Mr. Crisp

This is another fairly new spot in the Overbrook area of #yeahTHATgreenville. The outside gives converted garage vibes. The minimalist theme is visible throughout. Rattan basket lighting gave the cavernous space a bit of warmth. Even without reservations, we were able to be seated fairly quickly on a Friday night. I’d recommend reservations to be…

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Camperdown

I’ve been hearing about Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams for years. There was that time Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi revealed she had a freezer stocked with the $12 a pint ice cream. We recently got a new location in downtown Greenville in the Camperdown development. Locally, there’s a spot called Claire’s Creamery that we…

Coastal Crust

This eatery is located in the Village of West Greenville in Greenville, SC. It is near a local favorite, The Village Grind. We went on a Friday so it was hopping but the wait wasn’t long. There are two other locations in the Lowcountry. The centerpiece of this hipster establishment is the wood-fired pizza oven….

Review: Greenville Soy Candle Co.

I have been looking into what it would take to start a candle making company. The easy part is the names for the hypothetical scents. The harder part is the actual making of the candles. After talking to someone already in the business, the next step was to take a class to get a better…

The Dive on Augusta Street

This eatery is located next to Two Rooms, a home decor shop I occasionally like to peruse on the weekends. We were starving so we decided to take a chance since it was close. It lives up to its characterization as a dive. The interior is fairly small though there are a few full-size wooden…

Husk: BBQ

The Story It was a rainy, cold New Year’s Day and the family was out of town. Obviously, I wasn’t cooking anything (holiday = break) so Chris suggested we check out Husk: Smokin BBQ. It was previously a regular Husk eatery based off of the original Husk venture in Charleston, South Carolina. We’ve had great…

Eating Our Way Through Greenville: Fork and Plough

This is another of those relatively new, farm to table spots that keep popping up around Greenville. They describe themselves as an “all-in-one restaurant, grocery store, and butcher shop.” I heard good reviews from colleagues who hosted a lunch there so Chris and I decided to check it out one Saturday while we were out…

Kiki’s Chicken and Waffles

Everyone has that one friend whose word is unassailable when it comes to food recommendations. My cousin, DJ, swore by Kiki’s Chicken and Waffles in Columbia, SC, near Columbiana Centre Mall. That was good enough for me. The Service We had a large party so it took awhile but the server methodically worked her way…

Myles Pizza Pub

The Story This new to Greenville but four decades old pizzeria was highly recommended by my brother. It was covered a few times in The Greenville News so we added it to our list of eateries to check out. It’s located next to Eastlan Baptist Church (now Eastlan Newspring) near Greenville Tech. Although the space…
