A childhood friend came to town for a work trip recently. When she got done with the conference on Friday, we decided to check out a new spot in town. She is always down for a good time. My husband had to work so he missed out. I’ve heard good things about Lewis Barbecue, a…

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…
Social Burger
We are trying to knock new spots in town (#yeahTHATGreenville) off of our list. Social Burger is a walk-up hamburger concept in the new Camperdown development in downtown Greenville. The prices seemed reasonable. I’m always game to try a new burger! The Main Event We went right when it opened so there was no line….
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…
Coral
This relatively new seafood eatery is located beside the flagship Rick Erwin‘s on Main Street in downtown Greenville. We picked this trendy spot to celebrate our eighth anniversary.

There are two other locations in the Lowcountry. The centerpiece of this hipster establishment is the wood-fired pizza oven….
Saskatoon Steaks, Fish and Wild Game
After years of talking about it, we finally made it to Saskatoon for Chris’s birthday. The name says it all. Think hunting lodge with lofty ceilings and wood as far as the eye can see. There was even a wooden grizzly bear at the entrance and a fireplace in the foyer. This place is the…
The Lazy Goat
Now that we are in our eighth year of marriage, we are running out of new spots to try for major holidays. There is a good bit of turnover in the #yeahTHATgreeenville restaurant scene so there are always new places to try but not places on the anniversary/birthday/Valentine’s Day level. In 2022, Valentine’s Day was…
Warehouse at Vaughns (Simpsonville, SC)
Mall food courts are dying out but the food hall concept is on the rise. There are several new developments in the works in the Upstate. Gather GVL in downtown Greenville is already a popular spot. Both Easley and Greer have food halls, The Silos and Cartwright Food Hall, coming soon.
