Stella's Southern Brasserie anchors Legacy Square, the town center of the Hollingsworth Park neighborhood in the Verdae development on Greenville's southeast side. It is a neighborhood restaurant in the real sense: a relaxed brasserie with a full bar, community seating, and a patio, run by the Scholz family, whose original Stella's Southern Bistro sits down in Simpsonville.
The kitchen works a French-leaning brasserie template with a Southern accent, cooked from local and seasonal ingredients across lunch, dinner, and a busy weekend brunch. The signatures hold steady, shrimp and grits and steak frites among them, and there is a whole coffee-and-provisions side to the place: a proper espresso program, house pastries, and grab-and-go items for anyone who just wants to duck in. Brunch is what fills the room, from those shrimp and grits to one of the better Bloody Marys around.
