On a Saturday night, we didn’t have a reservation but to my surprise we didn’t have to wait for a table. The service was good and friendly. I’m ordered sushi rolls and my husband had fish & chips. I thought that sushi were just OK, but I would rather go to Japanese place for authentic sushi. Fish and chips were excellent. Great location in the heart of Greer!

I loved our experience at Great Bay so much I forgot to take a picture of my delicious sushi roll🔥🔥 The bartender, whos name I don't remember, was fantastic (She said she's worked there for 8 years). The oysters were delicious, the crab cake is 1000% my favorite locally, and the sushi roll rivaled local sushi restaurants. Alcohol prices were fair(that earns a ton of points), and nothing was priced higher than it was worth in my opinion. Definitely go. Delicious date night; group dinner; etc. 🔥

When in Greer, this is our must go to restaurant. Heather is the best waitress ever. Sorry to hear about her Dad passing away. Paul's sushi is always delicious. Some of the best ever! We had oysters too. Jim had fish tacos and onion rings. Think he cleared them off the plates!! I opted for the most delicious crab cake. Wish we lived closer. Merry Christmas to everyone at GBOH.

In my opinion, the best place in the entire Upstate of SC to eat raw oysters! Always excellent service, and as many times as I’ve been over the past 10 years or so, the food has been wonderful every time! One of my favourite places to eat, and you can go in there in jeans or dressed up, it doesn’t matter. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night, of course don’t be surprised if you don’t have reservations and have to wait. Great variety on the menu, all the dishes are great that I’ve tried and those I’ve dined with have tried. Highly recommend to locals and tourists alike!

I'm is coarse a fan of the downtown pub with a brick walls and me classic oldies on the radio so... I especially enjoyed the environment. The only caveat about this restaurant is that they don't open till 4:30 on Friday and Saturdays so keep that in mind when planning your dinner time out... but know it's worth the wait. The staff is also very welcoming and friendly, and although they don't open till 4:30 when the sun is trying to set in the spring and they tried to set us by the window in the blinding setting sun... We ended up at a high-top table near the bar that was comfy and still fairly quiet but also near the central hub of activity. For an appetizer we started with the sausage and cheese dip. It was delish, my husband liked all the meat and cheese and I like the fresh bits of onion and tomato that garnish the center and for me balanced out the richness of the sausage and cheese dip. I got a sweet tea with lemons because I prefer an Arnold Palmer that's not mixed with high fructose corn syrup of fake lemonade... The sweet tea in and of itself was pretty great considering I don't usually enjoy the overly sweet and Southern style sweet teas served in the south... but this was very nicely balanced with the strong bitterness of the black tea against the light sweetness of the sugar. My tea went extremely well with the the great oyster house burger and those perfectly crispy double fried seasoned french fries. I would prefer the burger without the fried onion strings as I think they just added a lot of grease and not a whole lot of flavor. But otherwise having to eat a well done burger due to pregnancy, I found it still perfectly juicy and delicious. My husband got a Seasonal Sam Adams on tap that paired nicely with his fresh raw Blue Point Oysters from Prince Edwards Island. He especially liked the horseradish paired with the oysters. Our waitress Katie excellent, not overly attentive but kept an eye out for when if we needed anything. Overall I would recommend this place and definitely come back another time.

This was an amazing place. The service was great. They made you feel like family. Our group had oysters, calamari, sushi, smothered chicken, hamburger, parmesan fries, and 4 different kinds of dessert..and every bit of it was amazing. Katie was an awesome waitress who was on top of it. We never had to ask for refills and the service was very fast.... and it was a very busy Friday night... and let me not forget the prices were lower then I would have ever imagined. We will definitely be back.
