The Flipside Restaurant: A Southern Culinary Gem in Rock Hill, SC

Good food, good service. Would go back! Very clean. The waitress was very attentive!

I got the Avocado steak toast. It was ok. Not much steak on it and no flavor. The avocado tastes too vinegary. Got a 4 star because my boyfriend loved the lobster omelet, the prices are very reasonable, and the waitress was beyond upbeat and friendly, and service was fast.

Always a great go to breakfast place when family is in town. I love their grits and omelet. The service is always great and the atmosphere is not to busseling.

Out of town on business trip and found this jewel through Yelp. It's tucked back entrance is next to the parking lot. It's an older building, beautifully decorated and has character. The gentleman who took care of was Eric. Excellent service, excellent conversation and all around just plain made you feel better by chatting. My order consisted of fried green tomatoes, crab cakes and chocolate pecan pie. All fresh, all tasty and worth a returned visit!

My wife and I are in town for a wedding and house shopping. This was our first visit. We stopped in early afternoon to make reservations for dinner and the hostess was very helpful. Our server was excellent I wish I remembered his name. My family and I split a meat and cheese board which was excellent. I had the Rueben. I am very particular about my Rueben's but I have to say it was one of the best I've ever had. My step son had the fried chicken and my wife had the scallops. They said their dishes were also top notch. We will definitely be back!

We arrived at 5:30 pm, but the place was already halfway packed. There were several seats (at least half a dozen?) open in the main room. Still, we were escorted to the back room since the remaining tables were supposedly booked by folks that made reservations. The back room was cold and had this stark, uncozy ambiance (possibly due to the raw flooring?)...despite some good art on the walls. Also, the hard chairs were not comfy in the least. Oh Well. This time, we started with the Fried Calamari appetizer...then we decided to share a plate of Short Rib, along with a side of Brussels Sprouts. Then ended with their version of Creme Brulee. For drinks, my husband got some beer, and I tried this mocktail, Summer Berry Splash (or something like that). Well, as always, everything was DEE-Lish. Unfortunately, the presentation of all the dishes, from appetizer to dessert, was just NOT good. Very sloppy! Maybe they got too busy in the kitchen to care?? Not only crudely presented this time, the Short Rib dish was just a lesser version than the last time. The meaty portion seemed smaller, and there was definitely less Risotto...and this time, the carrots were just yellow...not a mixture of orange and yellow carrots. Good thing that it tasted just as good...though it didn't look as good. See both pictures of this Short Rib (last year, and today), and you'll see what I mean. My husband was very disappointed with the Creme Brulee. The crust wasn't hard enough...nor warm enough. The entire dessert was cold! Plus, what's up with the topping? No strawberries or blueberries...just cream?? Hostess was somewhat snotty in attitude and borderline rude, but the waitress was quite friendly and courteous. Obviously, there were some disappointments this time. As much as I like this restaurant (one of my faves in Rock Hill), I wasn't too impressed this time. The entire dining experience was sub-par...and the food presentation was bordering terrible. Am truly hoping that it was just an off night...so I'll just dock 1 star this time. Hopefully I can upgrade this review on a future visit.

Very cool place to dine with generous portions and eclectic, difficult-to-choose-from food selections. I could have eaten anything on their menu! Jenna was able to secure me with a preview of their cold-brew coffee martini, and I warmed up to it over dinner. I selected the pecan-crusted trout on a bed of risotto with asparagus. The trout was light and flaky, though by itself might have been a smidge bland. But pair it with the nutty risotto and the tender asparagus, adding the peach chutney, and what an explosion of beautiful taste! I forced myself to have a bananas foster cheesecake for dessert, and it was the bomb!! A definite place to return to on future trips to Rock Hill! This is a foodie paradise!

We were looking for a local lunch spot, and this place more than exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was quaint, and you could tell a variety of people ranging from family members to coworkers were gathering here for lunch. The menu was easy to read and everything you could ask for was listed. The staff was friendly and provided great service. I ordered the shrimp and grits which came in a skillet. The flavor was a little sweeter than I was used to; yet, it was a nice surprise.
