Building upon the success of the Augusta Grill on Augusta Street, which opened in 1993, The Haywood Grill opened this week in the former Stax Grill location at 850 Woods Crossing Road, near Haywood Mall in Greenville.
Co-owner Curtis Flint said he and his business partner, Buddy Clay, are “not trying to do anything different” with the new restaurant and the Haywood Grill menu will be similar to Augusta Grill’s with steak, fish and chicken dishes. The two chose to open the second location as they saw a lot of redevelopment in the area and are near many neighborhoods near Roper Mountain, Verdae and Parkins Mill, said Flint.
The space has been completely remodeled and has an upscale feel with dark interior and wood. A bar area serves as a meeting and gathering space. “We want a very relaxed, casual atmosphere with a comfort food but fine dining experience,” said Flint. “We’re not just a restaurant and we’re not just a bar.”
Haywood Grill will be open for dinner only Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, visit augustagrill.com.
