Restaurants in Travelers Rest

“We had a lovely lunch on the back deck listening to acoustic music. It was so such a special experience. The food was beautiful and delicious and the staff was lovely. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Absolutely love this little gem! My daughter loves the crafts too. It’s so nice being able to grab a bite, relax with a good book and watch your littles coloring.”

“If you are looking for a beautiful view, delicious food and great service, look no further than Restaurant 17.”

“Great place to pop in for excellent tacos after a walk on the swamp rabbit trail.

Sat at the bar for a few beers and tacos. They have some unique items and quick friendly service.

Everyone loves tacos and this is a great place to get some.”

“Great staff. Great beer. Dog friendly!”

“A great mom and pop cafe off the beatin’ path. They really make you feel welcome.”

“Excellent Food , as always, however, the Hostess tonight was extremely rude!!”

“Best cheese burger made my a really cute guy!”

“We biked the swamp rabbit trail - half our group wanted sushi and the other half wanted pizza. Sushi Yama was nice to let the other half of our group have their pizza out on the patio dining area. Our water was super knowledgeable and helpful! Sushi was some of the best I've had. Highly recommend the Carolina roll and the swamp rabbit roll (if you are ok with cream cheese)... Love the area for kids next door with plastic axe throwing, etc.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly”

“We had been for brunch a few times but never did dinner until today. We have lived in the upstate for three years and have never had a meal that compared to what we had tonight. Everything was absolutely perfect. Our food, waitress and the whole experience! We will be returning soon.”

“Simple, delicious Pho. Excellent service. Vegetables are very fresh, everything high quality + all the fine details down to the way the onions and herbs are sliced make this a top tier experience. Hidden gem of the upstate!”

“We love this charming winery in the woods! Everything about it is delightful. The owners are so nice and easy to talk to. The property is so peaceful! Their dog Lilly is precious. And the wine is devine!!!”

“The atmosphere was great. Friendly staff. Options to be indoors and outdoors. Parking is a bit tricky. Limited but good selection of German - Belgian inspired beer. Appreciated many of them and not caring for 2. Nice swag to buy. Did have some light appetizers. There are a few selections for the non beer drinkers of seltzers and wines. Dog-friendly -- extra bonus points!”

“They have the best hamburger steak (The Rev) that I have ever eaten. Top that with some gravy, mushrooms and grilled onions and it's out of this world! We had been camping at Jones Gap and had our dog with us so they let us sit at the table outside. Everyone was so sweet. One of the ladies brought our dog a water bowl and the cook brought our food out to us. I had collards and mac & cheese for sides and they were wonderful as well. We always visit Northwest Grill when we go camping. I wish we were closer just so we could eat here more often. You locals sure are lucky. Great food, excellent service and nice people!”

“Great food. Everyone is so accommodating”

“I received a recommendation to stop here on my 2-week roadtrip and I’m so glad I did! Loved it!!! Wonderful food, friendly people. ❤️”

“One of the very best coffee shops in the Greenville area! Travelers Rest is a gem, and the Bridge City location here is special. It’s cozy, warm, the perfect level of background noise, and a cheery environment. Grateful for this place! It really fills up my cup!!

Dietary restrictions: They are helpful in helping me navigate drinks that are both gluten free and dairy free!”

“Best chai lattes anywhere around!”

“The food is good, the service staff was very helpful and the atmosphere was typical of most Mexican restaurants that I go to. Our server barely spoke any English but she worked very hard to try and make the meal perfect. She was very good!”

“Great pizza and salads and a fabulous gluten free crust!! We had the protein pizza, spicy Hawaiian, little pepperoni, all with regular crust and they were all delicious. We also ordered the BBQ chicken, antipasto, and margahrita all on gluten free crust. .yum!! Often you are charged extra for GF and it is a lame pre-made cauliflower crust that tastes like cardboard. Not at Sidewall! This is homemade and almost like a Detroit style...a little thicker crust with a crispy bottom...so good!

