The staff is great and have great customer service but the food wasn't that good the tacos were cold along with my rice and refried beans if they would've cooked it longer without it being cold so much it would've been a good meal. The employees here are nice though so I'll give them that the very least.

We've been fans of Greenville's On the Border since it opened in 1996, and have even spent a lot of special occasions there, but it seems to be on its way out. Dismally empty and depressing at lunchtime on a December Sunday. Waited at our table 15 minutes before a server came to take our order. Food came fairly quickly and was correct. Black beans were good but fajitas were lukewarm - definitely not sizzling like they used to be. Only two tortillas included with Border Smart Chicken Fajitas. Had to ask for napkins (which we never did get), salsa refill, drink refills. Restaurant was cold, women's restroom was flooded. The server was cheerful and tried, but $50 for two (after tip) was too much for such a lackluster meal.

Absolutely delicious food! The fajitas have a smokey flavor you can't get anywhere else. They have freshly made chips, salsa, and tortillas. The queso is also great! They provide great, professional service every time I go! They also have outdoor seating which is a plus!

Management must be in shambles, because we got there on Sunday afternoon at 1230 with nearly 2/3 of the tables empty and a line of customers. But because they were either understaffed or staffed with new servers who couldn't handle the load, we were told that we would have a 25 to 35-minute wait. We left, as did several others, meaning revenue walked out the door because while there was physical capacity, there was not sufficient personnel to serve customers ready to spend money.
