Kalahari Ocean Grill

Had the swordfish and loved it. Wife had tuna and it was good too. The tomato basil soup was phenom too. Great place to stop for lunch or dinner. Glad we chose here over fast food on the drive to ATL.

Stopped here on our way from GA to NC the day before thanksgiving and had a delicious meal and WONDERFUL service. Bartender was so friendly and sweet. Delicious soup, calamari, and Cesar salad & shrimp. There was one lady who worked there who came around when the apps came out, and was rude to the bartender… which was so uncalled for. Seemed like a power hungry manager wanted to get her self-​assurance. Other than the mean lady, awesome experience! we’ll be back the next time we pass through!

Well we picked this place cause of the good reviews. Welllll it was ordinary to say the least. The appetizer shrimp and Caesar was good. Boy had carabean jerk chicken or something like that and I had catfish. We were here for lunch so got lunch portions. That’s ok. Boy said his sauce was spicey but no bite like carabean should be. My catfish had a great Panco crust but the fish itself was bland. Now dont get me wrong it WAS a nice size filet and the crust was perfect but the fish inside had no flavor! I salted the crust but it didn’t make the fish inside taste any different. The tarter sort of helped. I asked the waitress sooo is the fish seasoned? (thinking it maybe but my taste buds are off this day ya know). The answer was,” Well I dont know I just bring out what u order” Really??? «We never had anyone complain about our food. Everyone loves it». Okay just asking a question converts into complaining I’m thinking??? My brain went into a brain fart. My opinion of this place is my own and I think they are more of a BAR scene than food. Some things were ok tho. Not coming back thanks to the waitress.

Food is pretty good. Dining room is nice enough.
If want to pick up food you have to wait in the bar area. Be prepared for a wall of smoke. Won’t be doing that anymore.

Food was not that great but service was great. I ordered the wings, 6 Jamaican dry rub and 6 hot. They were ok but They weren’t flavorful and a bit hard and overcooked. I had leftovers but threw them away. People were extremely nice though!

I seriously needed to update my review. I stopped in here again 6÷17÷2015. I sat in the bar area because I was ordering food to go. The atmosphere was kind of Roadhouse, the food is still good, but clientele and atmosphere will not bring in people who appreciate great food. They suffer from an identity crisis for certain!

Delicious! The place is a hole in the wall and not much to look at, but don’t let that fool you. We had calamari, a steak, chicken alfredo, and shrimp pasta. They were all very very good!

This is a jewel that you want to discover. The location is easy to miss in a small strip center but once inside you are in store for a culinary treat. The menu is diverse ensuring everyone will have a choice. The kitchen is partially open so that you can see the talented chef preparing your wonderful meal. The wait staff is pleasant and attentive without being overwhelming. I noticed this place while I was driving and decided to give it a try not knowing what to expect. What you can expect is one of the best dining experiences in the Upstate.

Kalahari is an unassuming little restaurant in a strip on Hwy 101 South East of Hwy 85. I say that because if you use the address in your GPS you may end up on the opposite side of town.
For a small restaurant it has a wonderful variety of food from burgers to grilled fish. All the food was fresh and delicious. Both my wife and I had their Ahi Tuna. She had hers medium rare and mine was medium. It came with two sides and we ordered a dinner salad with it. The food was wonderful, a great flavorful dinner and generous portions. One friend had Tilapia and was very pleased at how flavorful it was. Our other friend had their barbecue chicken and said it was very good. The service was very good. Our server was friendly and attentive.
I’d mention the ambiance, but there is none. It could use some freshening up. But, the food made the place worth stopping at.
Forget impressions, go for the great food and friendly service. You won’t be dissapointed.

The outside is deceiving. It is in a kinda run down strip mall. Once inside, the food is great and the service was outstanding. I had the chicken pasta and it was perfect. My friends had grilled tuna and grilled tilapia. Both cooked perfectly. The calamari and wings were also great. Go on inside and give it a chance. You will be happy you did.

The food was wonderful. There were 4 of us for dinner 2 of us had pasta dishes and 2 had fresh fish. I would eat anything that was served at the table. The calamari was extremely good as well.

Love this place. Great food and a wonderful staff. Kansas, Nancy and Nasser will take very good care of you.
Love the Prime Rib soup.

On restaurant side sat and had the bacon burger with fries and six Caribbean chicken wings (½ $ on thurs!) Waiter was nice. Food was superb.
