    I wish I could specifically review each item that we ordered but I can’t. I had my son order based on his previous experience. What I can say is that every single item was excellent. Sierra, our server was exceptional and I will request her on my next visit. Some will say it’s a little pricey. That is obviously relative and subjective. For my money and experience I’m just looking forward to my next visit to O-Ku. Excellent

    This place never disappoints. If you’re looking for southern comfort food done right this is the place. We visit every time we come to Greenville. The sassafras chicken is one of our favorites. Shrimp and grits, salmon, steaks are all very good. Side dish choices are perfect accompaniments. The service and hospitality are spot on. Great daily specials. Very welcoming place.

    Wonderful time celebrating my sister's Bachelorette! Cristal L was our server and so nice and attentive. The drinks were expensive but so worth the price. The drinks have fun trinkets and tasted amazing. The ambience and music of the restaurant was good. We didn't eat food there, we just went for drinks. We had reservations and were seated at our table immediately. The restaurant was so nice in letting us moving our reservation back (of course we did this with plenty of time to spare, not last minute). They also give you a 15 min grace period if you are running slightly behind.
