This Caribbean fusion restaurant specializes in plates like the Jamaican Me Hungry chicken sandwich, which comes fully loaded with jerk chicken, bacon, cheese, and plantains. The Travelers Rest location is housed in an old firehouse and often hosts live bands playing anything from Caribbean reggae to Southern jazz. 

Coffee lovers have found a home at Tandem, where they brew Counter Culture coffee and serve all the caffeinated drinks Millennials love — think honey lavender lattes and housemade spiced chai. As the namesake suggests, Tandem is also a place to find savory and sweet crepes made using white, wheat, cornmeal or almond batter. Many of the sweet options are riffs on classic desserts like tiramisu and pumpkin pie. 

Located just a hop, skip and a jump from the Swamp Rabbit Trail, this brewery has a little bit of everything, from Belgian-style white ales to German marzens and pilsners. Patrons can snack on bites from food trucks like Mo & Joe’s BBQ and Hip Burger in between sips of craft beer.

Stop by this quintessential smokehouse for all things barbecue. Start with smoked hash queso dip, which features a variety of house-smoke meats, before diving into a tray of sliced brisket or dry rubbed ribs.

Sidewall Pizza now has six locations, but the original is housed in a former tire shop on TR’s Main Street. Find thin crust pies like the basil pesto Greenville Goddess along with a new flavor of housemade ice cream each day.

Just behind Farmhouse Tacos find The Tasting Room, a casual wine bar where guests can order by the glass or take a bottle to go. This establishment, which also offers craft beers on tap, celebrates the finer things in an approachable and reasonably priced manner. 

Farmhouse could be classified as a craft taco joint, and the options run the gamut, from chili-rubbed tuna to fried avocado with cilantro pesto or charred pepper steak with blue cheese crumbles. There’s also nachos, queso and a loaded burrito bowl.

Go to Hare & Field for refined bar food and fancy burgers like the Southern Gentlemen, which is topped with bacon, smoked barbecue sauce, and pimento cheese. Stop by for weekend brunch when the eatery offers biscuits, grit bowls and bottomless mimosas.
