Evolve Kitchen Table - Clemson

My son ordered the kids' cheese quesadilla, and he thought it was fine, but again, nothing special. I'm left wondering if the restaurant is famous for other items on the menu, or if perhaps the more basic offerings simply cater to the college crowd. I'm not sure what all the hype is about. The server and host were friendly, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the front, but the service was just okay—not anything to write home about. Overall, I don’t think I’d return anytime soon.

My wife insisted that we go to the restaurant because she had such a fantastic experience there with her sister last time. Unfortunately, it got busy quickly and they were short-staffed. We ended up waiting an hour for our sandwiches, with only one person attending to the entire bar, which was surprisingly large. The service was slow and the food was disappointing. The fried green tomatoes were enormous and undercooked, with the breading falling off. My wife ordered the chicken sandwich, but it arrived cold and rubbery, along with cold truffle fries that were more like potato wedges. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, which was lukewarm, flavorless, and also came with cold truffle fries. We barely touched our food; my wife had only one fry and a few bites of her sandwich. Even a blind server could see we were not satisfied. We paid and left, and we won’t be returning. It just wasn’t worth the money.

The food was amazing! My daughter ordered the steak tacos and declared them the best tacos she’s ever had. I opted for the Keowee salad topped with steak, which was incredibly fresh and delicious.

Actually didn't get to try the food because no one would wait on us. Walked in and were pointed to a table in the back. No one came with a menu or asking for a drink order. Others came in and were served and we just sat and waited eventually deciding that was enough and left.

We were lucky to happen to sit at the bar for this, our first visit to Evolve. Plus, the bartender, relatively new to this position, was personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. Sorry we didn’t get her name, but she was true icing on the cake. Thanks and all the best in your life journey!Btw, … Awesome food! I had the kale, avocado, pomegranate, feta, pecan salad with grilled shrimp. Wow!
