It was a rainy Friday night and per usual we were taking turns shooting down each other’s restaurant choices. Lately, we have been going to spots in Greer and Travelers Rest to avoid trying to find parking in downtown Greenville.
We received some random coupons in the mail so that helped guide our decision making. Since he lived in Kansas City, Chris is a barbecue aficionado (or at least he thinks he is). One summer, we literally drove all over Texas in search of good barbecue. Check out Lockhart’s in Dallas. Trust me.
Back to TR, their main street is becoming quite the foodie paradise. So far, we’ve been to Sushi Yama, Farmhouse Taco’s, Tandem , etc
The sweet tea was like drinking liquid sugar. I have a serious sweet tooth but it was sweet even for me. A little watering down would have resulted in the perfect glass. Chris had the brisket platter and I had the pulled pulled pork plate.
Brisket Platter included Sliced Brisket, Jalapeno Hush Puppies, Baked Beans, Homemade Pickle and Cornbread Muffin.
Pulled Pork Meal included French Fries, Mac & Cheese, Homemade Pickle and Cornbread Muffin.
Pro’s
Cool hipster barbecue spot
Popcorn while you wait
Food arrived fast once you were seated
Handcut fries were excellent (Think Good Stuff Eatery in DC!)
Uniquely flavored baked beans
Mac & cheese was legit (None of that Kraft smooth cheese. Real cheese like that Sargento sharp cheese my mom uses for her mac & cheese.)
Mild homemade pickles were a nice garnish
To go portion of banana pudding was large and tasty (Not too many banana’s)
Live music on the weekends

Con’s
Hush puppies were a little dry
Wait time
No giant flat screens (You actually have to talk to each other.) *Though this could be a plus for some….
Sauces (Flavor was good but I prefer a thicker consistency.)
Final Thoughts
They have a nice outdoor area that we might want to try in the summer on a nice day. The sides were excellent. We might go back just for the beans, mac and cheese and banana pudding!
