“ This place is AWESOME! We LOVED the lobster roll (we got warm but they have hot & cold versions), as well as the fish & chips and fish dip. My bf also thought the oysters were great. The menu isn’t huge but you can tell they make every dish earn its keep. We will definitely be back. Our server Zack was fantastic! ”
“ We've been to Mr. Crisp 3 times in the last few months. Probably our favorite restaurant in Greenville right now! The food is truly incredible. The menu changes frequently with lots of creativity, and the cocktail menu is next level. It was Lobster Week when we went last time and we tried several of the lobster dishes. They were all delicious, but the ceviche and the mac and cheese were unforgettable (see the pictures). I got a burger from their "Burger Night" the first time we went and it was seriously the best burger I've ever had. Sunday brunch is also a must! (And don't skip the pastries / desserts...sticky toffee pudding anyone?!) The front-of-house manager Luke and our server David were great, both very knowledgeable about the menu and took good care of us. So go check it out! Especially if you like seafood. ”
“ Our server was excellent and gave us excellent recommendations from the menu. He was super helpful with explaining the menu items and recommending what to try. For Drinks: Heffe Weizen Craft Beer and Crisp 75. Appetizer: Smoked Fish spread with Smoked White Fish, Old Bay Saltines, Bread & Butter Pickle. Hush Puppies with Chili & Dulse Honey Butter. Entrees: Fish & Chips was Hand Battered Icelandic Cod, Chipperbec Fries, Malt Vinegar Aioli, with Smashed Pea, and Tamaki Gold Risotto with Uni Butter, Bradford Collard, Lion's Mane Mushroom, Green Bean, Nori, Salmon Roe. Desssert was similar to beignets with chocolate sauce for dipping. If you have not tried this place, you need to. Let’s eat!! We did and went back again. The food was just as good as the first time. ”
“ I've been visiting Mr. Crisp for about a year now, and I can confidently say they serve the best oysters in town. Chef Carlos, co-owner and head chef, personally selects some of the finest oysters I’ve ever tasted. I truly appreciate his knack for sourcing wild oysters and offering the best caviar I've enjoyed in quite some time. His unique take on fish and chips, along with the rest of the seafood menu, surpasses anything I’ve encountered in Greenville for seafood. The staff is very knowledgeable, and the cheerful atmosphere makes each visit a delightful experience that keeps me coming back for more. ”
“ Food is different from other seafood restaurants in a tasty, healthy and delicious way. We had the opportunity to be part of the collaboration wine dinner with Chef Carlos Baez and Chef Josh Hopkins and it was a wonderful experience. The best Italian cuisine we ever had, was seafood inspired and delicious. Dishes well seasoned, balanced and with great wine pairing. The service was excellent. ”
“ Kendall served Ashleigh and me (Cat) last night 12/18/24 was super helpful with explaining the menu items and recommending what to try. She seemed very knowledgeable about the food and excited for us to try the lump crab cake which was all crab and super delicious. The wagyu tartare was absolutely amazing as well and so was the smoked fish spread! All the food sucker tasty. I have not had oysters in so long and most of the it was incredibly excellent. Ashleigh and I definitely would come back soon! ”
“ You have not been here? If you eat fish-you must have dinner here. Visiting old friends here in Greenville. Dining partners had tuna crudo- exceptional full tuna flavor was enhanced even further with creative herbs. You can stay classic with exceptional cod and chips Or crazy creative oyster grits- texture and flavor one of a kind. Flavor bomb. Perfectly cooked oysters. One of the best food experiences we have had ( Rome, Madrid, San Fran, New York . . .) This is a destination. Amazing chef Reserve a table and get here. ”
“ First off, David, our server, was spectacular and gave the 6 of us excellent recommendations. Then came the na drinks for Dry January. They were so delicious, the Winters Kiss and Lavender Lemonade were must have. We each tasted each other's entrees and everything we ordered was seriously top notch. We will be going back again. ”