The salads are fabulous...highly recommend the one with butternut squash and kale, but liked them all.

Dietary restrictions: Really outstanding gluten-free pizza”

“Good food great service clean place to take your family.”

“This was our second time at Coastal Crust and we had Rachel again as a server! I think she was the only server working, but we never felt neglected and she went above and beyond to make sure we always had water and that everything was okay and to our liking. The Italian salad and fig & prosciutto pizza are amazing!! Will definitely come back again, hopefully Rachel is working!! ??”

“Very good food great service”

“Friendly down home service! Awesome and delicious food!”

“Been wanting to try this spot for a while and finally got around to it. Classic diner with the best prices in the area! Pancakes, bacon, eggs, biscuits were all great. Will be coming back!”

“Awesome food. I asked for Meatloaf and the owner placed it on the menu the next week. Great food and customer service. I wish they were open every day for supper.”

“Definitely worth a Whistle Stop.”

“The cook she was great, the server she was terrible. The server was not friendly at all, bad attitude when she brought our food on 8/10/22 at 6:45 pm the server never came to refresh our coffee and left the cook all alone with all the tables full. Manager needs to pull security and see this. For 25 minutes we never saw her again. We finished our meal and she still was not back. The cook was having to cook, clean tables. wait on customers, she was doing a great job. TR waffle house hope you look at your security footage.”

“Had supper here last week with a friend. It was pretty good! I got the Rocky Balboa burger, and he got a Philly Cheesesteak. My burger had a fried egg and bacon on top. The bacon was VERY salty, so it overpowered the flavor of the burger itself. But the 8 oz of meat was juicy and tender. The onion rings were also delicious. It's definitely worth going back, in my opinion! Especially because they also have two, three, and four-patty burgers! Definitely want to try one of those sometime... ?”

“Petee's has always been our, "go to"for a quick bite when in town but today was not good. The wait at the drive through was long and the over cooked hamburgers were cold. I'm sorry Petee's I call it like I see it.”

“Great place very friendly staff and great food. We went on Sunday evening to play Jukebox Bingo and won some cash! it's a lot of fun!”

“We go here often. With my twin granddaughters. They eat well and love the candy machines too. Great place to eat!”

“Stopped in for lunch was working in area, had cheeseburger plate and was delicious fries were hot and fresh cheeseburger tasted really good the tea was sweet, thank you for the great lunch! Definitely check them out!”

“Pup sundae for Rocky’s first birthday!”

“My wife and I just moved to this area from Landrum but Spartanburg part. We have ordered from Nate’s, and the food has been great. Pizza was good, cheese bread was delicious, but we tried the hot subs….and wow! I have gotten the Meatball sub 3-4 times already. My wife has tried multiple subs and has loved them all. Great bread, thin, and crunchy. The meatballs are great, melted cheese, sauce, and a great seasoning to top it off! This place knocks it out every time!”

“I was there today, and they made me a shake and a tea just let me say so amazing that I joined today go try them out”

“Friendly staff, good portions with more then expected meat. Quite tasty and affordable. Skip the fast food and go here instead. ���”

“We stopped by 4/6/24 after leaving the car show at advance auto parts, and the staff was great! Ashley and another employee were nice enough to come out to our vehicle and check out the audio!! We definitely recommend this restaurant for a family friendly restaurant.”

“We had my sisters graduation party here and everything was outstanding!! Even with it being a busy lunch shift and slightly understaffed, we still received excellent service & wonderful food. The bourbon BBQ wings and flat bread pizza were delicious. Definitely recommend.”

“It is so nice to drive down the mountain and see civilization again. I am writing this review after all the storms and flooding from Helinie and it is clean, the food is hot, and credit cards work as well as their restrooms. Right now I could not ask for more.

Kid-friendliness: Has a play area and plenty of kids having fun.”

“Went in for breakfast this morning and had the best waitress and the food was delicious! She even brought out ice water for our little pup! I would definitely recommend this local, family owned restaurant. It definitely has a small town feel and not overly crowded. We will definitely be back!”
