Lewis Barbecue (Greenville, SC)

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. They have free valet parking which is clutch, especially downtown on a Friday night.  I liked the overall modern aesthetic and interior design but it is fairly…

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….

Cartwright Food Hall (Greer, SC)

The new food court (a.k.a. artisanal lifestyle eatery) is officially open in Greer, SC. Chris and I checked it out on opening weekend and then went back two weeks later with my sisters to try more options. Both times we went the owners were there making the rounds and greeting customers which was a nice…

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…

Papi’s Tacos

After checking out this small restaurant, I now think of the Saturday Night Live sketch with Chris Farley shouting about “living in a van down by the river” when it comes to mind but I digress this is a food blog. I heard of Papi’s a few years ago when it was mentioned in an…
