. ;)

Luke's is just what downtown Greenville needs. In fact we are very excited to have this growth. We went for breakfast with our two kids and we really loved the kids menu. The PB&J is on simple Texas toast bread and peanut butter and jelly. No bells. No whistles. And if you know kids this sometimes is perfection! As it was for our 5 year old. Our 2 year old had the kids pancakes and it was very good. One suggestion, we would have rather 2-3 small pancakes instead of 1 large. It was very hard for her to navigate. Chicken and waffles were good but needed spice. Hot honey would have been really nice but the waffle flavor and chicken was very good. Make your own omelettes are simple but perfect for a diner. Everything is new inside and love the use of the buildings charm. Very Prairie Coffee esk which we love. Also use of prairie coffee for their coffee is a smart idea. Staffing needs some work, but employees are new so it's understandable. Didn't bother us but our omelette had incorrect ingredients. We were told the kids breakfasts came with a cup of fruit and they did not. We were served a pile of fries instead. The kids really enjoyed it but we had a lot of food waste since the portions were enormous for kids meals. Side of sausage was very very good. Recommended. Bathrooms are spotless! And I truly believe this business is going to be a huge success. Keep grinding! We can't wait to be supper club regulars!

Amazing service. Friendly waitress. Cute hometown atmosphere. I had the patty melt burger which was good. And the menu left me wanting to come back and try more.

Our server, Jasmine (I think) was attentive and efficient. I had the salmon toast and loved it. My husband has an omelette and it was cooked perfectly. Very clean, neat little stop on our roadtrip. Definitely recommend.

OH. MY. GOODNESS. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a meal this much! Everything was delicious. The staff were welcoming and handled the lunch rush without missing a beat. Do yourself a favor and order the biscuits, they're mouthwatering! My omelette and home fries were perfect. I'll be back for family meals or a lunch break as soon as possible. So happy to have you in downtown Greenville. Hats off to the Luke's team!

Good food, great place to relax. Team is very helpful. If it is not on the menu ask they may make it for you. Locally owned which is the best. Stop by and give them a try.

Found on internet. Knew Easter Sunday would be busy so decided to try. Fairly new. Great location. Clean and nicely decorated. Greeted as soon as we walked in. Breakfast menu not large but something for everyone I would say. They do have a kids menu. My eggs were cold perfectly. Best I've had in a long time. I do recommend the biscuits with honey butter. Chicken fried steak was large and came with home fries . We will definitely go back. Next time maybe to try lunch or dinner. I would recommend as a little off the beaten path and not jam-packed.

We have been to Luke's a few times now and the interior is always clean and tidy. The food is delicious and made from scratch. Servers are kind and attentive. My go-to place for breakfast/brunch in Greenville.

great service. lovely building. generous space between tables. interesting menu with variety. reasonable prices. food is amazing, really deliciou. the negatives. lack of parking. if yiu are on a low salt diet, you may want to ask if they can withh some of tge salt. tge food is very good, however it does have a bit more salt than I am used to. Greenville is fortunate to have this caliber of cuisine.

Just visited for a family brunch. Definitely worth a visit in the future. The food was fresh and filling. Our server was attentive and checked in if we needed anything. We will be coming back for sure.

An actual chef works here. Best food in greenville hands down. Anything you order there will taste good

Second time going for breakfast and the service is always good. The food is always satisfying. I will continue to eat here. One of the best breakfast places in Greenville (if not the best)

Chicken was excellent. Farro bowl was tasty. Service was attentive and thoughtful. Clean and fresh atmosphere.

Delicious, the food was fantastic. Chicken and Waffles were so tasty. The crust on the chicken was crunchy and the flavor was full. Waffles are crisp and light full of flavor. Butter milk biscuits came with Real butter and homemade jam. They were packed with flavor. Best breakfast in town.

Southern fare with a flair. I've been a few times and they've been very accommodating, from letting me order a pancake off the kids' menu to subbing chicken for ham on an omelette. The menu is typical diner fare with subtle hints of flavor and spice. They have a short rib hash that's quite tasty and doesn't skimp on the short rib!

First visit experience. Here for breakfast, was greeted immediately by very friendly hosts. Waitress came right over with menu and asked for drink order. Return quickly and took order. Food came out in regular time expected. Wife ordered the French toast and sausage patties. I had the chicken fried chicken plate. French toast was very good, and sausage patties were Big. My chicken was hand breaded and crunchy outside and juicy inside, potatoes seasoned nicely and crisp, scrambled eggs nicely done. The food was great as well as the service. The place is very clean and open design. Prices are the new average, but the portions are good size and flavor is great! We'll be back for sure.

Food was spectacular, aesthetics were on point and service was spot on! Will definitely come back and try more of their menu items. 1 hr drive is a small price to pay for food and service this good!

The food was amazing! Plan and time your visit as there can be a wait at times. This is a great addition to the downtown area.

The food was so good!! The wait staff very attentive and considerate of my dietary restrictions! The atmosphere is very relaxed!! Love this place!!!

Came back and ate the fried chicken sandwich...SOOOOO GOOOD! This is what will keep me coming back!

Great food and prices, with generous portions and a friendly staff. This is just what the area needs and we will be back, without doubt. Try it-you won't be disappointed!

Ordered the chicken fried steak and Smashburger. Home fries and french fries were well seasoned and cooked well. The chicken fried steak was overcooked. Gravy was very tasty. The Smashburger wasn't really smashed. It appeared that it was just your basic burger with onions and cheese. It was very undercooked. It wasnt a thin patty like a smash burger should be. Had I known that I needed to say how to cook my patty I would have done so. Instead, I got a undercooked hamburger meat patty that I did not eat. I did not get the bread and butter pickles that was supposed to come with it either. $50 for a hamburger and french fries and a chicken fried steak with home fries. Not a deal. Not worth it. Not impressed. However Service was good. Very pretty interior.

Had brunch today , chicken fried chicken and eggs for me and wife had the shrimp and grits, both were delicious! The service is great, our waiter was very young but enthusiastic. Price is reasonable for the quality, highly recommend.

We were a group of eight and I think five of them ordered omelettes, one pancakes, one a burger and I ordered migas. Every migas I ever ordered had eggs as the main ingredient with add-ons of tortilla strips, peppers, onions, tomatoes, etc. This had mainly tortilla strips and it would have taken a spy glass to spot any egg. All this for $13. I know there is an eggs shortage, but the other patrons got real omelettes. As to service, it was slow, but in their defense, they had just seated another large party before us. The place was kind of noisy, but the surroundings were industrial/shabby chic in a good way. I will go back but I won't order the migas.

Poor customer service. Unfortunately we waited for 15 minutes at our table not one server asked us if we have been helped. The establishment will not last very long with service like this. If you're heavy on customer service I definitely do not recommend Luke's.

First time we ate there, not busy at all. We had a new waiter first day going, Order Waffles which were fabulous, although asking if could just order 1 and stated couldn't, so asked for the kids pancake meal being on a diet and was told he couldn't do that, so ordered side of sausage that was disgusting and not cooked very bright pink inside brought it to the waiters attention and this is after waiting for server after 45 minutes and no refills on drinks, and he politely asked if we would like the check. Never a discount or even to take the sausage back for a remake.
