Restaurants near Olde English District

Always a great dinner and good time when we visit! Meredith was fantastic:) if possible could we request her when dining - everyone is always going the extra mile but Meredith really made us feel “at home” :)

Our experience at Kounter was, as usual - outstanding. After living in the Rock Hill area for most of my life, my husband, friends, and I have enjoyed Kounter multiple times in the past - and when we came back to town to visit with my family and celebrate my birthday, I wanted to make a reservation for lunch. When we walked in, our table was ready and we were seated immediately. The chef and the rest of the staff had taken the time to write a hand-written note on a card to wish me a Happy Birthday, which I felt was a very special touch to our visit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and great at communicating. The food... WOW, the food. I got the Black Truffle Grilled Cheese with Smoked Tomato Bisque and the flavors were insane (in an incredibly good way). My husband got the Bussin' Bussin' Burger with Crispy Asian Brussels - and again, it blew us away with the flavors. I could have eaten an entire pasta-sized bowl of those brussels. My parents got the Cubana with the brussels and the Parmesan Creamed Corn - also very good. At the end - they surprised me with "Mom's Chocolate Pie" and they had placed a single lit candle in the center. It was the perfect touch to end the meal and the pie was scrumptious. I have obviously, always enjoyed Kounter - or else I wouldn't have made a reservation to celebrate my birthday with my family there. With that said, after this visit, I felt the need to come to the internet and rave about how truly incredible this little gem of a restaurant is so others will also know. This was the perfect visit to a restaurant for me. It was even more special to see the names of the Friendship Nine carved into the wood lining the walls. What an incredibly special place to celebrate my birthday and the history of the location. Bravo to the entire Kounter team for creating such an incredible place for locals to enjoy an incredible menu, a friendly staff, and a little bit of our history. Thank you!

Great service, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was delightful. Would recommend anyone to dine here.

Jule (or Jewel?) was our server & efficient & friendly! We really appreciated her attentiveness g pleasant demeanor during a busy Valentine's lunch! The restaurant is beautiful and we had a bright day to enjoy the light. The classic decor and chandeliers, tables, the fountain... everything makes this restaurant special. Even the sales staff for the furniture store were so friendly and welcoming as we came in! The sommelier was very helpful & the Executive Chef came through and definitely sold us on the creme brulee with the house made caramel! The food was delicious and we enjoyed our time with RH rooftop and staff. Thank you!

Shayne was awesome! My NC Mountain Stuffed Trout was delicious, the lemon ver blanc was amazing with the sweet potatoes, my hibiscus breeze was so good I ordered another. The view was incredible! Beautiful way to begin my birthday celebrations!
