Had an awesome time with my friend for dinner. Great service from Tiffany (I believe that was her name). I ordered a red Sangria which was refreshing and good. We had the deep fried deviled egg with beef bacon on top ( I ate one before taking a picture, couldn'tresist). I had wings (lemon pepper) and fries on this trip. Wings were the right amount of flavor and crisp thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely will be back to try other items on the menu, especially the collards.

We finally had the chance to check out Kream, the new restaurant at Carolina Place Mall. Despite the mixed reviews I read, we were eager to try this Black-owned establishment in our own backyard. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere was quiet and calming, complemented by exceptional service. The food was fantastic—kudos to the chef! The fried deviled eggs are a must-try, as is the onion ring tower, which avoids the heavy batter typical of many chain restaurants. We had the salmon and grits and the crab cake grilled cheese, both of which were well-prepared, beautifully presented, and remarkably delicious. We’re sure to return!

My boyfriend & I dined in a on Thursday night for the first time. We were greeted by Brie & she was a delight to have as a waitress! Very bubbly & explained the menu well to us. The drinks were amazingggg. I ordered the Sugar Rae’s (colorful one) & he ordered the Bourbon smash (red one). I’m usually not a fan of Bourbon but I ended up ordering it on our 2nd round because it was so good. The lamb chops (medium) were cooked to perfection, well seasoned, not chewy. We also ordered Brussel sprouts which were the best we’ve ever had! We hardly had room for dessert but pushed through & ordered the “Peach Euphoria” The decor is classy & clean, the music is great, the service was speedy. Be ready to spend a little cash lol. $$$ The only critique I have is that I wish the pasta had a little more seasoning on the noddles but the shrimp was well seasoned. Wishing this establishment the best!

The waitress , Kiyah, was really sweet and helped with my friend celebrating her birthday with ease. The food was GREAT!!! I had lamb chops, asparagus, mashed potatoes. We had the Spinach wontons and egg rolls with the Watermelon Salsa! I wish could buy that salsa and take it home!!! I was definitely worth the hour and a half drive!

My experience at Kream by Kope was absolutely delightful from start to finish. We indulged in an appetizer feast, starting with their irresistible Onion Ring Tower and Lemon Pepper Wings. Both were impeccably prepared and set the stage for what was to come. Although we initially aimed for the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich, which unfortunately was unavailable, we weren't disappointed for long. Instead, we opted for more of their tantalizing wings, a testament to how good they truly were. The entrees we did enjoy were equally outstanding. The Shrimp and Grits were packed with flavor, and the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich (substituted with more wings) was a blissful combination of savory and spicy. Beyond the food, the service was exemplary. Our server, Bri, not only provided attentive and friendly service but also exuded a contagious energy that enhanced our dining experience. To complement the exceptional food and service, the drinks were top tier, further enhancing our evening. In summary, Kream by Kope exceeded our expectations in every aspect. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.
