River Falls Cafe — Restaurant in South Carolina

I truly can't recommend this place enough. Every single thing ordered here is super delicious, I would easily put this place in my top 3 favorite restaurants in the area. I came here before when it was originally Cork & Beans and it was an overall 'ok' experience, so I was a little nervous coming back here after the name change, but I wanted to give it a fair shot again and it definitely exceeded expectations.

Such a cozy atmosphere, I almost wish I could move in. Instant walking in, was hit with the most delicious smells. We went just as it opened on a Saturday afternoon, so I'm not sure how busy it normally is, but there was no one besides us. I would assume the earlier the better to miss the crowd because there's only a handful of spots to sit down indoors. The man who greeted and served us was super super kind, same with the chef in the back (he made everything so quick !!!! it was wild considering we ordered several things), he even came out after we ate and made sure to check up on us, if we enjoyed it, etc. I had the Jambalaya pasta, it was absolutely heavenly, and a peach smoothie because its been hot lately. With no exaggeration it was the best smoothie I've ever had. It was so unexpected. If you like a slightly tart-er buffalo chicken dip, this one is for you.

Overall an incredible experience and I can't stress enough how sweet and attentive the staff were. The only thing I could POSSIBLY complain about is the chairs, as cute as they were they are far too small especially for people with thicker thighs/waist like me and the bars were digging into my sides (im praying for the chairs to be changed out before by the time I next come back 😭🙏).

Please consider this place for your next outing, it will not...

We went to River Falls Cafe (formerly Cork ‘n Beans) after having heard good reviews and that French Dip sandwich was on the menu. I ordered the French Dip for $10 and it was very good. There is a white or Munster? cheese topping the roast beef. The roast beef was tender and flavorful, the Au Jus was delicious and the roll was perfect in taste and texture.

My husband ordered the shrimp and grits for $17.00. It was a good size plate with an ample portion of big, beautiful shrimp and also Andouille sausage. There was a delicious sauce with sautéed green peppers and onions and even though I’m not a “grits” girl, I’m becoming one after this delicious dish.

The restaurant itself is very comfortable with bright decor. It’s small and a bit cozy and has great ambiance. I hope they are successful enough to add-on to their space. It is already great addition to Duncan. The owners and staff are very welcoming and friendly. We totally enjoyed our time spent there.

I hope they will add a neon sign over their business so it’s visible at night and is a draw for possible patrons unaware of its presence. We really want this business to succeed as the food is so delicious and Duncan really needs more restaurants with really delicious food.

The beer prices were good. A Stella was $4.00. They also have a wine list.

We’ll definitely be back. They had several specials that sounded very tempting and a pretty impressive menu. Be sure and try this delightful Cafe. You’ll be...

We use to enjoy going here because the coffee and desserts are good. The food is not very impressive and tends to be on the bland side, but some of the appetizers are pretty good. Overall, as a coffee shop, we enjoyed it. However, we had such a bad experience at our last visit that we will not be back. One person in our party has a chronic cough, related in no way to Covid, shortly after sitting down with our coffee a woman came out from the kitchen and started asking if there was something wrong with him. He said no, and because she looked nervous, he explained that it was a cough that flared up sometimes and is not contagious. She seemed ok and went back in the kitchen. Shortly later, she came out of the kitchen yelling, making a spectacle of herself, and saying we all had to leave because "there is something wrong with him." Now, when I say yelling, I mean she was so loud that everyone else in the shop stopped what they were doing to look. The level of unprofessionalism from what, I suspect, is the owner is appalling. None of us will be back. While I understand she may have been concerned, this behavior was unacceptable. Clearly no training or experience in management is present, and perhaps none in...
